When pro-tithers are ready to show us where God specifically mentioned money as part of the items to be tithed, then they should know that monetary tithing is unscriptural.




When God required money for the needs of the Temple, He specifically mentioned where all Israelite males should be levied a temple tax of half a shekel every year. That was an instance of God clearly asking for money.


BASED ON THE ABOVE, IT WAS CLEAR WHEN & HOW GOD ASKED FOR MONEY TO MAINTAIN THE TEMPLE...




NOW LET US EXAMINE GOD'S REQUIREMENT FOR TITHES BELOW;



Based on the above verses, God clearly mentioned what is titheable, and money was not part of the items to be tithed.

IN CONCLUSION:
Any fraudster that comes with the excuse that money was not in use because the Israelites were predominantly farmers and cattle rearers...should read Exodus 30 v 13-16 and explain to us why God demanded money from these same Israelites...but specified crops and livestock as tithes in Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29;

Also, I'll be waiting for scriptural references where God made tithing mandatory for gentiles as well.

The church will pay bills.

They have electricity, water, rent, transport, maintenance, laundry e.t.c

If the members don’t fund, how will a church survive?

I am against tithing, but supporting the church is not a sin and it’s not mandatory.

1. Did Jesus Christ command any of His followers to build what you call your churches in His name, to begin with?

2. Did Jesus Christ send any of His followers out to pay electricity, water, rent, transport, maintenance, laundry, etc., using His name to solicit money to do so?

3. Did Jesus Christ give any of His followers permission to use His Name in soliciting donations of any kind from others, even those who belong to His flock?

Jesus died for everything!


He does not need your money!


You can support God ministry with money, but it’s silting saying you giving God money while a mere man is spending it

Any human who believes that whoever made this universe will need ANYTHING from a human is a Big Idiot.

Only a fool will give MONEY to a human being and think in his mind that he has given the money to God.

MaxInDHouse:
In the Old Covenant the Tabernacle and Temple were built by humans so the monetary tithing was introduced to maintain the worship in the system but in the New Covenant that was not built by humans the tithing God demanded is not monetary! John 2:19

Christ is the New temple and members of the congregation are his BODY or BUILDING {Ephesians 4:12} so the maintenance of the temple doesn't need monetary tithing, it has been CHANGED! Hebrews 7:11-12

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

Freezer is WRONG

It is specifically stated in the new testament that giving tithe is not a sin, instead Jesus condemned those that prefer to tithe when their heart is not pure and there are other weightier issues, HE specifically said "you cannot focus on one aspect and neglect the other"

Matthew 23:23 (KJV) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Luke 18:12 (KJV) I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

Hebrews 7:5-9 (KJV) And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:


Jesus specifically said that HE did not come to abolish the LAW nor condemn it, but to fulfill it.

treatise:

Giving to the works of Jehovah is evidently rewarding but wiring the minds of the adherents with tithing/tithe shares semblance with communist ideals. Best comment on the thread. So many clowns here just quotingscriptures probably written by people,whose identity we can't even verify.
The tithing system is an aberration designed by the smartest yet unproductive elements of the society(god of men) to plunder the more productive but helplessly sheepish members of the society. Communism is accurately captured in current modern church system. A
so called man of God has created a system where he can't be challenged so as not offend 'God'. A scam of a practice,a shame and a way to keep us from livingfree. I chose rationality and will do my best to cure every one I find from the forced indoctrination and programming that religion operates in.

Kobojunkie:
Those of you who pay tithes/taxes in the name of Jesus Christ deny yourselves sonship with God by your acts of disobedience
As Jesus Christ made clear, the Children of God do not pay taxes/Tithe in His name. So, do we ignore Jesus Christ so we can instead follow the doctrines and traditions of men(and their churches) instead?
