It's a 2 way thing.
I'm not against Tithing if you key into it.
I'm only against pastors who preach you're not a Christian or you can't make it to heaven if you do not tithe.

It's ok if you ignore the beggar/poor some times and do that which is more important. Jesus preached this. John 12:8
.
But it's important to help the beggar/poor when you can.

This is where maturity in Christianity plays out.
Tithing is not necessarily a Christian thing, giving is. Giving to the church and the poor.
Cos tithing is an Old covenant. But Christianity is hinged on a greater covenant

Pastors agree that the old covenant is no longer as good as the new except only when it comes to tithing.

What makes you think he is richer than the so called beggar? because he is putting on tie and dress neatly and have envelope on him? Don't be surprised that the so Called beggar might have more money than him. begging is a profession today, give him 1000000 the next day you will still see him there.

I should carry my 10 percent and give him while the government that rakes money in billions should looks away.

DaveDGreat:


I am a Christian but I'll tell you that you're very stupid for this (emphasis on the stupid).

Kobojunkie:
Is the church the envelope is meant for poorer than the man with the envelope?

erico2k2:

you forget the fact that he could have already spent 90% of his 90% on his family
9ja with religion shaaa

Nothing in that picture proves he has spent that. I like to stick to the context

If you were going to your son's school to pay his fees, and a neighbor asks you for half of the amount to treat his ailing mother, would you give him? I'm sure you wouldn't

If you were going to pay your electricity bill of 5000 to avoid disconnection, and one almajiri asks you for money to eat, would you give him out of it? Obviously no.

Nothing in that picture depicts that he can't help them. He's only holding 10% of his earnings.

You guys should look for another picture to make it make sense. This one no fly at all

Princewell2012:


I don't subscribed you calling him stupid instead you can lecture him. What I didn't like about his statement is about giving to his Pastor. maybe he was being sarcastic. when I pay or give God his own portion am not giving it to my pastor but to God,. The money belong to God and not to pastor, God pays all the workers in his vineyard including the pastor. let this mind be in every Christian, a man who loves God does not ague about tithe or what ever you called it. They even give it willingly and cheerfully. lol I used to do that before can you imagine how foolish I was then. but now I will not be happy any time I did not do it. So tithing is not for everybody it is strictly for those who fear and love God , which for my own understanding supposed to be for Christian and not unbelievers.

God bless you.

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.

AdeolaOmoOba:


However, if you don calm down, when you are no longer full of yourself and are ready to learn, we go explain am give you. We go even tell you the true shortcomings of today's pastors on a global scale in relation to the Tithing mandate. Not all these thrash flying around, but quit your foolishness first. Quit your errant philosophy and hyper-Gnostic standpoint of libertinous interpretation of scriptures.

Tecord1:
okay o. Thank you sir. Where did i tell you that its the duty of levites to give tithe to the poor. As you no fit read and understand the bible, i no fit follow you argue. No place was it written in the scriptures i stated that levites should give tithes to the poor. In Neh 10:38 it states that the levites are to take the 10% of the tithes and store in the store house

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.

Kobojunkie:
You asked what if the beggar is poorer than the man with the envelope,which and I asked if the man with the envelope is richer than the church company he intends it for?

I live in Chicago

The rule is clear. Matthew 5 vs 42 which is repeated in Proverbs 3 vs 28. If your neighbor ask you for something you have in your hands, don't say "come back tomorrow", give it to him.

emmyileri:

You see your display of hypocrisy now, is it tithe alone you must give out when somebody ask you for alms,are there no other money with you?? I know your ignorance didn't allow you to read what I type. Meanwhile I thought you said you only recognized the four gospels, that every other part of the Bible is is not valid. You are truly sick.

Kobojunkie:
It is good to properly comprehend what is written .... that is how you learn what God really is saying to you.

The rule is clear. Matthew 5 vs 42 which is repeated in Proverbs 3 vs 28. If your neighbor ask you for something you have in your hands, don't say "come back tomorrow", give it to him.

Notice, it doesn't say there that it matters what it is you have in your hands. I am not the one who gave this command, Jesus Christ did so any problems you have with it, you should take it up with Jesus Christ.

emmyileri:

you are only repeating what you type earlier, I was expecting something new from you. Meanwhile how many have asked you something and you give it to the person right away.
You need to go back and learn the scripture, those who are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God. John 12:5 remind me of a person like you who live by hypocrisy.

Now I understand, I rest my case on this. Initially I want to be avoiding your foolishness on this platform, but by God's grace, I'll be ready to give you your reply henceforth. As long as darkness can never overcome light, you will be hearing from me every time you display your devilish and heresy conversations here.

Princewell2012:
OK. hmm I said the so called beggar might be richer than the guy with envelope. Begging is a profession today in Nigeria. I know what am saying. give him 1 million now the next day you will still see him on the road or he he changes his location. That's how it been done over here.

why should I Hand over my tithe to the Beggar.

If anyone needs money if he think church is a charity organization, let him go to church at the end of the service the pastor can you his initiative and do the needful our pastor also do that. At least the most important things is they will will be able to hear the word of God which will the capacity to transform their lives. God bless you sir.

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, (Mal 3:10a).If my spirit man give them money I will give them not my tithes
