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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wii, clay pot, same difference, LOL!

How would you know?

So your opinion on the matter is final?

You mean "Word" of wisdonm, of course. Got it right here: Word of Wisdom

I have a news flash - the part about meat being used sparingly is pretty dang funny. If you broke a levitical law you had to make a sin offering of a slaughtered animal. That would be ironic .

Priest: OK next! Gimme the ox. What's the sin it's covering?

Mormon penitant: I had seconds at the BBQ. And I drank a six pack of Dr. Pepper

Oh guys. Get a load of THIS claim. ROFLMAO

Qoute from the "Word of Wisdom" (Mormon dietary laws that supposedly replace the Levitical dietary laws):

"The flesh “of beasts and of the fowls of the air,” which is “to be used sparingly” (see D&C 89:12-13)"

In case one doesn't live in Utah, Dutch oven cooking is a state passion. Utah actually has an official state cooking pot, the Dutch Oven. Cookoffs are more spirited competitions around here than the Super Bowl. You actually have to qualify to get into one of the big ones.

Oh, and let's not even get started on how the entire state shuts down for the opening of elk season.

You can pay your tithing all day long to your church. I give all, my everything, to my Lord and His Church - it is ALL His!!

Epic fail. While it was part of the Abrahamic covenant, it is considered part of the law (as was sacrifice).

Early Christians DID NOT PRACTICE TITHING. They either lived communally or gave as they were led (as Paul teaches). There is no mention of tithing in the NEW Testament.

Here is a good link on the subject. It would serve you well to read it:

http://www.gotquestions.org/tithing-Christian.html

The bible is written to all Christians even if we are not bound by the Law of Moses. Christians are NOT to tithe but to give as we are led, and BTW, that more often than not is more than just the 10%. Also, who says we need to give to a church? We need to give to the LORD, at certain times I have been led to give to ministries rather than a church so I have. It is all God’s money and afa ex-mo’s go - the Christian ones I know are much more generous since they have been freed from the law the LDS church puts forth.
