Comment on Must Tithes Be Given Only To Church? by EnnisP

Good point Benny but I have a couple of comments.

One, I am assuming you believe in tithing – giving ten percent of your adjusted income to God. I say “adjusted” because some of the tithe given in the OT covered expenses that our taxes go to today and because of that it is only fair to reduce the tithe by that amount. I wrote about that here. Since many people use the word “tithe” to refer to any offering of any amount, given regularly or not, it almost needs to be qualified.

Two, if you aren’t happy with the church you attend then maybe you should find a new one. Many churches are very effective at both evangelism and helping the needy.

And really, withholding the tithe means the church is doing the giving anyway and probably suffering for it.

Jesus never warned about neglecting to tithe, but He did warn in Matt 25 about neglecting the poor.
I look at out big fat white juggernaut church and the amount of money that goes into maintaining the status quo. .
Year after year, 100′s of thousands of dollars are given and frittered to not achieving very much.
People, take charge of your tithe to God and use it for Godly means instead of the wasteful, inefficient thing we call church.

Yea, Rob has a way of writing that is enjoyable to read and he writes about questions that have long been ignored. In Love Wins he opened the door to theologies that have been dismissed for a long time.

Thanks for the comments.
