I Gave My Tithe To My Father Who's In Need. Have I Done Something Wrong? by Abbeylanre15(m): 5:13pm On Oct 25, 2020 |
Good Evening and Happy Sunday to Everyone. I've been having difficulty in clearing my mind based on what happened last month. I got a call from my Dad some days to the end of the month that he's in need of some money. Coincidentally, it's the same amount as my tithe. I've always tried to pay my tithe on monthly basis even tho I'm always left with 2k after my monthly contribution, paying back of loan I obtained in office, and my tithe. Thanks to the tips I get from work upon I'm sustaining on. So I gave my tithe to my Dad last month when I can't money from another source and the old man needs it badly. The question is HAVE I DONE SOMETHING BAD? |

After paying your tithe every month, you’re left with just 2K? Means you’re indirectly working for your pastor. That’s slavery! You need new sense! |

I don't pay tithe so I don't know because logically with my human brain, I can't process the things of the spirit...... |

If you give those in need this often, you are doing better than those enriching pastorpreneurs. |

mdbabah2020:Dat means on ur own path u are selfish. U cant even give to the poor talkless about the needy that are living around u. Ur selfishness has eaten u dat u cant remember the man who brought u into dis world. So now u are saying dat d guy shud nt give his dad money because it is his tithe. I really pity u; u have no heart at all. D guy gave his dad out of d love he had for his dad n u said dat he shud give it to his pastor when his dad is urgently in need of money. Did u even think before u wrote this. Pls dnt take offence in what im saying and i am sori if wat im writing has offended u in anyway. |

it's written in the bible, if your home affairs are not in order, do not pay tithes or offerings to God or the church, the Christian doctrine forbids it, this law wasn't thought to you because you were being milked dry by someone who has brainwashed you for his own interests, paying your tithes to your father or mother (especially mothers) is a super highway to properties, it's like 20G compared to 2G |

Uyi168:Tithing As Taught Today Is A Corrupted Teaching And Not The Same As Biblical Tithing. God gave the tithes to the Levites as an inheritance in return for their service and to compensate them for having no personal inheritance of land. The Levites gave tithes to the Priests from the tithes they received. Christianity has no agrarian system, no Levites and every Christian is now a priest, the temple and co-workers with Christ. [ 1 Peter 2:5 and 1 Peter 2:9 , Rev. 1:6 , Rev. 5:10 and Rev. 20:6 ] Every Jew was required by the Levitical law to pay three tithes of his property: one tithe for the Levites; one for the use of the temple and the great feasts; and one for the poor of the land [ Numbers 18 , Deuteronomy 14 ] |

You are wrong to blackmail God with 10%. You had 9 other 10% but choose to use that meant for God. |

Abbeylanre15: Mandated tithing teaches ALL these people are to give 10% or be "cursed." This is nonsense. The living expenses must be responsibly handled pursuant to Scripture and the money that one spends on the sick or needy is certainly part of "the work of Christ." Anyone who says otherwise is legalistic, inconsiderate, immature, or greedy. When you meet the needs of others you are doing it unto Christ. [ Matthew 25:31-46 ] Blind, inconsiderate RULES OF LAW regarding amounts is NOT what New Testament Giving is all about! When Paul spoke of giving he was always clear it wasn't a commandment or law. [ 2 Corinthians 8:8 ] Christ and Paul made clear the sacrifice was more important than the amounts. [ Mark 12:42-44 2 Corinthians 8:1-5 2 Corinthians 8:12 ] Christ taught freedom from obligatory giving. [ Matthew 17:24-27 ] Tithing was a part of the Law of Moses under the legal economy of Israel. It does not apply to the Church today, since we are under grace and not the law ( Romans 6:14; 10:4 ). Therefore, we are obligated to give first our bodies and souls as living sacrifices in reasonable service to God ( Romans 12:1-2 ). The New Testament teaches proportional giving according to what we have, not what we don't have ( 2 Cor. 8:12 ). If we can only give 5% as the Lord leads, so be it. It is not how much you give that matters to God, but the attitude and motive which you are giving from. This is the concern of the New Testament with regard to giving, rather than measuring the amount that is given (see 2 Cor. 8-9 ). |

Abbeylanre15:OP where in the gospels did Jesus Christ, or even His apostles, tell you that you must pay tithe? Where are you told to give to pastors? Second, Jesus Christ said, "whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me". Now, we have to figure out who Jesus Christ meant are "the least of these" ... the ones that Jesus Christ said you should do for. According to Matthew 25 vs 31 to 40, Jesus Christ declares that those who do not have...i.e. the hungry, the naked, the sick, the homeless, the thirsty, the prisoners.... are the least of these. |
