It never stops. They are getting increasingly creative with manipulation.

It’s sad how so may people view God as some sort of slot machine that will always give an increase over what you put in.
I was 23 years old when I was saved. I attended a Independent Fundamental Baptist church for years after salvation. I was taught to tithe 10% off my gross and I was taught that giving is anything over 10%. For years, I followed this teaching because I wanted to please God. I never wanted the money blessings etc… I did not want to anger God. When I look back to those days, I see myself fearing God for the wrong reason and I see myself trying to please God with money.
When I stated studying the OT tithe I was amazed by what I found in the Word of God. I vowed never to tithe. I give as the Lord leads me to give.
It’s a shame how so may pastor’s blindly follow this man-made tradition called the 10% tithe. It’s sinful how many manipulate people into thinking that they are commanded to give a tithe.
I really hate how the beautiful story of healing and redemption in the book of Malachi is thrown away in favor of twisted it to support a tithe. Those preaching a 10% tithe should ponder Malachi a bit more along with doing a study on the OT tithe.

David you should know that you are only hurting yourself when you don’t tithe. Do you think God gets anything from your tithe? Do you really think he needs it? No, of course not. It is only the acknowledgment of His blessing of life that he requires. If God’s will is that a church (for example) should grow, whether or not you tithe will not affect that growth. God will find someone else to give. All that happens is that you, unfortunately, will miss out on the blessing He’s waiting to give to you. Yes, if you can not give for the right reasons, than don’t. But it is completely biblical to say that tithing is something we should do. Jesus said to the Pharisees in Matt. 23:23, “…you should tithe, yes, but you should not leave undone the more important things” (NLT). The NIV says, “…you should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.” Besides, tithing is a form of faith that one expresses towards God, putting into practice one’s love for Him. Whether the leader of your church is manipulative or not makes no difference. That is between him and God, and tithing is between God and you, so don’t be concerned about what is done with your money. God will bless you for your faithfulness. No, it’s not required for salvation, nor is it required to live a Christian life, but it is something that everyone will feel repercussions of, either good or bad, in the next life.
I for one do not believe that every preacher,pastor etc. Is ignorant regarding tithing.They are not all “blind.” Many of them have to much to lose to ever admit that they are wrong. God never started a system whereby one person is subsidized by the Body.Locally or otherwise,while that Body goes lacking or without. No person ever is higher than Jesus. You don’t see him subsidized by anyone. He alone was the supply for the apostles needs. And he PAID TAXES! Remember the coin in the mouth of the fish? The true “Church” is not a organization run like a business but a life breathing,life giving organ-ism.i suggest the reading of Pagan Christianity? by Frank Viola. By and large the chuch has been following the doctrines of men for the past 500 years. But be careful because reading this book is not for the faint of heart.
Yeah, very interesting. Tithing was a command given under the law of Moses to ISRAEL ONLY.
