According to the words of Mark Victor Hansen, writer of the insightful book "The Miracle of Tithing", tithing is the best kept prosperity secret in existence and it’s an old secret that works, yet has been virtually forgotten.

Tithing is a sensitive subject. Ministers, for the most part, are afraid to speak about tithing for fear of alienating their congregation. If a minister does talk about tithing some members feel that it is all that the minister talks about.

You need to comprehend this great principle which always opens life’s cornucopia of unlimited good, so you can experience it. To hear the principle of tithing (giving) is to comprehend it; to regularly and systematically tithe (give and subsequently receive) in ever increasing amounts, is to comprehend this phenomenal principle. Here are some frequently asked questions about tithing that you may have equally asked yourself and others oftentimes:
FAQ 1: What is the purpose of tithing? Why should I tithe?

Every individual’s purpose in tithing is to open up his/her awareness of universal laws. Tithing opens you, to you. You are an unlimited individual, deprived of a fuller, richer life partly because of lack of the tithing.

experience and expression in life. One needs to do it for him or herself (and family) to get into the fourth dimension (love and spiritual dimension of wholeness) that is unavailable to the unenlightened. Tithing will help you to truly know yourself. When doing this remember to rely on God’s ability to provide, not your human ability.
FAQ 2: What results can I expect if I tithe?

Tithing consciousness, at its best, allows an individual, family or business, to become successful, flourish and thrive. The Bible teaches that true prosperity includes having surplus money for your every need and desire, and peaking health to live happily, fully and confidently.
FAQ 3: Should I feel guilty about not tithing?

“Guilt” – Random House Dictionary defines as “a feeling of remorse or responsibility for some offense, crime or wrong, whether real or imagined.” Therefore, feelings of guilt are counter-productive to your own greater good. Guilt is a form of self-persecution and has no positive pay-off. If you have not tithed, don’t feel guilty about it. However, once you make your decision to tithe, stick to it!
FAQ 4: Is it true that most of the Bible’s heroes are men of wealth?

It is absolutely true that Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Jacob, David, Solomon and others, prospered greatly. God rewards individuals for wisely employing and maximizing their resources. God promises prosperity, and a long, full life to all who tithe.

In Chapter 13 of Genesis, it is recorded that Abraham was “very rich in cattle, silver, and in gold; thus fulfilling God’s earlier promise...’and I will bless you and make you great.’” Each of us can personalize and individualize God’s promise to Abraham as our own valuable and viable affirmation. In your deep meditations hear God tell you, “...and I will bless you and make you great.”

Isaac is described in the 26th chapter of Genesis, as having “possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and much wealth.” In the 29th Chapter of Chronicles, the narrative tells of David’s gifts toward the construction of the temple. These gifts included one million talents of gold, two million talents of silver, together with precious stones and pearls. Then the chiefs of the tribes matched the gifts with some of their own; five thousand talents of gold, twenty thousand talents of tin as well as brass and iron.

According to James Dean, Ph.D., author of The Keys That Unlock The Scriptures, a talent of gold at thirty-five dollars an ounce was worth $55,270.83, and a talent of silver based on $90.05 per ounce was worth $1,269.83. Now that is prosperity!

David truly understood how to use wealth wisely by “seeking first the Kingdom” and having all (good) things added unto him. David told Solomon: “And keep the charge of the Lord and walk in his ways and keep his statutes...that you may prosper in all that you do and succeed wherever you go.” Solomon obviously accepted this idea because he went on to become the richest man in the world at that time.

What all of this means is that when you recognize, and use the spiritual laws of universe, you will have unlimited good at your beck-and-call. As you control your thought patterns to produce plenty and abundance, they will do just that.
FAQ 5: Should I tithe in secret or in the open?

Tithing primarily is a private affair between you and God. Let your conscience be your guide as to whether you want to witness to others about tithing. If it makes you feel good to share your tithing experiences with spiritually awakened others, do it. If you talk about tithing before the spiritually unenlightened, they may ridicule you.

One of the richest men on earth, W. Clement Stone, has had a magnificent obsession of being America’s greatest philanthropist and tither. He does a tremendous amount of good and encourages others to do likewise. When Dr. Robert Schuller interviewed W. Clement Stone about how it feels to be really rich, Stone answered, “It gives me the power to do a great deal of good.” You have the ability to do as much or more. Please do it, I am cheering you on.

Remember, dear reader, that the ultimate reason for God's cornucopia of blessings in a man's life is for him to be a channel for blessing others.

Your article has further revealed the error behind this prosperity message.

Without even going into the merit and demerit of tithing, it's clear that the OP sees "tithing" as principle to success. So you can be an armed bandit, a harlot, defraud a country, corrupt, etc; it doesn't matter. What matters is that you tithe and prosperity will come rushing.

The next twist of these thinkers is that they then get a convert and the first practical thing taught them is tithing.

Tithing may be a law of success for the false church but it has no place in the true gathering of God's saints.
