Subject: Can you please explain tithing? |
Bible Note: Like I said, I don't tithe to be justified just as you say that my giving is a love offering and not tithe. But I wonder, does the difference really matter? Tithe or giving. Is it so important that my contribution must be classified either as tithe or giving? So if I consider the contibution as tithe, then I'm wrong because its the law and I won't be justified but if I say this is an offering , then I am justified? I fail to see the the reason for highlighting justification and the law - to tithe or give an offering. Is God going to say that oh, this is your tithe and that is your offering? Let's examine our own hearts. Have we given? Not classified as tithe but offering or do we hide behind this justification and law issue to satisfy ourselves NOT to give. To me I do not care two hoots what my contribution be called. But I suppose, if one really seek to use tithe as a compelling manner to give to the church, then I will not support that teaching. Neither have my Pastors taught this. Its always freewill. |
