That’s about all it says in the new testament folks.. But the opinion of the 10% is just so controversial… I already pay the government over 10% in taxes… I understand the tithe back in the bible days given to the priests as a tax.
If that’s the case then anything I give a church or TV evangelist (oh my) then it is above and beyond the tithe…Correct?
I don’t want to do it out of duty…But CHEERFULLY
I believe that giving IS a spiritual principal…That pays well… If not now, then later, in “glory” as they say… Church Hymn Lingo 
It’s been a tough economy. Even worse now as I update this post. But if I got some faith how about throw a little money at it.. Do ya believe or not?

The argument against 2 Cor 9:7 is that it is in addition to the tithe.
I agree with you though. My site has over 150 articles at http://www.tithing-russkelly.com
