I don't believe that teaching is for the NT church, but I believe this country was a much better place when we held them values. Many of those OT principles work very well. I don't think we should force anything on people the apostles didn't teach, but some here act like tithing didn't even come from the Bible.

By some of the tones you are setting it makes you sound hateful. Although you may disagree with someone on their stances concerning tithing last I heard we are free to make choices. No one is being made to tithe or not to tithe. If you walk out on God because you feel 10% is too steep, it doesn't matter if the teaching is correct or not because you have other problems. If you disagree with the tithe don't do it, but continue to walk with God and follow all the other apostolic teachings that is clearly defined.

Brother, how do you think tithing even got started in Christianity? It started by a bunch of dark age heretics trying to make a "principle" of tithing, using the O.T. as the basic pattern. It was only adopted in "principle" in the 6th century, but became a strict commandment of men by the 8th century.

This suggestion is just history repeating itself.


BTW...killing homosexuals is a O.T. command, do you practice that in "principle".


Looks to me that you guys would only like to see tithing established in "principle" here.
