I think tithing is on its own. There is also alms but I am not any expert on the others. Maybe someone knows the meaning of alms, offering, and giving. Definitions.Are we including "giving" or "offering" in this topic as well? Or just tithing, as in giving 10% as a rule, regardless of one's financial situation?
Don't know why I would limit anyone to 10 percent?you need to add one more choice:
-10% isn't enough
(Luk 6:38) Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
if you believe that the measure you use to give will be the measure used as you are given to, and if you can give with a 15% measure, why would you give with a 10% measure instead?
I agree with him. When you think that God might do that with you it makes you think you can't afford not to.

That question comes up,Are we including "giving" or "offering" in this topic as well? Or just tithing, as in giving 10% as a rule, regardless of one's financial situation?
I think dedicated, my word, means no matter what, you tithe. It is a part of your life.Is there a difference between answering "yes" and answering "dedicated to tithing"?
I think the pastor made a good point with mathew 23:23In Matthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42, Jesus is describing the actions of the hypocrites under the old Covenant. The Church begins at Calvary (or Pentecost-your choice) and since then 'tithing (a tenth) is never mentioned, yet God loves a cheerful and free giver.
This is interesting. The last thread it seems there were more nays to whether you should tithe.
All kinds of excuses.
So far I don't think anyone has objected.
Seemed like one guy kept coming back almost everyday with a new argument why not to tithe, lol.

I did not know the word tithe meant 10 percent. I didn't feel I should put a number on it as it is between the person and God what they give. I can't see that anyone is debating and the topic appears to be coming to a close.tithe means 10%; but you didn't list a choice for 'more than the tithe (more than 10%)' in your initial survey
if memory serves me well, according to the rules for the 'Requests For Christian Advice' forum, debate isn't allowed; and advisors should only respond to the requestor that started the thread - maybe you should post this poll in another forum where debate is allowed - i think you'll then get more of the responses you expected
I guess if the folks that were so against the need to tithe come forward I will have to move it to another location.tithe means 10%; but you didn't list a choice for 'more than the tithe (more than 10%)' in your initial survey

There was a tithing thread not long ago, I can't find it. There were pro's and con's.
The biggest argument against was that it is in the OT only.
One of the ministers I watch on occasion was discussing it today. He said:
It is in the NT....Mathew 23:23.
It was a good thread so maybe those against tithing would like to reply to this added info?
Matthew 23:23 New International Version (NIV)
23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
