[Elsie]

The sacred funds donated by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are an expression of faith, devotion and obedience to the biblical law of tithing and a desire to build Christ’s Church through living the two great commandments to love God and neighbor.

HMMMmmm…

2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

[Raymond Pamintuan]

And what does this have to do with obedience to God’s command to give tithes?

My church does not force me to give - I do it willingly because I desire to obey God.

If you do not want to obey God and emulate Abraham in giving tithes, that’s your prerogative.
