Tithing is indeed a Jewish law, how many Jewish laws apply to Gentile Christians? Then again, Paul made tithing a Christian law, because religions need money to survive, like any human endeavor.
Jesus gave us a parable about that------- all the teachers--tithed--a little old lady put in two small coins( out of the heart) ---Jesus said what she gave had more value than all the tithes put together-----
There is no tithing law, now--those who seek it are these-2Cor 11:12-15) teachers of darkness. RUN AWAY.
Anyone who really knows Jesus--knows tithing is not in effect anymore---Jesus gave us a parable about that---all the teachers gave their tithe--a little old woman put in two small coins( from her heart)--Jesus said what she gave was more valuable than all the tithes combined--so no we are not under the tithe---teachers of darkness seek the tithe--these teachers-2Cor 11:12-15)---run away. Learn to believe Jesus over mens dogmas--John 4:22-24=Jehovah.
Doesn't one think it might be a sacralidge to use the Messiahs name as their handle?
Wow, great answer and reference. I've always wondered about tithing myself. Thanks' for the scripture references. Some of these Pastors are turning the church into casinos by making you pay for a blessing. All their doing is pimping the members out of their money. Sad!

Yes I agree--they are ear ticklers, telling workers of iniquity--you are saved or born again--they have 0 clue in reality--just theory of words.
You just tell the priest; it is Paul who was the seed of the Antichrist and when this seed started flourishing into a tree with the Church and the priests; and now it is full bloomed and in fact modern Christianity is the Anti-Christ as it working against the teachings of Jesus.
No offense, but the fact that you posted this on the general Religion and Spirituality as opposed to the Christianity forum, tells me you have your mind made up about this situation. Maybe it was a mistake. With that said, I think you know what you need to do, but I would honestly be careful as to whose advice you take on here. There are a lot of people on here who are pretending to be supportive, but they are only supporting you because they see this as a slight against Christianity.

Thanks. I understand what you are saying. I am picking up the right grains to feed myself without neglecting the core vision of mercy and grace.

That's good. I have been through a few rough church experiences myself, but it's important to not let your adversary use that as a weapon against you. As people we are all flawed individuals, but we can rest in knowing that Christ is unchanging and is a solid rock. Your relationship with him, will help your through these times.

Actually a lot of us have seen these shyster clergymen before. No "pretending" to be supportive.
Lesson No 4 it has nothing to do with saving souls
My teachers, do not get paid--nor is a plate passed around. It is done out of love for Jehovah, Jesus and our fellow man.
