Is the tithe for today?

The NT example would be to us to freely give above and beyond the 10 %, to bless based upon how God has blessed us, so those who are abuntly bless financially expected ti give much more!

 

Most of us are in some type of debt, so that is not really biblical!

 

I say that there is no law of the tithe given to the New Testament churches. The New Testament teaches cheerful giving "out of that which ye have (2 Corinthians 8:11; 9:7)" God accepts our gifts according to what we have, not according to what we do not have (2 Corinthians 8:12). 1 Corinthians 16:2 teaches us to give as God has prospered us, and we give as we purpose in our hearts (2 Corinthians 9:7).

 

You used a credit card - but you had (or still have) to pay that off. Whether you pay it all at once, or by monthly payment, you've reduced your ability to give freely. You've based your giving on what you have left over after spending on your carnal desires rather than needs, rather than your first fruits.

 

It is not just tithing with money. But doing it the right way with the right kind of heart and soul you see my friends!

 

No. You're not the boss of me.

 

No, tithing is not for the New Testament church. We are no longer under that law. God loves a cheerful giver. And 10% is a good guideline.

 

God did, as we are to give proportionally based upon how much he has blessed us with having!

 

I don't think he is judging you, was just suggesting that giving to God on a card might not be the smart way of doing it!

 

Good....

 

No 10% is not the standard. Giving generously out of what you have is the standard.
1 Cor 16:1-2
Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.

We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord.
2 Cor 8:1-3

So the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers living in Judea
Acts 11:28

If you have the ability to spend $500 on a toy, you have the ability to give to a church.
