Should Bills Be Paid Before You Tithe?

From The 700 Club, Gordon Robertson answers the question around the priority of tithe in your budget.

we are not under the law of tithe, give what you can.

We are not obligated to tithe. The tithe was from what the people harvested and went to the levites who had no land. The primitive church gave and held all things in common. They did not tithe. They met in homes they did not build church buildings, buy land etc.

The Church was never instructed to tithe. Tithing is one of the Mosaic Laws.

I learned so much because this is my experience too about tithing out of an obligation instead of what I can right now cheerfully for God.

I give 10% gross (before bills) and everything afterwards is always taken care of ... its almost like "circumcision of your money" ... be blessed

Tithe first! God will supply your needs. Malachi 3:10 says “Bring all the tithes ( the tenth ) into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this, ” says the Lord of hosts, “ if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you ( so great ) a blessing until there is no more room to receive it. 11 “ Then I will rebuke the devourer ( insects, plague ) for your sake and he will not destroy the fruits of the ground, nor will your vine in the field drop its grapes ( before harvest ), says the Lord of hosts.
This is the only time that we are told to test the Lord is in our tithing.

This isn't even a relevant biblical question. Biblical tithes weren't received from earned wages. Monetizing the tithe as a deliverable was man's idea after the Bible was written. One can tithe or not tithe per their own discretion.

Life gets tough sometimes and we don't have any money for the tithe. But God knows exactly what we are going through, I say don't stop believing in the Lord and things will get better 🙏

Be generous. Love God. Love others. ❤

[rwifbb]

Since we not under the jewish covenant...we dont have to pay title. This is the foolishness of the church to teach this

[lindagray]

I believe all believers are to tithe according to Malachi 3:10

[laraparks]

Really? 😮 isn't that idolatry? Don't we get to God through Jesus Christ?😮

[davidhjort]

Still didn’t really answer the question

[carolamoore]

Abraham wasn't under the law, but he tithed to honor God anyway, and that's what we should be doing. JESUS also mentioned about tithing in the New Testament in Matthew 23:23. God doesn't need our money, he wants our heart's and for us to trust him to provide.🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

As long as we give God His 10% it doesn't matter if we give before or after just keep in mind that 10% belongs to him, God gives us 90% 😊

I set my tith, aside first. Still, it seems like someone keeps burning, the crop sometimes. Yet, I'm still here.

Have to tithe first so you can pay the bills
