Popular Israeli televangelist Pastor Benny Hinn has argued that tithing predates the laws given to Moses, saying the practice of giving to God can be traced to the earliest biblical accounts of humanity.
In a sermon shared on YouTube from 22:05, Hinn pointed to the story of Cain and Abel in Genesis chapter four, questioning how Adam’s sons knew to present offerings to God before the Mosaic Law was introduced.
Explaining his position, the preacher said, “Tithing did not begin with Moses. Tithing began with Adam. It goes way back to the beginning,” Hinn said.
He noted that Cain brought agricultural produce while Abel presented an offering from his flock, arguing that their actions showed that giving to God existed before the laws associated with Moses.
Questioning how the brothers understood the practice, Hinn asked, “How did they know what to do that?”
He also referred to the biblical account of Abraham and Melchizedek to support his argument that giving to God was not established solely through the Mosaic Law.
Emphasising what he believes giving represents, Hinn said, “It has nothing to do with Moses and the law. It has to do with honoring the Lord,” he said.
The televangelist further explained his view by recounting how he bought an expensive gold Montblanc pen as a gift for Jordan’s King Hussein after receiving advice to present something that would honour the monarch.
According to Hinn, the gesture helped open doors for him in Jordan, where he eventually preached the gospel at the Palace of Culture in Amman and had soldiers assigned to protect him.
Using the experience to illustrate his message, Hinn compared the honour shown to earthly leaders with the reverence believers should show God, urging Christians to view offerings as an expression of honour rather than simply a financial transaction.
