Pay attention to what was written, not what you want to have been
written.

>Why anyone would  question tithing is beyond me

So, where did I question tithing??

>it has been used in The Church since before my memory. 

That means about zip.  Many things have been used in The Church since
before your memory.  And a bunch of those come from non-Biblical
sources.  Long time acceptance doesn't make it right; it makes it old.

Again, when/where did I state tithing was wrong?  If you want to get
into proper giving of tithes and offerings we can.  You may not like the
results, but we can discuss the NT implications of what is proper.

Why is it that when one of your beliefs is questioned, the questioner is
implied to be rebelious?

>You might even start your own church???

Nah, I don't have the patience for it.

I wasn't going to say anything, but as I've stated before (think it was
on H-F, may not have been): saying doesn't make it so; if God annoints
it, you won't have to tell people what you are it will be evident by
your ministry
