About this title

Synopsis

This booklet sets out to quickly demonstrate the complexity of tithing and why it should not be appropriated in the church. It reaches into the ancient customs and practices, the Mosaic Law, Malachi and The New Testament. I find it alarming that certain ministry has successfully introduced an unscriptural and summarised version into the church. The teaching of tithing finds no place in the New Covenant. I hear a familiar sound; the pump priming for collection time. Not a collection for the saints, but a collection from the saints. A spiel of the blessings one would receive as a result from paying your ministers to hear the Word of God. This commandment is called tithing. Tithing is leaving many confused and scratching for funds to avoid condemnation. I rarely notice joy at this time but rather the forced grin of obedience. The Pentecostal tithing teaching holds strong ties with the Old Covenant way of life. Materialistic gain being the proof of our favour with God. Does this hold true to New Covenant living? I am surprised that tithing is still accepted by many churches all over the world. It is regarded by many as an infallible biblical truth.

About the Author

Dear Reader I have been a Christian for 25 years, a father and grandfather. A desire for truth has brought me to Jesus, God being the ultimate truth. It is this truth that has set me free and led me to write. A personal student of biblical theology, history and hermeneutics, introduction into philosophy and pragmatics; appropriated and exercised through authors like F.F. Bruce, Bruce Metzger, Gordon Fee, John Lennox, Ravi Zacharias, Robert Gundry. Though I hold few earthly qualifications, I try to the best of my ability to keep a critical view, exposing my work to other brothers, pastors, teachers and friends. I have many referees which are honest and not afraid to refute. I love my Lord Jesus Christ which has called me to join Him on this journey.
