would u tithe 10% in this situation?

Entertaining_Angels · Jun 5, 2006

We'd give far more than the 10%. There is no question about that. God has blessed so amazingly and what a blessing it would be to give back.

Side note for those who wouldn't give to their church, you must be in the wrong church. When you find the right church, you'll want to do all you can for them.

I would give 10%.

Mom to 5 · Jun 5, 2006

No question, 10% at the VERY least. I would LOVE to be able to do this!

philknowles · Jun 6, 2006

Of course. It's a commandment in the bible to give 10% of what you get. And not only that, but it was the Lord that made it happen and it's up to us to be faithful with it.

The biblical teaching on tithing is to tithe on your increase, that would fall under that definition, so yes i would tithe on it, 10% and possibly give an offering on top as I felt led by God.

oliveplants · Jun 6, 2006

When I was a teenager, I paid 10% of my earned income (allowance or money from job), and if I was given a gift I paid 50%.

Now that we have debts and projects, I'd give at least 10%, but probably not 50% unless it was a huge amount and I really didn't need that much of it.

ImaginaryVoyager · Jun 6, 2006

Well I don't care whether you call it a tithe, an offering or a blargleflumpt. I'd give give a significant amount of money to my church. I've greatly benefited from my church and funds there are tight right now, so yeah, the money would go to my church.

Yes.

It's easy to give away money you don't have; more difficult to give away money you do have.

And giving to God, in whatever way, shape, or form, shouldn't be on whether we've got some left over.

Just my thoughts.

CarolinaMom · Jun 7, 2006

Absolutely! I would tithe my 10% and would also sow a gift. God loves a cheerful giver! I mean, that's money you had no idea was coming right? So it's not really a loss then is it? God's only going to multiply it! Sure I'd like to reap what I sow. Isn't that the whole point of tithing? To give cheerfully, expecting a return on your deposit! His system never fails... And people pay money for financial advice... Hahaha!

I don't tithe because I expect a return on my money...I tithe because EVERYTHING that I have is God's...money and all...it's not mine. And the first part of that money, at the very least, I feel, should go back into the Kingdom...so, no...IMO, that's not the point of tithing. To me, it's like saying "God, I'll give this to you as long as you pay me back with interest."

WolfGate · Jun 8, 2006

No

In those circumstances (and given that we have very low debt and a solid budget) I'd give a lot more than 10%.

PassionateWorshipper · Jun 8, 2006

Yes, most definately. And we have!

Go and find a believer that you know has been struggling - and bless them.
Find the person at your church that is a servant but that is brushed off as a "nobody" ( no matter how wonderful your church may be - there are still those there that are overlooked and neglected ).
Do for them what you would want done for you if you were in their shoes.
God will bless you ministering to your brother and/or sister in Christ for doing so.
Yeshua said, " whatever you have done to the least of these, my brethren, you have done to me".
Go with God's leading and do it with a cheerful heart!

I would tithe 10% under the following conditions:

1. If I were a Hebrew with a Levite priesthood who had no money or property of their own.
2. If it were the third year.

The 10% tithe was spent on a feast for yourself, or things you wanted, two years out of three; it was only given to the priests in the third year.

Furthermore, it was a Hebrew practice.

As Christians, we are not under any such stricture.

My advice, if you have a large amount of unexpected money, is to find those friends or acquintences of yours who are closest to the line; paying overdraft fees and late fees. Give them some extra money to help them get out of debt and start on their way to financial stability.

How much? As much as you can.

MomBlessedBy2 · Jul 11, 2006

Yes, I would and will be doing that soon. We have some property we're selling and will be making a lot of money off of it. We pray daily for this property to sell as soon as possible so we can use that money to get out of debt. How can I pray each day and not give back? We will be giving at least 10% or more.

Absolutely! It's not mine to begin.

sf49erfan · Jul 12, 2006

We have given 10+% of our tax returns in the past. Not all to our church, but to mission based organizations, like Habitat for Humanity as well.
