Malachi 3:10 says, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” First of all, through Malachi, the Lord was talking to the Levites, and not the congregation. God says the more truth you attain the more truth will be revealed to you. But once I came into the knowledge of the truth I can no longer do so. I too have uses this verse to encourage and motivate believers to tithe because I was taken it out of context. The most used scripture to justify the payment tithes in the church is Malachi 3:10.
Every believer has been purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ and saved by grace, which means we are under the dispensation of grace and not the law.
If you are paying tithes out of a sense of necessity or obligations you are denying the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Galatians 3:13 says Jesus Christ has redeemed us from the law. According to Colossians 2:14, Jesus Christ has wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us and nailed it to the cross. Tithing, (10%) is a requirement under the law that was established in the Old Testament. I am a tither and will continue to do so, but the truth of the matter is GOD DOES NOT REQUIRE US TO PAY A TITHE. I will admit I was very hesitate to teach this truth to my congregation because for decades I believed what various Pastors and Believers have said about tithing. Therefore, I challenge all who disagree to a debate with the only source of reference being the Word of God. Let me begin from the outset by saying 99 percent of the pastors in this community will disagree with this article about tithing.
