Where in the bible does it say that Jesus wants you to stay pooor?
The Holy Bibile has made it clear that the least we are to do is give one tenth of our increase annually. If we earn nothing we give nothing, if we earn a million we give 100,000 to God, or His representative on earth whomever you believe that to be. That does not preclude other offerings, Malachi specifically mentions “Tithes and offerings”. Certainly Tithing is the minimum. In this country by the time you pay tithes and taxes you are luck to have half your increase.
