do you think churches should ask for ties?

In the Old Testament people gave 10%, of their crops as an offering. In the New Testament, I think it is in the book of Romans, says put away a portion as your tithes. 9According to what you can give)

Why ask?
They're already "tied" (II Corinthians 4:4)!

They can ask for tithes, but you do not have to give what they ask.
the law requiring tithing was part of an exclusive covenant between God and the nation of Israel. Exodus 19:3-8 Only the Israelites were bound by that law.
The Bible states categorically that the sacrificial death of Jesus, in 33 C.E., blotted out, or abolished, the Law and with it the “commandment to collect tithes.” Colossians 2:13, 14
the Bible also shows that Christ fulfilled the Law, and God brought it to an end; so Christians are not bound by its regulations.
They do not tithe, nor are they under obligation to give any other contribution of a specified amount or at a particular time.
Paul wrote to the Christian congregation in Corinth: Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion.
Christians are not under the Law covenant given to Israel. Thus, they are not obliged to give a set amount to God.

Hi Mike G. The proper way to spell the word is tithes. And to answer your question... YES. They have a right to ask. But no right to demand that you pay. That's something everyone has to decide for themselves.

No, and they shouldn't ask for suits either
