This issue of tithe has been disturbing me for some time now. My mum always advice me to pay my tithe but i feel reluctant to do it cos of these effizy pastors...Presently my uncle is angry with me cos i didnt pay my tithe last month but i dont give a damn....I have made up my mind to be giving my tithe to children{preferably new born babies} or elderly people with effect 4rm this month.

Do as your spirit leads.

But why should your uncle be angry with you over your stance on tithe? Religion and its madness.

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

Orphanage home....

Less privileged

Very poor people

Disabled people

Tithing is not a SCAM
Tithing is not a day light ROBBERY
Tithing are paid by those who have the given heart and they are not gullible


This is the point, God is looking for a way to bless the less privilege, God wants to take from those that have and give to those that do not have, God knew the government of any country may fail to provide for the poor, that is why he said in the book of Malachi that you should bring your tithe to his house thinking that the church will not fail to give those money to the poor, the widow,orphans and other less privilege but UNFORTUNATELY the CHURCH has FAILED TOO by diverting those income to build an expensive schools,buying private jets even when the tither are getting poorer because they sow their tithe on a fruitless ground

Pastors are pastors not levites.
A levite must be from the levi lineage.
I said read up on the early church. They never collected offerings or tithes all they collected were contributions when it's needed.

Paying tithe is just a smart way of ensuring people are enslaved and mandated to pay money to the pastors
And Levites owned nothing.

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

If u want to help the church at all, there is Offering (which is different from tithe) for that.. infact these days we here of specific offerings like building offering and generator offering.. etc.

But tithe is for the needy, you can use your judgement to give your pastors if they work full time in the church and dont earn through other means.. Tithe is mainly for the needy, the widows who are likely not to having a good finance, the stranger/stranded, the less privileged,... etc. This is God's intent on tithe, it is not for enriching the rich


So Christians should pls use their head, tithing is for the poor people. Also there is no cursing on ur head if u dont pay tithe because we are in the dispensation of grace where every curses of the old testament has been conquered by the works of Christ. Give cheerfully as the Spirit leads and not grudgingly.

Levite's are full time pastors.

Tithes and offering in churches goes into different purposes and for payment of salaries to church officials, instrumentalist, widows, orphans and the needy, missions and missionaries, church maintenance and supplies.

Looks to me like you're more concerned with what the tithe will be used for than where you should pay it.

That already is a shadow of doubt. And if you're having that already, please don't pay a tithe. Just keep it.

Please not to argue or something, you seem to know much about tithing, did the early church, the one instituted by Jesus Christ and carried on by his disciples pay any tithes??
Re: Where Is The Correct Place To Pay Our Tithes by translux(m): 8:24am On Jul 17, 2016
Yes tithe is not money just anything you have in surplus that you can give to others even your time but irrespective of this topic tithe is money

Deuteronomy 14:22


Deuteronomy 14:22-29New International Version (NIV)

Tithes
22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.
28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

How do we expect the Church activities to be funded if tithes are not being paid? How do you want the Full-time Ministers of God to catered-for themselves? How do want the Buildings where people congregate to be built? Do you expect people to sit on the floor in an open space come rain and shine to worship God? Questions waiting for answers.

Re: Where Is The Correct Place To Pay Our Tithes by Nobody: 8:34am On Jul 17, 2016
You saw a sinner; was moved with compassion and you ministered unto them. In their deep contrition they gave their life to God. That act of repentance ushered them into God's Kingdom. Now you're telling them God's gonna place some curse on them if they don't give Him a percentage of their income. It's a senseless and stupid talk. God can never place a curse on His own children.

If you have the conviction to tithe, do so because you want to express gratitude to God ( even though tithe isn't the only way you can do so) and NOT because of some devourer talk. Do we even have an idea Who God is?

Re: Where Is The Correct Place To Pay Our Tithes by NAVYdogg: 8:37am On Jul 17, 2016
Same tithes that are paid by mostly the poor that are used to build private universities where those same poor people cannot afford to put they children. Same tithes money thats making all pastors no more follow commercial flights anymore except private jets. Same tithes money that are used in buying mansions for themselves in Banana island, Maitama, Asokoro, Lekki and the rest. Same tithes you've been paying for the past 10yrs that the pastor use in expanding his wealth and you keep on blaming Buhari.

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.

Re: Where Is The Correct Place To Pay Our Tithes by laclass(m): 8:48am On Jul 17, 2016
My dear No Tithing for mordern day Christians. At no time were first-century Christians commanded to pay tithes. The primary purpose of the tithing arrangement under the Law had been to support Israel’s temple and priesthood; consequently the obligation to pay tithes would cease when that Mosaic Law covenant came to an end as fulfilled, through Christ’s death on the torture stake. (Eph 2:15; Col 2:13, 14) It is true that Levitical priests continued serving at the temple in Jerusalem until it was destroyed in 70 C.E., but Christians from and after 33 C.E. became part of a new spiritual priesthood that was not supported by tithes.—Ro 6:14; Heb 7:12; 1Pe 2:9.

As Christians, they were encouraged to give support to the Christian ministry both by their own ministerial activity and by material contributions. Instead of giving fixed, specified amounts to defray congregational expenses, they were to contribute “according to what a person has,” giving “as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2Co 8:12; 9:7) They were encouraged to follow the principle: “Let the older men who preside in a fine way be reckoned worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard in speaking and teaching. For the scripture says: ‘You must not muzzle a bull when it threshes out the grain’; also: ‘The workman is worthy of his wages.’” (1Ti 5:17, 18) However, the apostle Paul set an example in seeking to avoid bringing an undue financial burden on the congregation.—Ac 18:3; 1Th 2:9.
