1 | Tithing, Giving, Itemizing | Rom 13:1 | skccab | 199790 | ||
Shalom y'all, This question is prompted by another's post about tithing non-cash items (and an extremely generous gift, I might add). I had this question actually prior to her posting though. I'm getting ready to bless my congregation with a needed item, and I'm wondering how everyone reconciles tithing - cash or non-cash - with claiming these on tax returns? The deductions obviously are not biblical - so does claiming them detract from the gift or not? I've always thought that if you give something you just give it and that's the end of it. I've never done anything like this before so I'm just wondering. By what or who's lead are we following in doing this (deducting that is)? Cheri |

Greetings Sister! Good question :-) The first thing that came to my mind was Romans 13. Considering the governing authorities have by law allowed the deduction it would seem, at least in regards to the law of the land we are within our boundaries as a Christian. However, your thought on giving is an interesting one to consider in the matter. Looking forward to the discussion :-) Steve |

Shalom Steve, Be it known that I am of the opinion that we are not "bound" to tithe 10percent, but I do choose to do so. And if I give my 10pc then get some of it back at the end of the year, then I didn't tithe 10pc. And at the new year the cycle begins again. This is just really confusing for me. (In this area, I'm definitely a new born!!) This isn't an answer I need for 2007, but next year is what I've got on my mind. :-) I'll be interested to see what pops up in this discussion, Steve, also. I'm off to classes right now, catch you later. Thanks to all who can contribute some help! Cheri |
