The Deseret News article (apologies since it's been discussed a couple times already)
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865586381/Iffy-blessings-and-paying-tithing.html?pg=all:
“Give me back 1/10th of everything that is mine — that I have given to you” — and I will:
“Open…the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” The Lord will rain down so many blessings that there won’t be enough room in your “storehouse” to contain them, you will be blessed “to overflowing.”
So......God gives us everything......so we give a tenth back.....so he gives back "to overflowing"...and some of these blessings are material ("increase"), so are we supposed to then give back 1/10th again of what God gives us back....so that he can pour out more blessings.....ad nauseum?
It's like a frikkin' Abbot & Costello routine.
