Paying of tithe is not a lie. It is commanded by God that we do so that there may be meat in His house. Mal.3:8-10
For those who context this, they are given to the spirit of greed and stinginess.
How much can you really give to God?
Tithing helps support your religious community and its mission. Tithing fosters a sense of gratitude and generosity. Tithing can lead to a sense of fulfillment and purpose. Tithing can help you prioritize your finances and practice good stewardship. Tithing may bring spiritual blessings and a sense of connection to something greater than yourself.
Tithing is always paid to God through His representative upon earth. That may be your Priest or Bishop. The use of such tithing is not at the whim of Gods representative, but this is indicated again by revelation. You should have a Tithing Settlement at the end of each year showing how much you have paid and if the amount is correct. Always keep your receipts. Lastly, make sure that the church which you will be paying your tithe to has that commitment as part of the churches program. Remember that paying tithing is voluntary, that it not only includes one tenth of all you earn but all others monies that you are given or come by. In other words all of your increase is tithed, whether it is what you have earned, what your granny has left you or a gift from an admiring friend.
The Holy Bible has about thirty two references to tithing, seven of which are in the New Testament. The principle of tithing is giving to the Lord ten percent of your earnings as an offering.
Deuteronomy 26:12 KJV "When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing ..."
Tithing is a gift, you income isn't really relevent.
