   Often when teaching the biblical truth about tithes people will ask me, "When   
   did the tithe start?" as if the answer to their question will be an "aha!"   
   moment for them and a theological coup d'etat.   
      
   Tell me, which "tithe" are you speaking of when you say, "When did the tithe   
   start?"   
      
   1. Are you speaking of the tithe of war spoils?   
      
   That started three hundred fifty years before the giving of the Law to the   
   nation of Israel when Abram met Melchizedek at the valley of Shaveh after   
   killing an army of wicked kings.   
      
   2. Are you speaking of the tithe of agriculture grown and bred on the   
   inherited land?   
      
   That started in 960 B.C. after the Israelites had taken possession of the land   
   of Canaan and were at rest from their enemies round about. (Deuteronomy   
   12:10-11; 2 Chronicles 6:5-6)   
      
   3. Or are you speaking of the tithe of man's monetary income?   
      
   That started in the 20th Century A.D. after a pastor decided to play God and   
   invent his own tithe doctrine to make money from gullible uneducated fools.   
      
   >> So, which tithe are you speaking of?
