Bible Question: I have a question about titheing that I need help with.I cant find anywhere in the bible that it says that you have to give your tithe to the church but it does say to God the only place similar is when the Church began and everyone sold all they had to give out among everyone. So I guess I am wondering cant titheing be just giving money to someone in need does it have to be to the church? |
Bible Answer: Reference Malachi 3:8,9,10,11 Where Gods word says if you do not pay tithes to the storehouse or where you are spiritually fed that you are a robber. He promises to bless you and rebuke Satan in your affairs when you obey his word. Some people say that that was an old testament law but I have tried it myself for many many years and God has never let me go hungry. He has met all my needs because I was faithful to him. Giving to the poor is something every christian should do aside from tithing. Tithing is only to go to the church where you go and are spiritually fed. God is awesome and His word works everytime just like he promised. Sometimes it is hard to let go of that 10 per cent but once you get started you will be surprised how far the 90 per cent will stretch. I love paying tithes. |
