I started from childhood too. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Tithing is a scam and should be eradicated. Mogs of our generation have turned God's house into a business center...I think its high time the EFCC starts probing them one after the other. 12 Likes |

chiteny: I saw this in church today and thought I should ask. It should be His parent that gave the child to drop that envelop. A child does not work, He/she still rely on parental care, How then would tithing be accepted from them?  I give my Kids 50 cents each for offering. I believe Thats largely enough to educate them that giving is required in the house of God. Outside that, they have no connection to hold money until they are old enough  11 Likes |

Joagbaje: I thought tithing was for those who have income as practiced in the bible; for people who "have come of age". What income would a child of less than 5yrs have? 7 Likes |

Me I believe in traditions If a church preaches tithing (which i don't do) and the parents tithe The kids should be thought how to tithe When they grow up, they could decide to drop this habit if they are convinced otherwise and by the way, the kids money would most times be insignifant in terms of physical (not spiritual) value The real value is in developing a value system 1 Like |

I will teach my boys to share, give to the poor and respect others, I will teach them to work hard with their hands, be content and live simple lives not to be greedy and lazy believing God to be a money doubler. I will teach them that they cannot serve a God they dont see if they dont serve the least among their brethren. I will teach them to read the bible worship God in truth and not for benefits and miracles 19 Likes |

debrief08: I will teach my boys to share, give to the poor and respect others, I will teach them to work hard with their hands, be content and live simple lives not to be greedy and lazy believing God to be a money doubler. Exactly the same answers i gave to a pastor who asked me the question "since you are not tithing what (financial) principles (of giving) would you teach your children?" It's simple. Give to all in need. Give to the church (not by tithing but as convinced in your spirit about the needs of the church). Give to the Servants of God voluntarily. Love God. Worship and serve Him in spirit and truth. Live at peace with all men. Do all these as much as you humanly possibly can. 4 Likes |

Lol. I wonder where these children are getting their "income" from. Abi they also have to tithe on allowance money from mummy & daddy? Children ought to be taught to give and share not "pay" tithe. 1 Like |

Crownhead, NO TITHE IS RIGHT. Unless it is being used to improve the lives of the poor masses. Not when it is being used to buy jets and build universities. Learn to define 'right' in your own terms. 2 Likes |

Joagbaje:gifts and pocket monies are not income,can't you read between the lines,income here represent one's earnings from work or sales. How is that too hard for you to comprehend? If 15yr old cannot be asked to contribute to offset burial expenses when the parent dies that shows he is not of age and earns no income of his own,in same vein a 5yr old is not suppose to pay tithes in church. 1 Like |
