Thirty years ago, my "instruction" about tithing included that if you give your 10%, you can take it off on your charitable contributions at the end of the tax year.
I also was told that you cannot outgive God when giving your
tithes and offerings. No mention of alms.....
While this is very true, I am of the belief that giving is between man and God. I further believe that God blesses because of our
faith that He will provide for his children, not because I gave a certain percentage of my income to the organized church system.
