That's nice. Here is where you introduce yourself. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.
I dont relly go to church. I just like the idea of Christian brotherhood and sharing. I would also love to meet a god fearing man sometime.
I do believe Mrs. Etheldreda asked what your favorite Bible verse is.
You don't attend Church you say? Why do you treat the LORD with such disrespect that you refuse to even worship or tithe a mere 10% of your earnings to Him?
To most "Christians" The Bible is like a license agreement. They just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree". All those "Christians" will burn in Hell! James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

What is he going to do with my earnings, and how am I going to give him my money? Does he take cash?
Do you have your father's permission to post here?
No, I guess I feel something is missing from my life. My father doesn't really care what I do and if I asked him permission to post here he would just say whatever or something. I hope to marry a man who gives me more direction and discipline.
The list goes on. Why are you so greedy that you resist tithing but a small fee to holy LORD who gave you life?
Even though you're a female and your place is tending to the household while preparing to marry a suitor, there is no reason for you to ideologically resist the necessity of tithing.

Thank you, but how can I give him something that already belongs to him?
"And zall 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. "
It is the Lord's already. Who am I to change that?
"Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. 23 rAnd thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and sthe firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. 24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; ortif the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee: 25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and ubind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: 26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul * desireth: and wthou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, 27 And xthe Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for yhe hath no part nor inheritance with thee. 28 zAt the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: 29 zAnd the Levite, (because yhe hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that athe Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest."
It says I should turn my earnings into money and use it for what my "soul lusteth after". I am cool with that. My soul does not lust after handing my money to some church fat cat. It also says I should be charitable to those who come within my gates. I am happy to do that.

You are a cherry picker if I've ever seen one. First of all, read between the lines instead of merely reading three words and thinking you can do as you please. In Deuteronomy 14:25-26, the verses as a whole unit tells us not to use our money for whatever our souls desire as you shallowly put it, but to use it where the "Lord thy God shall choose". In addition, it also tells us in line 26 that "Thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household."
Those two points are very specific and completely alter your foolish interpretation of this piece of scripture. The LORD instructs us to use our money within his own guidelines, which are highlighted through out scripture. Tithing is depicted as rejoicing before God.
Now you say you choose not to "hand your money to some church fat cat." I cannot fully blame you as there are many false sects of "Christianity" that are eager to capitalize on generosity and steal from people. The Landover Baptist Church and any group of True Christians™ know better than this. We strictly follow what we are instructed to do in the KJV without one small step out of line.
The short answer, though, is you can make a singular vow. "You give Jesus your live-stock, children, wives, houses and fields - and then you buy them back from Jesus' church. What a way to show your appreciation for the guy who died (temporarily) for YOUR sins!"
You'll find the Pastors' email linked at the bottom of this and every page. You can easily set up a payment system, and perhaps work out your Salvation Plan.
