I have written several blog posts about tithing. I am writing another one. In the mormon church, it is a requirement to give 10% of one's income to the church. In order to make to the mormon's highest heaven, a person must meet with their church leader (a bishop) every two years where he asks if they are giving this ten percent to the church (among other questions of worthiness) if they are not, they cannot enter into the mormon temple. If they are not allowed access into the temple, they will not be allowed access into heaven, according to mormon theology. Therefore, paying tithing is a requirement to get into heaven.
The only scripture in the Bible on tithing comes from the book of Malachi. However, Christians believe that the new law in the new testament did away with the old law in the old testament and therefore, they should no longer be under the requirement to pay tithing. The new testament says nothing about paying tithing.http://www.cultwatch.com/

Yes, yes, the mormon's have their own scripture sources, but are they compatible with the christian scriptures?
