@clouddancer38 You dont have to be a Christian to understand importance of giving and how a church can utilize it for the good. The problem is that God never said give the 10% of money but rather he spoke to farmers and ranchers to do that. Jesus and his disciples never tithe nor did they teach on it cause it was never Gods command and when Jesus mentioned anything on it, it was reffering to agriculture tithes and yes there was money back than gold and silver so dont say there wasnt any.

@DERBENJ You bring out some truth with this statement but being free from the law requires additional clarification. From the proper perspective the old testment which dealt with the sacrificing of animals for sin was replaced by the blood of Yahshua (Jesus) identifying the new testament. Please don't forget that sin is the breaking of the law I John 3:4 meaning we must not confuse the law of sacrifice and the law of obedience (the Most High's commandments). Peace!

@sislexi1 You should read "The impossible voyage of Noah's Ark" by Robert A. Moore which clearly describes why this tale is fictional. Also, were you saying that Christ freed you from the 'Old Testament' law?

Interesting. When the church began it began on the street and got so big they had to manage it, put deacons in to manage the affairs including finances, widows and distribution.

If people stopped tithing they would have to give properly and Jesus makes it clear that giving (or anythign else) must surpass that of the OT. 10% is such a measly sum anyway. So who's game to put more than they have ever put into the offerring next week? No one I bet. Tithing is easier and cheaper.

@DERBENJ true, but you ain't have to call anyone slow. lol

Indeed Christ freed us from the law. This does not relate to tithing/giving offerings. Tithing and giving offerings is before the law which came through Moses. These practices were established way before Moses: Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Cain and Able, Noah after the ark, and Abraham and Melchezidek, just to name a few examples. What Malachi directed toward the Israelites should be taken in context, as well as applied to our own lives based on the princliple it teaches.

I just wondering what would happen that people stop to tithe?!!!

It would be very interesting & revolucionary. What would all the preachers do when they would have no big churches. They would go on street, right?!! Where people are.
