Proof that the Early Church never tithed
The Temple was standing simultaneously while the church existed during its first 37 years. The church began in 33 AD, and the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.
If the early church tithed, they would have brought crops and cattle to the priests of the Temple, not to the elders of their church.
They would have brought these to sustain the very people who crucified Jesus, to those who stoned Stephen. Isnt that ridiculous?
But the final blow is - if they so tithed, would they have been Jews, or Christians?
