God doesn't want a tenth; He wants everything. We must learn to serve Him with ALL, nothing more, nothing less. I believe you're arguing the point because you don't tithe and have hidden things in your tent.
As a pastor, I have seen this in folks and everyone who holds back the tithe has alterior motives within. Ananias and Saphira are still a part of the church today. Please check your heart. Money will bind you if you're not careful.
Give all and be set free.

No I will not sell all, have you? My guess is your not homeless, so you probably haven't. I have a family and kids and homeless and cold is not something I'm interested in.
The tithe debate must be answered by scripture and scripture alone. Accusations and assumptions are prersumptous and dangerous.
I have no problem with tithes as a guide but all this going to hell over it stuff is great error.
I usually don't get personal on forums and like to stay on topic, buy since you said I might have hidden things in my tent, I will be say that if you teache tithes you not what the scriptures say on the subject nor given any unbias study towards.
I have tithed for years even taught it to new converts, but when I took a closer look at I discovered there is many erroneous assumptions and misintepretations of the tithe doctrine.
Ananias had nothing to do with tithes or offerings but LYING about what they sold it for, just another twist on scripture regarding tithes/offerings. Even peter it was in there power to give what they wanted.
BTW Elder nothing personal here nor am I offended, so post away with out fear of offending me, I'll do the same.
