Subject: Tithing, Giving, Itemizing |
Bible Note: Shalom y'all, Thanks Steve and John for your input. Some things to chew on. Yes, John, I intend to tithe 10pc of the refund, and also use it for the gift I'm planning on giving. And I have only just this year (2008) begun to tithe earnings. I don't think, though, that I'll claim them in 2008. Just because the law says we can doesn't mean it's "right," only that it's legal in our land (though, PLEASE don't get me wrong, I'm NOT saying it's wrong!!). That's why I asked the question to begin with. You two helped answer that question, now it's just down to personal choices. Also, I have a whole year to study this out fruther, and get it figured out (and besides, I'm female - and females, even believers, may retain the perogative of changing our minds!). :-) Cheri |
