Where does it say that in scripture?If the whole tithe isn't brought into the storehouse therefore, the latter day outpouring of the Holy Spirit may never occur...

No where in the NT are we told to give our money to the church.I suggest that you give 100% of your next paycheck to the church then.
And actually, if you look at it even more closely, they were supposed to give their tithe only one out of every three years.At Bible College, I was taught OT by a converted Jew. If you want to know what that involves it means there was NOTHING that he did not know about the OT because he had knowledge of it as a Jew and as a Christian. He taught us that Jews were required to tithe 30% over the year, not 10%.
It is implied in Malachi 3:10, if you interpret the windows of heaven being spoken of there as being the latter rain of the Holy Spirit.Where does it say that in scripture?

The word tithing is in Luke 11:42, and Luke 11:42 is in the New Testament.
Question: as New Testament Christians, should we pass over judgment and the love of God?
If your answer is yes, then I question your sanity.
If your answer is no, then I would ask, why then is the other thing (tithing) also not valid for New Testament Christians?
For if Jesus spoke one thing to the scribes and Pharisees, and it is valid for New Testament Christians, then the fact that the other thing was spoken to the scribes and Pharisees does not make it invalid for New Testament Christians.
I beg to differ.
See 1 Corinthians 16, 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, Romans 15:26-27.
If these promises haven't worked for you, then I can only say that I think there must have been something wrong with your faith.
demonstrating that wisdom is hidden from the wise wadr. "Required" being the telling word thereAt Bible College, I was taught OT by a converted Jew.

“God was tested. Either God failed...” I’m still stuck on are we to test God? Not sure if either have already been posted.
Luke 4:12 Lexicon: And Jesus answered and said to him, "It is said, 'YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'"
Matthew 4:7 Lexicon: Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written, 'YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'"
the devil in temptation also tests.
God says, "Test me now in this."
The rule was that we are not supposed to test God; and Malachi 3 clearly has an exception to this rule.
It says in Luke 11:42 that we ought not to leave our tithing undone. Sorry but you have got that one wrong. He told the PHARISEES to not leave their tithing undone and not to forget to be kind to people which they were not.
Luk 11:42 You Pharisees are in for trouble! You give God a tenth of the spices from your gardens, such as mint and rue. But you cheat people, and you don't love God. You should be fair and kind to others and still give a tenth to God. (CEV)
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. (KJV)
But woe to you, Pharisees, for you pay tithes of the mint, and the rue, and every plant, and pass by the judgment and the love of God. It was right to do these things, but not to leave aside those. (LITERAL)
But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over judgment and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to leave the other undone. (MKJV)
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and mercy and the love of God. These you ought to have done without leaving the others undone. (NKJB)
'But woe to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting. (YLT)
Seven versions of the same verse and they all say the same thing. it is addressed to the Pharisees under OT law because Jesus did not want then to stop tithing of their substance but to ADD justice and mercy.
Now if that is not conclusive I don't know what is. To say that this applies to the NTC is drawing the longest bow possible and it is obvious the person is trying to make scripture fit into his theology rather than make their theology fit into scripture.
The word tithing is NOT in the New Testament. End of story.
you might note that one test is ego-building and the other is ego-destroying though, at least done right?“God was tested. Either God failed...” I’m still stuck on are we to test God? Not sure if either have already been posted.

who might "pharisees" be representing there i wonderAre you SURE that the bible says that Jesus directed this to the Pharisees?
I wonder if the power of assumption and blind dogmatism carries more weight than Scripture for some people!

How quickly you forget what you have just said!
I did so, and now you heap condemnation on me when the results arrive at having to say that God fails, or the false doctrine you espouse fails!
That's not an "interpretation"... that is pure fictional nonsense!
