ArchivedTithing and BaptismWerner, I see you are doing all your positive works to the glory of God, but let me ask you a question(Anyone else can answer this also). The bible says we are saved by grace, BUT our good works count in heaven. Now the point I'm trying to get to is the topic of reward in heaven. Do you think your reward in heaven will be greater than someone else who was a Christian, but did not have the same oppurtunities as you? I guess what I'm trying to say is, you might be enjoying the way you glorify God, because it benefits God AND yourself, but tithing is a sacrifice, where you ONLY give God the benefits not because you expect something in return, but because you love God. People always complain about the struggles in life and how God created us to be happy all the time. But you have to sometimes "punish" yourself for God's sake. Sort of like fasting. You have to punish the flesh and sacrifice sometimes eventhough you know you are not forced to, and the fact that you consider the things you do to enjoy life as a tithing is in my humble opinion, wrong........GBU!!!!!!!!!! |
