BDF Noob Question: What is this "tithing" that everyone keeps talking about, and why are they going absolutely insane about it?

Tithing is giving 10% of your income to God's work. It is a form of trusting God to provide for you even though you give Him 10%.

It is not mandatory, but it "tends" to be a mark of spiritual maturity. You can be spiritual without it, but God wants us to honor him with every part of our lives. This is just another way to worship Him.

Also it "sanctifies" your work. Not everyone is called to be full time ministers. But, by giving 10% (or more) of everything we receive, we turn our work into a ministry.
 
Hi BL: My mother was complaining like that one time and grandma happen to be visiting and overheard her and replied, it only gets worse(he,he).

In OT times, tithing was more or less synonymous to giving some of your food (most often crops I think, but maybe also animals?) for a common storage. In the OT it was mandatory.

i.e:
Malachi 3;10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it

In modern days, it is carried on by giving money to the Church.

Was that a guess? Remember that infamous thread where the virgin female requested men PM her to talk about sexual matters? I was going to tell you that our two main antagonists from that thread both showed up in another thread yesterday and the day before to slam on me some more. I was wondering if they are chasing you around as well...
 
Tithing was to support the priesthood, who were the Levites teaching the law,
though Abraham offered tithes to God long before the law was given in regard to this.
 
They probably are..lol.. I've forgotten who the antagonists were, as well as the thread name and forum..lol
