Many Christian denominations require their members to give 10% of all their earnings, a practice known as tithing. In the Old Testament, under Jewish law, there was the requirement of tithing, as seen in stories such as Abraham and Jacob giving a tenth of everything they had. But does this requirement still stand?

Although the Catholic Church teaches that offering some form of material support to the Church is mandatory for all Catholic adults, provided they are able do so, it doesn't set a required number or percent. Tithing was a requirement of Mosaic law, which Christians are dispensed from by virtue of the New Covenant. This does not, however, remove the obligation to give to the Church.

One verse that is helpful in understanding our obligation to give is 2 Corinthians 9:5-8.

“So I thought it necessary to encourage the brothers to go on ahead to you and arrange in advance for your promised gift [donation], so that in this way it might be ready as a bountiful gift and not as an exaction. Consider this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each must do as already determined without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work.”

God doesn't demand a certain amount of money from us; He wants us to give from the heart. Whether that’s money, time, or talent, He wants your joyful offering. If people are forced by the Church to give a certain percent of their income, that's extortion. If they give freely and cheerfully the amount they are able, that's a gift.

I quoted from the article

Pay your tithe be it Catholic or Protestant. At times I wonder why many Christians are just arguing unnecessarily even when those from the other world pay their tithes.

I was a Catholic and in my parish we paid our tithe in an envelope.

The funny thing is that the same bible verse that mandated us to pay tithes also mentioned the need to pay offerings.


How and why Freeze and his cohorts excluded offerings in their arguments is still a mystery to me.

only sheeples are mandated to give 10% to the church. one of the biggest fraud in the history of humanity

3 to 5yrs ago, all the parishes I attended don't pay tithes. Now we are encourage to pay tithe, without threat.
