Yes they most pay also. Everyone should pay as long as you are a Christian. The kind of priesthood we have now is different from what we have then. The Levi at that time were instructed by God not to take an inheritance. God said that I will be your inheritance. Another words, their blessings and prosperity was directly tired to God. Then God instructed the rest tribes to bring some certain items to the Levi. The priesthood continue in the New testament but with different module and different mandate. |

fuckJones: Seriously? I guess that's why there's a list of the wealthiest Gods. Does your God spend your tithes and offerings in heaven to pay for electricity and buy a big house and petrol his Benz and invest some to be richer too, I wonder.

Indelibleage:Refrain from lying please. Even Apostles of Christ have their own professions apart from being Ministers of God. I believe you've read it that Paul made it clear to a church that he's a tent maker? 1 Like 1 Share |

fuckJones: The above you quoted is not in relation to Tithe giving but with respect to offering submission. Nevertheless, there are categories of Pastor(s), kindly permit. One are those who are the General Overseers of the Ministry the Lord gave them and there are those who are Pastors who are shepherds of the local church assembly within any Ministry. Now the General Overseers are supposed to pay Tithes and also pay Tithes of Tithes....... depending on how each one understands the Scripture and his work with God and i believe they also know whom/where to give the Tithe just as Abraham knew whom to give his Tithe. All other Pastors working within any particular ministry pay their Tithes to their respective churches. I think if not all ministries , they deduct the tithes from the amounts given to the Resident Pastors before payment (allowances/wages) depends on what name ia given to it. |

fuckJones:. No where in the Bible is the tithe compulsory for chritians.! It is voluntary for chrstians . A christian can even pay more than tenth. As for the Isrealites it was compulsory to pay tithes. Priests and other working in the temple also made contributions to the house of God . However the Mosaic Law did not make it compulsory for them to pay thithe.The tithe was used for their upkeeps and maintenance! |

Terrible ideas about tithe! How come christians of this age reject every LAW of the old testament except the LAW of tithe? Neither Christ nor any of his apostles left us with any LAW about tithing in the New testament yet your pastor of today has convinced you that you are cursed without tithing. You must be very daft. Starting from Christ up to the last of his apostles, they only preached bountiful giving among the faithfuls, admonishing that whoever giveth sparingly shall receive scantily. Indeed, the Faith and conviction of the early faithfuls was so great that most of them gave EVERYTHING! The big question is WHAT WAS THEIR GIVING USED FOR!!! The giving of the new testament as exemplified by the original faithfuls was for WELFARE OF THE BRETHREN and not for any fancy funny PRIEST as your thieving pastors of today want you to believe. How daft can you be!!! Did you not read that every believer of the new testament is a Priest and a King? True believers are a royal priesthood with only CHRIST as the HIGH PRIEST. To your misguided question - every pastor is supposed to work hard and be a contributor to a general purse which is meant to cater for the NEED and welfare of fellow faithfuls who are challenged in one form or the other. You are a generation of thieves who have turned the house of God to a market and used the name and word of God for criminal self aggrandizement. You will all be judged!!! 1 Like |

Some texts in the bible were specifically restricted to the people of Israel. If anything was to include the entire world, it is mentioned, tithe therefore, is not meant for all christians, but for the Israelites. Thank you. |
Re: Should Pastors And Their Family Members Tithe? by Shawl001(m): 5:30pm On Oct 29, 2023 |
Of course, they have too. Tithing is not for "some people". Its for every believer, who has a relationship with God. The Pastor will prosper by his own giving...not what he's given. |

When it comes to tithe they remember Malachi in Old Testament but when it comes to Polygamy they exclude Old Testament and dwell only on New Testament . Justice for Old Testament. 1 Like |

Tithe is godly, and everyone must give tithes as commanded by God. Pastors and church leaders inclusive. |
Re: Should Pastors And Their Family Members Tithe? by Mayeldah(m): 5:46pm On Oct 29, 2023 |
I am a Christian, I don't believe in tithing and I don't tithe anymore. I am doing fine and things are not tight for me. I give to the needy and other church needs. I bless my Pastor as I am led. Don't let anyone deceive you, you are not robbing God or anybody if you don't tithe. Pay your offerings, support God's work but don't let anyone decide for you how to spend your income |

Yess naa.. That makes for accountability, transparency, and responsibility. It's like asking whether the “Chairman and Financial-Secretary” of an organisation should be paying the dues of an organisation. |

Godsownfc:MALACHI 3:10 (New International Version): "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it". |

Lingudy:And so?? I said this is an old thing and CHRISTIANS are no longer under any old law to pay tithes as in the old testament. Jesus came to the world and he said 'its finished ' |
Re: Should Pastors And Their Family Members Tithe? by Lingudy(m): 6:07pm On Oct 29, 2023 |
Godsownfc:Tithing is an Old Testament concept. YES. The tithe was a requirement of the Law in which the Israelites were to give 10 percent of the crops they grew and the livestock they raised to the tabernacle/temple - see Leviticus 27:30; Numbers 18:26; Deuteronomy 14:24; 2 Chronicles 31:5. In fact, the Old Testament Law required multiple tithes—one for the Levites, one for the use of the temple and the feasts, and one for the poor of the land—which would have pushed the total to around 23.3 percent. Some understand the Old Testament tithe as a method of taxation to provide for the needs of the priests and Levites in the sacrificial system. |
Re: Should Pastors And Their Family Members Tithe? by Lingudy(m): 6:10pm On Oct 29, 2023 |
ejimatic:They pay tithes too. Tithes were awarded to the Levites for their priestly service because they would not receive land in Canaan see: Num 18:19-21. They, too, gave a tenth of what they received (v. 26). |
Re: Should Pastors And Their Family Members Tithe? by Godsownfc(m): 6:13pm On Oct 29, 2023 |
Lingudy:The modern practice of church tithing is not supported by the teachings of scripture. Church tithing began in the late nineteenth century when a Wesleyan Church in Cincinnati hosted multiple fund-raising events to erase its enormous debt.Fledgling on the brink of bankruptcy and devoid of options, a layman came up with the idea of, “storehouse tithing.” It was an instant success and soon the news spread like wildfire throughout Christendom and the practice of storehouse tithing caught on. |
Re: Should Pastors And Their Family Members Tithe? by Godsownfc(m): 6:15pm On Oct 29, 2023 |
Lingudy:At the time, it seemed the answer to the debts and financial woes of churches whose church members gave indiscriminately. Today storehouse tithing is a deep-rooted tradition that is promoted on a regular basis by clergy men that misuse the context of Malachi 3:8-11. Pastors insist that every church member is obliged (as a matter of righteousness) to pay 10% of his or her gross income. In addition to the tithe that church members give, most churches teach that a, “freewill offering,” over and above the 10% tithe should be given to again to the church or any charitable cause, with the stipulation that his or her “local church” is always to receive the “tithe.” |
