I was given the scripture in Deutaronomy 12:26 when I was 13 years old and if I am quoting it correctly it says to spend tithe money on wine and strong drink. The passage also seems to indicate that folks in the Old testament had control on where there tithes went. Some to the levites, some for a party, and some to the poor. This scripture is the most often neglected scripture conserning tithes and Offering.

I consider all my money and time to be from Jesus and I give it whereever I please. I give people gifts on their birthdays, I give to my family, Somtimes I buy Christian videos for my kids. I give to young dating couples to pay for marriage licences, and I have one child in The carribian through world vision. Additionally I somtimes give to the offering plate at churches.

Offering, Offering, Offering, is what christians should be giving not tithes. Offering was before tithes and exist now. The tithe died with the destruction of the Jewish temple.

I could go on but please keep spreading your word. Without cumpultion the church will change greatly. The leagalism of tithing robs people of freewill ministries. The buildings become the only place where giving takes place when freewill offering should be an everyday eveywhere place to do ministy.

Destroying tithes takes church ministry out of the box.
Offering Offering Please people become freewill givers!!!
