If one does believe only our bodies is the temple, what house is Paul talking about here.

It would be mighty hard to say we can behave ourself within ourself.

Each Christian individually and all Christians collectively are the temples of the Holy Spirit. God does not dwell in temples made by hand.

Tithing was an Old Testament doctrine on crops and animals to support the piests, levites, and the poor.
The tithe was to be brought to Jerusalem to the Temple.
Since the destruction of the Temple and ending of the priesthood and sacrificial system tithing stopped.

Tithing of money or income was started by the Roman Catholic Church and has been carried on over into modern churches. Also the doctrine of papal (GS) infallibility, the idea that the priest/pastor holds the salvation of each church member in his hands, that leaving the church leads to hell, and the idea that water baptism washes away sins and is the birth of water. There have been quite a few Romish doctrines that have found their way into Oneness Pentecost.

Tithing started way before the law. The priniciple will never change! If I give a tenth, the LORD will indeed bless, good measure.
