In as much I am not into tithing and offer what I am comfortable with to support my Parish, I would question why one who is into it would be uncomfortable with paying it where he/she worships as that means he/she have reservations about the Church/Parish, then why do you still worship there?

LilMissFavvy:
As long as you pay your tithe and don't keep it for personal use, then it's okay. If you are in any gathering of the brethren, you can pay your tithe. God gave us freewill and the Bible portion says "bring ye the tithes into my house"......, (the church). Personally, I sometimes pay my tithe to any pastor when I see they have a need, especially the genuine upcoming ones who need help. I sometimes connect to Christian groups online, and atimes pay part of my tithe to them.

Angelfrost:


Even those scriptures above totally negate everything you posted above... Aren't you confused??!

"23 And thou shalt eat before Jehovah thy God, in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear Jehovah thy God always.

24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to set his name there, when Jehovah thy God shall bless thee;"

Besides, take a look at verses 27-29, as they throw more light on Tithing and those tithes were (Past tense) for:

"27 And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.

28 At the end of every three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:

29 and the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest."


Since we are on the subject of Old testament laws... How come many of you Christians don't obey this verse in the same scripture you lifted?

"4 These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the chamois.
6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof cloven in two, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the coney; because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you.
8 And the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you: of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch.
9 These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales may ye eat;"

Was it not Peter who was reprimanded by the Angel when he voiced out against eating these same things?

"14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.

15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common."

Non of this.

TheNobleProphet:
Humans should STOP putting pressure on themselves because GOD ALMIGHTY FATHER our CREATOR does NOT need your money!

All HE wants from us (human beings) is to "genuinely strive and live in accordance with HIS Holy Laws and by "genuinely making sincere/practical efforts to live in accordance with HIS Holy Will"!

The "original concept of tithing" is in Deuteronomy where the verse (Deuteronomy 14 vs 22 - 29 kjv) explicitly explained what tithing is all about which is primarily giving to the needy/less privilege particularly "widows and orphans!

From the above mentioned bible verse, it can also be noted that "tithing" is meant to be given to your fellow men/Neighbour whether you choose do it in The House of The LORD is your choice!

Tithing is NOT to be submitted to any "criminal pastor" as it is being practiced now which is very WRONG!

The above mentioned verse also "prescribe" that you can "tithe" with alcohol!

Don't let NO criminal pastor fool/manipulate you!

Free yourselves from their "false/twisted" doctrines!

Shalom!

... in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear Jehovah thy God always. The word place in v23 is referring to your place of worship which God dwell. That's where you pay your tithe

God understands that you truly want to pay your tithe but something came up, which prompted to paying half.

Card7:


What if you put it in a blank evelop without writing your name on it and all?

Shedrack777:
no one will know what you're earning unless of course you're the only one paying tithe or you always write your name on your envelop. stop using bank transfers to pay your tithe, always bring cash to pay it

sotall:


Enriching your fellow man while believing to reap from an unknown source is the definition of a fool and his money are soon parted.

Angelfrost:


I see how you conveniently avoided all the key pointers to your doctrinal beliefs from my submission earlier only to come up with this lame interpretation above...!


I understand... Raising money is not easy these days.

cybug:


And how do you pay your tithe?

You pay your tithe by eating it.


You left the other part of the verses that talked about how the tithe is paid

bassdow:


I see nothing bad there. After all, it all goes to God/god. 10% is 10% even if you choose to pay 3-times, or split it among 100 parishes / churches

Jewessgratitud3:
Is it right to split your tithe to different parishes if you don't want your parish to know how much you're earning? Will it still cumulate as tithe?

Is this a wrong or deceptive move?

Shedrack777:
on point! the best thing is to change parish since that church milk people dry once they know your earning. the parish won't jail him if he decides to quit them and join another church

Point of correction. They don't milk people dry. It's just me that wants to do it that way

Angelfrost:


How does it go to God?!! Your Bible clearly states that God doesn't delight in the sacrifice of Bulls and Rams??!

Even the tithing in Israel was directed at the Jews solely for the benefit of full-time God-ordained Priests who were forbidden from working and owning farms but to serve and eat strictly from the storehouses of the temples.

None of you present-day believers are Jews (Not One)... At best, you are gentiles allowed into God's promise by Grace.

If your church needs money for anything, then cheerfully donate to them without compulsion as The Bible clearly states that He loves those who give cheerfully.

Jewessgratitud3:


I'm not paying half. Splitting it into two to pay each halve in different parishes.

Jewessgratitud3:

They have the tithe record with everyones name written on it and ticked when you pay.

Even if you do a transfer you'll still need to indicate it there which will later be recorded.

Kenmatt:
Why wasting your money in the name of paying tithes?

Most of you claim you go to Church, you read and receive Bible teachings but you don't understand the teachings of Bible.

Just like Philip and the man he met near the River bank.
