difference of tithe and alms?
540458
If you are a Christian, you are obliged to give 1/10th of your total earnings (probably every month) to God. You could give this to your church or to any other ministry of your choice. Alms are given to the poor, not out of compulsion but out of sympathy and a love for the under-priviliged.

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

pay fees on allotment day. Form1 will be for branch in an institution. whereas by form 2 you get only an institution. Branch will be alloted in the institution according to A.I.R on the first day of the college.\nForm2 is risky.You may end up getting a worst branch, you never know.It's recommended not to wait for the branch allotment if you get a not so good state like >200.

we have both at our parish and i know a few others that also have both.  it depends on the congregation and the pastor.  if there are enough people who want it and the preist knows it all they have to do is petition their archdiocese.  i don't think it'll go fully back though - it wasn't as encompassing as i believe the mass is presently.  we will often do the kyrie, agnus dei, etc.

I commend you for wanting to do the right thing. I think God will lead you to know which is right. And don't forget, whatever you give ABOVE the tithe is your OFFERING. Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me, But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

If you are not set up as a 501c(3) non-profit, the donations people make to you will not be tax-deductible for them. This may discourage donations to your ministry. It would be unethical to solicit donations without revealing your status. It might be better to consider starting your ministry under the umbrella of an existing tax-exempt organization or going ahead with setting your organization up as a non-profit before you solicit donations.\n\nIf someone who doesn't care about a tax deduction makes an outright gift to you to help you get started with your ministry, this would not be taxable income, because you don't have to pay taxes on a gift. If you are paid for performing a service, that is considered taxable income. For example, if you set up a business organization, tax-exempt or not, and that organization pays you a salary or stipend for your ministerial services, that would be taxable income and you would have to use some of that money to pay the taxes. The organization would issue a W-2 (if you are being paid as an employee) or a 1099 (if you are being paid as an independent contractor) and you would need to include this income on your tax return.\n\nI'd suggest you find a financial adviser who can help you set up your ministry properly so you don't run into trouble with the IRS later.

Our church is going through this issue now.  The church should analyze their income from the last two years to see if they can afford the mortgage.  Lots of churches go into debt to build, but they have a reasonable belief that they can pay off the loan.  There are also lots of organizations that help churches with low/no interest loans, land purchase help, etc.  depending on your location and denomination, I would check into that before getting a traditional loan.

Depends if you are the donator or the donatee?  But I believe the best would be to do a Journal Entry: Debit Equity & Notes payable, Credit Donations.  The first time you pay the note of 142.00 press ctl M to memorize that transaction then set it up as frequently as you need it and if you need it to be automatic or to remind you.  I would need more info to properly answer.

One of the main differences is that Lutherans believe in infant baptism and Baptists believe in waiting until the child is older. Also, the Baptists in the church across from my house have the women wear skirts all the time. They also strongly suggest tithing (giving ten percent of your income to the church) and abstain from dancing and drinking alcohol.

Most churches will give you a statement at the end of the year showing your donations for tax purposes. It is always good to write a check for an additional record if you need it. It is practical to claim a tax deduction because it gives you more money to donate if you wish.

Tithe, pay off debts, bank the rest.

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.
