"There is nothing in the passage that even hints at an obligation to tithe among Christians, rather, we shouldn’t lie to other Christians. Thus, I am still waiting, show me anywhere in the NT where Christians have an obligation to tithe. (Don’t waste too much time looking because it’s not there.)"

CC, you are engaging in a logical fallacy known as equivocation by equating hosepipe's statement that cheating on your tithes is a sin with the assumption that since the text of the NT does not contain a command to tithe that it is therefore not an obligation that leads to sin. Is it your position then, that only those obligations that are specifically enumerated in the text of the NT can be called a sin?

Aren't you simply putting yourself under a different type of the law, one that you apparently find in the NT?

I'm saying the ceremonial, dietary and other laws associated with the Jewish theocracy were abolished by Christ's death. Paul makes it clear that one should give as their conscience dictates and be a “happy giver”. He never imposes Jewish theocratic law on gentiles, including tithes; this was what the book of Galatians is all about. However, I can't think of a single Christian sin that isn't enumerated in the NT. It's pretty clear that there is no more obligation to tithe then there is to become circumcised.
