The Roman Catholic Church even admits their inventing of the tithe. The early church did not tithe. Those preachers who declare tithing as scriptural for the Church are frauding God's people.

If one does not believe me, look at the Catholic Encyclopedia. The online version speaks rather openly about how the RCC invented the tithe doctrine, and how the early church gave out of their heart, not of tithing.

And Al Gore admits he invented the internet
