Arguments Against Tithing Has a Long History

As I researched tithing, I was shocked when I discovered that people have rejected monetary tithing for centuries. And yet the practice continues as if it was always an accepted practice. Although monetary tithing was birth in the time of Charlemagne and Constantine, it never became fully monetary until the Holy Roman Catholic Church wrote laws demanding money as the only legal tithe. And when a person really studies the scriptures, it is evident that their were many occupations in the Bible who were not required to tithe. Here is a short list of occupations that are on the Do Not Pay Tithe List: Artists, carpenters, doctors, merchants, field laborers, foremen, priests, tent maker, hair cutters, construction workers, engravers, bakers, inn keepers, chefs, and boat builders. And let me this clear that when the legal tithers (livestock herdsman and crop growers) paid their tithe food tithe, they were not allowed to pay any form of money as a tithe if they sold or bartered any of their livestock or agricultural produce, because it would have been a sin under the law. Money was never tithed during the 1, 400 years of the Mosaic Law.
