The truth about tithing

We often times heard ministers teaching that the tithing law was done away. I posted some questions to ask as to where exactly in the bible that the tithing was abrogated?

This is the most important part of the lesson to take up before we accept matters and issues that concern our salvation. In the end, there was no written record of Paul or Jesus who seemed to have stated that the tithing law was abolished even after his resurrection. 

All were ended in speculations presuming that if the old covenant is done away then it goes likewise with the tithing laws. 

Laws and covenant are two different things and, therefore, not to be confused with. 

Was the tithing law ended after the old covenant was abolished?

Make no mistake about it. The first covenant was broken long before Jesus was born YET we found the Jews observing or keeping the sabbath laws and giving tithes in the days of the Roman occupations. 

Now if the Jews have mistakenly kept the law of God then sure Jesus will rebuke them and teach them that the laws were done away. but what we expect from his action posed a terrible striking point against these modern preachers of doom that had been deceived from their unfounded faith. 

Let's read Mathew 23:23 about the tithing law:

"You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the most important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former"

What exactly Jesus said is the tithe, in order to fulfill it they should first observe its requirements in a spiritual way rather than in physical obedience equipped with the fruit of the spirit which is written in Gal 5:22-23

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law" - Gal 5:22-23

There's seem not a slight word from Jesus lectures that the tithing law was done away.  and as a new testament teacher, he should have taught them of new laws concerning the right way to be saved.

an example of God's law to stay:
Luke 10:25-28

25....“Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

²⁶ “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

²⁷ He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’^]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’^]”

²⁸ “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

  
But which book of the laws did he refer to the Jew as the source of salvation? 

of course, it's the first book we called the old testament, the only book available in his time.  
why would Jesus present it as a solution to salvation if this won't mean to last in the later times?  

Paul's message in Heb 7:8 has made it clear to all of us that the tithing law transferred its authority from the Levitical Priest to the Melchizedek Priest. 

"In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die [Mortal Levite priest]; but in the other case, by him [immortal Melchizedek] who is declared to be living"

this reference will surely send these ministers back to their study room for a  recheck of Paul's statement, it's a crash to their heart when they learn that this law is to last even to this day as our Melchizedek has been assumed by Jesus Christ himself who was authorized to collect our tithes. 

no doubt that these ministers of doom are nowhere to run and will find themselves locked up in a situation with no excuses to stand before the Lord.  

One thing I found from Jesus statement when he confronted the Jews for having raised the Caesar's tax.
“Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

 Despite the fact that the question raised is all about the tax collections, he chose to bring up God in this issue and from his statement he left a clue that sent me to contemplate deeper of what it meant to imply. 

God’s creation is in dual form.  he first created the world in heaven before earth and universe were created.  
all the living things were set up first in heaven including angels and they were governed by God's law for a long long time. Angels like humans built cities too and we could say he replicated the heavenly things and later set them up on earth. The stars therefore in heaven is a memorial dedicated to God's angels.

An illustration of angels dominion under God's kingdom

Now if Caesar received a tenth from the people, this also brings to a conclusion that God received his tithe from his angels too. 

For easy understanding of God's purpose here are some examples that I found in the bible.

.

1. God replicated himself to Man [Gen 1:26]

2. Heaven - Physical heaven [earth and Universe]

3. Angels - Animals?

4. God's throne - Jerusalem or earth

5. God's kingdom - Man's kingdom

6. Tithe - Tax

Now if taxation is entitle to the human govenment then rest assure that the tithing law is to God's kingdom.

If we remove the tithe then what’s the sense of paying our taxes to the government? the logic is there and I want people not to be ignorant of this analogy of giving.
it’s important to know that the Kingdom of God will be set up on this earth and will restore his tithing law in full pledge as one of the requirements of support for his kingdom which is about to be united with the kingdom that was set up in heaven.
it's a probable cause of its origin and non-escapable for those who teach that the tithing was done away. 

in fact, the heavy penalty which is written in Mal 4:1 is still standing waiting for them all when the time for judgment arrives.

 

Mal 4:1

“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them.
