AdeolaOmoOba:


Since you know my Bible more than me, why not tell me what your own Bible says instead of whipping up sentiments.

Aaronsrod:


Only a fool would give money to the poor and the sick.

The Bile says they will always be with us. Most of them are sinners and are already hellbound.

For me and my family we will give instead to my pastor so I can make Heaven and sit and rule at the right hand of my Jesus eternally.

CharleyBright:


Who says you can't give your tithe to the Needy and poor??
Go and read Deuteronomy 26: 12-13 and come back and say that again. It is the Bible that said it, not me. Unless you want to say that that portion of the Bible is false.

This portion of the Bible is one the Pastor will never allow the congregation to know.

Deuteronomy 26: 12- 13- When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
13. Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:

NaijaHelper1:
The envelope the church goer has on him says offering and tithe.
If I recall correctly, offering is a whole hearted sacrifice you make to God and must not necessarily be given in the church while tithe is a compulsory payment made by the faithful to God for the growth of the church.
Following this logic, since he has his offering and tithe in the same envelope, he can simply take out the offering he could have given God in the church and give to the less privileged since the location does not matter, then go to church and submit his tithe.

Nezzjnr:

This is revealing

Kriss216:

So, Tithing is meant for the rich only

Religion has messed up our mentality in Nigeria.
For me, only fools rates religious laws above humanity

Kobojunkie:
What religious laws do you refer to?

Tecord1:
I don't have to spoon feed you. Even if i tell you, you will still want to argue. Hence the reason i asked you to do your own research. What you find out for your self while reading will be difficult for someone to convince you otherwise. This being said, go read up Deut 14:22-29, Deut 26:12-13, Neh 10: 38, mal 3:10.

the onest that render peoples' brain functionless..

AdeolaOmoOba:


So, as wise as you are, these scriptures you've quoted in your own eyes asked the Levites to give tithes to the poor abi? Levites! Not the everyday Israelites o! Levites!! Wiseman Wey get spoon but no fit spoon-feed himself with the correct understanding of scriptures but thrash and biased self-styled interpretation just for clout-chasing.

izzou:


The Tithe is just 10% of what he has earned.

The guy can still help them without using his tithe

Make dem hold am well well for trousers. E still get money well well

AdeolaOmoOba:



Say person get big head (heady, oversabi) or say person sabi many scriptures (I too know), or even say person dey follow Daddyfreeze gang, NO mean say e get understanding wey reach 1 tin of milk. Why not sit with the Bible yourself and read it out loud, so that you can get its contextual/overarching meaning. This one Wey everyone want turn Mumu on top another Mumu mata.

You quoted scriptures that you definitely never read. Maybe you even did bible search on Android phone for them, Na who know for you?

erico2k2:

Even the pope do not pay 10% of what he earns

Analyst7:
You can help the poor in ur own capacity but ur tithe isn't meant for the poor

izzou:


It doesn't matter.

That man is holding 10% of what he has earned. He still has 90% to give to anybody.

Giving the 10% to God or anybody is not the reason we have poor people in our country

emmyileri:
What if it's your exam fees and not your tithe this time around, would you still give it? Tithe is tithe, alms is alms, offering is offering..all these fall into the categories of given

Prenonjebose:

The wisdom of giving leads to receiving. He would surely make a way for you, same way He made it possible for you to give to both causes

Constanttruth:
You are going to Nepa office to pay your bills and you notice a NEPA pole almost falling down, you have only your NEPA bill and a little change with you, you call some people to fix the pole so it didn't fall and pay them with the Nepa bill in your hand. Does that settle your bill?

But Jesus promised the kingdom of heaven in this instance and not earthly riches

Why must he dip hands in his 90% again when he can actually give the 10% to the person that needs it the most (the needy).
