   Redeemed From the Curse   
      
   If Malachi 3:8-9..........   
       
   Malachi 3:8 - "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein   
   have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings."   
      
   Malachi 3:9 "Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this   
   whole nation"....is an accusation toward Christians, pronouncing a curse upon   
   those who do not bring tithes into the storehouse, bringing 10% of their   
   household monetary income to    
   the storehouse WILL NOT lift the curse.    
       
   Malachi is speaking of agricultural tithes, not monetary tithes. Malachi 3:7   
   is calling for a return to God's Ordinances.  Here is what God's tithe   
   Ordinance says His tithe is to be:   
      
   Leviticus 27:30 - "And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the   
   land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD.   
      
   Leviticus 27:32 - "And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even   
   of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.   
      
   Deuteronomy 12:17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn,   
   or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock,   
   nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave   
   offering of thine    
   hand:   
      
   That's it. God never said that monetary tithes are to be given.  He said the   
   tithe is to be agricultural.  Giving money will not lift the curse pronounced   
   in Malachi 3:8-9.     
      
   The truth is, the curse pronounced in Malachi 3:8-9 can never be the fate of a   
   Christian.  And here's why:     
      
   Galatians 3:13 - "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being   
   made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a   
   tree:"   
      
   There is no curse for not tithing; the curse of the Law was lifted when Christ   
   was hung on the cross..  Put your faith in Christ, not in the curse of the Law.
