The covenant that God had with Israel (The Law) is not binding to the Body of Christ. Tithing had nothing to do with money. It was food items that were tithed. Scriptures have been taken out of context and in many cases intentionally. Now those that are bent on lying are now using a spiritual testing ground theology to deceive. This testing ground is a feel good doctrine implying that those who tithe money are showing faith. They are not having a problem with money. Hello,, there is no command to tithe anything.
