That's what they did in the O.T. theocracy of Israel = 10% for Temple/Levites, 10% for national festivals, 10% every 3rd year for the poor, approximately 2% for other required giving.

I think one of the reasons why the N.T. leaves it open-ended is so that we won't feel compelled to stop at 10 percent. <br /><br />"Oh Mr Russell, you can pay me whatever you'd like for babysitting." Did he give less or more?Sorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551525893025698078noreply@blogger.com
