Bible Question: How is giving money to the church Building Fund tithing? We have a deacon in our Church who only gives money to the building fund and says that's tithing. He stated the reason for this is because he doesn't won't a portion of his money to go to the conference in which our church is a member. He says he has a right to do this. |
Bible Answer: Hi pbp, Lionheart has given you an excelent answer. When we give our tithe to God it is not our's to say where the money goes. If you give money an designate it to go to a building fund then it is an offering specified for the building fund... an offering and not the tithe. Since this man is a deacon, and obviously has a problem with the funding of this conference this should probably best be handeled internaly in accordance with the by-laws of the Church doctrine. P.S. be careful money is a tough subject and it may be wise to let God deal with this. in Christ love, Joel Way |
