S247:
I think we should careless on how pastors spend tithes, but rather see it as obeying GOD's commandment and as a gateway to our BLESSINGS.

Joshthefirst:
Sir, I know you may simply be mocking, but I'll answer your question.

God handed the earth to an agency he created: Man. Man was in charge of maintenance and management. Until the enemy came in. After that it was things fall apart. Man sought to dominate not just his environment but himself. And suffering was introduced into the world. But the way out has been established.

God has been up to executing his master plan ever since. Right now that involves agents and ambassadors of his plan scattered over the world and enlightening man on his universal way out and his provision of a perfect world in the near future.

MadCow1:
Because this is 2016 not the Old Testament

2. This is Nigeria in Africa not Israel..

3. God does not need your tithe.

4. Tithe is not money to God but rather money to Man.

5. Also because the Church does not pay taxes, meanwhile the priests of the old testament paid tithe on the tithes they received.

6. Jesus who is the basis of the Christian faith did not pay tithe but rather paid taxes.

7. Jesus commanded us to give to strangers and the needy around us not to give to the Church.

8. Jesus never asked us to pay tithes.

9. Dollar has gone up.


That's all..

Because many Nigerians are poor and they don't trust their pastors with their tithes. Many churches nowadays are more after your money than your salvation.

S247:
But we take a whole 90% while giving GOD ordinary 10%

abbeyafu:



So, you wanna attribute the state of the universe to God's negligence? guy, cut that crap. I don't care if you are an atheist or not, but God has given human beings the needed wisdom to handle it's affairs (basic things of life) but Satan has planted hatred, greed and wickedness in the hearts of man which wouldn't allow us maximize our full potentials. God has always been faithful and Just since creation.
Peace.

Moreover, we shouldn't have the mindset that we are paying the tithe to our pastors but to God. It is God's commandment, not our pastor's. We should be less concerned about whatever they use the tithe for in as much as we have obey what God requires of us. It should be between us and God and not our pastors. We should try to view them as a means to an end.

S247:
churches involve in souls winning which make them non-profit making organizations
