Candour: Even in America where a lot of the ills that plague some forms of Christianity emanate and are quite prominent, see the surprising result of a survey done only two or so years ago in 2011. From here http://www.nae.net/resources/news/547-evangelical-leaders-say-tithe-not-required Short extract "[size=14pt]Evangelical Leaders Say Tithe Not Required[/size] Many evangelical churches regularly encourage their members to tithe, or give the church at least 10 percent of their income. Yet, according to the February Evangelical Leaders Survey, most evangelical leaders do not believe the Bible requires Christians to tithe. The survey showed that 58 percent do not believe the Bible requires a tithe, while 42 percent do." 1 Like |

Kenny4lyfe: You see how dishonest you and your pastors are? Later you'll start lying you don't tithe because of Mal 3:8-12. Keep deceiving your selves. I wonder why your devourer has not being able to devour the 1billion Catholics who no longer operate by tithing. Chukwudi44 , a well known Catholic on NL has blown your lies out in the open. Catholics are encouraged to give as they desire and are able which is exactly what the apostles encouraged their converts to be doing and which we are advocating today. Keep contributing to make your god of men have enough resources to keep their hair gelled. You'll be repaid with cartons of sophisticated hair cream I suppose. 1 Like |

We aint complaining! Y complain for us? Is it your money? See height of desperation abeg! |
Re: Anti-tithe Churches by Candour(m): 7:18am On Oct 10, 2013 |
Gombs: Do you have a problem with comprehension? Catholics no longer practice compulsory tithing but are encouraged to contribute anything from 1-100% means they no longer operate by tithing, you know why? because tithe is strictly 10%. and if you dont operate a strict 10% threshold, then you're no longer operating by tithing or you want to prove Abraham gave more than 10%? Tithe is 10%....No more, No less Its that simple. We aint complaining! As if you have a choice. Complain to your pastor na if you get liver....make e prophesy devourer, poverty and sickness upon your head courtesy of Mal 3:8-12 Abraham's example indeed!! You belong to your god of men my friend. Do well to start doing your thinking yourself. See height of desperation abeg! You lied against the Catholic church and a Catholic called you out. Catholics mooted the idea of Tithes for the church at Tours in 567AD, ratified it at Macon in 585AD and even then, its was strictly Agric produce meaning Christianity survived for 550 years without compulsory tithes .Catholics are obligated to support the church but are not given a percentage to abide by. Ask a Catholic who knows to educate you. Fr Gyang can even help you out So on the issue of Catholic tithing, you're very wrong. Just admit it even if to yourself. |

... Folks can't answer a simple YES or No question even after he saw that I listed Catholic Church in the list of Churches that preaches and receive tithes. He's still asking me flimsy question to dodge answering a simple Yes or No question Asking me whether my Church is pro tithing so that he can derail from the topic of the thread. As if, if my church were anti tithing, I'd be here asking them to give list of anti tithe churches or supporting tithing views Folks that can't list the anti tithing churches they attend Folks who think they are smarter both mentally and spiritually and scripturally than hundreds of Millions who tithe. Back to the Matter, we are not discussing catholism here, or compulsory tithe or not compulsory We want to know JUST 10 anti tithe churches in Nigeria. Pls give the list to the world to see, (you guys can't even spell out the churches you attend ) or simply bury your heads in shame. 1 wrong answer again and I'm off this thread with full smile that anti tithe crew can't list 10 churches that are against tithing (preach against it) and also that they can't post their church names, churches which they themselves say preach against tithing. |
Re: Anti-tithe Churches by Candour(m): 8:32am On Oct 10, 2013 |
Gombs: ... A Catholic told you they do not preach tithing, i said the same thing. So strike them from your list. They are not with you in the scam. If we list it, what will you do with it? and if we dont, will do more than laughing and scoffing? so go ahead and start your enjoyment. I told you one Church i attend and they DO NOT preach tithing so do what you want with the info. It'll do you well to realise numbers dont determine correctness. I told you in the other thread that millions have followed dumb beliefs for ages so pls drop this herd mentality. Do your own thinking by yourself and stop relying on the crowd to help you know what is true or false. Has it ever occurred to you that you and your particular group might have been fooled by the gelled smart man? Back to the Matter, we are not discussing catholism here, You dont want to discuss Catholicism again? i thought you know so much about them? Go dig up more links to support your false claims. We want to know JUST 10 anti tithe churches in Nigeria. What do you need the list for? to help you make up your mind to continue or stop being fleeced? since you obviously need numbers to help you make up your mind I dont have a list of 10 because i didn't brag about any number. I have given you the name of one i attend, now do what you want to do with it. |

Gombs: Congratulations on your victory. Hope you spend the cash prize very well As you go learn the following 1. High numbers doesn't translate to correctness, the crowd is not always right 2. The Catholic church doesn't preach tithe so dont use them as leverage in your scams 3. Christians are only to give voluntarily, no stipulated percentages. 4. We didn't hear the truth about tithes from churches but from in-depth personal study of the word of God. 5. There are churches that dont preach tithes and more will come up. |
Re: Anti-tithe Churches by Nobody: 9:13am On Oct 10, 2013 |
I have been attending Covenant Christian Center for sometime and I noticed they do not stress on tithing like they do in other pentecostal churches. Although, the envelopes are passed around during offering time. In my Christian walk, I have learnt that the crowd is not necessarily right one of which is most pentecostal teaching that Alcohol is a sin. I know better because I asked the Holy spirit and not a MOG. Same reason I know better about tithing. GOD is not a Slot machine! When you claim to tithe based on Malachi 3 then how can you claim you give to God because you love him? 3 Likes |

Re: Anti-tithe Churches by Enigma(m): 9:20am On Oct 10, 2013 |
Processor01: To be frank, there has been so much debate on here about tithing and while I have completely stopped tithing I still find it hard to fit into churches that still practice this. What the OP asked for is that which is bolded above. The answers provided to that have already well exceeded 10. OK the OP mentions "anti-tithe"; BUT we can see clearly what the OP means by that i.e. churches that do not preach tithing. Again, as I said, the answers provided have already exceeded ten. As another poster suggested, the use of language on the thread suggests that this is the dichotomy: "Pro-tithe" churches = churches who preach obligatory/mandatory tithing. "Anti-tithe" = churches that do not preach obligatory/mandatory tithing. A couple of observations: The use of "anti-tithe" for individuals is obviously an attempt to paint the challengers of the tithing doctrine negatively, effectively an ad hominem. To some extent, this is understandable in the sense that the tithing opponents can be said to be anti i.e. against tithe (though even that is not quite accurate!). The use of "anti-tithe" for "churches" is a deliberate or duplicitous chicanery because churches are not the ones as such contending the tithing doctrine. Rather what churches do is adopt a doctrinal stance and preach/practice that stance. What is more, there is no church that says if a giver chooses to give or make an offering of 10% they will not accept it! See how absurd it can get: Oyedepo does his slapping deliverance, is he pro-slapping? Are churches who don't do slapping "anti-slapping"? What about "pro anointing oil" versus "anti-anointing oil"? What about "pro-holiness" versus "anti-holiness" (make Deeper they fight Chris Embassy on that one). The arguments of the tithe-mongers on the biblical teaching are weak as is already well known. Their quest for "anti-tithe" churches is a puerile nonsense that is only worthy of such as tithe-mongers to be honest. 1 Like |
Re: Anti-tithe Churches by God2man(m): 12:03pm On Oct 10, 2013 |
Enigma: Pro-tithers and Anti-tithers. Pro-tither- supporting or appproving the doctrine of tithing. Anti-tither- opposed to or against the docrine of tithing. Op said churches that do not preach about tithe, you have added another vocabulary, "obligatory" "mandatory". There is a big difference between Pro and Anti, now, let me ask you, is there any church that has a doctrinal stand against Tithe? If you ask me, i will say no. Thank God, i am yet to see any church condemning tithe as you people condemn it on this forum, you criticized, castigate and went ahead to call men of God names like, thieves, fraudulent preachers, and so many absurd names. If we have churches preaching against tithe this way, there will be no problem, but it is difficult to see a church taking a doctrinal stand and stipulates that Tithe is a fraud. It is very difficult. If there is any, let me know. You also said those churches are already more than ten. Where are they? Too bad. God2man. According to the Op |
