Re: Tithe-vs-Paying Your Bills
What do I think?
I think "tithe" as it is practiced by many today is a bogus doctrine. It is not a required "payment" to be a Christian nor to win Gods' favor.
Having said that, I think anyone can give a tenth. It may not be to a "pastor" or even a church, but people are changed when they help others expecting nothing in return. This is very true when the "giving" is to help sustain and further the cause of the gospel.
Giving is a good thing, and even when it hurts, it is a character building discipline.
