To make a pledge of any kind is to declare war against nature;
for a pledge is a chain that is always clanking and reminding the wearer of it
that he is not a free man.

Proverbs 22:26 Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts.
(1) Abraham never tithed on his own personal property or livestock.
(2) Jacob wouldn’t tithe until God blessed him first.
(3) Only Levite priests could collect tithes, and there are no Levite priests today.
(4) Only food products from the land were tithable.
(5) Money was never a tithable commodity.
(6) Christian converts were never asked to tithe anything to the Church.
(7) Tithing in the Church first appears centuries after completion of the Bible.A majority of evangelical leaders believe that the Bible does not require
Christians to tithe, according to a survey released by the National Association of Evangelicals
