Manueleee: Will it not be easier and faster for you to establish your own if you earn a bigger salary? If you answer yes, then you should KEEP repeating/increasing your "magical" money-doubling tithe scheme so your salary keeps growing, not so? Why won't you do that? |

seguno2: Honestly, I think you have muddled up a lot of things and have veered off on a tangent There is no connection between paying your taxes to the government and giving in Christianity. I dont even know how you have attempted to connect it. It is totally strange Secondly, giving to ceasar was because the Jews where in exile under the Roman empire. They wouldnt have needed to do that when they where in the land of Israel. It is always important you study the bible in context. Thridly, the standard for the church is to give to meet the need of all. It isnt to give to enrich certain church leaders. The Jews did a collection in Jerusalam because at the time, they were all in one location. But after they were dispersed, they didnt necessarily gather in one location to collect the offerings. Some offerings were submitted in peoples houses and distributed. Others were given directly. There was no one method. The important thing was to give cheerfully, sacrificially but not of compulsion. And the goal was to meet the need of all, especially the orphans and the widows 1 Like |

1stCitizen: Preaching the gospel is all about exposing the truth. It is the responsibility of all true Christians to seek the truth and share it with other brethren. The OP has done his part in preaching the hidden truth that pastors always shy away from preaching, we should commend him for this. You can only have a problem with OP's message if you are a beneficiary of the tithe scam. 1 Like 1 Share |

snailspeed: You are effectively saying that Jesus Christ, whom I quoted muddled up things, right? He was asked about giving to God, not so? He replied that you should give to Caesar i.e. government (first) and then to God, right? Secondly, giving to ceasar was because the Jews where in exile under the Roman empire. They wouldnt have needed to do that when they where in the land of Israel. It is always imrpotant you study the bible in contest. Why would you say FALSE things about the Bible? What could you be trying to GAIN by doing so? Have you considered the punishment linked to such FALSEHOOD against the written Word of God? Jesus lived His life in Israel so how could the Jews be in EXILE when he made the statement on giving first to Caesars before giving to God? Thridly, the standard for the church is to give to meet the need of all. It isnt to give to enrish certain church leaders. The Jews did a collection in Jerusalam because at the time, they were all in one location. But after they were dispersed, they didnt necessarily gather in one location to collect the offerings. Some offerings were submitted in peoples houses and distributed. Others were given directly. There was no one method. The important thing was to give cheerfully, sacrificially but not of compulsion. And the goal was to meet the need of all, especially the orphans and the widows You are terribly muddled up in confusing Jews with Christians so I guess it is safe to conclude that you know NOTHING about all that you have said on this thread. The distinction between Jews and Christians is so fundamental to being a follower of Jesus Christ in words and deeds. Happy Sunday and I hope you study your Bible to prove yourself worthy of the love and sacrifice of Christ. |

Tithing is personal its between me and God.as much as salvation is personal.. That being said, I believe in tithes,but there are more important things... Leaving a righteous life is Paramount, taking care of the needy around you is equally important.. When Jesus accused the pharisees on how they tithe and leave other things undone, he said "these ought ye to have done and not to leave the others undone.." That being said, I shall listen to no false prophet on nairaland telling me not to pay my tithe, its my earning and I pay out of it, not yours. BTW, I'll rather take it to Gods Housr than to the poot, I'll give the poor what I will and not my tithe. Its Sunday, a lot of people are living in sin, the harvest is ready, the fields are green and our false pastors are either emphasizing on why you should or should not pay tithes. God have mercy! |

LEGALAide: Agreed that the question is simple..but equally a foolish one as well. Was tithing meant for only the Pharisees in the old testament The good news is even if you allow the devil to push you to open a blog dedicated to anti-tithing....it will not stop those of us already paying from paying our tithes.

seguno2: The Jews were taken to exile when babylon invaded and destroyed Jerusalem. As at the time of Jesus, they were still under foreign rule. Some Jews were living on Jewish land like Jerusalem but they were under foreign rule. So effectively they were in exile or you could put it better as they were being colonised. If you remember Pauls Journeys around Asia minor, he met Jews everywhere. So understand the issue and it will help us discuss properly. The question they asked Jesus wasnt about giving to God. The question was simply if they should pay taxes to Ceasar. Their aim was to rope Jesus in because the Jews did not believe that they should pay taxes to the Romans. And they expected anyone who claimed he was the messiah of Israel not to also support the paying of taxes to Rome. So Jesus gave them a vey profound answer which shut them up. Jesus was effectively saying, since you are being colonised, you have to obey the laws of the land as long as it doesnt contradict God's law This had no connection to the new testament giving so I dont know why you are even trying to connect it 1 Like |
