Not all of the Israelites were required to tithe, most did not.

Jesus is never mentioned as paying a tithe or instructing his disciples to pay a tithe.

Malachi is misused and twisted to beat people and guilt them into paying tithes.


No, it doesn't.

1 Chronicles 16:22 and you are the one twisting the Malachi scripture talking about the context comes from 2:1. It switches after 3:5 when God says "saith the Lord of hosts. (6) for I am the Lord I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."

Even my Bible says the next verse is the beginning of a new idea there is a context mark on verse 7. At that point it turned, He was talking to all and everyone in Israel.

And why did Abraham give Tithe to Melchizedek? That was before the law? God calls the it His holy tithe! What is holy to God that ceases to be holy? If you can answer that, then you are calling God a liar in what He says in Malachi 3:6. "For I am the Lord, I change not." Are you saying He changes?
