George Greene presents biblical proof demonstrating that God  never required Christians to keep the Old Testament law of tithing. George proves from the Bible that the tithing mentioned was not a command for Christians but rather a reflection of what was happening at the time the letter was written.  The Hebrew converts to Christianity were still attempting to keep parts of the Mosaic Law and the writer of Hebrews was trying to show them that '..Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant'.
