It seems tithing is part of your whole view.

Any way no matter, giving is about the heart, a cheerful giver, not about "giving til hurts" like some preachers like to preach.

Hi Undergrace, Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount let our giving be in secret and our Father in Heaven will reward us, this is how I view my giving and it is not only by cash that we can give of course. I love to give but I do not appreciate someone telling me how much I should give.

Giving to the Needy: Matthew6:1-4
1) “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2) “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3) But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4) so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Remember our parents taught us, "it is better to give than receive", is that in the bible...I think not but I will check my concordance....:)

Psalm50:10
for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.

It does not get any plainer..........Our righteous works have ZERO to do with Salvation!

Berean Study Bible
He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

Berean Literal Bible
He saved us, not by works in righteousness that we did, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

Hebrews 9:27-28, “And as it awaits men to die once, and after this the judgment, so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to those waiting for Him, unto salvation.”

Matt 24:12-13, “And because of the increase in lawlessness, the love of many shall become cold. But he who shall have endured to the end shall be saved.”

You can post matthew 24 a million times out of context to push a lie all you want and it will not change the fact that it is not about salvation...your dogma is false pal!

Matthew 10:22, “And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”

James 1:12, "Blessed is the man who does endure trial, for when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Master has promised to those who love Him."

Mat 25:23, “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.”

Blah blah blah....works do not save nor determine one's salvation which is a current possession....maybe that is why you do not possess it yet...you don't believe, but rather post law abiding drivel.....!

Yes new Program did a Lot of strange stuff to Old Posts.

If I was on any OLD Post qouting my favorite Bible Verse, here is what it looks like when THIS NEW PROGRAM GETS A HOLD OF IT:

Titus 2:13 (HCSB)
[SUP]13[SUP] while we wait for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Then on that thread I made for posting music we like from YouTube, the VIDEOS disappeared leaving only that YouTube address where I got the Video from such as this:

Native American singers.

[video=youtube;NoBBgYnsO-E]

But on then NEW PROGRAM it is Normal:

Here is one of my favorite from Emmy Kosgei, from Kenya:
