Do you think God has been generous to you because of your tithing? Or do you think he would have been just as generous if you gave less?

Be careful, too many Christians fall into the same trap as the LDS, that God blesses us BECAUSE of our tithe, which is the same as trying to bribe God.

Obviously I can never be certain. However, I don't look upon tithing as trying to bribe God. It's a recognition that everything I have originally came from Him, and I'm showing my gratitude by putting some of His gifts to His use.
