Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Tithe is not just a law but a principle, the law of tithe says pay 1/10 of your earning to the priest.
The principle of tithing is that we should not allow the work of God to suffer we should invest carnal things into the things of God.
Hence paying 1/10th is a principle, it is the minimum we give, the early Christians gave all they have to the apostles.

Which of the people complaining about tithe can give all they have? If they cannot give 1/10th (minimum) how can they give all?

Jesus never abolish giving and if the church agree on tithe, then it is signed in heaven.
Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

Most people don't understand that the church have power, when the church agree on something, Jesus automatically agrees with it, and anyone against it is on his on her own. In as much as it is good, and honorable it is settled.
James has this to say,
James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

For those against tithe, there is one question for you?
Is tithing a good thing or not?
Does it elevate the work of God or not?

If you know it is good and elevate the work of God and you are against it, according to James you have sinned.

Don't be decieved by God haters and christ rejecters, whatever a man sow that shall he also reap

your logic is running counter clockwise, you put your money into what gives you value.
Pastors bring value into the lives of their members as vessels of God therefore they deserve to be fed by their members.

Tithe is a commonsense thing those against the growth of the church like to attack to stall Gods work. Without it, where will congregants sit? Where will sound and IT system come from? Buildings for meeting to share the word? Funds to support the widows, orphans or disabled?
Even shadowy groups with no official scripture do use their commonsense and contribute for the sake of their basic common needs. Why shouldn't Christians do it when they can see the biblical examples and its effects on the quality their gathering place and gatherings?

In that scripture, a curse is placed on the defaulters, and you say it is free will.

Do you even know what it means for something to be free-will?
It means, you are free to choose the option of not paying without any harm or curse

THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHE.

Introduction: If your pastors say giving the needy, widows, orphans 10% of your income is not tithe, that you must pay it to him, then you are attending a business centre, not a church.

Malachi is the favourite book most pastors use to preach tithe. And it is very obvious, they use it because it contains a curse for those who don't pay it. Therefore, it is the 'best' verse used to brainwash Christians.

If you want to preach tithing, preach all verses related to it. Most of these men of God know the other verses but the only one they preach to their audience is Malachi. The sheep they are leading are even lazy to read their own bibles to see the truth for themselves. Note that quarter of truth is no truth, truth must be whole. Don’t add, don't remove.

Tithing is an Old Testament concept, just like circumcision and animal sacrifice. Things Christians were meant to abide to have validations from New testament after death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nowhere tithe was clearly instructed in the New Testament after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The New Testament focuses on giving without compulsion. 2 Corinthians 9:7 captured it very well “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver".

If you believe in tithing, then you should see other verses of the bible to know how it was applied thousands of years ago. Tithes were not for gentiles, it was for the Jews. Tithes were for the Levites, descendants of Levi. How many of your Pastors that preach Malachi to you are descendants of Levi?

There is a particular portion of the bible most pastors will never preach to you, and that can be found in Deut 14.22-29. Tithe was instructed to be given to the strangers, orphans, widows etc. How many pastors can boldly tell their members to give their tithes to widows and those in need?

This tithe matter is unending!

Why is it man always speaking for this supposed God? Man telling fellow men to pay tithe... On behalf of God...

Which Kain wahala be this?

The principle of tithing started way before the law was introduced.
If you decide not to tithe it is your cup of tea,
Free will giving, means you are not forced but expected of you to do the right thing, if you sow little you recieve little, if you don't give at all you don't receive.

When you tithe God will rebuke the devourer, so that you can receive your harvest, if you don't give, you are not entitled to recieve hence the devourer will devour the fruit of your ground.

2 Corinthians 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

Comparing tithing to circumcision is one of the most ignorant, argument against tithing?

In the new testament circumcision is done in the spirit not physical.

We are talking of practical application, tithe is very beneficial to the church, it does not matter how it was done under the law, the church now decied how it should be done to the glory of God. The fact is tithing is a principle that began before the law was introduced even if t was done under the law t makes no difference.
However when it comes to salvation, tithing or not tithing does not save anybody. There is no law that can save anybody only faith in christ alone.

Tithe was never paid with money anywhere in the Bible. Scammers in the pulpit have changed it to money.

If you understand money and its purpose, you won't be talking like this. So you expect a tomato seller to bring her tomato tithe to church instead of money. If everyone does that then the church offering basket will be a mess. Money answereth to thing or, to put in a simpler form, facilitates the exchange of things. That makes tithing money a commonsense issue.

Ha, you have spoken terribly here. Go and look at Exodus 26, you would see that Moses stopped receiving from the people when he had obtained all he required, so a pastor can not be driving Rolls Royce when the people in the community are hungry and homeless.

And it is this action which made Christianity overtake our pagan and traditional practices.

Taking from the poor to give to the already rich..... Jesus will not collect from the poor instead Jesus said let the rich give to the poor.......
