clemmonce: being ignorant does not give you the right to act stupid and be disrespectful. can you talk to your dad like this? i bet you do.

J-Mystique:
I've noticed nairaland 'atheists' who make it point of duty to troll christian threads jst to remind us about their enlightenment with overused lines like,'am an atheist','God is a fake idea',religion is the opium of the'...i no even sabi sef.I mean being d enlightened ones who have seen the light,why don't u jst allow us wallow in our foolishness.We choose to be mumus 4 our religions y e dey pain u?U hate pastors,hate churches,hate God,and never miss an oportunity to remind us.E don do,ur an atheist clap 4 urself,u try,we don hear,tnx.@ topic please if u don't want to pay tithes jst shut up and kip ur money and stay home,haba.Nobody is pointing gun @ anybody to pay stop taking panadol 4 our headache.Tithes is an xtian obligation,the fact that nigerian fake pastors everywhere have turned it to smtn else won't stop dt fact.

ItsModella: LMFAOO!!! anybody who swallows that pastor's story hook, line and sinker is a complete möron. I mean, how can a pastor even portray armed robbers in some sort of positive light all in the name of tithes? mschew!!

Do they think we are all learners?

oohrhii..fx:
I'll only say one thing only. "what did Jesus say about tithing" google it. for the sake of those that wish to knw...tithe is mean for the Pharisees and its becos those priest then don't have a job.so u give a percentage of ur farm produce and all. When Jesus came...it was stopped. Why do u think he was hated and killed.? Cos he came to refute all the lies told ant God n church. jESUS encourages giving..not force. Freely u r giving bro..give freely. Just google it n read ur self. You shall knw d truth and the truth shall set u free

juman: It was IBB bad governance that pushed the nigerian people into the hands of religious people.

PAGAN 9JA:
no


sorry we cannot let you wallow in your foolishness. There are Pagans and atheists in Nigeria too and we cannot let your foolishness hold the progress of our Nation back.

Dumb,r pastors now ur political leaders?Or is someones tithes affecting ur pocket?For me this is the no.1 proof that xtianity is the true true religion:the fact that ppl will go out of their way to disprove it,insult pastors,discourage people constantLy whereas there are religions out there preaching violence and killings and stranger things bt ur not concerned.Well am sorry,xtianity grew stronger even @ a time when when being 1 meant death and public disgrace/executions,it definitely won't b affected because someone spends all their time looking 4 ways to insult xtianity onLine.So by aLl means bro,keep up d gud work and diss on

Mr knowitall.:
[b]I was visiting a redeem church here in Texas on a thanksgiving day.....it was time to pay tithe. in an effort to get people to pay their tithe, the pastor decided to tell a story of testimony about a group of armed robbery victims....He said a large group was traveling from Lagos to a certain location. While in transit, they encountered a road block and stopped. Then a large group of armed robbers jumped out from the bushes and ran towards the bus shouting and shooting in the air. They then entered the bus and told everybody to get out of the bus and line up beside the bus. According to him, the armed robbers then asked the bus passengers"if you pay your tithe move to the left, if you dont pay tithe stay where you are." He said most people moved to the left but a handful stayed. Then the armed robbers looked at the people that did not moved to the left and told them"you that dont pay your tithe you are robbing God so we are going to rob you, but you that pay your tithe you are free to go." The armed robbers then robbed the none tithe paying group and ran back into the woods without taking anything from the tithe payers....

When i heard the story i was a little perplexed....how can armed robbers who took months in planing and gathering weapons and man power....ambush a bus only to ask them if they pay tithe?
What if everybody would have moved to the left what would have happened? they would just thank them and tell them sorry for the delay and leave?

anyways...has anyone heard the story or similar one before?[/b]

lecturerdabo: Yes I ve heard that story and also believe it is possible cos God works in mysterious ways that is why His ways are not our ways.

ini4brandon: actions reveal the TRUE motives of these MOGs. what do they do with tithe money? my ever generous governor impulsively donated millions in cash at the spot to a neigbourhood church that worshipped in a shanty house . guess the overseer's first phone call? a car dealer for the cost of toyota camry (spider). hmmm

#Fake pastor stories

skyfall: SCAM!

iv4fb: In as much as some pastors may say series of stories to make u pay ur tithe aint sufficient for us to judge them. Let God b the judge

I guess it's pastors' bashing day but I found your comment genuinely sensible and would like to answer you on what they do with the money. Where I worship(not a pastor but fully involved in the ministry), there is a tithe and offering box where people go to drop what they have at their own convenience. No collection or donation during service. The money is used for
1.Running the church: building churches, buying buses, generating sets, pa equipment, printing gospel literature etc. The mission of the church is to pray, preach and publish
2. Sustaining the volunteers that work for the church. Many pastors are not on full time service, but there are drivers, printers etc who work full time for the church
3. Works of charity: members visit blind centres(I go with a team to blind centres and you don't go empty handed), hospitals, schools and prisons. The needy and widows are catered for as the church hosts a charity day of free and cheerful sharing
4. Missionaries are trained and supported both locally and internationally. Rural evangelism is sponsored.etc
Many Christians have discovered that what you give is what you get. You give love, you get love. You invest in the less-privileged, others will remember you. Tho personally, I don't give to receive. It's my PLEASURE to do so!
