Who Should Get My Tithe - The Church Or The Poor? by danduchi(m): 1:51pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
It felt so right giving it to the poor and deformed. The Bible says we should give it to the Church, but these less fortunate are God's children, right? And as the song goes, "whatsoever you do, to the least of my brothers, you do onto me". So who should the tithe be given to? 1 Like |

The Church. What the church now decides to do with it is less your concern. NB: if u thereafter feel liking stretching a helping hand to d less priveledged, u can do so frm d 90% left but d use of dat 10% sudnt b compromized 2 Likes 1 Share |

How much is your tithe that makes you think it will have impact on a poor person's life Afterall, It is 10 percent and unless you work in the top top posts, it isn't too substantial. However, If you and other Christians in your drop that 10 percent, it becomes very substantial indeed. Now, your church forwards part of the money to the HQ; Use some for the upkeep of the church and, believe it or not, actually use the remaining for Charity! That's the honest truth bro........... |

I am yet to come across one single scripture in the whole bible that remotely even begins to suggest we tithe of our income to the church or pastor. Not even the often touted malachi 3:10 suggests that except you twist and misapply the verse. 1 Like |

SirWere:I am firmly in support of tithe but your post is very very silly. What can't 10% of one's income do in a poor person's life? You don't need to work in 'top top posts'. If I collect 100k as salary, 10k is enough to make a difference. Little drops of water form the mighty ocean. Or are you insinuating the church will give one poor person 200,000 because everyone has contributed their 10% together? Pfft!!! No be only one poor person the church go use the tithe of many to help. 1 Like |

Annunaki:VERY INTERESTING PART IF THE SCRIPTURE U AV QUOTED BROV BUT LET ME QUICKLY CLEAR OUR UNDERSTNDING BOUT DAT PLACE I need u to understnd dat in the era wen d bible was written, der was nothing like "salary" or "monetary" increase. it was basically in form of farm produce and lifestock. nd u also understnd God dont eat such. Therefore wen dey offer there thite to God in the place God chooses IN FORM OF SACRIFICE OR PEACE OFFERING, (read vs23 thoroughly) den dey go bck nd eat the roasted animal dey offer to God. Remba how d story of God nd abram wen with isaac fr sacrifice nd d animal. wen d animal was offered God dint eat d flesh but abram nd his family did. Likewise in our dispensation, if u take ur tithe to church in monetry term (u av fulfilled ur part by payin it) now d pastor can now decide to buy food stuff fr d less priviledged in d church (dats d part if eating d tithe). d eatin sud b done by d church nt u. So basically pple of old dint eat der tithe, it was taken to God acknowledging him for d increase (spiritual) den eat d produce (physical) vs 22 xpressly stats tithing den vs 23 -29 states how it sud be done |

adedayourt: You are very wrong, monetary wages existed in the bible as far back as the book of genesis. Abraham had over 300 servants whom he paid wages and he also bought a piece of land with money as documented in the book of genesis. Monetary tithe from income doctrine is a modern day invention that was started in america just 120 years ago. 3 Likes |

openmine:deutoronomy 14:24-26 "But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the LORD your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the LORD will choose to put his Name is so far away), then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Notice the part below Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice." The bible didn't say take money to the temple, it only said convert whatever you have to money for easier carriage if you live far from the temple, and when you get there, use the money to buy whatever food or beverage you like and eat it there with your household. The bible didn't say you should give pastors money, so stop being scammed. Read www.tentmaker.org/books/ TheTitheisIllegal.html 1 Like |

adedayourt: The verse below proves that people were already earning salaries(wages) as far back as when the tithe law was given. Deut 24:15 Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poor and are counting on it. Otherwise they may cry to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin. |

juicee1: scam ke.. i guess you misunderstood me...please try to see the "subject matter" before rebutting... my response to that guy was because he said there was no exchange using money or payment of wages during the time of the law according to Deuteronomy 14:22-29 ...and i provided answers in that respect... If you know me well enough on the religion section,you should know am a non-tither...and that we have been blessed to freely give from our heart without compulsion ... hope my explanation is explicit enough for you.. |
