[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Bible says to tithe.  I would tithe.  Leave the college savings in God's hands.  He will honor your decision to tithe.  My parents have told me they tithed early in their marriage when things were tight, and over time, God multiplied their income such that college savings and other needs were not an issue.  God always comes first.  [/quote]
I tithed for a long time until I started to look more closely into what the bible actually does say about tithing, and it is not that much.
Abraham gave 10% of his war booty, not his monthly income, for you to do the same you would need to go to war
The 10% of offerings is based on one verse, but if you read the whole chapter you will see that it actually is a grain offering that must be a given to a levite priest. So you will have to find a jew of the levite tribe, and give him 10% of the grain harvest growing in your back yard in order to fulfill that requirement. If a Levite priest wanted new shoes he actually had to find a way to earn money and his shoes himself, the 10% grain was only for his nutritional needs.

And widows and single parents do not need to tithe. Women have no say in the congregation, so let the whole thing be financed by men.

And no, you can tithe your way into homelessness. Your income is not going to multiply and your kids college will be an issue. Yes, God does come first, but the doctrine of tithing as it is preached by the modern day American churches has no basis in church history, and is a fabrication added to Christian doctrine.

You will get your pie in the sky, the place in heaven that has been promised, regardless of how much money you throw at the altar. When a coin in the collection plate clings, a soul to heaven springs, is what was preached in the middle ages by the Catholic church.

God does not curse people who do not tithe, he is not in the business of cursing. You are not robbing God as that is not something you are even capable of doing[/quote]
