Bible Question: WHEN YOU TITHE, ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO TITHE FROM YOUR GROSS PAY OR NET PAY? |
Bible Answer: Personally I tithe from my NET, because I tithe from what I have, not from which the State taketh away. Then when I file my tax return, if I get a sum, back I tithe on that as well. I can't tithe I that which I haven't received. Now thats how I tithe. But we need to make a distinction between tithes and offerings. While I tithe 10 per-cent of my NET, I also give offerings occasionaly which excede what I have already given from my NET. We should not be limited by tithes only. Look in the following verse where tithes are distinguished as being something separate from offerings. Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? yet ye rob me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. |
