Tithing is a scam to fleece Christians and should be abolished

I am terribly sorry for allowing the time to run out again. This week has just been crazy.Response to Jesus and the Old Covenant:You are correct that Jesus came to fulfill the Old Law, as He had said, but He did not come to destroy it. Matthew 5:17: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.According to Oxford, the definition of fulfill is to: bring to completion. Again, Jesus "brought Moses law to completion", but that does not mean He cut it off. Jesus never said anything about not tithing, however. The beginning of TithingTithing is first mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 14, when Abraham gives Melchisidek, who we know is God behind skins, a tithe. Genesis 14: 18-20:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.So we know that tithing was first an act of the Gentiles, not the Jews. Abraham was a Gentile, not a Jew. The Jews originated from the twelve tribes of Israel, while the Gentiles are those who are NOT a Jew (if you are not a Jew, you are a Gentile. If you are a mix between Jew and Gentile, those were called Samaritians, but technically you are a Gentile, as the blood is still mixed). In Hebrews 7, we learn that Abraham gave a tenth of all to Melchisidek: Hebrews 7:1-21 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;After Abraham tithed Melchisidek, the Bible says that Abraham was blessed, the same way that people today who gives tithes are blessed. Response to Tithing being MandatoryI understand that you say that tithing is not mandatory. In a sense, you are correct. No one is forced to pay tithes. A true Christian, however, would give tithes to their church, as obedience is better than sacrifice. Without tithes, how will churches operate? If they have no money to pay for anything, how shall they operate? There were no scriptures to tell Abraham and Jacob to tithe, so why must there be scriptures straight from Jesus to justify tithing? I do not understand how you can call your self Chrstian and only believe the New Testament. The entire Bible agrees with itself. A true Christian would believe the WHOLE thing. Closing RemarksTithing should come from the heart. God gives people that desire to serve Him. I understand that some churches are a bunch a scams and take money for themself. I agree with you that preachers who keep on urging their congregations to tithe and base their entire ministry on money aren't true ministers of the gospel. I suggest that you find a church that is honest and genuine (including the Pastor) to attend. Then, you will be sure that your money will be going towards the correct place.
