I guess my church is a FREEWILL GIVING church because its not forced. In fact we preach FREEWILL is what God has gave us. Now if they want to go heaven God demands tithing.....

Give 1, one, uno, single verse in the NT where Jesus, Paul or anyone else tells a NT church or saint that they owe God 10% or else they will go to hell. Heck, give a verse in the true NT era (post gospels) that even talks about tithing in the present tense.

What is the point of posting a list of places that are not Apostolic by ANY measure in this board over "tithing." Really? smh

Tithing money is for the continuation of the labor of God.

The people in the book of acts even sold their houses to give all the money to the Apostles, I am sure selling a home is way more than the tithe.

The Apostles even collected money from some churches to give to other poor churches.

Show me where you spend your money and I will show you what is your God.

Jesus said clearly, where your treasure is, there is your heart.
If your treasure is in this world, this is where your heart is.

No Apostolic church would commit financial suicide in order to support a strange new doctrine.

The tithe was established from before the law, during the law and even after the law.

That very true, but it is also a non sequitur. That is very true morally, but has no bearing on the validity of the tithing doctrine. No one has or would argue that one should not give to the church and give to those in need. The issue as always is whether such giving should be tied to the tithe.

I see no text in your post where God demands a tithe of money.
