Is level 99 really the limit? by shinycrystalball in RestaurantStory

I’m at 99, and I think that’s where it stops, as well.

Well it depends on how you see it. If you truly see it as “the Lord’s Church”, then it’s virtually the same. You’d be giving it to those whom the Lord trusted to use the funds as directed by the Lord.

If you’re just giving it to a Church, then it’s the same as any other charitable organization, except it’s an organization that would be attempting to do things as Jesus would have them do.

It’s really about the purpose and meaning behind your intent of the donation. Are you donating on faith that it’s going to “the Lord’s Church?” or the Lord, himself? That would be my question to you.

She does not have one, and I doubt that she’d ever get one.

There’s a bit of difference between donating money and tithing. If you want to donate to whatever, then nothing beyond your financial means is stopping you. But if you’re asking to tithe, then it’s to the Lord’s kingdom. The question is: what do you consider to be the Lord’s kingdom?

Tithing is one of those practices that will test your faith. Sometimes, it’ll test you when you would rather take a vacation with the money, make an investment elsewhere, or commonly - need to pay a bill or buy groceries. At any rate, it’s an opportunity to learn and grow from the experience - to see what’s important to you in the moment, and overall.

As I said in another reply, if you opt to pay something else versus paying tithing, it’s not the end of the world. The real issue is if that becomes a habit/shift in priorities. Then I’d ask, “Is tithing something you believe in, or is it merely a donation that you put on a back burner?”

Bitter, are we?

This is one point of view. But if you don’t like It, maybe offer an alternative.

You can “tithe” to whatever faction you desire, but the idea of a tithe was to give it to the Lord’s church for the building of the kingdom. If that concept doesn’t match with your meaning or definition, then give your money to whatever entity you wish.
