Something that I have been interested in, those of you that beleive that tithing
is required, what is the 10% of? Is it gross, gross less taxes, gross less taxes
and your house? I am really courious as to the figure that the 10% is calculated
from. I have heard many many different ideas and I would like to hear more.
There is safety in a multitude of council and I grow greatly form many of the
discussions here - even from those of you that are wrong - you know the ones
that disagre with me :o)  (note a large amount of sarcasm there, not a serious
comment as I have had my mind swayed some by a few of the discussions
here....Praise the Lord)
