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.


Every one no de do agriculture. Some were blacksmiths, hunters, ornament miners, etc.

Don't get it twisted! Am not confuse it is you that should get it straight. Giving one-tenth of your income as tithe is same thing as giving the best out of your produce!


10% ain't same with best of your produce.

Dt unfortunately is d problem of Christianity. Even the Adeboye's, Oyedepo's, Oyakhilome's etc are fraudsters in this tithing matter. No Christian will go to hell for not tithing. For crying out loud, they were to eat their tithes and drop it in full once in 3 years. It was never money as money was in use at d time. It is a shame dt money is all churches want these days

Tithing is compulsory under the old law and we are no longer under the law. However, we are obliged to give generously without pressure. Give cheerfully to God and he ll replenish it. Give more than 10% as the spirit moves you cos we are no longer subjected to 10% as it was under the law.

How do u 'give to God'? Do u have his account number?
Re: Is Tithe Paying Compulsory? by Nobody: 1:11pm On Nov 22, 2015
Anything contrary to what is contained in Deuteronomy 14 is a scam.

Of course, or didn't u see it In d scripture

Didn't u also see that tithe is meant for levites, orphans, widows, motherless, poor people generally or people in need

Tithe in those days was agricultural produce which was usually harvested at the end of the year.

Also make sure that u launch an investigation to find out who d levites are, why God said d Israelites should pay tithe to dem n why tithe paying is irrelevant today.

And the most important question - WHY HAS YOUR CHURCH HIDDEN THIS SCRIPTURES FOR DECADES

DONT THEY WANT U TO TITHE TO THE POOR N HELPLESS
WHY DO THEY WANT TO COLLECT 10% as tithe, another 10 - 20 percent as offering, pledges, free will offering, donations, etc....Are u a foool How can u submit 30% of ur lifetime earnings to another man to build schools, hospitals n buy private jets...schools u can't even afford to pay for

Monthly tithing is d biggest fraud of the church / Christianity...

You obviously dont know anything about Him. Giving would be a waste to you.

Why dont you read the bible holistically? Why rely on a misguided understanding of just a verse? You can use google to find out what the history of tithe in relation to giving.

No. We never said the same thing. As for tithes, it was a manner of giving to God practiced by believers of the old. We that are no longer under the law should even give more than 10 % but willingly and not under compulsion. The dude on the other side is someone that believes you should only give to God when you see him or have His acct number. He obviously has no respect or faith in God so we differ a lot.
Re: Is Tithe Paying Compulsory? by ipreach: 4:56pm On Nov 22, 2015
Its not a compulsory but if you are not paying your tithe it means your are robbing God

Malachi 3:8-9
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

If wat u r saying is ur suggestion,then both of u are practically saying the same thing....
The problem both of u are having is just a misunderstanding...
i read d part where he replied u with this

he tot u were an advocate for tithes...That why he asked you if u actually had God's account number,so that you can send the money to him..
Practically and spiritually,we don't really give to God,we actually give to his people whom he calls the "least of our brothers"...Matthew 25:31-46

Overall,i think we all sud practice the gift of giving which actually comes from the heart....2 Corinthians 9:7

sorry bro but were you part of the old covenant that was given to the children of Israel?

did the early Christians in acts of the apostles tithe?

who was Malachi referring to in that verse that u and other pro-tithers keep bringing up everyday?

Are you still under d dictates of the law of Moses?

If you are still insisting on paying tithes,why is it not according to the original way of tithing as instructed in Deuteronomy 14:22-29?

I await your sincere replies to these questions...!

Finally, he talks. Pls define 'giving to God'. Does it entail giving to these pastorpreneurs?
