Hi! @ogoowinwer,
This is what the bible has to say about tithes.
"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". Malachi 3:10.
Please note why paying tithe. "that there may be food in my house"
Any other use with tithe....... I cant fight for God. Sometimes we put ourselves in the place of God, thats the problem. God is almighty. He can take care of his Church in his own way so why do i have to bother myself. He demands obedience to his word. Period. And total obedience to his word brings blessings. Please note: Tithing is different from alms giving.
My position is based on what I believe the bible says. I know some people who pay more that 10% out of their love for God. Who ever misuses tithe God will bring to judgement not me. For our God is a consuming FIRE. My take on some of these issues is we should tread with caution so we dont judge God's judgment for him. He is awesomely capable of taking care of Church. I am not a tithe collecting preacher though.
