Unfortunately your small 'mustard seed size'. mind has not grown enough to let you dechiper that anyone posting at that time on a Sunday morning is not an ardent church goer that regularly signs a pastor's attendance sheet.

AND...
If you don't pay, your finances will be tight
If you don't pay, you are robbing God
If you don't pay, you will never experience financial prosperity.
Etc...

Christ fulfilled d law but after His death and resurrection, a new covenant is established and the old covenant(law) abolished.
So d law is abolished both tithes, burnt offerings, stoning of adulterers, cutting of beards etc. read romans 7 and 8 for more

WiseBully:
Eat your tithe if you feel that your life depends on it. I detest when folks argue Scriptural principles by applying logic and reasoning. People will always postulate and explain why they are right to do or not to do certain things. Unfortunately Heaven doesn't employ the services of scholars like other religions to spread HIS Word, rather HE employs the least in the society.

OP what exactly is your point?
Yes I can pay tithe to the church, Yes I can use my tithe to help the needy... And again it's not by force. If I believe in tithing and choose to pay tithe because it works for me, and you choose not to because you don't believe in it.. So kini big deal?

You forget that Christianity no be by force.

Exactly how your pastor says it.
God doesn't bless you because you tithe.
God gives freely even to sinners alike.
All these pathetic "Christian" principles from the pit of Hell!

Oh Messenger of Satan. ...there is a universal principle of sowing and harvest....whether you are a sinner or not Good seed...good harvest....bad seed...bad harvest in your thoughts actions, giving, etc

Tithing is a christianized Yahoo Yahoo business. Simple.


A pastor who owns lands, schools and fleet of cars will ask someone earning below the minimum wage to bring 10% of his salary so that God will bless him and the Educated idiot will do it.

If eventually he gets salary increase he will say it is because he tithed, how about none tithers and unbelievers that are most times the boss?

Jesus is now the high priest and where there's a change in priesthood, there's equally a change in the law. The law of tithing passed away when the law of feeding the hungry, the poor, helping the needy, widows etc was established.

I don't serve a broke god that needs to invest 10% of my money in what I don't even know and then give me whatever he gains.

I serve a living God who meets all my needs according his riches in glory by Christ.

OP..God bless u for dis....many churches don't teach d whole truth about tithing... dey only recite scriptures dat benefit d church income, especially d Malachi verse. Note: many churches urges member for evangelism, not for soul they should bring to God, but for increase in church income. they see increase in church income as increase in God's kingdom.

First, Matthew 23:23 is not new testament. The new testament started after Christ ressurected from the dead. Maybe you never tought of that before you made your post.

And also important for you to know what tithing really is. This is Deutoronomy 14. See the instruction on tithing

22 “You must set aside a tithe of your crops—one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year. 23 Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship—the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to be honored—and eat it there in his presence. This applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn males of your flocks and herds. Doing this will teach you always to fear the Lord your God.

24 “Now when the Lord your God blesses you with a good harvest, the place of worship he chooses for his name to be honored might be too far for you to bring the tithe. 25 If so, you may sell the tithe portion of your crops and herds, put the money in a pouch, and go to the place the Lord your God has chosen. 26 When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want—cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and celebrate with your household. 27 And do not neglect the Levites in your town, for they will receive no allotment of land among you.

Jesus did not abolish the law (tithing).
He fulfilled it by, not just by giving a tenth of what he had, but by giving all he had - his life!

B IS FOR WHAT?

fairheven:
@OP peace be upon you,for picking the scriptures that suits you just to deceive the gullible.

Jesus supported tithing in new testament.

"Woe to you pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass justice and the love of God. This (justice and love of God) you ought to have done without leaving the other (which is tithing)undone " luke 11:42

Wonder why your eyes never read that potion

LEGALAide:

YOU ASKED WHAT MY POINT IS?
EAT THIS!
Your pastor said not paying your tithe is a sin, and that's why you're paying.
The only way to give back to God is not by tithing.
Did you get it?

dorofresh:
This is quite expository....The church will never tell you this...

This issue of tithe has been abused by 'greedy pastors' who cash in on its members' gullibility to fleece them dry.

If you hear how some churches hammer on the issue of tithe, you will think that it is the surest way of making heaven..

This article is very timely....kudos to the Author!!!

Yes because you cannot counter that principle with the lies you are propagating

Maser:


You're a superstar! Your understanding of this topic is impeccable. Your submissions is exactly what my argument to Christians have been over the years but they abuse me and see me as devil rather than see the scriptures I proffer. Pastors have told them that that those who don't pay will go to hell because they are robbers. Indoctrination is very bad indeed. It makes a fool out of even the educated. He sees the truth but wishes it were false and infact chooses falsehood to suit what he's been brainwashed to believe. The dangerous aspect of the tithe doctrine is in Galatians 3:10 which says that all who choose to live by the law are under the curse and recall that James 2:10 says that if you keep the whole law and offend in one point you are guilty of all. Therefore if you keep the Law on tithing and fail to keep sabbath and other 612 laws, you incur massive curses. Paul called those who sought to follow the Law foolish Galatians and referred to asking people to obey the Law bewitchment. Finally, Galatians 5:4 says that those who seek to be justified by the law are cut off from Christ and have fallen from grace.

Obiwannn:

MBA! You're getting it wrong. I'm not paying tithe because one man of God said it's a sin.
And judging from your response, except sure me die say na una be Anti Christ wey Bible talk about.. And read my comment, I said of course you can choose to help the needy with your tithe instead of paying it to the church... All in all I said it's the heart of the giver that matters, not the actual act of giving.
Have a lovely day

heatflux:
Because something was not mentioned in the New testament does not makes it absurd or abolished. In case you have forgotten, Jesus Christ emphatically said he did not come to abolish the law but to fulfil it. New or old testament, it's the same God. In fact, you might not have noticed, God in return, bless people more when they pay their tithes sincerely - it's a divine assurance! (10% or 100%, everything belongs to God)
