The Lorenzo Snow 1899 Tax the Income 10% TITHING CHANGE...
D&C 119 Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Far West, Missouri, 8 July 1838, in answer to his supplication: “O Lord! Show unto thy servant how much thou requirest of the properties of thy people for a tithing” (History of the Church, 3:44).
1–5, The Saints are to pay their surplus property and then give, as tithing, one-tenth of their interest annually;
6–7, Such a course will sanctify the land of Zion.
(Joseph Smith 1838 Tithing Only the Bishop Storehouse pay 10% to the Lord's Storehouse...)
("THE UNITED ORDER" Book by OGDEN KRAUT.)
"The Saints are to pay their surplus property and then give, as tithing, one-tenth of their interest annually; (Once a year); THE POOR DID NOT PAY! ONCE A YEAR THE BISHOP STOREHOUSE GAVE 10% SURPLUS TO THE CHURCH HEADQUARTERS = PRESIDING BISHOP STOREHOUSE)
1 Verily, thus saith the Lord, I require all their surplus property to be put into the hands of the bishop of my church in Zion, 2 For the building of mine house, and for the laying of the foundation of Zion and for the priesthood, and for the debts of the Presidency of my Church. 3 And this shall be the beginning of the tithing of my people. 4 And after that, those who have thus been tithed shall pay one-tenth of all their interest annually (Once a year); and this shall be a standing law unto them forever, for my holy priesthood, saith the Lord.
5 Verily I say unto you, it shall come to pass that all those who gather unto the land of Zion shall be tithed of their surplus properties, and shall observe this law, or they shall not be found worthy to abide among you.
6 And I say unto you, if my people observe not this law, to keep it holy, and by this law sanctify the land of Zion unto me, that my statutes and my judgments may be kept thereon, that it may be most holy, behold, verily I say unto you, it shall not be a land of Zion unto you. 7 And this shall be an ensample unto all the stakes of Zion. Even so. Amen." (D&C 119)
GOD NEVER CHANGES: MORMON 9: 9-10; 19.
"For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing? And now, if ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing, then have ye imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not a God of miracles. 19 And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles."

Mormon can’t use Tithing to delay back Taxes, court rules
- SALT LAKE TRIBUNE - Mar 18, 2013 -
A U.S. tax court recently ruled that Mormon tithing is not a "necessary" expense, but rather a voluntary contribution.
That’s not, of course, how the petitioner, George Thompson, an LDS businessman and temple worker in Manhattan, sees it. Thompson argued that the tax court was taking away his religious freedom.
The legal exchange even included dueling Bible scriptures, with Thompson throwing out several verses in Malachi, which talk about "rob[bing]" God by not offering tithes, while the Internal Revenue Service responded with Jesus’ statement in Matthew to "render therefore to Caesar" that which is Caesar’s…the IRS said that was the church’s decision, not the government’s (to become a state 501c3 church)…In an interesting point, however, Mormon blogger Sam Brunson notes that the LDS Church’s official Handbook says members who refuse to pay their taxes cannot have temple recommends or hold callings of "principal responsibility."

"For thus saith the LORD,
Ye have sold yourselves for nought (IRS 501c3 Church, 14th Amendment citizen, Birth Certificate, Marriage Licence etc... SOLD YOUR BIRTH RIGHT LIKE ESAU DID...);
and
ye shall be redeemed without (Caesar's) money."
Isaiah 52:3
MORMON CHAPTER 8 -- "Behold, I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing... O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God?"
