Kyle wrote: There were three tithes instituted for ancient Israel: 1) An annual tithe which was to be taken to Jerusalem and used for festival celebration (Deut. 14:22–23). 2) A triennial tithe which was to be deposited in one's town in order to support the Levites and the poor (Deut. 14:28–29; Deut. 26:12). 3) An annual tithe which was given to the Levites in return for their priestly services (Num. 18:21). Which of these is continually binding on the church? Surely neither the first nor the second is binding: we do not travel to Jerusalem once a year (imagine paying the tithe solely to feast!), and we do not live in towns in ancient Israel that are made up entirely of members of the church. Is the third binding? Well, if you think the Levites are still around performing priestly functions, perhaps it is! But actually, the levitical priesthood is done away, and we are all priests in Christ Jesus. In fact, all of these tithes have been done away as part of the civil and ceremonial law of ancient Israel. We are instead left with a weightier principle: "Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver" (II Cor. 9:6–7).
I pray, Kyle, that your list was not intended to be a complete list of the tithes commanded in Scripture. There are almost too many to list. Some of the important ones you missed include:
Genesis 14
Genesis 28
Leviticus 27
and
2 Chronicles 31
What do all of these tithes have in common (including the ones that you listed)? The intended recipients of the tithes were the priests and other religious leaders ordained by God to lead His covenant people in worship to Himself.
And it is silly to suggest that the tithes you list in Deuteronomy are invalid simply because "we do not travel to Jerusalem once a year (imagine paying the tithe solely to feast!) and we do not live in towns in ancient Israel that are made up entirely of members of the church."
