do u tithe when u go 2 church? if not u will not go 2 heaven u will go 2 hell. wot r u goin 2 do about it?

Answer 1

yes i tithe when i go to church, its mainly to help those and improve the church... but you won't go to heaven just for being a good person and doing good things... you go to heaven because your heart accept the Holy Spirit and the fact that Jesus Christ himself is truly the Son of God, who gaves His One and Only Son.... its not money that buys your way into heaven... its what your heart truly believes... and if you really believe that much, you want to help your church right? its sort of an obligation, but you don't HAVE to... its just makin a smart choice and being eager to sacrifice something that is so important in today's world... money.... what I'M going to do about it? well, i'm just gonna believe but still tithe.. its just the right thing to do, but you know you won't go to hell, just accept God and ask Jesus to take your life and do what He will... that's how you get to heaven, not by paying money... money doesn't mean ANYTHING to God, except for when you sacrifice it, because it shows you're willing to do anything for God and it honors God... that's all, you won't be damned, just realize what you're willing to sacrifice, may God bless you!!!

Answer 2

Tithing is 10% of your income. Whether you have $10 or $10,000 your first 10% should go to God. Now if you are poor, and I mean poor or you don't have a job, I was told that you put in an empty envelope but first you say a prayer to god like "Jesus, you know my situiation and I am doing all I can do, this week I have only myself to offer.". I know it sounds crazy but I have had to do this plenty of times. When I do have some money I will put some in.

Answer 3

Church preaches against the OT law, tithing is the OT law. The church is going to hell.

Answer 4

You are going to go to hell for defiling the English language.


Two points! Two votes!

BTW: What the heck are you talking about? I've never heard of ANYONE, even those that really push tithing, that believes you'll go to HELL over it.

Wowzers...

Answer 5

I agree with those who say that tithing is part of the Hebrew Law and that Christians are therefore not subject to the law.

In fact, Christians are held to a higher standard. Jesus said:

"If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." (Matthew 19:21, 23)

Perfect obedience to God means giving up all we have in this world for the gospel of Christ. None of us can live up to that standard. All we can do is do our best to be obedient to God (I myself have a ways to go when it comes to being a good steward with the material blessings God has given me) and rest secure in our faith that Christ's sacrifice has sanctified us and erased our imperfections.

Answer 6

Why would I want to go to a heaven run by a god who sends people to hell simply because they do not tithe?

Such a god would be evil, and should be avoided.

Answer 7

The rule depends on the demonination and the individual local church. It is NOT a requirement of Christianity in general in a strict sense but giving is the fruit of a Christian and is expected--of self if not in money. Ask your minister about your situation. No other answer is possible.

Answer 8

You are going to go to hell for defiling the English language.

Answer 9

I take from the collection plate, rather than put in. Will I get in trouble for tax evasion?

Answer 10

God Does Not Command Us to Give 10% or Any Fixed % of Our Salary or Property

Tithes were required by God from the Israelite farmers and ranchers (see Deuteronomy 14:22 and Leviticus 27:30). Tithes were agricultural produce and not money (and they had money back in those days). The tithes were used in the temple, for festivals and for helping the poor.

There were 3 tithes from some of the Israelites and a 4th from the Levites to the Levite priests.

1) The Levitical tithe required those who raised crops (not everyone and not all professions – just those who raised crops) to give 10% of that to the Levites. This tithe occurred 6 years out of the 7 year cycle. It also required those that raised 10 or more animals to give each tenth animal that passed under the rod to the Levites. If a person raised less than 10 animals, they were not required to tithe.

2) From what was given to them, the Levites in turn had to give a tenth of the very best to the priests.

3) The festival tithe required that those who raised crops or animals to set aside 10% for the annual festivals.

4) The Poor tithe occurred only in the 3rd year of the seven year cycle. This was set aside for the poor.

Now about Christians and tithing, God never established a set standard for Christians to give. The principle of 10% of earnings being required of believers is not taught in the Bible. Giving should be done out of freewill and love and sometimes God puts it in our hearts to give much more than 10% and it doesn’t have to be just money. We are to be led by the Holy Spirit. Giving should be done cheerfully from the heart (2 Corinthians 9:7) for the honour and glory of God, to help the needy (Hebrews 13:16, Acts 20:35, Matthew 25:35-45, Acts 6:1-4, 1 Timothy 5:1-16) and to support GENUINE Christian pastors and ministries who would use what is given to them for GODLY PURPOSES AND NOT FOR WORLDLY PURSUITS (1 Corinthians 9:7-14, 1 Timothy 5:17-18, Acts 2:44-45, 4:32-37, 1 Corinthians 16:1-3, 2 Corinthians 8:1-13, 1 Timothy 6:17-19).

Just as the animal sacrifices were replaced under the New Covenant by the great sacrifice of our wonderful Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 7:27) and circumcision was replaced by circumcision of the heart (Romans 2:29), Old Covenant tithing was replaced by giving cheerfully of what one (who is being led by the Holy Spirit, of course) has decided in their heart to give (2 Corinthians 9:7). Examples of what we can offer are: food, money, clothing, furniture and our service as Christians. We must use wisdom and make sure that the things we offer are needed. Some ministers use others' hard earned cash to embellish their churches and feed their worldly desires.

It’s clear that God never told us that we should be giving 10% (or any fixed %) of our salaries. Those who preach that Christians are to give 10% (or any fixed %) are wresting the Scriptures to conform to their belief at the expense of the truth. An individual may teach this false doctrine due to one or more of the following:

• Ignorance

• Fear of ridicule or disapproval of others who support this teaching

• Not wanting to admit what they always taught was wrong

• Love of money (1 Timothy 6:10)

Applying Old Testament practices in the New Testament is in essence, placing those who hear them under the bondage and curse of the Mosaic Law (Galatians Ch. 3).

If you’re teaching others that God commands this, no matter how good the intentions are, it’s a sin. It’s time to break free from the false doctrine of believers being required to give 10% (or any fixed %) of their earnings, and take a stand against it.

2 Corinthians 9:7
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH

Because mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.

If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:

"Dear Jesus,

I am a sinner.
I repent of my sins.
Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood;
come into my heart.
I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior.

Amen"
