Give to the poor.

The churches you are giving to will make you poorer, no blessing in it. Your neighbors are the church. That beggar is the church God meant. That little girl that was asked to go back home for school fees is the church.

I'm not saying you shouldn't contribute to pay church bills or give your struggling pastors and congregants food, but your focus should be on the widow, orphans and disabled.

Give to the poor and see your finances change.

Abraham and other israel tribes were acting on God's instructions given personally to them at that time

You're neither of them. So obey the part meant for you. Urs is to pay..when you've paid, uve obeyed God and u will be blessed for obeying. The pastor's own is to ensure there's food in God's store house. If he doesn't use it for that purpose, then he's answerable to God and will face his judgement.

His judgement is not in ur hands neither is yours in his hands. Both of you are to obey the commandments given to each of you.

Yes I know so many people will quote Malachi where the bible say bring your tithes to the store house of God, does that mean that is the only way to pay our tithe, if you say so, then explain the other places Bible talked about tithe. In Hebrew bible talks about Abraham paying his tithe to Melchizedek and God also ordered other tribes of Israel to pay tithe to the tribe of Levi because they are not meant to work. So my question is where, who, how, what is the correct way to pay our tithe. Plz I need bible scholars to clear me in this, ur answers are highly appreciated

Tithe is not compulsorily. Don't be deceived. If wanna pay , fine its also good. But its not compulsory.

On where to pay it: read Deut 26:12

You must not give it to your pastor . use it on th less privilege that they may eat from you and be satisfied.

Read Deut 26:12

As someone said earlier that tithe site a scam, he is right in the sense that those so called pastors who ask their members to bring their tithe to the church are scammers, throughout. The new testament no one verse where Jesus ask us to pay tithe. But he always talk about giving . The issue of tithe in the bible is a very long story. So my brother if u have ur money or any thing please don't take it to church they will use ur money to buy JETS build MANSIONS create wealth for themselves. Rather take ur money to the less privileged, to the orphanage homes. Make sure u don't spend ur money alone use it to help the need and not to go. And enriched the God forsaken G.Os thanks

Plz do you have a biblical reference to back this point, if yes I will be glad if you can share
She is very correct. I'll give you Bible reference...
Deuteronomy 14: 28-29 says that "At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest."
Actually, tithe was meant for the Levites, orphans, widow, foreigners etc. The Levites were the priests who had a share of the tithe because they have no inheritance. If they had their own inheritance, they wouldn't have been included in the sharing of tithe. This shows that tithe is meant for those who doesn't have anything(the poor and needy). All our priest, pastors and ministers today are people who have inheritance wherever they come from are paid monthly salary unlike the Levites (priests) of Israel. This is why our pastors today are not qualified to receive or enjoy tithe money, so paying tithe to them in church is wrong unless they are using it to empower the poor. But if you can reach out (your tithes) to the poor directly, God will bless everything you do as stated in the scriptures above.

There is only one prerequisite to make heaven and that is being born again. I don't know what you people do in church every Sunday when you don't even understand the basic message of the religion.

Tithing is wrong. It was for priests then that were not supposed to own properties then. It is gone with the old testament. Same reason you don't kill goats for sin atonement. The priesthood structure and house of levi does not function any more

If he's helping people, it should not be from his tithe.

The tithe should be brought to God's house so there can be food. Tithes and offering in the times of the old testament was brought to the house of God as a token of appreciation and so there can be food for the Levites, this is because the Levite's were not allowed to work, their own work was to tend to the house of God as priests.

So they had a portion of these tithes and offeting to cater for themselves and their families.

Ask the holy spirit for directions. Its most important that you give cheerfully and not grudgingly or under compulsion.
So where shld we pay our tithes now cos I see no levites.

1. Malachi is the only existing Bible passage that aptly talked about paying tithe.
2. Jesus never preached tithe paying.
3. Abraham never paid tithe to Melchizedek. Tithe is said to be the one tenth of what you have. What Abraham gave to Melchizedek was spoils of war and he gave Melchizedek all. Melchizedek was not a man. He was Christ. Read more on this.
4. The reason God charged Israel to pay tithe was because of some of the Levites who served in the temple, both as priests, and workers. The rest of Israel fed them through tithe paying.

Nice points.. I've always preferred charity or less privileged cos. it feels ok, compared to pastors who have more than enof. already

Some now monitor their members earning huge salaries to see what they pay as tithe.. Buh still, I feel some should go to the church too

This kind of argument is the type I don't like. If you must pay tithe, the bible is explicit on how it should be paid.

Overall, I'm quite impressed with the kind of comments here so far. Means a lot more people are getting to read the bible themselves.

In my own opinion,I think tithe should be paid to ur local church..D place u call ur church,that feeds u spiritually..And by income earners,not students who dnt knw where and wen dia next pocket money is coming from or jobless peeps..It should be paid wit gladness not forcefully.Sadly most preachers bank on dat part of d bible and twist lots of peoples mind abt tithing,as if dat is d only criteria to go to heaven.
I once heard a story about a girl who stole her mums money jst to pay tithe /sow seed and meet her pastors target.
