Xriss: Read sorry STUDY Deut 14:22-29 and Deut 12:11-27 then post again if tithing is not part of Mosaic law, you may read the whole chapters or book of Deuteronomy. I believe "Deuteronomy" means something like second statement or repetition of the law.

TITHING IS DEFINITELY SCRIPTURAL BUT if u study the book of Deuteronomy then you will find that pastors today twist the "how" tithe should be paid and ask you to package money give it to them and not ask how it is used.....THIS IS FRAUD.

Tithing is meant to be given as food and drink not money....and this is to be eaten by all on the day of offering and the remaining kept in the church for the poor (ie the widows, fatherless, homeless and priests as long as they have no other businesses) that is why Malachi 3 says bring tithes so there will be food not money in God's house.

Also recall that the bible says he who gives to gives to the prophet gets a prophets reward......and he who gives to the poor lends to God himself (Prov 19:17).....thus the way to give your tithe to God is to give it to the poor not to your pastor.....

Jesus confirmed the above in Matt 25:40 and 45, when he said what you do to the "LEAST" of people is what you do to him, pls read this scripture from verse 31 to get a clearer picture. This is in line of law of tithing in Deuteronomy and why Jesus supported it.

Further to the aforementioned, study Acts 4:32-37, you will see that the church brought all they had to the apostles and the apostles shared it to those in need (the poor). This is also in line of the law of tithing in Deuteronomy.

THE BIG QUESTION NOW IS WHY DO PASTORS DO WHATEVER THEY LIKE WITH TITHES AND TELL YOU NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS?
If tithe is Gods money then the Bible should determine how it is used but IF PASTORS DETERMINE HOW IT IS USED THEN YOU HAVE JUST GIVEN TO THE PASTOR AND NOT GOD.

It is pertinent to state that any form of giving is good but if you really want to give to God then STUDY his word and learn how to give to him (by giving to the poor) if you wanna give to your pastor there is no evil or wrong in that, in fact it is good to give to your pastor. But any pastor that collects tithe in the name of God and uses it the way he like is a thief and a fraud.
