I see alot of people argue that a flat tax that treats both the wealthy and the poor the same by taxing them at the same rate is unjust. God asks for a tithe, 10%, from everyone. Is He unjust for doing this?

and what other tithing did He require? HINT- not just the one 10% tithing was required of the well to do....I see alot of people argue that a flat tax that treats both the wealthy and the poor the same by taxing them at the same rate is unjust.

do as Paul outlines in 2 Corinthians 9:7:
You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And dont give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.
so the very poor person is not required to give 10% or they were going to hell type thing....
and honestly....comparing tithing requirements of the old testament, the old covenant with gvt taxes seems wrong.... (and also... there is a NEW Covenant with God)
are we to give 10% to the gvt that we (if we were extremely poor) don't have.....as if we are praising and thanking the government for their Blessings that they give us????
avatar....you are on the wrong track with this presumption of yours....comparing and justifying a flat tax with God's tithing is just downright shameful sweetheart!
honestly oohpoo, God, tithing and gvt taxes should not even be used as a comparison for justifying a flat tax or justifying taxing the poor at the same rate as the wealthiest....imho, Avatar was off base to even bring it up.avatar...

So God works on a sliding scale.
