Tithing is not for the Church The doctrine of the Church is only found from Romans to Philemon. Doctrine can only be properly understood through the doctrine of Dispensations. The law of Moses only applies to the time period of the dispensation of the Law. This law has no application in our time period, the dispensation of Grace. Pastors who teach tithing using verses from the law of Moses, or even worse, teach that tithing is a sacrament of the church (like my former church) do violence to truth and scripture. In reality, there were several mandatory tithes and offerings under the Law totaling well more than half a person’s income. Add to this that all debts and land purchases were canceled after a period of time as well. The purchased land actually reverted back to the family you bought it from every 49 years under the Law! The doctrine of giving taught by Paul for the Church is merely to give as you are blessed. Nowhere does he talk about tithing or set any other amount or percentage. Maranatha, Lewis
