Tithes

[Monty]

10% of ones income donated to a church, because the Pastor usually makes you feel bad if you [dont give it]. Taken from the Old testament example of Israel giving the Levites 10% of [livestock] because Levi didnt get a land inheritence. The Early Church in Acts however NEVER gave [tithes], giving was free-will in the NT Church, The Roman Catholics re-introduced monatary tithes to finance their lavish lifestyles.
