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.
No. You're not the boss of me.
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.
