Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

# 20: The argument that God wants His children to surrender 10% of their income to an institutionalized church (or to anyone) is weak. From a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the strongest), the biblical evidence supporting the religionists’ claim is less than 1!!  Jesus: “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” ….

Shortly before His crucifixion, Jesus “took the cup…. and said to [the eleven] ‘This is My blood of the NEW covenant, which is shed for many.’ “ Heb. 8:6: “He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.” The new replaced the old. Let’s consider the word new….

New (dictionary.com): of a kind not existing or appearing for the first time. The new covenant established between God and Christ never before existed. We became new covenant christians when receiving Christ at rebirth. (Paul: “Your life is hidden in Christ with God.”)

You are a new covenant christian. New, new, new. Not old, but new. Consider yourself to be what you are – “an heir of God”, “sons of light”, “the righteousness of God”, “justified by His grace”, “complete in Him”, “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people”. Strongly resist those who point you to old covenant rules and methods that were directed to old covenant saints.
