[stmatthew]

As far as a person not paying tithes and offerings into the local church they attend, IMHO they would be what God spoke about when he stated that some were robbers and thieves. If the local church is good enough to feed your sorry carcass, then it is good enough to receive of your financial blessings so that it can continue to feed your sorry carcass. To withhold finances from where you dine spiritually is thievery, plain and simple.
