Bible Question: will like to know what people think about tithing |
Bible Answer: Spider1777: Welcome to the Forum! You ask a good question. There is always plenty to say about giving. Do you think a tithe is 10 percent? In few churches do most people give 10 percent of their income. I believe I read somewhere that the avrage person gives less then 3 percent. Is it easier for say someone making 100,000.00 per year to give 10 percent over someone making minium wage? To whom would be giving the greater sacrifice? I personally think giving should NOT be allowed to be deducted from our income for taxes. If we are to do as Jesus sayed not to let the right and left hands not know what each is giving, then should our churches keep records of who gives what? Then there is the matter of pledge cards, is that Biblical? We are told to live by faith, is not the church to do the same? we give by cash and do not use any deduction for our church. We will not sign a pledge card, and our giving is between the Lord and us only. I know I am a strange bird, and this is not a popular view, but I believe it more Biblical than any other I have read yet. Think on this. justme |
