Interesting, since no where in the New Testament is a believer commanded to give 10% of anything.
The tithe in the Old Testament was actually three “tithes”, and amounted to 23% of your annual income.
I agree. There isn’t anywhere in the New Testament that I know of where we are commanded to give 10%. Zaccheus ended up promising to tithe 50%. And there are a number of scriptures that warns against borrowing. That makes one wonder what is worst, to not be tithing and remaining out of debt or to be tithing while in debt. Consumerism aside (which could be a legitimate argument), somehow I don’t believe God is pleased with us when we tithe using our MasterCard.
