No. You are misinformed on what tithing is depending on your income/wealth. In OT for example if you had to tithe on your animals you gave 1 out of 10 goats. But what if you had less than 10 new goats in the season, such as 8? You don't give 0.8 goats. You arent required to tithe. I suggest listening to a 2 part podcast on Restitutio website/channel that was recently posted on tithing by a guy who was deep into a church that required tithing. He explains it really well. I'm not against giving--but tithing is obsolete for what its purpose actually was for.

I am on baby step 2. And trying to decide on tithing. If we take 10% out at the beginning, we would be negative at the end of the month. There are a few small items we could cut out but the majority are our 4 walls, and debts that must be paid. Yes I realize some of our past debts are “wants” but I can’t change that now. I can only change going forward. I work for a Christian preschool and make very little money. I work a lot extra that I am not paid for. My husband also helps and works at our church each week. I help with I can with any of the events the church has. What is an acceptable amount to tithe if we can’t afford 10%? Or does that not matter? Our most recent sermon suggests a 90 challenge or just doing it and trusting that God will provide. It’s not that I don’t trust God but I need to be able to pay the bills.

In 2 Corinthians 8:11-13, it states to give what you have and not what you don't have. In 2 Corinthians 9:7, it states “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful giver”. The keyword is "compulsion". God does not curse people and loves the non-giver just as much as he loves the giver. IMO, you should give what you can afford that way you don't feel compelled to give. Giving to the church is not the only way to give to God. Your time is money.
@cgcloud9130 Жыл бұрын
@@GUYIN96706 definitely don’t “give” grudgingly or under compulsion, it’s the heart posture that God sees. But tithing is not the same as “giving” if that makes sense. The Tithe is what already belongs to God, we can’t “give” Him what already is His. The “giving” that the church in Corinth prepared was not Lords Tithe but a gift to the ministry fund and those that were being helped. Anything above the 10% is overflow aka giving because 90% is what you you own and therefore can give from the 90% “Give to Caesar what is Caesars and give to God what is Gods” The Tithe is the Lords It’s a trust issue with most Christians that are bothered by the Tithe. They spend more on groceries and entertainment than the Tithe and tip their servers more and don’t bat an eye. Once Holy Spirit brings you to the revelation of the 90% and the 10% you realize you will have 110% in your account and don’t know where it came from. 💯
