1 | ten percent once every three years? | Prov 3:9 | T'oma | 142542 | ||
To answer your question, "Is there some other verse that says we are to give ten percent each year and all of it to the church or religious authorities?" - NO. Remember the story of the widow's mite? Jesus was hanging around the temple treasury and He watched this widow drop in a couple of coins. The "temple treasury" is interesting. The 13 different "trumpets" for receiving money allowed people to decide for themselves where the money was going to go. It was centuries after Christ that "offering plates" were passed around for "tithes" to support the work of the church. T'oma |

2 | ten percent once every three years? | Prov 3:9 | greentwiga | 142546 | ||
Interesting. The average giving is 3.33 percent (10 percent once every three years.) and maybe 2 percent goes to the church. Hmmm. Thanks | ||||||
3 | ten percent once every three years? | Prov 3:9 | Searcher56 | 142548 | ||
The average OT tithe was 22 percent per year .... There were three OT tithes 1) The general tithe paid to the Levites (Num 18:21), who even tithed to the preists (vs 26). 2) The sacred meal tithe, eaten before the Lord (Deu 12:6,7,17-19; 14:22-27) 3) The tri-annual tithe to the poor (Deu 14:28-29, 26:12-15) So that was 19 percent per year for two years and 27 percent every three years, average 22 percent. |
