   >> If you tithe based on this...   
      
   Malachi 3:10 - "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be   
   meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I   
   will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that   
   there shall not be room    
   enough to receive it."   
      
   >> You're placing yourself back under the Law of Moses based on this...   
      
   Malachi 3:7 - "Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine   
   ordinances*, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto   
   you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? "   
      
   *"mine ordinances" is the Law of Moses.   
      
   >> And, this...   
      
   Malachi 4:4 - "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto   
   him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments."   
      
   >> You're then subject to this...   
      
   James 2:10 - "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one   
   point, he is guilty of all."   
      
   Galatians 5:3 - "For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he   
   is a debtor to do the whole law."   
      
   Galatians 3:10 - "For as many as are of the works of the law are under the   
   curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all   
   things which are written in the book of the law to do them."   
      
   >> Still think you want to tithe based on Malachi 3:10? I ask because the Word   
   of God says this...   
      
   "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but   
   under grace." - Romans 6:14   
      
   And, regarding tithing, the Word of God says this...   
      
   Hebrews 7:18 - "For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going   
   before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof."   
      
   And, this...   
      
   Acts 15:24 - "Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us   
   have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be   
   circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:"   
      
   FACT; New Testament Christians have no command or instructions to tithe   
   anything to anyone.    
      
   NO APOSTLE   
      
   In the New Covenant, no Apostle ever taught tithing, asked for a tithe,   
   revealed any guidelines for tithing, rebuked any person or church for not   
   tithing, or received a tithe for themselves. Not one of them. The early church   
   seen in the Book of Acts or    
   in the Epistles NEVER tithed. We have NO record of them doing so, not a single   
   verse stating that tithing was practiced by the early church.   
      
   In the New Covenant there are no examples of anyone paying a tithe to anyone   
   in any way shape or form. Matthew 23:23 takes place at a time under the Old   
   Covenant, was a matter of the law of Moses, and does not instruct a Christian   
   to tithe.   
      
   If based on the New Covenant, that Christians should be tithing, tithing   
   instructions would be clearly included in the New Covenant for us to follow.   
   There are no such instructions. We cannot tithe based on the Old Covenant   
   because all tithing God had    
   commanded in the Old Covenant was based on the Law of Moses, we are not under   
   the Law of Moses. For Christians under the New Covenant, no such tithing   
   instructions, terms, conditions or details are outlined anywhere in the New   
   Covenant for us to follow;    
   they simply do not exist.
