.Leviticus 27:30 "And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD.
This was Gods way of blessing his children. By entrusting a percentage of your income to the Lord he is able to multiply it and bless you. God is a multiplier, but he has to have something to work with. If your not going to entrust him with the tenth he commands us, then its hard for him to really bless you the way he wants too.
Is not tithing a sin? I don't know? A sin is not upholding the laws of God. A sin is to miss the mark. Many people, even theologians argue that because we are under a New Testament we are free from the law. In that being said, we may be free of the law, but its still a sin to kill someone, its still a sin to steal. I personally think it is a sin to withhold your tithe. Your not robbing God, Everything of the earth and all within it is already his. However your robbing yourself of his ability to bless you abundantly.
LUKE 6:38
Give and it shall be given back to you, a good measure, pressed down shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
2 CORINTHIANS 9:7
Each one must do just what is purposed in his heart. Not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
