What Does God Want?

It is true that God's requires tithes and offerings according to Malachi. But when you investigate what the word tithe actually means according to the land, language and literature of the Hebrew people's culture and scripture, it is not what churches teach. The tithe God counts on in the scripture is the tenth part of agricultural products and livestock. The tithe the institutional Church counts on is the tenth part of the paycheck in perpetuity. The edible tithe items are holy unto the Lord, the cash, which the Bible calls mammon is not holy unto the Lord. Money is deemed holy by traditions of men outside of scripture. When the original meaning of a word is changed in transliteration to support an idea to increase financial support for religious leaders and pastors it is because they could not find any scripture to prove that money is God's tithe. Of the forty-four references to tithe found in the Bible, only thirty-six speak of God’s commanded tithe. Only fourteen of the thirty-six verses where God’s commanded tithe is seen mentions the elements of God’s commanded tithe. Those fourteen verses reveal God’s commanded tithe to be agricultural…not monetary.
