[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Protestant doctrine on tithing
All based on one verse in the old testament, where it talks about giving it to a levite priest
Also the general hypocrisy, judging and narrow mindedness[/quote]

We aren’t bound by the OT law anymore, so tithing is not required. But the Bible says we should give to the poor and be generous, so I guess that could be called tithing. Anything else about tithing is made up by the church probably.[/quote]
Yes, it is
I looked into church history. It was introduced into doctrine by US Evangelicals early last century. Not practiced before
Please don't claim that churches do not pressure members into practicing this[/quote]

Churches do pressure people to tithe and donate. I have heard bad stories about this. But a lot of churches I’ve been to are struggling to survive, and they need help. So I don’t just ignore their request to tithes as if it’s only motivated by greed, because a lot of times that’s not the case.[/quote]
