Subject: Can you please explain tithing? |
Bible Note: I believe Malachi 3:8-12 might explain if tithe is commanded. 8 “ Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘ In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation. 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “ If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. 11 “ And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the LORD of hosts; 12 And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,” Says the LORD of hosts. I'm not sure about the quantum but I think there are lot of mentions about one tenth in the bible though. There is also a question if the one tenth is net or gross of ones income. In the end its one belief if he wants to pay or not. Even if another man says that it is not a command, no one can judge if he does not want to pay. Its between him and God. Not for us to say. I believe the holy spirit will lead one to it one time or other. |
