Ted Cruz Faces Questions About His Tithing History

Evangelicals and political opponents want to know why Cruz gave less than 1% of his income to charity between 2006 and 2010. “It’s hard to say God is first in your life if he’s last in your budget,” Huckabee tells BuzzFeed News.

According to personal tax returns released during his 2012 Senate bid, Cruz contributed less than 1% of his income to charity between 2006 and 2010 — a far cry from the 10% most evangelical leaders believe the Bible demands.

Can tithing ONLY be hard money? In my opinion tithing cam be of your time also. Ted fought the Veterans Flag Monument before the Supreme Court Pro-Bono.

Sounds like something I would hear from Jimmy and Tammy Faye Bakker. And for your love offering of $20 or more, he'll send you a prayer towel........

I know many, many people like me that do not report or claim on taxes what we give to charities. When the plate comes by on Sunday in church we just put a 20 in and forget about it. We used to give several hundred a year to the Boy Scouts and never reported it, same with MD as well as childrens hospitals and veterans.

So I guess next we will hear he doesn’t put the toilet seat down and drinks milk out of the carton.
