text: Christians are not living under the Hebrew economy.  Paul gave this instruction on giving:  
  
  "As long as the readiness is there, a man is acceptable with whatever he can afford;  never mind what is beyond his means.  This does not mean that to give relief to others you ought to make things difficult for yourselves; it is a question of balancing what happens to be your surplus now against their present need."
  
  The church has taught that  the tithes  should go to the storehouse, and they designated     the storehouse and percentages that are divided between the different levels.  No tithing is mentioned in the NT for Christians but the church has called those who do not tithe as robbing God.  This is producing guilt by coercion:  an apt method of ecclesiastical authorities.
