Osumare2013: There are Churches who collects tithe for the welfare of its workers and the less privileged among them. I have no problem with those ones. Any system that takes from the masses to satisfy the greed of a few especially through deceit is PURELY EVIL. As for me, I willing to give in line with direction from the Spirit of God, but I DO NOT BELIEVE TITHES APPLIES TO ME, as Jesus expects even more from me to help the Church and Less Privileged. Thank you. 2 Likes |

OkaiCorne:i agree with you on the second statement but does not the bible speaks of wolves in sheep clothing? but that of course applies to ministers who knows the truth but manipulates it for their secret intention. but thanks be to God that all ministers are not as such. as you also noted in your first statement, you agreed with a system of tithing that is according to the principle and expectation of tithe but i will liketo add your understanding if you permit me to. 1. the church is not a charity organization though expected to do charity 2. the church is not a company although should seek the welfarism of the employees. the church are the called out ones to evangelize the world through the manifestation of God's power. this is the primary assignment of the church. charity and welfarism can either be secondary or serve as means to achieve the purpose. and that leads me to the question. 1. Are pastors expected to be rich. 2. if yes, how much riches can they have 3. if no, why? 4. what is your definition of greediness of pastors and how do one know that a pastor is greedy 5. what do you think tithe and offerings be used for? the reason for these question is because of the way you reacted, it seems to me that you are not happy about the way some pastors are rich. |

Osumare2013: If you are a follower of Christ, let him alone be the example. I will answer your questions 1. Did Jesus die rich or poor? Jesus did not need a sack of gold or silver like our Pastorpreneurs to be rich. He was rich by total dependence on God...who multiplied the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes AND also, provided a coin in the mouth of a fish. Being rich is not a function of how much money you have in your account. It is by having COMPLETE TRUST (a.k.a. faith) in the Eternal Creator who owns the cattles on a thousand hills (a.k.a the fleets of cars on a thousand highways). The emphasis on money in the modern church is very irritating. GOD IS NOT LIMITED TO MONEY. 2. My response to your first question should take care of this. 3. My response to your first question should take care of this. 4. Emphasis on money and material things. Unnecessary display of extravagance and opulence. Jesus could have entered Jerusalem on a chariot...but why did He use a Donkey? 5. Only God and the Pastorpreneurs know what they use tithes and offerings for. Thank you. |
