Part 1: Can Tithes Be a Gesture Like Giving?

1. Tithing is more than a general gesture of giving. It is a specific instruction in the Bible.

Leviticus 27:30 (KJV) - “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.”

2. Tithes are a set portion (10%)—not just any amount, unlike offerings.

Malachi 3:10 (KJV) - “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house…”

3. Tithes are not the same as offerings or acts of charity.

Deuteronomy 12:6 (NIV) - “...bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, what you have vowed to give and your freewill offerings…”

Part 2: Must Tithes Be Paid to a Particular Denomination?

1. Tithes were originally given to God through His designated servants (Levites).

Numbers 18:21 (NIV) - “I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the tent of meeting.”

2. In today’s context, this aligns with the local church and ministers of the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:13-14 (NIV) - “Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple...? In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.”

3. There’s no biblical command to restrict tithing to a “denomination,” but there is a principle to tithe where you are spiritually fed.

Galatians 6:6 (ESV) - “Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.”
