2 | Can you please explain tithing? | Deut 14:1 | sanctified06 | 163378 | ||
the bible says that you should give God 10percent of everything that you bring in. God can do more with the 10 then you can do with the 90. In then he says that he will return it back unto you 100 fold. This simply means if you get some money how ever much it is you automatically give 10. Lets say you get 200, you give God 20. You faithfully give it with the right motive without complaining and murmuring. See alot of people tithe but do it just because they have been taught to, but when you do it with the right motive. Then will God bless you. Don't give expecting to get. The law jof sowing and reeping goes along with this. If you sow a seed what happens you reap a harvest. Think about God is trying to bless you and all he ask for is 10percent. sanctified06 aka kisha |

hello kisha, Good points. Remember too that it is all that we are blessed with that we are to give back to God from. Not just our money, but our time and other resources. Regarding the return blessing, I have always thought of it like this. I do give "expecting" to get back because God promises this and He also says "test me" on this issue. I agree with you on the motivation issue. If my motivation for giving is because I am expecting something back, then I am giving with the wrong motivation. We should give because we are commanded, we are thankful, we recognize that we only have what God has provided in the first place, we want to see God's plan furthered, etc. But when God promises something, we should expect it, this includes blessings.

hello inmyheart, Your welcome. Your right. Someone being right and someone being wrong is not the point here. The truth is what is important. I know that the day will come when I see Him face to face and I believe that at that time I will find that I was wrong on many points. I have been corrected on this very forum which has helped to add to my understanding and knowledge. I am thankful for that. If there is anything I enjoy about debating these issues it is that 1). I learn more through my own searching 2). I learn from others, and 3). I hope to pass something on that's beneficial. I do have a rule for myself regarding discussing the teachings of God. I believe what I believe because I have come to believe it through my personal study and sitting under the teaching of others. I have enough experience to be able to look back and see that some beliefs I have had needed correcting as I learned more. I'm sure this will always be the case. But I am careful to reconsider my beliefs based only on the basis of scripture. Thanks for your kind comments, Jeff |
