(why) do you tithe?

[jackman]

ok. so you gave me two answers, one including an awesome definition of a steward, yet neither answered the question of where the money goes. do i take from that, that you're content, leaving that in the hands of others?

It goes where ever your church leadership says it goes. What i was saying is that a Good steward inquires where the money goes. A good church puts out quartly statements detailing every cent taken in verses what is spent.

I can not say where your church spends it's money, but i can tell you where mine does.

i assume those quarterly statements explain how much the pastor's mortgage and car notes are then (in the cases where that is what's happening)? also fyi, if you could tell me how "my" church spends it's money, then YOU, may well be god.
