I am a tither at my church and in the past I would tithe from my "net" amount; however, I have decided to tithe from my "gross" amount starting this year.

Please share any comments, experiences, etc?

Thanks!

BTW,
In the past, I have heard some people say tithe from the gross amount and others would say from the net amount.
 



tithe from your gross...the gov't. et.al, take theirs off the top, why give God his from what's left? He comes first, right? My .02 cents. :angel2:
 
I used to tithe on the net like you did but, last Jan. I decided to tithe off the gross - I'm blessed. Good move & God Bless! :tup:

The Divine Power of GOD at work. Whatever you could give just let it be from the heart. He knows.
It works. On 2 Sundays ago, I had a rough week and was not able to give my usual tithe. So I did the next best thing and gave more than 10% of what I had. Since then I've been blessed financially a couple of times from places I least expect(i.e. family, friends, even my job) He already knew that I needed these financial blessings. and they are continuously entering into my wallet.
GOD is so awesome. :flippy: :flippy:
 
Thanks everyone for your replies. I really apppreciate it. When the devil try to intervene with my giving I read the chapter below.

Malachi, Chapter 3

8: Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
9: Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

And when you get strong enough in your thithing, read this.

Lev 27:31-31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

It teaches that if you do not pay your tithe, i.e. skip a payment. You have a late fee. Not heavily used because most have issues with just paying the tithe.

Thanks for sharing.

You are right about the last part. My pastor used to say, "if everyone in the church tithed we would not have a need for all these fish and chicken dinners."

Here's a good article on tithing. This is a touching subject to some.

The question must be: ?What does the Bible say TO CHRISTIANS about financial giving?? Why? Because what God says to Christians about financial giving is different than what He said to the Jews of the Old Testament about it.

:bowdown:

This applies to other issues as well.
 
Few Questions:

What was the Origin of tithing?

Did Tithing include more than Income?

Is EVERYTHING God says to the Jews of the Old Testament applicable
to Christians today?

What does fulfill mean?

Was tithing for the Levites to give to the Levitical priest hood for the building of the temple?

Are there any modern day Levites?

Why do people who think they ?tithe? not follow ALL of the Old Testament laws?

good questions
 



What do these Scriptures mean?

Matt 23:23
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Rom 3:20-24
20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
21 But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.
22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.


Leviticus 27:34 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away
 
The article Jag Voice gave us the link to tells the truth. So often people follow what they have been taught and never look into things for themselves. The day I decided that I would no longer ignore 2 Corinthians 8, 9 was the day I realized that tithing was not meant for New Covenant Christians.

While there are many ministers/teachers/etc., that are purposely misleading people in respects to tithing I think there are more of them doing it unknowingly thank knowingly. Many don't have the ability to read, hear and understand scripture and are only teaching what they have been taught. Long ago, an old man told me that when you read the book called the Bible you need to read with an open mind. Makes all the sense in the world to me now.
 
Why is Jesus referred to as the perfect sacrifice?

Many don?t even know the purpose of the New Testament
All this talk about gross and net income, late fees etc.
Scripture does prove Scripture

Ever wonder why If the Old Testament laws apply to us today,
Why the other hundreds of Old Testament laws are not preached, stressed, followed etc.

Can someone define FULFILL, that is what Jesus said he did to the Law.

Oh and what does a tenth of ?ALL? mean?
 
The power comes from the Holt Spirit, and the authorty comes from the Word of God. It is scriptually mandated, and those who do not tithe are robbing God, according to the Scriptures.

Tithing is not about money. Tithing is about obedience to God's Word.

Remember, God never ask anything of us until we have first been blessed and given more than we can ever repay.

The OT only set the example of giving - but we are told to exceed the Pharasees and Scribes, meaning they were "keepers" of the law, meaning since the OT said 10% they gave only what was required. To exceed, mean go beyond 10%. If "gross" is $100.00, you owe god $10.00 to exceed means to give $10.00 plus {$11.00, 12.00 etc}
