Bidam: MY BRO..THE PROBLEM IS THAT THESE FALSE TEACHINGS HAS LED SO MANY ASTRAY THAT I WEEP FOR THE CHURCH...DISTORTION AND TWISTING OF SCRIPTURES AND CLAIMS THAT SINCE MALACHI IS OT..IT IS DONE AWAY WITH..WHEN CHRIST RETURNS WILL HE STILL FIND FAITH IN THE EARTH? MAY GOD HELP THE ELECT. ^^^^^^^ So how come tithing is not mentioned once in the acts of the apostles or any of the letters written by the apostles. Why are the Gentiles told to only abstain from fornication and not to eat meat with the blood in it? If tithing was such an important aspect of their worship, why is it not talked about. Because it was not a valid part of this new faith. Stop this fraud!! 3 Likes |

Bidam: BRO..RATHER you are the one who is blind to scriptural truth...so na until JESUS CHRIST appear to you and tell you to tithe before you go believe abi? my bro..go back to your first love..many are being led astray by false doctrines these days..becos they think tithes is for pastors and not Jesus..Thank GOD for the HOLY SPIRIT. Bro, I already feel trying to bring you and fellow tithers to knowledge is a lost cause, but I'll still try. Firstly, do you understand that because a law exist in the old testament, it doesn't have to apply to Christianity which is founded on the NEW COVENANT promised by God and established by Christ? The old testament contains records of Judaism, with laws commanded by God. He was not satisfied with the observance of those laws based on the old covenant so he promised another that was testated to with the blood of Christ. And the litany of rules and regulations contained in the law became nullified. Secondly, evidence of this is rampant in the bible-new testament, with St.Paul rebuking Jewish Christians for trying to institutionalise jewish law(circumcision, Sabbath, passover etc) as christian faith. He warned rightly that the law was of no benefit to those who are saved by the blood of the lamb. Thirdly, again, a law commanded to be observed in the old testament under the law does not auto transfer to the new testament. Both are different books under 2 different covenants established by the same God. Christ directed his disciples to go forth and spread HIS gospel and his own rules leading to salvation being the testator of the new covenant. Hence the 10commandments of old were reduced to 2, an adultress was spared her life against dictates of the law, he was accussed of not holding the sabbath sacred by healing a man, he gave us the beatitudes, he gave us the parable of doing good works to our neighbours as being done to him. If you must live by laws, then these are christian laws to emulate. Why adhere to obsolete jewish laws that God himself found displeasing and of no benefit to him who observed it? About false doctrine, can you point to christian scripture(new testament) that support tithes? We all know that the levitical priesthood stands nullified under the new covenant, we know that pastors are not levites, most have enough inheritance both on the land and even in the air, we know Christ never promised his disciples a reward taxed from their converts, we know from the acts and pauline letters that tithing did not exist in the early church, we know for FACT that it was the Catholic Church using state apparatus that introduced tithes into christianity to consolidate its temporal powers and advance a church/state political system of government within a christianized roman empire. Lastly, the parable of the pharisee and sinner records that christ said the the pharisee had ignored other weightier matters of the LAW but should still have delivered his tithes of agricultural produce. We learn from this that tithes was of the law and under the law it wasn't one of the weightiest of obligations, we know Christ was yet alive at this point so the law was still relevant up to the point he was crucified, we also learn from this parable that the sinner only asked for MERCY while the pharisee gave a reel of religious SACRIFICES he was making like keeping the rules of sabbath, paying his tithes etc. Christ noted that the sinner went home more justified. So I close with this true advice given by christ: "I will have mercy not sacrifice"! 11 Likes |

Stop being confused. When you give tithe with a loan its no more a tithe that you are giving. You give a tenth of your profit. Is loan a profit? NONSENSE. Thats why i said any pastor who ask people to give tithe with loan is being wicked and of course what the person is paying is no more tithe.He is only satisfying his greed. Offering also are not to be paid with loan. You give according to what you have and how the spirit of God leads you. Confused teacher stop mixing up issues. You are the one picking up old testament when it suits your senseless opinion and discarding it when it doesnt fit into it. NONSENSE. frosbel2: |

christemmbassey: bro dont feel defeated, like i said , we are not here to win arguments, but to learn and teach each other, grow and become better christians, lets not engage in deaf and dumb or buhari arguments, if u have superior point bring out, we say the christian is not suposed to pay tithe with scriptures to back it up, if u believe otherwise show us a verse where Christ recieved or paid tithe, or where Paul, Peter, John etc paid to or collected tithes from christians. Speak the TRUTH and shame the devil. God bless.You are now calling me a bro..wHat a hypocrite after calling me all manner of names in the other thread..this is what you said..LET ME QUOTE IT FOR OTHERS TO SEE christemmbassey: the bible call ppl like you 'profane' because u make men think they can buy the love of God, after stealing, selling their bodies, doing ritual etc they bring ur 10% u collect blood money and tell them it is well. You kill a mans conscience and tell him It is well?, you keep aside the cross and look up to naira and u say u know Christ. See the diff between u and me, when u pray, u tell God, "i have paid my tithe" when i pray, i say, "father thank you for giving me all things in Christ" as a son, i enter and lambano but as a law observer u beg.

"They must be silenced, because they are turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching. And they do it only for money." - Titus 1:11 "The dogs have a mighty appetite; they never have enough. But they are shepherds who have no understanding; they have all turned to their own way, each to his own gain, one and all." - Isaiah 56:11 Jeremiah 6:13 "From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. Micah 3:11-12, "The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest." 1 Timothy 6:5, "Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself." 2 Corinthians 2:17, "For we are not as the many, making gain by corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ." 2 Likes |

Bro, I already feel trying to bring you and fellow tithers to knowledge is a lost cause, but I'll still try.LOST CAUSE? I'll rather believe Jesus than a thousand distortions and twisting of scriptures you call exposition. Firstly, do you understand that because a law exist in the old testament, it doesn't have to apply to Christianity which is founded on the NEW COVENANT promised by God and established by Christ? The old testament contains records of Judaism, with laws commanded by God. He was not satisfied with the observance of those laws based on the old covenant so he promised another that was testated to with the blood of Christ. And the litany of rules and regulations contained in the law became nullified.you think so?Paul says, "We know that the law is spiritual" (Romans 7:14),TRY DEBUNKING THAT LETS SEE. Secondly, evidence of this is rampant in the bible-new testament, with St.Paul rebuking Jewish Christians for trying to institutionalise jewish law(circumcision, Sabbath, passover etc) as christian faith. He warned rightly that the law was of no benefit to those who are saved by the blood of the lamb.SHOW ME WHERE PAUL SPECIFICALLY WROTE TITHING WAS ABOLISHED AND I WILL REST MY CASE. , again, a law commanded to be observed in the old testament under the law does not auto transfer to the new testament. Both are different books under 2 different covenants established by the same God. Christ directed his disciples to go forth and spread HIS gospel and his own rules leading to salvation being the testator of the new covenant. Hence the 10commandments of old were reduced to 2, an adultress was spared her life against dictates of the law, he was accussed of not holding the sabbath sacred by healing a man, he gave us the beatitudes, he gave us the parable of doing good works to our neighbours as being done to him. If you must live by laws, then these are christian laws to emulate. Why adhere to obsolete jewish laws that God himself found displeasing and of no benefit to him who observed it?JEWISH LAWS are not obsolete rather, they were written by GOD for us to emulate and learn from..JOHN says HIS commandments are not grievous..Jesus even came to fulfill the law not to abolish them. About false doctrine, can you point to christian scripture(new testament) that support tithes? We all know that the levitical priesthood stands nullified under the new covenant, we know that pastors are not levites, most have enough inheritance both on the land and even in the air, we know Christ never promised his disciples a reward taxed from their converts, we know from the acts and pauline letters that tithing did not exist in the early church, we know for FACT that it was the Catholic Church using state apparatus that introduced tithes into christianity to consolidate its temporal powers and advance a church/state political system of government within a christianized roman empire.yes plenty..but lemme give you this one.."The elders who do good work as leaders should be considered worthy of receiving double pay, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching" (1 Timothy 5:17, GNT). Some translations read, "double honor" (KJV, NIV, etc.), but this is clearly wrong, since the very next verse says, "For the Scripture says, 'Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain,' and 'The worker deserves his wages'" (v. 18, NIV). The context is about money, or paying the ministers what they deserve. Lastly, the parable of the pharisee and sinner records that christ said the the pharisee had ignored other weightier matters of the LAW but should still have delivered his tithes of agricultural produce. We learn from this that tithes was of the law and under the law it wasn't one of the weightiest of obligations, we know Christ was yet alive at this point so the law was still relevant up to the point he was crucified, we also learn from this parable that the sinner only asked for MERCY while the pharisee gave a reel of religious SACRIFICES he was making like keeping the rules of sabbath, paying his tithes etc. Christ noted that the sinner went home more justified.lies from the pit of hell..what Christ says when He was alive is still relevant and WEIGHTY even when He died and Resurrected or are you queshioning GOD COS HE CHOSE ISREAL TO BE HIS PEOPLE? So I close with this true advice given by christ: "I will have mercy not sacrifice"![/quote]I also will close with this..i urge you by God's mercies to present your bodies(which includes your talents,time,tithes and offerings)as living sacrifices,holy and pleasing to God-this is YOUR SPIRITUAL ACT OF WORSHIP(Romans 12:1). |

enilove: But by time Jesus Christ was done on earth, the law was no more. Are you saying we should still uphold jewish law? Are you saying St.Paul was a heretic for rebuking Jewish christians who tried to impose jewish ordinances on the gentile christians? Are you unaware that the God himself promised the new covenant that abolished the old? Are you saying you will forever hold-on to the law even when God has deemed it imperfect? Are you unaware that Christ said "My yoke is easy and my burden light"? Now, do you accept as stated in Hebrews that "for under the LAW the levites received tithes of their brothers"? Do you know that as a christian you have no obligation to the law? That's because it has passed away as designed by God himself who established a new covenant that had no more need for offerings, sacrifices, and all that was commanded by the law once the sacrifice of Christ the lamb of God had been made. Your attempt to show why churches need tithes underscores that you don't even know what tithe was or was meant for. The levites had no land inheritance and ad such had no agricultural land produce. The 12landed-regions of israel was composed of 10sons of Jacob, excluding Levi and Joseph, the 2sons of Joseph completed the 12. So the levites were still left out because God had chosen that they will serve him in priesthood apart the sons of Aaron. As compensation for being landless, the 12landed tribes were to supply a tenth of land produce to the levites who then sacrificed a further tenth of what was received as offering to God. Now, there were other rules regarding when an individual could retain his tithes or when the pool of tithes could be shared to assist the needy-widows, orphans etc. Beyond these exceptions, the tithes was meant solely for the levites and their families for God was their own inheritance. The structural needs of a temporal church are not to be financed with tithes. The land, the workers and all other bills to be paid by the church can be pooled by way of general or project specific offering. Tithing has no place in Christianity. It is the greatest fraud in the history of mankind. The eastern orthodox church in eastern Europe has never tithed and it is alive and well. It never tithed because tithing only came up years after it had severed most ties with the Roman/western Catholic church, once more proving that tithes was introduced by Catholic christianity in the 4th century for it's own reasons. The practice was simply continued by the 16th century Protestants. What new testament Christianity teaches is that you care for the needs of you neighbour as instructed by Christ, and that you give willingly and cheerfully, but not out of obligation as advised by St.Paul. Fear not, discard of the law for no profit is to be found in it. As Hebrews stated about the law, "that which is made old, decayeth and is ready to vanish away". Christian righteousness will never be attained by keeping obsolete laws you have been liberated from. That is scripture as written! 6 Likes |

CURSES OF PAYING TITHES CURSE OF PAYING TITHES: The Curse of The Law: Gal3:10 TITHING is one of the works of the Law as commanded to be observed Year by Year as a means of worship before the Lord in the place He has chosen. TITHING is NOT giving one tenth of one’s income as is falsely taught by many out of covetousness and dishonest gain Titus1:10-11. TITHING involves all the OBLIGATORY activities about the a tenth of one’s increase Year by Year. These OBLIGATORY activities include: Pilgrimage to Jerusalem with whole household, Eating and Drinking and Rejoicing with whole household before the LORD in Jerusalem, Giving a portion to the Levite. And in the third Year which is the Year of TITHING, Giving to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless and the widow. NOTE THAT MONEY IS NOT INVOLVED IN TITHING, OTHERWISE THE PURPOSE OF TITHING WILL BE DEFEATED according to the Law of Moses in which is the commandment of TITHING: 22"You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year. 23And YOU SHALL EAT before the LORD your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always. 24But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the LORD your God has blessed you, 25then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the LORD your God chooses. 26And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; YOU SHALL EAT there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household. 27You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you. 28"At the end of every third year you shall bring out the tithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates. 29And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do. Deut14:22-29; (Deut12:4-14, 17-18; Deut26:11-15). Take note that nothing shall be added to the commandment of God, and nothing shall be taken away from it otherwise one is to be put to death: spiritually which brings about leanness in one’s soul (Psam106:15; Psalm107:10-12), and physically by the people (Deut13:5; Deut21:21): You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
