Is Tithe Paying Compulsory? by Nobody: 5:29pm On Nov 19, 2015 |
Is tithing really mandatory? Although I knw its importance buh I guess I just don't like the idea being mandated or obligated to do something. I can give freely no qualms. I know that when Christ came He abolished some old laws, emphasized others. Buh how bout tithing? I once asked a pastor n challengeed him and he promised to get back to me till date. I have been wondering, did Christ really emphasise it? Someone pls help, sometimes I feel like am jus looking for excuses. Let's check this please Tithing, like other old covenant rules and rituals, was a law at the time Jesus spoke. Jesus criticized the Pharisees not for tithing, but for treating tithing as more important than mercy, love, justice and faithfulness. The only other New Testament mention of tithing is in Hebrews. The fact that Abraham was blessed by and gave tithes to Melchizedek illustrates the superiority of Melchizedek and Jesus Christ over the Levitical priesthood (Hebrews 7:1-10). The passage then goes on to note that “when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also” (verse 12).There was a change of the priesthood from the Levites to Jesus Christ, and this implies a change in the law that assigned the Levites to be priests. How much has been changed? Hebrews says that the old covenant is obsolete. The package of laws that commanded tithes to be given to the Levites is obsolete. Humans should honor God by voluntarily returning some of the blessings he gives them — this is still a valid principle. The only place that a percentage is required is within the old covenant. There is good precedent for tithing before Sinai, but no proof that it was required. 1 Like |

In my opinion, tithing is important. Though some people pay tithe, yet they commit terrible sins. Only GOD will judge. |

Hmmm...Yes! If there is no Old Testament, there can't be New Testament. Even Jesus said that what is meant for Caesar should be given to Caesar. |

Paying Tithe is an investment in God's Kingdom. If one invest rightfully one would reap bountifully. Within six month of my paying Tithe rightfully and completely God rewarded me beyond my imagination or wisdom. |

Barblow:Tithing is not an investment. It is criminal to think dt way Tithing was established to fund a priesthood dt was rendered obsolete by d death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Stop using it as a betting scheme, abeg. I hv not tithed in more than a decade and everything is alright. 3 Likes |

Bobbysworld28: Tithing is use in promoting God's Kingdom. It is what is use to make news of our Lord Jesus Christ spread to every part of the World. So not paying tithe id like working against this and not wanting it good news to spread across the whole World.If you are a good Christian or born again Christian you practice tithing. I would want you to practice the act and you would see that things would be more than ALRIGHT. |

Barblow:Dt is quite literally absurd. Jesus said 'Go ye therefore and teach all nations...' He also gave several parables abt wht d kingdom is like and how it propagates. Curiosly tithing was not mentioned to propagate d kingdom. It is not an investment. Tithing of money by the christian is d biggest fraud of all time and those who practice it are performing an exercise in stu.pidity 2 Likes |

Bobbysworld28: Those paying tithe are not practising an exercise in stupidity. Infact it is those that are not paying tithe that are stupid! Moreover, God called those that are not paying tithe robbers! (Malachi 3: 8-9). Also in the issue of been blessed beyond NORMAL read (Malachi 3: 10-12) |

Bobbysworld28: But people have been worshipping God and obeying His Commandment before Christ came! As for agric produce, it was the kind of job the people do at that time! There was nothing like nacking tie n going to office. |

No dear...its not compulsory and will no hinder you from been blessed by God.. Rather you should practice the gift of giving ... But do not give because u want to get some thing in return.. be a benevolent in ur giving... You have already been blessed to give...let no one deceive u into thinking that God is a kalo-kalo man Give out of love not out of a weak and ended law... and decide wat u want to give according to scriptures,for God loves a generous giver (2 Corinthians 9:7) 2 Likes |

All those saying the tithes are kingdom investments are either in error or pure scammers .. ..God's true kingdom investments are his children.. That you and me...we are so precious to him.....he is interested in us...not our money or inheritance Thats the very reason why Jesus was sent to deliver us from the curse of d law! 2 Likes |
