Tithing was an OT law, and the law died with Jesus.

because their preachers like to eat high while often the kids of tithing families are going hungry.

If the Law is dead then how can we die by it to live unto Jesus Christ?
We are dead to the Law so that we can live unto Christ.
Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedec before the Law was given.

Jesus said we should tythe, without mentioning an "until my death" expiration date.
Luk 11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

I tithe because I want to honor God for blessing me.

Jesus didnt nullify the law, but fulfilled it (Matthew 5:17). He also said, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's (Matthew 22:21)."
CJ: If you are gonna say, "The Bible says.." then please give Scripture to back it up.

And Jesus' death is somehow supposed to pay the electric bill for the church???

It's not a law anymore but that doesnt mean it's not still good. You do not HAVE to do it but we still believe in blessings for offering in good faith.

Tithing is unbiblical, and those who teach it are false teachers. The Bible says to give if you want to, and if you don't want to, don't.
