Malachi 3:8 is the most-cited pro-tithe verse but is addressed to the nation of Israel under the Mosaic law, not to Christians

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 6) 00:01:36 – 00:03:08

Examining the primary Old Testament tithing passage used to support Christian tithing

Mike reads Malachi 3:8-10 ("Will a man rob God...") and argues the passage is addressed to the whole nation of Israel under the law, not universally to all people. The word "you" in the text does not mean it applies to everyone who reads it; the same logic would require Gentile Christians to make three pilgrimages to Jerusalem annually.
