Under New Testament law, Peter asked the members of the Church to give 100 percent, and some were killed by God for lying about withholding some.
This is not correct. First, in the story of Ananias and Sapphira, they were struck down not for withholding some but for lying (withholding some and representing it as the whole). Furthermore, Peter did not tell them to give 100%. http://bible-truths.com/tithing.html Give what you give joyfully. Do not let the exhortations of those who would build multi million dollar super sanctuaries financed by the banks and have their tongues bound by their debtors place you under the law.
