DU: CC, tithing is in the Bible. Maybe You should read it before complaining about a Biblical practice...
Just saying

By golly Delph, it sure is, right there in Leviticus:

One tenth of all your income is Mine, and it is holy unto Me. Lev.27:30

Problem is, Leviticus was not written to us, it was written for the israelites.

Now, if you want to go cherry-picking laws out of Leviticus and following them, that's a pretty good one.

I personally would choose that over the constant slaughtering of animals. My gosh, it must have been a bloodbath. The first 9 or 10 chapters are about animal sacrifices.

And telling my teen-age daughter she had to saty in seclusion every time she had her period. Yikes, that would be a struggle. Hard to finish school too.

Be sure to go over all the food restrictions, the handling of dead bodies, the treatment of skin diseases and discharges.

If you are a man with a skin discharge and you touch the WII remote, it has to be destroyed. Really, it's in there.

And don’t forget it wasn’t just the 10%. The Jewish tithe also included many other offerings that went far above the 10%.

I am glad I am not bound by the Law. I give freely and as God leads me to, not 10% because my bishop told me to or to get a ‘temple recommend’.

If you are going to follow part of the law, you need to follow ALL of the Law and that is impossible.

So was the Bible... I guess this explains why antis seem to have no problem with bearing false witness...

BTW, I am a descendant of Abraham with the genealogy to prove it.

Really? they talk about the Wii? Well it is a prophetic book you know, now what does it say about X-box 360...

(You do know that Mormons have a newer updated law of health called the Work of wisdom, right?)

I also assume you know they Law of moses was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, right? Tithing was not a mosaic law, Abraham followed it, so it was not fulfilled, besides the early Christians followed it too.

I have heard some Ex-Mormons talk of "giving themselves a 10% raise", I figure they just sold their inheritance for a mess of pottage (book of Jasher sheds a lot of light on this BTW)

IMHO Regardless of what denomination you are, all Bible followers should be paying tithing to their church.
