LEGALAide: Come on brother you wrote a lovely article. We are just trying to help you put the verses you missed out. And you should not shy away from an article you originated. Stay true to it. And it is never weakness to admit when you are wrong. |

LEGALAide: PLS BE CIRCUMSPECT WITH UR TREATISE.U NEED A BETTER BALANCE OF THOUGHT. TITHE.TITHING,GIVING, GENEROUSITY;ETC IS THE DEMAND OF GOD TO SHOW UNRESERVED LOVE FOR HIM AND HIS WORK IN THE KINGDOM.CHRISTIAN TITHING AND OR GIVING IS COMMANDED, INSTRUCTED, ADVICED.ETC TO BE OBEYED BY ALL TRUE BELIEVERS/FAITHFULS. NO NEED TO DEBATE THE SUBJECT OF LOVE AND CHARITY .TITHING IS CLEARLY COMMANDED AND SHOULD BE OBEYED BUT NOT OUT OF GREED AND COVETOUSNESS BUT OF NEED IN THE HOUSE HOLD OF GOD.SO STOP THIS UR EPISTLE TO CONFUSE THE GULLIBLE .EVERY ONE SHOULD GIVE,PAY,LEND TO GOD AD HIS ABLE.GOD LOVES CHEERFUL GIVERS,PERIOD.AND IT CONES WITH ITS OWN ABUNDANT BLESSINGS... IN CASH AND IN KIND. |

ChoCandyDiamond: This is living bible translation. "SORROW AWAITS YOU PHARISEES! FOR YOU ARE CAREFUL TO TITHE EVEN THE TINIEST INCOME FROM YOUR HERB GARDEN, BUT YOU IGNORE JUSTICE AND THE LOVE OF GOD." YOU SHOULD TITHE", YES!BUT DO NOT NEGLECT THE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS" luke 11 :42, Matthew23:23. Despite the emphasis was on mercy...the other undone was referring to Tithe. |

Durinsday: Nice line of thought..When Jesus said to His hearers....you have heard it said..an eye for an eye..but I tell you... He was giving them the new pattern to follow..He was speaking to people under the law also but showing them a new way of life. So when Jesus spoke to the Pharisees, I believe He was showing them the new way of life...saying mercy, justice and righteousness are important (new way of life) but don't leave out tithing..my thoughts |

The reason for all these is that people fail to understand that there are dispensations in the bible. Heb 1: 1 says God who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds. God speaking to us today by His Son implies by direct Command from Jesus, Apostolic Example and necessary inference. The Apostles did not pay tithe. The example in 1 Cor 16:1-2 is a command from Paul the Apostle. Gal 3 : 21- 25 reads: Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. But the scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the LAW was our TUTOR to bring us to CHRIST, that we might be justified by FAITH. But after FAITH has come, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A TUTOR. |

LEGALAide: Sir, beg to disagree. He did in that passage. Matt 23:23. He said they should not neglect the tithe, but they should put mercy and truth first. |
Re: To Tithe Or Not To Tithe: The Whole Truth From The Bible. by Chukazu: 4:59pm On Mar 06, 2016 |
Durinsday: and where did bible say it's a sin to be a pharisee. go and read about pharisees. these were hardliners. pple who will do anything to preserve God's word. what you called conservatives. as a matter of fact without them you probably won't know much about the bible, they were meticulous enough to guard and preserve the "dead Sea scroll" which became our bible today Christ wasn't against them as a pple but the manner they went about it. |

LEGALAide: I now see what your problem is.....you are on a mission to lead others astray going by the turn around you are now making after all the poisonous comments you have passing which are diametrically opposed to what you wrote above. Your type cannot give alms to the poor without questioning what they will do with the money and that is what is called sowing on infertile ground. Those that give alms do not boast about it. |
Re: To Tithe Or Not To Tithe: The Whole Truth From The Bible. by Nobody: 5:08pm On Mar 06, 2016 |
1stCitizen:those that give alms don't boast about it neither should those that tithe. Also show me from my post where I contradicted myself. By the way you haven't sent your account number! I'm serious. Though it gats be Access bank. Would love to use mobile banking app. |

You are missing a fundamental point. The laws of Moses were for the Children Of Israel. Matt 23:23 was specifically speaking to Scribes and Pharisees not to you. Some Gentiles were alive as at that time that did not keep any law of Moses. The Pharisees knew the laws of Moses very well then. When gentiles became Christians in Acts 15, some Jewish Christians were now making laws saying that the Gentile Christians must be circumcised and OBEY the laws of Moses(tithing inclusive). Paul, Peter and the rest of the Apostles had to deliberate on this issue in Jerusalem. After, the meeting Peter now wrote a letter to the Gentile Christians that they should not obey the laws of Moses. Question is, If Gentile Christians should not obey the law of Moses, what about the Jews who became Christians? Will obeying the law of Moses with Christianity make them better Christians? The answer is NO. That was also the early stage of Christianity. Always read the Bible carefully. Ask who is writing, to whom, for what purpose, the message considering the whole context and not https://www.nairaland.com/2970673/anambra-cashless-obiano-launches-pos picking a text in isolation. Cheers. Dee235: |

Chukzyfcb: And who said the growth has anything to do with tithe? Do you now see why I insist you were misquoting me.? I talked about the idea of Windows OS, that has nothing to do with tithing. The idea is a "seed" how you water your seed is another issue. Please read before quote |

fof1:PLEASE I DIDN'T SAY THAT! I only emphasized that some "pastors" say that not tithing is a sin. Tithing is a way of giving back to God. When you give alms, you've given back to God haven't you? But it's a shame that our men of God do not want us to know the truth. They place much emphasis on tithing because they are in love with materials things. Thanks for your contribution. Real thanks. |

Re: To Tithe Or Not To Tithe: The Whole Truth From The Bible. by Skills10: 5:49pm On Mar 06, 2016 |
Dangote does not pay tithes. You don't become a millionaire simply by paying tithes. That is not Christianity. God blesses people irrespective of their faith. He makes his rain to fall on both the good and the bad. I don't pay tithes and God bless me. Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. God blessings should not only be monetary. He keeps you from evil, good health, and gives you his peace which passeth all knowledge. The early Apostles spoke the truth, they were denied the wealth of life. They were contented and suffered. They all died a painful death except John the beloved who died naturally at a Older age. Read how these Apostles died and you will fear and realise that your so-called men of God of today are extorting and failing to declare to you the whole counsel of God. 1stCitizen: 1 Like |

funshow247: I have fared better when I didn't pay tithe than when I used to. But it really doesn't matter because how you fare is never a justification to do anything. We are to obey and follow Gods word irrespective of the results we get. There are people whose lives have become better financially because they stole money. Does that make stealing right? 1 Like |
