If tithe was meant for the Levites(priests) alone, then your comment would have been very correct since Levites don't exist here anymore. But if you read Deuteronomy 14: 28-29, you'll see that tithe was meant for Levites, widows, Fatherless, foreigners etc.
So even though Levites don't exist, we should keep paying tithe to those poor and less privileged ones because they still exist.
This is why I don't pay my tithes in the church.
No no no no. There are no such laws in the new testament. What they early church did was to have contributions to cater for these less privileged. Alright.
So it does not have to be a tithe, it could be more, it could be less. You don't have to follow any law, but the law of love.
Feeling the pains of those in need and loving your neighbors as yourself.
All those offering and tithes are not supposed to be standardized. Instead people in acts of apostles were even selling their properties so that no one would lack amongst them.
So do what ever you like with your income, but out of love remember those in need (widows and the rest) that is how it shld be not sunday sunday offerings and tithe collections we see today.

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

To the children of Levi. You can find their descendants in Israel.

Paying your tithe is a spiritual principle from the old days in the bible... there is a place you receive enlightenment from I mean a church, the gathering of the saints,pay your tithe to God in that place. alms giving is different from tithe paying. When you pay your tithe...angels go on assignment to pave way for some things in your life

First fact is that tithe is not your money, it belong to God, Mal 3:8 from that scripture if it's your money then you can't rob your money from someone, so it belong to God, and he gave us specific instructions were to pay it. His store house which signifies a man of God or the church and the Levi and melchizedek are all priest of God. But more importantly pay it out of love not grudgingly.

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.

There is only one prerequisite to make heaven: Believe in your heart that Jesus died for you on the cross of Calvary and confess with your mouth that he was raised from death by his father. Accept him as Lord and Saviour and obey his commandments.

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.

Nowadays Pastors buy private jets with it, you should remember something the way Christianity is practiced now is far more different from the days of Abraham, moses etc,
The major problem with 98% of the Christian populace is that, we reference only a portion of the Bible example "Thou shall pay your tithe " and ignore the rest because it suites our lifestyle, what is being practised today is not Christianity but business.. people now see the church of God as a place to showcase wealth and enrich their pockets, but the members of the church are the most ignorant.
Ask yourself this simple question, if the tithe people have been paying in the past are used for God's intended purpose do you think Africa would still be like this? go to America or UK irrespective of your social status or Pastorship, you will always be queried when your not doing the right thing with funds, but come here to Africa where am puzzled at the way we worship pastors rather than Christ himself all you see is private jets and members living in abject poverty.
for the record, one response am awaiting to hear from you is "leave judgment for God" well, that's the normal cliche I get which makes we wonder where's our sense of Judgement given to us by God himself if we can't use it?

let's stop this silly act and start doing the right thing

1. Paying tithe is not about conscience. It is an express instruction from God
2. The bible is also clear on giving to the poor and the needy. That is not tithing
3. The Bible expressly requires that we bring our tithe to his house i.e. the Church.

We should not re-define the the injunction of the bible to suite our convenience........Obedience is better than sacrifice........

Tithing is a practice promoted by pastors/priests to increase their revenue, tithing is a mosaic law which is not meant to remain biding on today's Christian, but pastors always dig out verses (Malachi) to threaten people into paying...

Pastors been scaming people since 1918

You're reading the bible out of context. Tithe is from your income. The OT Israelis were Shepherds and Farmers and it is understandable why they bring there first fruits, a tenth of their harvests and offerings of lambs as offerings. In the NT there was currency......when the pharisees talked to Jesus about who should they pay tax to, the Temple or the Caeser. Jesus requested for a coin.......and said "give unto Caeser what is Caeser's and God what is God's". Here he used money in the analogy and not fruits........ Bros, Tithe is basically your act of worship to God. When it gets to God's house it will be used as God directs.

Now I know that many of today's Pastors are scammers and use tithe to enrich themselves. Well it depends on who and where you edge your spiritual platform on
Re: Where Is The Correct Place To Pay Our Tithes by Preciousseed(m): 3:58pm On Jul 17, 2016
Tithing was a thing of Law and work, where you blessing is proportional to your works or your ability to keep the law. But since the grace time, tithe is not a must, rather there us now a better way of giving according to 2:Cor.9:7 to 10. Generous giving, which can be more than the so called tithe. Anybody telling you that Abraham tithed and was blessed, that's a lie as he was blessed already before paying the tithe which was not even from his income, Jacob entered a covenant with God that if He blesses him, he will pay tithe, in order words, if He doesn't bless him, he won't pay tithe. Imagine that! Another will tell you that King Solomon was blessed because he gave God 1,000 cows, but they forget to realize that someone that can give 1,000 cows is blessed already to have such amount of cows ( I believe that was not all the cows he had). What about Job, etc. Have you wondered why Apostle Paul never talked about Tithe? if there was anybody that is suppose to talk about tithe, Bananas was suppose to because he was a descendant of Levi. Jesus too never talked about it, until when he was asked, He responded by saying that their are more important things rather than tithe, such as love, peace , etc. Instead of paying tithe, you should give generously to propagate the gospel!

So they had a portion of these tithes and offeting to cater for themselves and their families. In addition, the Levites were not given any land as inheritance as other 11 tribes. They had no work apart from the tending in the temple. So it's only logical that there is a provision for them. But the tithe was not for the Levites alone. Windows and those who "come" to the house of God with problems were fed from these provision. I can't remember, a king and his army went to the temple, and the priest fed them from the bred of the temple........

Levi in present day are the priests, pastors,
Beloved, 2 Pet.2:9 says that you, yes you are a royal priesthood! Even more than those old testament Priests! why? because Jesus Christ has given us access to the holy of Holies which hitherto only those priests could access. Now, the veil has been turn, so you as a priest can access that holy of holies. Hence, the present day pastors are not the olden days priests as you asserted. Rather, as many as receive Him, including you and I and the pastors, to them He gave the power, the very same power to be called sons, priests, royal priesthood. so my dear, we are in the dispensation of grace and not Law/work. For further understanding, Kindly study the book of Romans, particularly chapters 8 to 10. and ask the Holy spirit to open the eyes of your understanding .....Eph. 1:17 to 20.

Tithe to me does not exist anymore, rather offering does. Jesus never spoke about tithe, but he dwell on something greater than tithe. Giving generously. If tithe is 1 10th, given goes beyond this.
