I really don't have much to tithe. This is another reason why I like to give back by volunteering my time.

In a religious sense, no. I do not belong to any religious establishment.

100 % 10% of the time.

As religious as I am I'm very poor about tithing properly. I've been working on doing this. I was tithing for half of the year last year but I fell off it and I need to get back on it. I definatly would tithe if I made more money but thats still not an excuse. I do volunteer however.

Yes, I do.

Yes. Ten percent of all my earned wages.

No, its not in the New Testament. Its old law, fulfilled law.

yes

No, I give what I can as often as I can as the Bible says to give from the heart and willingly.

As a Christian is meant to under the New Covenant? Yes: I freely share the bounty of my inheritance in Christ (supernatural love and Grace) with everyone, especially those who need it most, and yes, the works its way out into financial matters: I freely share what I have, counting nothing as my own -- well, most of the time. As it is twisted, misinterpreted and corrupted in many modern Protestant churches? No: I don't give 10% of my income to a 501c chartered corporation that deliberately confuses itself with The Church (the body of all believers). Please read my article on this exact point at: http://x-cathedra.blogspot.com/

Yes, when I was a baby. But after my 12-year molars came in and I had my wisdom teeth pulled, it was pretty much worry-free from then on...

Yeah, I try. But then some months I don't so the real answer is no.

I don't and the few times that I actually bother to show up, I still don't tithe.

Yes, I give to the Open door mission, the Zen center, The FSF and several other places. It is all tax deductible so, I look at it as giving my money to organizations that matter vs the government who isn't fiscally solvent.

Yes I do the Bible is very clear on the issue as a Christian. Reference 1: 1 Corinthians 16 verse 1-2 "On that day of every week each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income.." Again, the apostle was speaking to the new age church so this applies to us. The apostle either did or didn't speak by the power of the Holy Spirit. Am I not right in saying that he did. So, the apostle must have been inspired by God to say this just as he said everything else under the anointing of God. The scripture here is clearly saying that we should set aside something before everything else as in today's modern age with much spending we should allow ourselves to give something each week according to the word of God. Reference 2: Leviticus 27 verse 30+: “And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s: it is holy unto the LORD.” The Biblical first fruits are what tithes are, the 1st portions that we take out of our income & offer in gratitude to God. All commands that are written in the Bible both in Old and new testament must be obeyed by the Christians, so this includes all the Biblical in the Old as well as the New testament (and the Old testament commands are not just the "10 commandments" but on a variety of issues such as sexual immorality, marriage, respect for parents & elders etc). (Jesus also said “If you love me, you will do as I command”). Jesus himself also said the "Heaven & Earth shall pass away but my word shall not pass away”, therefore time cannot erase the letters written in the laws both in the Old and New Testament and just because we are no longer under the law/condemnation is no excuse not to obey it. THEREFORE this would certainly include the command of giving 10 percent. Reference 3: 1 Corinthians 16 verse 2-3: “…..Each one of you should set aside a sum of money in proportion with his income” The Apostle Paul made it crystal clear that the tithe to the church should be in proportion with each individual’s income because there were people then just like today each earning very different amounts. The 10% would not be proportional to give £5 a week whilst earning £400 a week. He clearly wanted each earner, to give the right proportional amount. It would not be proportional to the salary of the week/month by giving less than ten percent. Of course it would not be wrong to give more than 10% which again is why he iterated the word “proportion” rather than “amount” or “offering”. Reference 4: Malachi 3: verse 6: “I the Lord God do not change …. “Will a man Rob God, Yes you Rob Me; in tithes and offerings, you are under a curse…Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse. Test me in this and see that I pour out so much blessings…”. This scripture is crystal clear when using the two important words “whole tithe”. God does not waste his words nor does God say anything in the Bible just to fill up the pages. He is saying that by not giving the full tithe which is clearly 10 percent you are robbing him and again he cannot bless you unless you give the full amount. Note: Here God does not give any special treatment to anyone whether they are priests, Jews, Kings, or Gentiles so he certainly would not overlook the case with us gentiles/or Jews.
