A very important part of protestant Christian theology is ‘tithing’. To tithe means to give at least 10% of one’s increase from all sources to the church. This money goes to the church leaders for them to use for salaries, buildings and other church related ‘missions’. They teach that this is a command in the Bible. However, there is no continuing Bible command to tithe. Tithing was required in the Mosaic Law, but these ceremonial laws were fulfilled by Christ and ‘nailed to the cross’. However, all God’s people will want to help others in need and generously give themselves as a living sacrifice. Moreover, the tithe actually has an important spiritual meaning. The tithe is a symbolic reference to God’s people. More specifically, the tithe is God’s Inheritance (the giving of His holy people as a remnant). The tithe represents the remnant of people (which points to God’s people who He has saved out of this world). In the Mosaic Law, tithes were holy. God’s people are holy.
