Why do Mormons believe the Bible promise of paying tithes with the promise of blessings so great so as to not have room enough to receive it making it totally useless?

Mormons, like many other religions, believe that, ultimately, everything belongs to God. Tithing is a way to show gratitude and acknowledgment that He is the provider. The phrase, "have no room to receive it" refers to how the reward for paying tithes is so great, that the receiver will be overwhelmed with blessings.

What is the relationship from god to Mormons?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God is the Father of our spirits and the creator of our bodies, therefore He is our Heavenly Father. They believe that God, our Heavenly Father, is concerned about us just as a father is concerned for his own children. Mormons are encouraged to have a personal relationship with God and to cultivate and nurture that relationship through prayer, worship, and scripture study. They believe that individuals may receive direct revelation from God. You can learn more about what Mormons believe at the "Related Links" below.

What you Mormons beleave?

I will list some of the absolute basics, and you can visit their official website (Mormon.org or click the link under "related links" below) if you want more information. -Mormons believe that God is the loving Father of our spirits, and that each individual is a beloved child of God. -Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of mankind. Because He came to earth to atone for our sins, all people can recieve salvation (return to live with God after death). -Mormons believe that the purpose of life is to become more like God by loving others and gaining knowledge. -Mormons believe God continues to reveal His will for the world through prophets, and that each individual may receive personal revelation and guidance from God to dictate their own lives. -Mormons believe that the Bible and Book of Mormon contain the word of God, and the words and revelations to modern church leaders are also studied. -Mormons believe that because God loves all people, all will have an opportunity to accept salvation through Jesus Christ. Those who do not receive this opportunity during their mortal lives will have an opportunity to do so after death.
How can I tell Mormons that I don't believe their teachings?
Just tell them! Mormons (especially Mormon missionaries) face rejection every single day (often people blatantly ignoring them or being rude or offensive), I promise they are used to it! Sure, it might upset them a bit, but two of the main tenets of Mormonism are agency (the right to choose for oneself) and revelation (the right to receive your own answer from God), so a good Mormon should respect your decision. If you don't believe what the Mormons have been teaching you, simply tell them that you are thankful for their time and willingness to teach you but that you don't agree with what they are saying. Explain that you don't want to continue being taught, but that you will contact them if you change your mind. Just focus on being kind and sincere, and they will be grateful for your honesty, rather than upset.
Do the mormon prohet is the only one speak to god?
No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) believe that each person should develop a personal relationship with God by studying scripture and speaking to God in prayer daily. Mormons believe that God will reveal His will and speak to individuals who earnestly seek Him. Mormons believe that their Church is lead by God, who reveals His will for the entire Church to a Prophet, just as in Biblical times. The Prophet receives revelation regarding churchwide issues, while individuals receive revelation from God to guide their individual lives.

Would a Mormons degree of belief in Jesus cause them to be ressurrected only to the degree in which they believe in Jesus since there are varying degrees of belief and not just believe or disbelieve?
Yes. If your belief is not strong enough then you will only be resurrected as much as you believe.Mormon View:No. Mormons believe that everyone, believers and non-believers, will be fully resurrected after the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Everyone who has ever lived will rise from the dead and their spirits will receive perfected bodies before the Final Judgement. The difference is in when they will be resurrected. It is believed that the most righteous will be resurrected first.
