Bible Question: As a NT church, new Christian is it that a tithe equals 10 percent of your gross or net income? I am confused on this issue. Could you please provide me with some scripture to help me with the whole plan of tithes. |
Bible Answer: Greetings emt2001 and welcome to the forum! Mal 3:10 says that we are to tithe 10 percent of our income. Our income is what we earn - before taxes. You are to tithe on your gross income. See also Deut 26:1-3; Prov 3:9-10 1Cor 9:13-14 for what tithes should be used for; 2Cor 9:6-8 for the way to tithe. Hope this helps! prayon |
