Theologian, Founded Dallas Theological Seminary, Influential proponent of Christian Dispensationalism
“In matters pertaining to the giving of money, the grace principle involves the believer’s recognition of God’s sovereign authority over all that the Christian is and has, and is in contrast to the Old Testament legal system of tithing which system was in force as a part of the law until the law was done away (Joh_1:16-17; Rom_6:14; Rom_7:1-6; 2Co_3:1-18; Eph_2:15; Col_2:14; Gal_3:19-25; Gal_5:18). Though certain principles of the law were carried forward and restated under grace, tithing, like sabbath observance, is never imposed on the believer in this dispensation. Since the Lord’s day superseded the legal sabbath and is adapted to the principles of grace as the sabbath could not be, so tithing has been superseded by a new system of giving which is adapted to the teachings of grace as tithing could not be.”
