But, as I have been pointing out in my Tithing Series, the OT Law of Tithing has to do with sacrifices, Levitical Priests and Temple rituals.

Those who propagate the Law of Tithing in the Dispensation of Grace (What a complete Oxymoron!!) must show us Scriptures where, number 1, Tithing is still in effect, and Number 2, Tithing was converted over to money including any financial (money) increase you receive.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO SCRIPTURAL BASIS FOR THIS!

THIS IS IN EFFECT A LIE THAT IS BEING FOISTED UPON THE NT BELIEVER.

Technically, anything you sell and profit from, 10% belongs to the Church, uh, I mean the Lord. The religious system says "the Lord" but they mean, THEIR ORGANIZATION.

I cannot be much plainer than that. Your giving is between you and the Lord and He has not put you on a PAYMENT schedule. If you are tithing, you are paying a RELIGIOUS TAX for being part of the Organization you joined. Usually when you join an organization, you are implicitly telling them that you will abide by their "rules". Be careful who you join yourself to.
