GIVING OR TITHING, WHAT DOES THE NEW TESTAMENT TEACH?
We are in the New Testament of grace and NOT the Old Testament Law of Moses of Tithing.

Colossians 2:14.
Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

John 1:17.
For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Acts 15:10.
Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

Acts 15:24.
Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, “You must be circumcised and keep the law”—to whom we gave no such commandment—

Romans 7:4.
Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

See also Ephesians 2:15; Luke 16:16; Romans 6:14; 2 Corinthians 3:6-11; Mark 7:14-19; 1 Timothy 4:1-5; Colossians 2:13-17; Romans Chapters 2-8; Galatians Chapters 1-2.

If we see an Old Testament commandment repeated in the New Testament then we are to obey it. Example Ephesians 6:2 “Honor your father and mother,” is right from the ten commandments. If it is not repeated at least in principle in the New Testament then we do not observe it. Otherwise we are in a situation (as those who say we must keep the law) we must keep the dietary laws, burn witches, kill homosexuals, and stone rebellious children. James warns in James 2:10 “whosoever shall keep the whole law and disobey in one point is guilty of all.” The law was adequate for the time, it was a teacher to bring us to Christ Paul writes in Galatians 3:24. Now we are not under the law, we obey the New Testament and through our obedience to Jesus we fulfill the righteousness of the law Romans 8:4.

Please read 2 Corinthians Chapters 8-10. Giving not tithing taught. No mention of 10% tithe.

Acts 11:29.
Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea. No tithing mentioned.

Galatians 6:6.
Let him that is taught in the word communicate (share material things) unto him that teacheth in all good things. (Again no 10% demanded as the Old Testament law of Moses states)

Romans 15:26-27.
26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution (GIVING) for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
It is your duty to administer worldly things (example giving money gifts) to the people giving you spiritual things (preaching the word of God to you) feeding you truth. Again no 10% tithe demanded.

"Live by the gospel"
1 Corinthians 9:9-14.
9 For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things (preaching the word of God to you), is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? (this means giving a money gift to the church pastor)
12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
The minister or pastor feeding you the word of God is supposed to live off the contributions to the church.

2 Corinthians 9:5.
Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. No tithe mentioned.

2 Corinthians 9:7.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him (GIVE);
(not grudgingly), or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
We give as every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give. NOT TITHE! IF tithing is a New Testament command why is it not commanded? Answer - it is not taught or commanded in the New Testament but giving as you are able is!

2 Corinthians 8:2.
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. (Giving again taught)

2 Corinthians 8:9.
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
Rich in every way, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
He (Jesus) became poor (materially) so that we through His poverty and poorness in the natural realm might become rich. This does not mean you will be a millionaire but you can prosper even as your soul prospers and ask the Father to meet your needs abundantly.

These Scriptures absolutely teach that Tithing is NOT commanded in the New Testament. Because of ignorance and a lack of faith most ministers are demanding 10% putting the flock of God under the bondage of the Old testament law of Moses instead of teaching principles of giving under grace. Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made you free and do not be entangled with the yoke of bondage (law). Galatians 5:1.

2 Corinthians 9:9-15.
9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth forever.
10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;
11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal DISTRIBUTION (giving) unto them, and unto all men;
14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. (giving/ love gift)

Philippians 4:15.
Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning GIVING and receiving, but ye only.

Conclusion.
When you give, give to truth not to error. We are not to support those who teach wrong doctrine or are putting the church in bondage to the law. However God has ordained the true minister of God to be supported by love gifts and money cheerfully given by the church that he oversees. God has ordained this way to meet the needs of the true man of God who pastors a church and all the responsibilities he has in the care of the flock plus his own financial obligations.

God willing, more will be posted soon. All glory to Jesus alone.
