Had a conversation with my pastor today. He believes tithing (the 10% principal in Malachi 3:10) is exclusively to the church where I am inclined to believe that is it giving to anything that is of God’s work and for His glory. What do you think?

What do you think?

Tithing is exclusively 10% to your church and outside the church is additional offering
Anything that is in His name works
It can be a mix and is 100% up to the giver
Fuck You!

The "bible" New Testament was written in the 15th century by a bunch of monarchs looking for ways to manage their vassals.

Monetary tithing is not "Christian", "biblical", or in honor of God.

1500s? Dude it was written starting 500ad. Maybe earlier but 500ad is top of my head re: New Testament

The old testament comes from oral tradition that was documented starting around 600-500 B.C. The Dead Sea Scrolls which generally represent the first written biblical reference works were produced around the 2nd century B.C.

But the new Testament was almost entirely produced between the 10-15th century A.D with the majority coming from about 6 authors in the mid 15th century....
