In other words, poor people no dey attend Church

why should i tell him, na him help me huzzle the money?

izzy4shizzy:
I have been thinking about paying of tithe and I have been caught in between two thoughts, now is paying of the 1/10th of ur earnings to the church that is referred to as tithe only or paying that 1/10th to some other purpose which u feel more satisfied with..

For example, would it also be tithe if I give my tithe to someone sourcing for funds to treat a terminal illness?

Because sometimes, I don't really think the church needs my tithe but they stress so much about paying. Now the million dollar question is, is it paying of tithe i.e one tenth of ur earnings generally to whatever purpose you see fit or paying it to the church

paxonel:
The poor deserves the money more than the church, give it to the poor

EmpresFIDEL:
if you are a Christian you should understand that, in numbers 18 vs 21 it Say's "

What made you think your pastor will permit you, you made pastors your god when you seek them for every decision you take, there is God in you that directs you, seek Him and He will direct you not your pastor, your pastor is a human being like you

Learnstuffs:


Story. All these churches been opened daily, is it God that instituted them? I will rather give my money to charities and the poor than to any charlatan in the name of the church. If you like use all the scripture to backup your scam

paxonel:
numbers 18 vs 21 isn't christianity therefore it is not for christians.

Christianity in the bible begins from the book of act of the apostles

Am SHOCKED that such question can exist when there is so MUCH KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD OF GOD everywhere.

Is the organisation GOD'S REPRESENTATIVE INSTITUTE?

Your funny question is like a university of Lagos Medical student asking if he can write exam in any other university with the same department.

I am really shocked at your question but I guess you are not really serious.

When you MARRY, so do show love to your wife or to all wives in the world?

GOD IS ONE, GOD HAS A SYSTEM AND PLACE WHERE HIS WORSHIPERS ASSEMBLE, IT IS CALLED THE CHURCH..... It would be confusion for the same God to have different means of Approach because it would mean He is not consistent with His nature. Also, TITHE is really not an ISSUE as daddy freeze and others have been barking about... TITHE BEGAN BEFORE THE LAW even in the book of Genesis.... so it is NOT a question OF WHETHER TO PAY OR NOT.... it is simply a system of how God's GOVERNMENT WORKS.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD is a REAL KINGDOM and every KINGDOM has taxes and levis BUT It seems that we have outgrown the KINGDOM system and forgotten it exists simply because we are under a PRESIDENTIAL RULE. NONETHELESS, God is not mocked, and PAYING TITHE or NOT PAYING will not guarantee you a place in heaven,

SO PLEASE STUDY YOUR BIBLE TO CONFIRM WHAT I HAVE SAID, so that no one will come here with MINDLESS CHATTER without scriptural references. WE DO NOT SERVE A KING BY THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS OR EMPATHY OR SYMPATHY.... WE SIMPLY FOLLOW THE LAID DOWN PRINCIPLES OF HOW HE WANTS TO BE SERVED.

TITHE IS NOT A DONATION, NEITHER IS IT ALMS or GIFT

chivic:



Is just like saying that the poor need your tax than government. Let's be careful with the gospel we preach.Ofcause your statement seems good and logical ,but things of God can't be logically applied

EmpresFIDEL:
hahahaha seriously? my dear you are very far behind.

castro316:


Let me ask you a simple question.
Is Jesus Christ God?

paxonel:

IMASTEX:
Being a christian itself is by choice. If no religious body or persons dictated how & where you got the income. Why should the way you spend it be an issues or subject of questions to others. The issue of tithing or not tithing has been over flogged.

EmpresFIDEL:
if old testament is not connected to our Christian life, them why is it part of the Bible?

EmpresFIDEL:
no, I don't make pastor my God, tithe is like a salary given to pastors and other full time workers in the church. given your tithe to someone else you are indirectly using the salary of your pastor. so telling your pastor 1st b4 using it is a sign of humility. every sensible pastor will bless you for even doing that and probably add to what you are giving to that person. the Bible says by their fruit you shall know them, if your pastor refuse then you aught to decide by your self if that pastor is truly a man of God. because the second greatest commandment is to love our neighbour as our selves, so why can't we help our neighbour if we aught to love them as our selves? but if you know you can help that person with other means instead of using the tithe, then do so.. for thou shall not tempt God.

tithe are to be paid to the church but offering can be given out.

Realisticallyme:
Tithe is an outdated levites Old Testament doctrine just the same way sacrifices of sheep and lamb is outdated.
Who goes to mountain for burnt offerings again?
Whts the meaning of “old things has passed away” ?
Helping the needy As the Bible said pleases God.

Hotfreezer:


Alaye, shut up.

Tithes was for Levites, is your Gentile pastor a Levite?
Tithes were paid in a Theocracy, is your country a Theocracy?
Tithes were a tax on income, don't you pay your income tax?
Tithes had a formula for sharing it, it wasn't all to be gobbled up by the priests, is your tithe-collector following the formula?

The day you read your Bible, you'll come back to delete this nonsense you typed up here.

paxonel:
thank God you used the word connected, meaning something is connecting two different things.
For your information, the only thing that connect the old covenant from the new covenant is the fact that it is one God giving the covenants.
The old covenant which includes tithing terminates with Jesus christ.
Or was there anywhere Jesus christ bothered christians in the new testament with tithing ?

You people will go and extract laws in the old testament saying it is the same bible meanwhile old testament was Torah not bible or is it because the two books(Torah and bible )are combined to form what is known as bible today ?
The reason for the combination was to let us know where christianity is coming from and differentiate it from the old covenant when we read.

stagger:
Tithe is paid to the church where you receive spiritual instruction. It is not paid to the needy and certainly not paid to a pastor or man of God.

Giving is a 5-fold ministry.
a) Tithe - 10% of your increase or income.

From your 90%, you can then give as follows:

- to your parents
- to a man of God (prophetic offering), which ideally is given once in a while.
- to the poor and needy.
- chruch offering during services.

Of these last 4, giving to your parents in my mind should carry more weight than giving to the poor or prophetic offering.

Paying your tithe comes with a blessing only God can give, which is protection of your finances (rebuking the devourer). A poor man cannot offer that.

It is better you ask God for yourself and receive an answer in that regard.
