I find it very hard to take seriously one who claims to be a Christian and who sprinkles his conversation with "frickin" this and "frickin" that. His conduct belies his Christian profession.

The tithe is an Old Testament law practice, found in two or three places in Scripture. If one reads them, one learns that, when a worshipper brought a tithe, he and his family got to eat a portion of it at the Tabernacle/Temple. Outside of historical references to the tithe, the New Testament never prescribes it. The instructions on giving are to give out of a grateful heart. If we are to tithe as a matter of law, we also should be sure that our clothing is not made out of two types of yarn or put tassels on the four corners of our clothing (Deuteronomy 22).
