  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If you have savings, then you have money. Why don't you tithe from that. You are giving to God when you tithe, not man. This is the mentality you should always have.
And those who give to God, He will open the storehouse unto them.

Why does God need money? When I tithe which I do if I can afford it then I give in the knowledge I am helping the church and the running of the church. How can a God possibly need our money??? Man yes, God no.

I think anyone who thinks they should never tithe at all should become a pastor. Then you will see things differently. How do you think a church gets built? How do you think the bills get payed? How do you think programs at the church are run? The pastor doesn't have access to some vault God made for them full of money. Our old pastor was married with two young kids and his yearly salary was $15,000. The rest went to the church to maintain

There is no obligation on you to tithe.

I'd say that, under the circumstances, if someone else gives you money for food or some other special purpose, you cannot use it for a different purpose--like church--without talking to them about it.


You are wrong God blesses those who tithe but especially those who tithe in hard times.


"Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on. Luke 21 1:4"
