hello my people,
I just moved to the south and the parish am attending lacks basic things like chairs, fans and windows, even the floor is not smooth but I have decided not to pay my tithe to the church but using it to get all these things at the end of the month to put the sanctuary in shape.
because I dont see the reason why tithes are packed to the national headquarter when the local church is in mess.

@op judging by the commandment, u have not pay ur tithe, even if u did all those things u mentioned. u c, man were not made to work like a robort, if God has blessed u, and u c a need for u to put one thing or d other in place like what u mention ealier. God will surely bless you. thats the way our Lord Jesus want us (christians) to be doing. when u discover some1 who is not capable, or well to do, u dont nds anybody to preach 2 u to asists him, which means u must b a caring person, den Jesus will b hapy wit u nd wil surely bls u. tithing has been nulify in d new testament, d day when Jesus died on d cross.

bros i dont seem to understand ur point..... do u mean it' s not right to use money meant for tithing to put things in plc in the house of God? afterall the bible states "bring ye all tithe into his house".
the reason behind my decision is, after paying all tithes in local churches they pack dem to the national head quarter which has been established in structure and facilities already.
and mind you, these local churches get little or no support from the so called provincial headquarters.

What he is trying to say is that christians are not supposed to tithe in the first instance.

Finally somebody is using his brain. meanwhile you are not under any obligation to pay tithe. God is not demanding it.
