Ender Hypersonic August 5, 2011 Share August 5, 2011 If the congregation is pressuring you on tithing, I seriously think it's time to look for another church with less emphasis on tithing, and more on the preaching on salvation and the 2 most important commandments. There are many places to worship, no need to go to the most hip one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph22 Turbocharged August 5, 2011 Share August 5, 2011 you give what you can afford. No such thing as mandatory 10%, etc....... as long as your heart and conscience is pure and you live your life as a good christian/human, you are already halfway der Yap.

Bro,in theology sense, that could means alot of things. It depends on how one interpret it. i would prefer to suggest that prayers, thanksgiving, petitions, attending Mass, giving praise, stand up for mercy and compassion etc, and of course tithe could be one of them but definitely not the main one. My Catholic faith would wants me to think it that way.....cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novicej Neutral Newbie August 5, 2011 Share August 5, 2011 What does the Bible say about Christian tithing? 1.1KShare Christian tithing Question: "What does the Bible say about Christian tithing?" Answer: Many Christians struggle with the issue of tithing. In some churches tithing is over-emphasized. At the same time, many Christians refuse to submit to the biblical exhortations about making offerings to the Lord. Tithing/giving is intended to be a joy and a blessing. Sadly, that is sometimes not the case in the church today. Tithing is an Old Testament concept. The tithe was a requirement of the law in which all Israelites were to give 10 percent of everything they earned and grew to the Tabernacle/Temple (Leviticus 27:30; Numbers 18:26; Deuteronomy 14:24; 2 Chronicles 31:5). In fact, the Old Testament Law required multiple tithes which would have pushed the total to around 23.3 percent, not the 10 percent which is generally considered the tithe amount today. Some understand the Old Testament tithe as a method of taxation to provide for the needs of the priests and Levites in the sacrificial system. The New Testament nowhere commands, or even recommends, that Christians submit to a legalistic tithe system. Paul states that believers should set aside a portion of their income in order to support the church (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). The New Testament nowhere designates a percentage of income a person should set aside, but only says it is to be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
