Is the Bible Lying to Us?
(or is the preacher the one that is lying?)
by Ronald W Robey
a) According to the Bible, Leviticus 27:30,32; Deuteronomy 12:17 Gods’ tithe is to be agriculture and agricultural food by-products. Is the Bible lying to us?
b) According to the Bible, Leviticus 27:34 the command to tithe was given to the children of Israel. Is the Bible lying to us?
c) According to the Bible, Psalms 147:19-20 the commands given to Israel were given to no other nation. Is the Bible lying to us?
d) According to the Bible, Deuteronomy 12:10-11 those who God commanded to tithe were to move to the land of Canaan to live there and the place God would choose to place His name would in Canaan would be the place God’s commanded tithe was to go. Is the Bible lying to us?
e) According to the Bible, Numbers 18:21 God gave the tithe required of the congregation to the Levites as their inheritance. Is the Bible lying to us?
f) According to the Bible, Numbers 18:21-23 the congregation was not to tithe to the House of God. (obviously if the tithe of the congregation was to be the inheritance of the Levite it could not be the property of the House of God) Is the Bible lying to us?
g) According to the Bible, Nehemiah 10:29,38 the tithe of the tithe is what is the property of the House of God, not the full tithe given by the congregation. Is the Bible lying to us?
h) According to the Bible, Numbers 18:21-23; Nehemiah 10:29,38 the Levite is the only one God authorized and commanded to tithe to the House of God. Is the Bible lying to us?
i) According to the Bible, Malachi 3:7 is calling for a return to God’s ordinances. (a-h above) Therefore, Malachi cannot be speaking to the congregation as the ordinances say that the congregation is not to go near the House of God with their tithes. He would not call for a return to God’s ordinances in verse 7 and then tell the congregation to transgress the ordinances in verse 10.
Likewise, Malachi cannot be speaking of monetary tithes, for he was calling for a return to God’s ordinances. And again, he would not call for a return to God’s ordinances in verse 7 and then tell people to transgress the ordinances in verse 10.
So Malachi is speaking of agricultural tithes. Specifically, the tithe of the agricultural tithes that the Levite received from the congregation.
j) According to the Bible, Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42 the scribes and Pharisees were tithing agricultural crops and Jesus said they ought to have been doing so. Is the Bible lyng?
k) According to the Bible, Hebrews 7:5-9 the Levites still had a command to take tithes, “according to the Law”, i.e agricultural tithes. Is the Bible lying?
There is not one verse inn the entire Bible where God commands anyone to take a tenth of their monetary income to the House of God. But many handle the word of God deceitfully. And through that deceit, they have made the word of God a lie and the God of the word a liar.
