A Case ‘Against’ Tithing | Verse By Verse Bible Study

What does the bible say about tithing? Are Christians Still Required to Tithe?
Under The New Covenant? You Might Be Surprised at The Truth

🚫💰 Why Christians Are NOT Required to Tithe 💬🙌

This topic might ruffle a few feathers, so take a deep breath and hear me out. 🧘‍♂️ I’m not saying, “Don’t give.” And I’m definitely not saying the church doesn’t need support. What I am saying is this:

👉 There is zero biblical requirement for Christians to tithe.
Anyone teaching otherwise is doing so on their own accord — not God’s Word. 📖❌

So, why bring this up? 🤔
Because one of the biggest turn-offs for unbelievers is this idea that “you have to give 10% if you want to be in the club.” That’s not the Gospel — that’s guilt. 😞 and it’s guilt from humans, not God.

Let’s break it down:

📜 In the Old Testament, tithing was part of the law — a system for Jewish people to support Levitical priests who didn’t own land or earn paychecks. Make sure you didn’t miss what I said. It was a system for JEWISH people. If you were not Jewish, you were not required to tithe.
💡 Tithes back then weren’t even money — they were crops like mint, dill, and cumin (Matthew 23:23).
⛔ But once Jesus went to the cross, that Old Covenant was fulfilled — and with it, the tithe requirement ended.

💡 Under the New Covenant, God calls us to give freely, from the heart, not under pressure or percentages (2 Corinthians 9:7).

Here are a few truths that are hard to ignore:

1️⃣ 📖 You won’t find a single verse where a non-Jewish person tithed — or was asked to. Ever. Might find a few questions teaching that is some biblical message. I don’t know what book they’re reading, but they’re not getting it from the Bible.
2️⃣ ✝️ After the cross, even Jewish believers were no longer told to tithe. Not once.
3️⃣ 📦 Yes, Malachi says “bring the whole tithe into the storehouse,” but that’s talking about food storage, not bank accounts. Let’s not twist scripture for convenience. And if we’re going to use Malachi as the example, then we don’t need to worry about tithing or money, we need to plan a garden, and bring a tie from that.

God isn’t a banker looking to “match your donation.” 🙄
He doesn’t need our money to spread the gospel. 💬❤️
And He certainly isn’t testing your faith by watching your Venmo activity.

✔️ YES, give.
✔️ YES, be generous.
✔️ YES, meet needs.
But ❌ don’t give because someone scared you into it, or told you God’s blessings depend on a percentage. And please know if you’re considering the faith, parting with 10% of your money, it’s not a prerequisite to join us. The only prerequisite is that you believe. Everything else is a free gift to you.
🙌 If you give 10% — awesome. Just don’t confuse voluntary generosity with a divine requirement. God is not a slot machine, where we pump in our quarters, and outcomes the reward. God is not good because you tithe. He’s good because He’s good. Apart from your works, apart from your effort, and even apart from all the bad decisions you might make.

Now, let’s get real…
If giving 10% made you rich, then people in third-world countries just need to donate their one bowl of rice to be “blessed,” right? 😔🍚

Come on — that’s not the Gospel.
That’s manipulation. And it’s harmful.

Paul actually warns us in 1 Timothy 6:5 by saying “those who think godliness is a means to financial gain art of depraved mind.” 💸📛.

🚨 I welcome any challenge from scripture — ANY verse that teaches a requirement to tithe, or that giving 10% guarantees financial blessing. But spoiler alert: you won’t find it. Not to sound close minded, but I’m not interested. Any individual story where you gave some money to the church, and open your mailbox and there was a check. There are plenty of unbelieving people who never donate any money who are far richer than most of us. I’m interested in what the Bible says. Not a personal story that cannot be confirmed as a divine act from God.

💬 Let’s give because we love.
Let’s give because we care.
But let’s stop the guilt, the pressure, and the myths. 🙏❤️. If you actually want other people to come to the faith, this would be a good starting point because it’s one heck of a turn off to most people.
