How Are Business People Meant To Calculate Their Tithes? by SubtleFRED(m): 7:21am On Feb 05, 2017
Now I don't want to start arguing on if tithing is right or wrong. The bible odered every Christian to give a tenth part of his or her land's produce and so I believe it is right to do so for every bible studies and obeying Christian. See Lev 27:30 TLB "A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord’s, and is holy".

Now if we are to give a tenth part of our land's produce to the Lord, does that means we are meant to give just a tenth part of our incomes alone? Imagine a trader who buys a good for 10,000 and sells at 15,000 and who is also a dedicated tithes. Would he just tithe from the 5,000naira income he made or from the entire 15,000.
Pls I need answers from the house to know I and some other businessmen have not been tithing wrong all these while.

Are you a genuine seeker of you just want to make mockery of Christianity?.


Whichever way, go and ask your pastor.

10% of the profits would be ideal. That is, in your example above, you give 10% of the 5,000.

wait, you bought goods @10k 'nd sold for 15k. Since you made 5k out of the business, your tithe should be 500 ... It doesn't necessarily mean you must give all you have.

If you give all of that 5k , then I can't see you grow in business. Rather give the 500, so when you invest bigger next time , you can sow bigger.

First of all i dont know what part of the Bible asked u to pay tithe... The Bible was very clear on tithe, u gather all ur earnings and take one tenth to a place he will show u and eat it...

Or convert it to money and buy what so ever ur soul lust after including alcohol... So i dont get ur questions... It's so clear..

Who are you to tell me what to do... Your counsel is not needed on this one.

Tithe is given as a sign of appreciation ... In genesis 14, when Abraham heard what had happened in Sodom and Gomorrah, and how his nephew had been held captive with his properties by king kedorlaomer .. He took 3hundred nd eighteen men to rescue the sodomites including lot his nephew and their possessions.

It was successful. when he came back, he brought a one tenth of all he had recovered before the king and priest Melchizedek as an appreciation for what God had done for him and he blessed him.
