We are to tithe 10% on our increase.
Do you view an inheritance as a personal increase, or a decrease?

I am with you on that one CK. Inheritance would increase to me and be titheable. I would rather error on the side of generosity than on the side of stingy. I live with the hope that The Lord will be generous too.

The whole point of our offering of temporal things to God is to remind us where these things come from. The ancient Hebrews not only paid tithes, but offerings also. They also were to observe jubilees and sabbatical years as well. This and tithing was all done away when the new covenant was given. The Primitive Church did NOT pay tithes to the Priests. They lived the higher law, the law of consecration.
When the Church was restored, the law of consecration was restored also. Only because we cannot keep that law has it been suspended as in the days of Moses, and we are to again pay tithes in preparation to live the law of consecration wherein we will consecrate all we have. Pay the tithes and the LORD will bless you with an increase, for He is the only provider we have. -a-train

That is three for and none against so far.

Consider yourself blessed with the opportunity.
tithing large or small is what the Lord asks of us. Greater sacrifice, as shown in the scriptures, is the person who has the least and gives the most. Ben Raines

Too often people think of tithing as losing money.
They forget what they're gaining, and what the Church gains as a result of their tithes (missionaries, temples, meetinghouses, etc...).

I have a rule I live by: If I'm not sure if I should pay tithing on something, I pay it anyway. There's nothing wrong with paying more than 10%. You will be doubly blessed in return.
