Obeying God never leads to damnation. Only disobedience does.

I have no problem with instruction to tithe or be generous.
The question is not one spot without Jesus? Or, not one spot period?

I am glad you instruct to be generous. I hope you instruct a lot of more things like being sexually pure, etc. the point is that non of those insstructions has nothing to do with tithing. tithing is not about sex and has nothing to do at all with generossity. tithe is LAW.
I am sorry you desobey the Holy Spirit and instruct tithe which He did prohibit to teach and practice. Now i understand your lack of spiritual light.
All of God's commands are important, not just some.
Who has obeyed God? Let me give you a hint.
Romans 3
10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. 12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.”
Why is it that way? Because of Adam. This includes CrossReference, who thinks he is right because he does right. He doesn't. As shown in Romans 3.
Romans 5
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned
We are commanded by God to obey Him, which God would never ask us to do unless it were possible.

God did command you NOT to teach tithe, NOT to accept your brothers tithe, and NOT to tithe yourself.
Why do you disobey God: DO NOT TITHE FOR YOU WILL BE DAMMED.

What Christ actually said was:
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:35
To answer your question, it's going better all the time.
How about for you?

Amen, brother.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. John 14:12
If loving and having compassion one to another is works, then let me say yes... I am a worker. Love is the only thing that is real, because God is love, and God is the only thing that is real.
If you consider all the sins... they are all due to a lack of love for others, and because of a perverted love for one's self. They will all go to the grave for there is no life/love in them.

Amen.
And just as I said in the above post: If loving and having compassion one to another is works, then let me say yes... I am a worker. Love is the only thing that is real, because God is love, and God is the only thing that is real.

That's right. We do not have a cruel God, but instead God is love.
Correct, and God hasn't changed... the Law is about love. Love of God who is love and love of your neighbor also.

WRONG
the Law is about to obey either you like or not. the Law is not about love but about obligations and complusory.
in the oposite, if you love, then you will do the things that aare good, because you love, not for obligation.
by Law you are prohibited of killing. you dont kill becaause is prohibited.
by love you dont kill. you dont kill because you love.
No. For some reason you are against Law when Jesus said it is about love.

Jesus told us to love instead of keeping the Law.
Jesus never says that keeping the Law is by love.
Probably you are deeply interested in have christians to keep the Law of the tithe. Probably you dont care on keeping any other Law, but the Law of tithing.
