Bible Question:
Hi, Blessed be our Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and Greeting to all saints. My question is about tithes.I pay tithes on my income from work. What I want to know is do i pay tithes on borrowed money as I will be borrowing/loan money from my bank. I believe I have to pay tithes of this even if im going to be paying it back with interest. I have been battling with this and its left me confused and personally I believe you have to tithe of all profit or loan regards, gab regards, gab |
Bible Answer: gab: Borrowed money is not a gift and it is not income that is earned. When you borrow money you incur a debt that must be paid. The money is never really yours. It belongs to your creditor. If you use borrowed money in tithing, you are paying God with someone else's money. Should future circumstances make it impossible to pay back your loan, it would mean that your creditor, not you, did your tithing for you. Conclusion: You can give only what is yours to give, and what is yours to give is what is legally and righfully yours, not what actually belongs to someone else. This, mind you, is merely my view. Someone else may have a different, and better, answer to your inquiry. --Hank |
