All of our debts have been paid by Christ's blood at the cross. No more offerings or tithes must be made to secure His presence, His blessings, or removal of curses from us. When Jesus said, "It is finished", the "it" included tithing. Our debt is paid in full and we are no longer "robbing God". Our flesh need not be given because His flesh has fulfilled the requirements of the Law once and for all! Our only ongoing debt is to love one another as He has loved us. And now with His arm securely around us, He longs for us to walk with Him, secure in His love and favor. His Spirit (who lives in us because our bodies are His temple) will show us who needs His love today, and in what way.

oBlessings!
I just found this site and I am really being blessed by what I have read thus far.
In September, 2012, the church where we were members for 7 years had a "secret" meeting, and my husband and I were "voted out" of the membership of that church:
"Because of your relentless actions of the past four months and your UN-Christ like attitude and your public display of your disagreement with Scriptural tithing for Christians,...." (from an email which the church sent us on Sept. 25, 2012)
It was a secret meeting because we were not invited to defend our position.
I am so glad that we are not alone in our belief that the Bible has no command for the NT Christian to tithe. We got tired of being told we were "cursed" and that we were "robbing God" because we didn't tithe.
Thank you for this blog.
God bless,
Linda Robey
