There is nothing to debate about the tithe because it was an issue already settled in the Old Testament.
Nobody debated tithes or offerings in the New Testament for the simple reason that it was already well established.
Stop your dishonestyand simply say "I do not want to give".

Flame, per your comment to Rudy of the tithe was established in the ot and is still in effect, and yet somehow the nt writers failed to record any explaination of it, when opertunity was given...please explain based off of that ot establishment, who all involved in Kingdom ministry in the new covenant(visiting fatherless and widows, nursing home ministries, playing the guitar on the platform, church secretary, house church eldership, bible quizzing quizmasters, free store ministries, and the 100's of other royal priesthood ministries, WHO receives tithes now, who cannot receive tithes now, and use your ot establishment to prove it. And while you're at it, explain to the brother based(using scripture) on it scripture where all those folks having a trade like silversmiths and tent makers paid tithe, and also explain if tithe can now be paid w agriculture instead of money, or it needs to be money.
Since that was left out in Acts, and yet it was all established, please detail it all out for us. Explain to us how it all is suppose to go...and offer scriptural explanation to us simple minded gentiles.
