Bible Answer: Dear Marbella - What a joy to have another new-born Christian on SBF. Please don't worry about your command of English. You'll do fine, and we'll help you in every way possible. Others on the Forum struggle with English too. Particularly me. You see, my handicap is that I live in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas where English is frequently spoken poorly and written very rarely. :-) ..... Now let's talk a little about this business of tithing. Tithing is a requirement in the Bible, but it is only a requirement of the law given to Israel All Israelites were to give ten per cent (that's what "tithe" means) of everything, of earnings and crops, to the Tabernacle or Temple. Please see Lev. 27:30; Num. 18:26; Deut. 14:24; 2 Chron. 31:5. ..... The New Testament does not specify the giving of a percentage of income. It says instead that the Christian should give "in keeping with his income" (1 Cor. 16:2). The Christian's guide to giving is laid down in the ninth chapter of 2 Corinthians. While I strongly recommend the reading and study of the entire chapter, here I will quote only 2 Cor. 9:7: "Each man must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." ...... My heart goes out to you in Christian love, young believer. Pray, study God's word, enter joyfully into the fellowship of the saints, and may your light so shine among men that they may see your good work and glorify your Father in heaven. That you may be blessed by this Forum and be a blessing to it is my prayer. Agape. --Hank |
