Subject: do you pay tithe on loan money

Bible Note: Hi Chritian,

GOD Bless you.

I personally share your view as well. I regularly tithe with my personal income.

I pray to GOD to forgive me if any part of me by asking this question is hesitation(I belive GOD sees my heart that I just want wisdom in this situation.

I kind of asked posted this question twice. Here are the replies from the other posts

Answer: gab: Borrowed money is not a gift and it is not income that is earned. When you borrow money you incur a debt that must be paid. The money is never really yours. It belongs to your creditor. If you use borrowed money in tithing, you are paying God with someone else's money. Should future circumstances make it impossible to pay back your loan, it would mean that your creditor, not you, did your tithing for you. Conclusion: You can give only what is yours to give, and what is yours to give is what is legally and righfully yours, not what actually belongs to someone else. This, mind you, is merely my view. Someone else may have a different, and better, answer to your inquiry. --Hank

Thank you for the reply.

I would have assumed that because I got the loan that its an increase e.g i loaned 10k of the bank. shouldnt i be paying 10 percent of tithe from this increase(even if i will be paying it back) or should this be an offering if im not mistaken

Note: When you negotiate a loan, you don't increase your assets, you increase your liabilities and decrease your net worth. Think about it. You now have incurred the obligation not only to repay the loan but to pay interest on it as well. --Hank

Answer: Scripture states that we should tithe all our "gain."
Considering the fact that you are going to pay back a loan, it is not "gain."

A gift, or earned interest would be gain, but not something borrowed.

The very fact that you asked this question indicates that you are following the right path, that inner voice, the gut feeling, THE SPIRIT.

I'd say that you already had a good idea what the correct answer was. If so, learn to follow that Spirit, "walk in the Spirit." You will NEVER go wrong if you do.

God Bless
