Would you rather tithe 10% to someone in a lab coat or someone fasting in the desert?

I think someone in a lab coat was probably not in need of monetary help.  I think someone fasting in the desert was spiritually avoiding food and they were ok.  I want my tithing to go to someone in need, be it financial or spiritual.

Well,  I  am not sure if that is even a very sensible  question, because it sure doesn't seem to take any consideration of who that person is and what HE might  prefer.     Human beings  aren't just one big Ant Colony, but comprised of individuals  with  very different personalities, hopes, dreams and wishes.      I  don't even think that a thousand bucks would go too far in changing somebody's LIFE.    These  days (as I know  from  experience)   ya can hardly get a dental fix-up on one tooth for that!!\n                     But if I had a thousand  dollars to spare with that  purpose in mind, I would ask that person how he or she feels  that money could be applied  to help their present situation, or  resolve a current difficulty.        I suspect a  great many of them would either  say "to pay off some of my bills"   or  "to give to...." and then they would mention the name of somebody else they felt  was in a worse shape  than  they  are.    I know  the world  is full of real "pieces of work" -  but  I  always  get the impression that there's a lot of generosity of heart out there, with needy people thinking of  others  even needier.

It all depends on what is if for. Since I will be spending this dollar, I believe at least I need to know what is it for. I would usually do it if it's for a good cause (feeding kids, paying for a hospital bill, etc). If you're asking for this donation to buy liquor, drugs, etc, I would rather send you an advice that hopefully would make you think twice about these topics.

NO. To bribe someone to convert or attract to any religion is WRONG. Converting should only come from a person's heart & what they feel led to do. GOD "Allah" wants your heart to be pure. It shouldn't be tainted by bribing. Thats sinful & makes the bribor untrustworthy.

I believe he preferred the skin bones and the parts that humans could not digest... hm-mm go figure that... \n\n\nActually, there is no documented case of when "God" preferred one over the other. \n\nIn general what one sacrificed to "God" was 10% of what one had made. The sacrifice was made in thanksgiving and also it was a request for a more bountiful year. It was the human servants who changed what was needed. No longer was it the bone, skin, blood of the animals but instead it became cloth, gold, and incense. Later this became money.

Neither.  Save the money.  Drink water and walk.  Then you will have money and health.

When i was in Washington D.C. I gave a homeless man my $100 dollars spending money. Instead of spending it on something that would probably rot my teeth or brain. I gave it to him, because i knew he was much worse off, and needed it more then i did. and if he was lying, well who am I to judge, God will do that in the end. I was just doing my part and being nice.

I would give about 25 billion to find the vaccine to HIV/AIDS, and I'd give a couple billion to probably every charity that actually needs it.\n\nThen I'd splurge, but I'd rather live in a half way decent sized house and just have decked out stuff.

No I disagree the old testament tithe was 10% we live under the new covenant.  10% is a great start but if you are unable to give 10% give what you can.  If you are able to give more than do so.\n\nAnd no I think that a church that does that is way off.

I would buy some food for a hungry family I saw this past weekend. By their looks, they certainly need the food more than anything I can think of to buy for myself..\nThe fact is, I don't have your imaginary $100, but I still bought them some food.\n\n(I am not competing for the best answer)

No tithing is not a requirement of God in these times.\nJesus does however say that you recieved freely so give freely.\nIf you are under obligation to tithe then it is not a free gift.\nTrue christians help from the heart not because a religion makes them feel obligated

Yes, I do give food and clothing to the poor and needy...I don't believe in god...but I also don't believe in letting people starve....I do object though to organizations that I have given money to--repeatedly mailing me and asking for more money( I feel as if the money I gave all went to paper and postage); and I feel insulted when they say that they will pray for me. I don't want that.

Yes, unless they are on a religious fast, and as long as the food is healthy for them in their present state.\n\n\nNamaste.
