Is Tithing Biblical?
D.A. Carson has a great response to this question, which you can read here. My response is-
- 1} Try not to STRESS numbers and percentages like 10% {in actuality, the Old Testament saint gave around 30%- so if you talk numbers, shoot for this one}.
- 2} STRESS adjectives and phrases from 2nd Corinthians 8-9 like “overflow in a wealth of generosity…” “gave according to their means…and beyond their means…” “readiness…” ”desire…” “for the glory of the Lord…” “sow bountifully…” “as you have decided in your heart, not relunctantly or under compulsion…” “cheerful…” “generous…”
