Of Tithes and Taxes

Of Tithes and Taxes

Do You Think there is a Lie around the Tithe? (The Church of god’s tax!)!!
Originally created and published from Do you believe the Myths in the Bible 3-08-2002

How do you think GOD views giving and sharing for the poor in society? In answering this question “YOU and I” should ask is!!!
When we look into our HEART and think “Does a PURE, PERFECT, RIGHTEOUS, and GRACIOUS GOD, give to us”, and then turn around and demand more back???


…Especially where the poor cannot afford to give more this is a matter of economics!!!

Speaking about economics it is statically proven that the poor give more as a percentage of their wages in charitable contributions… I have to ask why is this a fact???
It is because of the FAITH of the poor and oppressed… Any one that has much should really examine their giving to charitable organizations…

I do not think that GOD is telling us that we have to give everything that he gave us to charity… By no means!!!



We are clearly taught to first take care of GOD, AND I TELL YOU that first taking care of GOD; YOU must first take care of WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU? YOUR FAMILY COMES FIRST!!! ALL OF YOUR BILLS SECOND!!! AND 10% OF WHAT IS LEFT FOR GODS WORK THROUGH THE UNIVERSAL CREATION!!!



This is a Question that I asked to try to show how GOD views legalists…

I am trying to show how I came to this conclusion through my own experience…

The tithe?

1. Do I tithe on my gross income? No,

a. First you have all those bills, the young couple starting out can not make it if they give too much away….
b. Second when children come along they will have expensive needs…
c. No way would a loving GOD oppress any family…
d. He gives us trials, but for the church or any one to preach this as an absolute… No way, LOOK into your own HEART, what does it tell you…
e. As a man teaches GOD wants to receive gifts from a joyful giver…
f. The work of the Lord is not just in the CHURCH… It is in everything created!!! And in every situation given unto you…
g. If it is OK for a business to pay all of the workers and other costs of doing business, then why not the family… FIRST FRUITS ARE THE GAINS AFTER EVERYTHING ELSE IS PAID….


2. It most certainly is OK, to give more to any cause in the name of the LORD!
Any time you can help someone you should especially if you feel called to do so…


GOD LOVES ALL THAT HE CREATED, HE LOVES THE CHURCH, THE HOME, THE TEMPLE (YOUR BODY) AND THE WAY YOU DO YOUR WORK AS THOUGH FOR THE LORD…

The law of economics, to the young and struggling 10% of One Hundred dollars means so much more than the same 10% of the more affluent who have Thousands of dollars. In other words ten dollars to one that only has a Hundred dollars has more value than One Hundred dollars to a man that has a Thousand. In the best scenario you should be able to give to your children for the continuing of your family line that their children would be blessed by your generosity, for the spirit of GOD is in the life force of the family of GOD. The bride, the loyal and devoted wife, and the children nurtured in the love of the mother and father. Oh the insult to GOD to have the family torn apart by lies, and wicked intentions of those that could not see the love lost from me. Now I am filled with pain from a lack of compassion, not able to trust, women, only trusting in a moment’s pure peace and the peace that is within me. Be Glad in the fact that the whole world does not lie for instead of being cast away from GOD we might actually be cast off to explore what GOD has Created. The Universe is an awesome expanse, if only the explores on this tiny ship called Earth could learn that GOD is with them in helping each other and protecting each other from the lies of the wicked!

The lie in the tithe also can be applied to the concept of a flat tax where we all pay our fair share based upon a percentage taken equally from each person. Flat taxes and tithes do hurt the poor and less privileged. Those that have more should contribute to more good causes. Certainly the will of GOD is to make a better world with people helping each other. The Blessings of GOD to all that Bless GOD through creation of systems that help others.

Another article that is worth while reading about this subject can be found here. I Love to find other people that are sharing their own experiences and thoughts about right and wrong. The only problem is the obvious flaw in worshiping the crucifixion of Jesus as the Salvation of the world. GOD saves our eternal souls, Jesus was a messenger and teacher, GOD is to be worshipped not the book or the building or even Jesus. We are to be in communion with GOD. With that written and read, I invite you to read this writing that I found when I Googled 'The Lie in the Tithe' -- by Jack Helser
