Well alrigh-tee then!

Obviously you are not scared of a curse...keep your money and do with as you please

But why be so angry and bitter against those who want to do as they believe?

Soften your heart, tithe some tenderness why dontcha?   

Ahm jes sayin

I was trying to win tithers over by sharing my testimony, as it is written...

1Cor 9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

I guess we can't win all the listeners.  I failed miserably.  But then again, Noah preached 120 years without getting one single convert.  We are called to be faithful, not successful.

Peace

Tithing is required.

Says who?  Can you give any scripture for this?

Uh oh..... here we go again! 

garyarnold, manna to you my brother , my spirit is so sick of hearing this false teaching on tithing, and the magical gifts it brings to the giver ....all part of the false teaching in the so called "word of faith" teachings, "name it and claim it","tithe and be prosperous"

There is no supernatural formula to our blessings from the Lord, He knows what we need, as a father knows what to give to his child , not because the child did something to deserve it , but because the Father loved his child unconditionally, and blessed us for our needs and just because He loves us....Not because we TITHED!!!

In the NT, we are supposed to give as Abraham and Jacob gave... AS WE PURPOSED IN OUR HEARTS, not because we have to, but because we want to.

But this NT principle has not gone away...

2Cor 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

That verse 6 is indeed and remains... a NT principle (and has nothing to do with the modern unbiblical definition of tithing).
