Do you tithe on loans?
Since you pay loans back would you be required to tithe on them?

Do you tithe on the money you use to pay the loan back? If so, technically, you wouldn't need to tithe on the loan, itself.

Re: Do you tithe on loans?
Just curious, why would you? It is not income that you earned it is something given to you under a set of criteria and you return the money with intrest. That is bad enough. One of the goals of every believer should be to get to the place where loans are something you give not something you take. I try and do cash for everything. I have one loan outstanding, my home note that is it. Beyond that it is cash. Don't be confused here I live in AZ and make barley over 30k for my household income. My home note is on my condo, but do to family growth I acutally rent a home and rent out my condo. I have little debt over all. It is certainly tough not making much but I am lucky to not have much debt of large proportions.

No. What is there to tithe on? It isn't increase.

If the bank loans you $300,000 to buy a house would you think you should pay a tithe on that?

Re: Do you tithe on loans?
I dunno...I have just heard teaching on both ends of the spectrum on tithing.Just trying to find where I stand on it I guess.I've heard some preach it as heaven or hell....some as just something extra that mature believers do and then some have said that it is not supposed to be done at all.But the question I asked was just one thought of recently.I dont like dealing with credit either...I have just had some unexpected problems come up....yes yes I know...should have had a emergency fund.*Sighs*

There would be no reason whatsoever to pay on a loan--it isn't your money. It's the bank's money.
If you're at a restaurant, and you forget your wallet--your friend loans you the money to pay your bill...do you pay tithes on the $10 before you pay it back???? That doesn't even make sense to me.

I agree with you, but I would add a little different verbiage. The reason you don't pay tithe on a loan is because the Bible says that we tithe on our "increase" and a loan is not increase.
P.S. If you want to pay that condo off quickly contact me. I have prepaid my mortgage note 17 months since February without taking any money out of my household budget or using any of my own money!
