When a pastor teaches on money tithing, the first person they mention is Abram and his tithe. To bolster their tithing position, they connect Abram’s single tithe event to Malachi and then tie up the theological loose ends using Matthew 23:23 to form a plausible impenetrable doctrine. They use eisegesis to string together tithe verses from different books of the Bible to strengthen the tithe argument, while hoping you won’t study to connect the dots and find out their teaching is out of context.
