Tithing -
05-21-2010, 03:46 AM
Tithing is an essential part of the church. The Bible says to give 10% of everything you earn. I try my hardest. What about all of you guys?
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
~ Revelation 21:8 (KJV)

Are you kidding me? They take it out of my paycheck on the gross. I don't even get to tithe net.
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

By putting money into A real church does not count as tithing as the money is not going towards God's work.
Therefore if you do not actually put money into a real life organization that is dedicated to helping change the people of the world into passionate followers of christ then you don't really tithe at all.

I'm a bit confused by that Jacob. I am sure that (insomuch as anyone knows The Mind of God) that God approves of Landover's Mission to bring His Word to the deluded and misguided masses who otherwise would never experience the Joy of Heaven.
Yes, it is sad that in this day and age, money is required, yet we live in a World of Sin and we must do all we can with the tools we have to hand.

If according to you Churches are not doing God's work, I wonder what you think it is that Churches do?
Freedom means voting for Donald Trump!
To most "Christians" The Bible is like a license agreement. They just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree". All those "Christians" will burn in Hell!

I have been informed that the State of South Dakota will be publishing a new publicity photo today so I need some information from my Brothers in Christ. As you can see the Lord has seen fit to reward me with a windfall, my question is that since this is a cash payout I was planning on reinvesting and collecting the interest. I have been offered a straight 5% guaranteed yearly return for the 5 years of a contract. That will be about $10 mil yearly. My question is should I tithe a one time payment to the Lord or increase his percentage on the investment plan with me? I was considering 50% tithe with the investment plan, my joo accountant says that would keep me at a negative status with the IRS and I would receive tax credits to be used at a later date.
I need to make a decision soon as I would like to get upgraded seating at the Stonefest 2010 church services.

Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Only 10%, you cheap bastard!
I tithe more than 60% of my before tax reported income. And I think I should give more but with fuel costs today, I really cannot afford to increase the donation. I think $858 (last years amount) certainly is going to butter the way for me to slip into Heaven and get a good place there. Thanks goodness I can write off my gifts to Landover. Last year, I paid zero taxes and got a $57M refund. America the Beautiful.

Brother Benedict,
Even though it seems quite nice, and you would be able to stow a small car and moped in the under-hold, appearances can be deceiving.
I am wondering if the prior owner is a cathlick as the interior seems ..well.. to have quite a spic "flavor" to it.
I am surprised that there are not concrete lions or gargoyles as hood ornaments, actually. Perhaps they removed that prior to putting it up for sale.
Is there anything else in the dealership that draws your eye?
You of course do need some "home-comforts" whilst on the road defending God's Word, but something less garrish would be better suited to a fine, upstanding gent such as yourself.
Please keep me updated.
YIC,
Sister Phebe.
There's Jesus here,
Just see what He offers me....
Down here my sins forgiven,
Up there a home in heaven
Praise God, That's the way for me!!

You own GE? er..... nevermind, my mind is travelling today.
In Canada I tithed 18% because that is the limit on tithing that the CRA puts on your income taxes (stupid liebrals). I have no idea with Seth, and we'll have to sit down with an accountant in Freehold to figure out what the best level is.

Who is this heathen who suggests a 10% tithe is an acceptable amount to give for the day to day running of the Church which you belong to. I mean if you tried to tip 10% at your favorite restaurant you would be served the spit special on your next visit.Jesus was nailed to a cross for your salvation but you offer him less than you give the doorman,shame.
this is why percentage is so much more important than actual amounts.If you hear of something that pulls at your heart then you give an amount above and beyond your tithe.
Mrs. P. I am so glad I did not rush into purchasing that RV. While it was new and rather costly I trust your womanly eye if you say gaudy, then gaudy it is. I do have my collected brochures and am anxious to hear your opinion on other models. You may be correct when you said I was on the road doing God's work and that $1.2 mil spent on that RV would cover a lot of bail and lawyers retainer for my protecting the rights of the yet born! You are wise beyond your chromosomes Mrs. P.

As always, secular unfortunately trumps Biblical law. If the those crazy frog canucks only let you tithe 18%, what can you do. You could move funds to the Caymans or Andorra (I do).

I am still leaning toward Guernsey Islands, nominally British but a freeport to the Aristocracy for 400 years. So much old money there, Europe would implode if they were forced to open their books. As I said Mr. Dick Cheney told me about it years ago when I was working at Haliburton. it was one of the company sponsored hunts, in West Africa. I was a foreman on the contract so It was a working vacation for me. I didn't mind toting the big man's gun around he shared so much wisdom with myself and the other staff that were there making sure everything went smooth for corporate. I mean a rhino hunt is a hard thing to organize.
