Now l know why you cant read anything longer than two sentences!
Your head is empty of "grey matter"!

Too bad.

chamboy: Why are Pastors being paid Salaries, is it an Occupation.

ceeceeco: why do churches have G.O(General Overseer), is it a company/business organisation? All pastors should be equal, there shouldn't be anytin like G.O. What is the meaning of daddy G.O.

dejilg: u mean I am the type dat gets u fretting? Well show me whom the Apostles paid tithes or where dey collected tithe and wen its been taught in the new testament! Engage meaningfully and don't dodge. Stay cool!

usmanspihn:

Yes he did, where he asked peter to get money from the mouth of the fishes. It wasn't for pizza

vicdayo: .

chamboy: .

Ok sir,....but am I supposed to pay tithe for the fear of financial hardship?...and is paying tithe the only means I can give?....wat if I see a brethren in need and I give out of goodwill or rather withhold that particular money and take it to the church to fulfil the custom and all righteousness by paying it as tithe? (Wit the faith and believe of getting blessed as I do)...Sir, which is more cheerful & honourable ?

Yomii: Those who make News don't make Noice; those who make Noice don't make news. If you like pay tithe and if you like don't pay tithe. All I know is as long as you are not a giver, you can never prosper.

tobietticom: Religious threads ..... Story for the gods.

But the funniest thing I have noticed is that the ones that don't pay tithe or give to the church are the same ones that are complaining and saying tithe is false or the pastor is getting rich...
No two individual in the world has the same fingerprint, which means everyone has the right to make his/her choices. 'So make yours and stop complaining about another person's own'.
"If your brother cannot father a child with his wife, you all know it is wrong to sleep with his wife to father a child for him".
So then, why are you worried negatively for tithers, it's their problem not yours. Why direct so much energy to something that isn't your problem.

Personally I think you are fighting a wrong fight, pour than nationalist and revolutionary spirit you have into the poor situation our country is in and let the church be. Tithes are free will, taxes are imposed without us seeing traces of development, the National revenue are not Utilised and a lot of politicians can also boast of Private Jets. So which one sounds right "Private Jets from money gotten from money people gave freely or Private Jets from the money stolen by politicians"

We all have to understand something about humans in general, once we start chasing or aiming for something and we fail to achieve or acquire that thing, we often tend to give-up and stop....
As a boyee, if you keep chasing a girl and she no gree or even you sign sey she go gree... Wetin you go do?? Jabo the girl abi.
its the same thing we are talking about, if the people paying tithe are not seeing results in their life then they would have stopped, we must all agree the rate at which people pay tithe have increased if not we won't have mega churches like we have today.

In life make sure you practice what works for you and don't criticise another man's own...
But permit me to explain some terms...

1. Tithes are just 10% not all. If you decide to give all then that's your choice.
2. Tithes are meant to be given to God through the Church not to the needy or the poor. 'God is God, He's not broke, He does not need your money to survive'
3. Tithing is not a requirement for salvation. Giving or not giving is not a requirement to make heaven. But if you want to enjoy your time on earth then you have to understand the concept of giving.
4. When you give make sure you reverence it to God, not to your pastor. The blessings are of God, its not of concern on what the money is being used for.

You are what you hear and your future depends on the way you listen, think and act.

NOTE: this is the view of a Nigerian boy that doesn't profess any kvof the religion of the world.

ednut1: ur nothing but a fool. i cant waste my time reading religious BS. dat wud change ntin. mtcheew. mr i too knw and mind you u will gain nothing doin research on religious tinz because most of d stories dont add up. so have faith and practice

handsomeness: Nice point Dazzlingd. Helping others through your tithe isn't advisable. Mal 3 emphasized this quite well. "Bring all the offerings and tithes to my storehouse". If you read that chapter properly, you won't see anywhere where it's written that you should give half.

arshavineering: you are in the city/town paying fat tithes to an already rich church that doesn't even know you exist, while your church in the village doesn't have even a roof over their head....daris God ooo!!!!

Yomii: Those who make News don't make Noice; those who make Noice don't make news. If you like pay tithe and if you like don't pay tithe. All I know is as long as you are not a giver, you can never prosper.

publicenemy: #Take me to the edge of hell and bring me back.
#take me to heavens gate and threaten to throw me back to hell
#Put a loaded gun to my head
#preach the bible ,kuran and all the religous book to me.

Will never give 10% of my earnings to an already rich set of people to make them richer and even go ahead to buy private jets and the likes.
I would rather give to the beggers and those in need.
The best and highly unlikely thing i can do is pay my tithe to a new and upcoming church to help them grow and the next time i go to another new and upcoming church.
But giving my tithe to an already rich church like redeem and winners and christ embassy...Never.

If this takes me to hell...well fine.The richest men in the world today are not christians and they dont pay tithe.

omonuan:

Matt. 17:24-27. Mind you, the bible never indicated whether Peter caught the fish and then saw the coin. Neither was it shown that Peter paid the taxes. The story was left hanging.Therefore no assumptions should be made.

dazzlingd:
Thanks for ur response, I once had a brethren whose mother was very sick and was hospitalised, he's som1 who believes in tithe and he's committed but the day he received his 1st salary was d same day his mum was rushed to hospital and he has to put down all of his salary at the hospital to save her witout taking a naira out of it not to talk of tithe...now how can u describe this case, this cud also come in different ways, perhaps, it cud ve been his brother, friend, neighbour etc whose life needed to be save at dat point

tunshe: Tithe is making the GOs and Pastors wealthier than Jesus 

Tithe is making the congregation poorer

Tithe is killing our labour force,our intelligent workforce abandon paid employment to establish church business

Tithe is polluting our streets,we now have 5 churches on a building and even shops are used for churches

Tithe is giving birth to funny church names like Give god and be blessed ministry
