I know we are go give our tithes, give to the poor, the widows and orphans, and to give freely, but what exactly does the scripture say?
Huh?If we accept the commandments of God to not murder, lie, steal and so on, why would we think that giving 10% is not just as valid?

I like that! Well said.Money = time = life spent on getting it. Money = life, no wonder people don't want to give it up. Of course, laying down one's life and praying for the lost, or witnessing to others, or just living a Godly life in front of those in darkness is giving, and not just 10% but 100%.
The old covenant required 10 percent. The new covenant does not specify a percentage.

I am aware of that. Bible infers that 10% is the minimum doesn't it?
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Yes, I see 10% as a minimum. That goes to the church. Anything above that goes to Christian charities or if they church is still in need, give there. I don't see a tithe as giving. It's already Gods. Anything above that is giving.Yes sir, I think everyone knows that, but if God commanded 10% when under the Law, and Paul says we are to give as we are blessed, wouldn't that mean we should give more than 10%?
Definately! If God blesses with 10% imagine 90%!Yes sir, I think everyone knows that, but if God commanded 10% when under the Law, and Paul says we are to give as we are blessed, wouldn't that mean we should give more than 10%?

By the way......a businessman by the name of J.C.Penney did exactly that and we all know where that got him.
That's cool @Major The only autograph I have is from Tim Berners-Lee - the real author of the Internet. I met him at a conference right after Gore's comment
