Tithing Is Not A Christian Teaching <8K>

The danger of "tithing" is the mindset that "I give God His 10% and the other 90% is mine." In the Christian faith, Jesus owns it all. We are called to be stewards of every single dollar, using our resources to care for our families, our communities, and the vulnerable—not just checking a box on Sunday morning.

Most of us grew up hearing the "10% rule." We’ve been told that Malachi 3:10 is the standard for every believer: bring the full tithe into the storehouse or face a curse.

Under the Mosaic Law, tithing was specifically for the nation of Israel to support the Levites (who had no land inheritance) and the poor. It wasn't just money; it was grain, fruit, and livestock. Since Christians are not under the Old Covenant Law (Romans 6:14), the legal requirement of the 10% tithe ended at the Cross. Hint: It’s not about the 10%
