Ten Tough Questions to Ask Tithers

Posted on 07/26/12 by Jared Bartholomew — 1 Comment ↓
This article was origninally published on our old site. I have decided to rewrite and improve it. This is a list of questions that you should ask tithing supporters.
  1. If God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, why has the tithing law changed so drastically from Israel’s time to where we are now?
  2. Why don’t we honor the tithing feast in Deuteronomy 14?
  3. Even though Israel had gold and silver, and could barter, why were they required to only give food, but we are permitted to give money?
  4. Were the tithes used to build the temple or help with maintenance?
  5. In Genesis 14, why did Abraham give 10% of his war spoils and not of his own wealth?
  6. Why was Israel required to give less than 1% of the increase in spoils of war? (Numbers 31).
  7. The tithe was used to support civil and governmental duties performed by Levites, so why are we required to tithe before taxes are taken out?
  8. Is tithing a schoolmaster that has already BROUGHT us to Christ, or is it still bringing us?
  9. In Malachi 3, because specific portions of offerings were required as well, Israel robbed God not only of tithes but also offerings. So why are offerings freewill for us?
  10. Let’s compare these two statements:
    - Where should our giving begin? vs.
    - Where should we end our giving?
    - Now, which answer should we be teaching?

One of the biggest perks of the new site is the free, new, tithing e-book. It’s not all about tithing, but it’s merely a deconstruction of tithing, and then an embracing of Spirit led giving.

There is an introduction, a preface, and eight other chapters here they are listed below. The book is about 50 pages long.

  1. First Fruits
    Explains the meaning of first fruits and the difference between the first fruit offering and the tithe
  2. Abraham & Jacob
    Describes the experiences of tithing by both Abraham & Jacob, and explains how their actions cannot be used to require tithing.
  3. Jesus on Tithing
    Goes through Jesus experiences with tithing when he confronts the pharisees. Also an evaluation of Peter & the Temple tax and financing Jesus’ earthly ministry
  4. Eternal Principle
    An explanation of the differences between the eternal purpose of the Spirit of the law vs  the temporal purpose of the letter of the law.
  5. The Minimum Standard
    An explanation of the tithing minimum standard misconception
  6. The Local Storehouse
    Explains the purpose of the storehouse in the bible and the distortion of what it has evolved into today.
  7. The Burden of Tithing
    Describes how the tithe is more of a burden that it is a blessing
  8. Greater Giving

Ok. The new and improved site is here. As you can see, the number one change is the new domain. This site used to be located at www.tithing.com, but now here we are at www.tithing.com. The next largest change is the home page. You can see that it is completely redesigned.

You may notice a few main features on the home page. One, is the live chat feature. Please feel free to ask a question directly through the live chat feature. Many times people come to this website looking for a quick answer or something a little different than what they found. Please ask any question through the live chat.

The next feature you will notice is the 60+ questions answered on tithing arguments. This page was on our old website, but it was very difficult to find unless you actually found it directly linked through a google search. On this page you will find over 60 pro-tithing arguments debunked. Each argument comes with a response listed with bible verses explaining the rebuttal.

The next feature is the tithing e-book download. This book breaks down the discrepancies found with tithing in the Church, and offers the ultimate solution to giving that God intended for his people. The tithing e-book is about 50 pages long with about 10 chapters. i will write a more thorough review of the book in an upcoming post.

For now, if you see any issues with the site, or have any other problems please contact me. Also, if you wish to add a downloadable resource on the resources page, please send me a link
