Subject: Is 10 percent mandatory |
Bible Note: Johnny I think you misunderstood me. I said Abraham gave a tithe before there was a law. In other words he gave it willingly. I then talked about freely giving. I never said once we were under compulsion to give. If a pastor compels his flock to tithe he has the problem. One for which he will have to stand and answer for. That said I think very church attender has an obligation to support the church to which he attends. And I think ten percent is probably a good place to start. Your right a New Testament believer is not under any law that requires his giving, only a sense of paying his fair share. EdB |
