Bible Question: I know it is Biblical for an individual to tithe, but does the Bible say the Church should tithe on their budget or the income (tithe) they receive?? |
Bible Answer: Hello wwjd40, The New Testament never mandates a percentage be given by the church to any person or entity. To whom would the church give the tithe? I suppose one could say it should go to missions. My own church sends about 50 percent of our income to mission work, so I guess we're safe. :-) Steve |
