I came to the same conclusion several years ago and you'd think that I denied the Trinity or something like that. It's nice to see others out here thinking along the same lines. I think once you break past the mindset that sets tithing in a special place, other stuff starts to fall like dominoes as well. I'd be interested in hearing how this has affected other areas of your theology as well - if that's something you want to share. Blessings! Jason,

I'm still letting it sink in (even after 3 months of thinking on it). I've talked to minsters at a church that encourage giving but don't expect a 10%. Instead they search for what a person feels lead to give. 5% or lower may be a challenge for some people, but sometimes that's where they start with this church (the ministers I know are not paid and get income from elsewhere, however they are raising funds for a church building). I don't make much money right now while I'm in school, but I give to my Compassion child every month. Why can't this be part of my tithe (sometimes this payment is even above my tithe on income) and yet I am expected to also pay 10% to my church. I'm not trying to get out of paying anything, I just don't know how to interperate the tithe. Should I view it a 10% of my income to further the kingdom of God or 10% to my local church, hands down, and then everything else being giving? I don't know. You have a very good arguement.
