McLainDow Posted September 21, 2013 Report Posted September 21, 2013 Maybe this is unrelated but if someone who has a lot of disposable income simply pays their 10% tithe and spends the rest of their money on themselves is still going to be accountable to God in a big way. I would expect anyone who has the means to do so to be involved in private charity, someone who has spare time to be donating their labor, and etc.. to be fully in line with gospel teachings on sacrifice and service.Where as a person who is dirt poor, and paying their tithe before bills, leaning on the lord for their support are fully living the law of sacrifice.I think this video embodies that principle This brings to mind the law of consecration. Not to argue or play devils advocate but, I am under the impression that we are not bound to live by that law yet. Thoughts? Quote

Mahone Posted September 21, 2013 Report Posted September 21, 2013 If you're trying to impliy that it'd be some great ordeal for the Ward Clerk to handle, how is a $2 tithing check more of a hassle than a $200 check? Additionally, and I don't think you are consciously doing this, you mock and minimize the sacrifice of the individual who is a full tithe payer with a $2 check. If anything the sacrifice represented by tithing from the poor is more precious not less.The only thing I can think of is that depending on the location and the bank that the church account is set up with, the church may get charged for each cheque the bank had to process on its behalf. If the cheque is such low value, the bank charge might exceed, or almost exceed the value of the cheque. Quote
Lakumi Posted September 21, 2013 Report Posted September 21, 2013 If you have been endowed it's a commandment.does that happen at baptism or is that something that happens in the temple Quote
McLainDow Posted September 21, 2013 Report Posted September 21, 2013 In the temple but, I was under the impression that the LAW of consecration is not currently being enforced on the earth. Quote
