    Bruce S. Bertram (the guy with no initials after his name) from The Word of God Ministries and www.wholebible.com brings out some interesting points from the Word about tithe and money.
    You might be surprised to learn that tithing is not mentioned in the Apostolic Scriptures (NT) at all, except for a couple of sayings from Jesus concerning produce. It's a wonder then how and why the Laws have made it into the current Church practices. Last time we checked, they think the Law has been eliminated (especially the imaginary designation "ceremonial" laws), except for the 10... no wait make that nine (skip the Sabbath)...er, no make that eight (graven images such as a crucifix are okay) commandments. Logically, there should be nothing of tithing in the Church, because tithing is part of the ceremonial law, not the moral law.
    So considering that the tithe is closely associated with the ceremonial Law, and considering that the Church has summarily declared that the ceremonial Laws are null and void, why then has the concept of tithing been taught and encouraged? This is kind of a problem, isn't it? Please understand, it's not so much the presence of the tithe we are questioning, but the absence of the Law. Could it be that this is such a convenient way for a Church leader to make money that he or she finds it acceptable to contrive an excuse to continue this practice even though in their view the Law has been eliminated? Hmm, I wonder.
