Another point on tithing is that the operation of a church facility the same as a temple back in those days requires either the proper goods (some used to tithe by giving of supplies needed i.e. wood, material for the drapes etc) and the priests needed to be cared for since this was their full time job. The temples had no chairs because the priests were continually working (or supposed to be) all the while they were in the temple. We are to support our facilities w/funds for electric, water, permits etc. as well as full time pastors. How is that done if people don't tithe?

Also remember we are giving unto the Lord the same as if you were putting it into His hands. What happens to the tithe once it leaves our hands we give it with the proper motivation in our hearts is between those who receive it and God.
