Tithing is an Old Testament Legalism.
It sure is great for funding “Pastors” and “Church” buildings.
It’s benefit is Charitable Contribution for Tax returns.
Tithers and Churches(Non profit) will be in for a big surprise when IRS dis-allows Charitable.
God loves a cheerful giver. (Not a cheerful deducter.)
Give cheerfully, and let God (and God alone) keep track of your ‘contributions’).
Not to mention, recent IRS regulations regarding charitable donations now require further qualifications of the recipients, thereby removing a large percentage of actual charitable giving which may be recognized by the IRS.
It doesn’t mean the taxpayer hasn’t been tithing.
I give around 10%-sometimes I round up, sometimes I miss church and don’t give. But I always give cash-no longer write checks. Only God knows how much it is.
He also knows the times it gets spent on groceries, gas or non-essentials as well. I don’t hit the Old Testament law amount, nor do I follow the New Testament principle of giving even more than 10%, but I God knows my heart.

Non-sense. Jesus didn’t change the law. He said so.
If not for funding Pastors and Churches, what are you doing to help further the gospel.
God loves even sinners. Even those in government who view all money as their own and seek to stick it to people that give to causes they think "too religious"--unless those causes shut up and learn their place beneath the government that owns all money and grants rights.
