The Emancipation of Tithing

Have you ever felt guilty about not tithing from your gross or net income? Did you ever wonder whether or not God was really cursing you or others for not giving him 10% of your money? Have you been a committed tither and yet struggled with maintaining your day-to-day financial needs? If so, this book is written and dedicated for you. The Emancipation of Tithing is a book that features straight-forward and biblical information about the history and practices of tithing before the law of Moses, the institution of tithing in the Law of Moses, and the absence of tithing during the days of Christ. This book also enlightens you about the creative sayings and scare tactics that are often used by many leaders to keep you spellbound and captivated by a religious practice that is no longer a required custom. This book will provide you with key elements encompassing the fundamental practices of tithing, the true purpose of free will giving, and is guaranteed to provide answers to many questions surrounding this controversial topic. As the author, my hope and prayer is that every reader will gain a better perspective with the information that is enclosed in this book. This book is not designed to change every reader's mind; however, it is designed to challenge every reader's philosophy. I simply ask that every reader to approach this information free from the preconceived notions of years past and retain only those things that are biblically proven. Let us no longer defend thought patterns that sounds reasonably good; but let us secure and preserve only those things that we can provide evidence. My attempt in writing this book was not to be anti-tithing, but to show relevant and compelling truth about the history of tithing and its purposes with its interactions. Furthermore, my effort with this attempt will become futile, it I did not incorporate biblically on how these earlier practices with its interactions diminished through out biblical history. The argument of "whether we should tithe or not" will probably live on forever; however, I can appreciate those who stand by what they perceive as truth as long as they have biblical references that is guided in the context of the scriptures. Stating, "He that is faithful in little is also faithful in much" has completely nothing to do with tithing and to use this statement as proof to why we should pay tithes is purely unfounded and is a lesson in showing how easy it can be to misappropriate an essential and vital piece of history that was written long ago.
