I got a job now but don't know how i will be paying my tithe. undecided

Please people answer me. embarassed
Should my tithe be 10% of my BASIC SALARY?
or
I have to add all my allowances like
my transport allowances
children allowances
medical allowances
inconvenience allowances and
basic allowances

then give 10% of the total.

Thanks for reading.

I think it is better to consult your bible to know the biblical definition of tithes and decide if it is applicable to your salary. Tithes is well defined and explained in deut 14:22-29, you may wish to read it.

The New testament believers are not bounded by certain percentage. When the time comes for you to give to the work of God, give to the poor, needy, widows and orphans, DO IT FREELY, WILLING AND CHEERFULLY AS THE LORD BLESSED YOU. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE TITHE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH. It is a works of the law and we are not saved or blessed by works of our righteousness or religious works. God bless you.

PLEASE, I DON'T NEED AN ARGUEMENT ON THIS. my response is to the OP.
It's good that you want to tithe. But first of all, you should be saved. If you're saved, that's when you are truly qualified to give to God. Ofcourse, you should realise that your giving does not save you, and that you are not giving tithes to be saved. Once that's out of the way, it's good you proceed cheerfully to give all the tithe.

Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
The bolded says "all the tithes". It indicates the possibility of not brining all. So give the tithe of the total. I think that would qualify as ALL THE TITHES.

Chei, Bro Image123,

Which one you come start so now? na wha for you,lol. Anyway, you be my bros but I go tell ya the truth now. Malachi 3:10 wasn't addressed to the Israelites but THE PRIEST.

The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. Malachi 1:1 nkjv.

"And now, O priests, this commandment is for you. Malachi 2:1 nkjv.

This chapter 2 continued all the way to chapter 4. Bro Image123, try to re-visit this tithe issue sir. God bless you.

I thought before that paying this part of way to be saved, because in church they talk about use not bringing it means stealing God's money.

Thanks also
because there are some church right inside there u know they don't need the Tithe money, that the needy, the poor needs its most, and i
think is better to give it to them.


well,
why i ask all this is that, i will find it difficult to give 10% all my salary, but can give 10% of my basic salary.
I understand now that tithe does not save one as most pastors say and it is better given to those in need than churches that do not need it.

Thanks all once again

One of my dear brothers on this forum will say "the heart of the matter is a matter of the heart." enough said.
