Tithing

This is a sad comment to a person that gives credit to the Lord for everything.


Baptist understand this, it's a core belief of the baptist.


I have no idea if it's reasonable, I don't personally know any of them. However, as far as part time employment I think you are talking about a preacher, not a pastor. If your pastor was only teaching then it's too much, but if He was a pastor that's a different story.

Where in all of my question to Green Eyed Lady do I take away the opportunity to praise G-d? Do you think that her husband would still be as blessed in his job if he were doing a terrible job? Come on, it's logical. He probably does stellar work because he wants to please his Master and his boss. Thus, he does a good job; furthermore, he gets a good raise. Where is my disdain in that statement?

Having a good job, the health to have a good job, the mind to work a good job, these are all from God.

Give all you want to give. Give with a cheerful heart. Just don't accept that there is some sort of G-dly recompense for doing so. Offerings are great, the tithe is irrelevant.
