Paschal60: For Dangote, Emeka offor ,Opera, Bill Gate, Warren Buffet, Trump,Mark Zuckerberg, Adenuga, I can go on and on. Stop letting yahoo yahoo Pastors deceive you. After,they will use ur tithe and pay prostitutes,lodge in expensive hotels with girls and even buy cars for 'em. Start thinking, Grace is a free gift of God, you don't secure it by tithing. |

We do not observe most biblical injunctions but when it comes to money matters, the Churches are so aggressive. Example, Lev. 18:22 is clear on homosexuality, but oyibo that brought Christianity to us are now disregarding it in the name of gay rights. The wages for adultery & homosexuality is death, says Lev. 20: 10-13. For Randy guys who sleep with a woman & later add her succulent daughter, your own is death by roasting as in Lev. 20:14 Tithes were crucial in those days because the chosen ppl that looked after places of worship were commanded to do nothing else, so tithing was important for their survival. Now, most churches have strings of businesses & their G.O live extra large lives & do nothing for charity. |

2. Because Jesus commands it: You're misquoting Jesus!!. Jesus was against tithing, against religion, against religious leaders. This is one of the more reason they colluded with the imperial Rome Empire to get rid of him as he was a threat to synagogue (Church) economy. The original quote which is Matthew 23:23 King James Version (KJV) reads "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone". Anybody without bias can see Jesus was very furious about the idea of taxing worshippers, and he cursed the church leaders saying "woe unto you" for doing so. Jesus favored showing mercy and being faithful (reliable) as more an important obligation than tithing. There's no place in the Bible that Jesus agreed with religion or religious leaders. Jesus was against religion!!. |

Should a pensioner pay tithe, on the pension, he receives monthly? |

Also note this very important point that after the death of Christ there is no record of the apostles paying tithes. Infact they never compelled people to tithe. They never also depended or made a living from any tithe. Infact apostle Paul had to work to earn a living. Acts 18:1-3 Paul never encouraged people to fleece the flock by depending on tithes rather people should work as he did. Read what Paul wrote in 1 Thessolonians2:6-9; 2 Thessolonians 3:6-12, Phillipians 4:11-13. Infact the apostles worked also to contribute from their earning to care for the need. Acts 11:27-30 So dont let anyone deceive you to enrich any pastor who wud buy jets, build exotic houses home and abroad, buy fleet of luxury cars, build universities which their poor members cant afford to send their kids to or buy aircrafts which they claim to evangelize with perharps to preach to birds in the sky |

adecz:the ones that will build the Universities only Rich folks can attend... Leaves me wondering if it was same God that told them to berra stil use the toil of the poor to serve d rich as well with d university idea..

Its funny when i hear christains paying tithes.most of them believe that the old testament laws both ceremonial and moral law.but you know what,the jews still follow all these laws and their practice are based on the old testament but they dont pay tithes. when a jewish rabbi was asked he simply answered y should i pay tithe? because people who the tithes are meant for aint in place.the levites were meant to collect the tithes and them only.if the tithe is paid to the wrong person or wrong reason its a sin.they tithe was meant for them cos the dont work but stays only in the temple. mind you they are different from priests and tithe wasnt to be paid by everyone.only people who till the ground to grow food and people who rears animal were to be tithed of the fruit of the land and the offspring of their herd.never specifie wat traders are to bring and money never a way to pay tithe but only fines.money needed to run the chrch shld be goten frm the members but no calld tithe. tithes are for levites nt pastors |

labanji:that wouldnt stop you from giving to charity but you must still pay your tithe. If you dont want to pay it to pastor, FIND A WAY TO GO AND GIVE IT TO GOD. If you are a christian |

0ubenji: Tithes are now used as a means of milking the masses to indulge the fantastic lives of the ogas. You can be sure that billionaires do not pay the biblical tithes. They may make donations & offerings but no the 10%. |
Re: 10 Bible Verses On Tithing by mayorall(m): 12:26pm On Mar 12, 2017 |
slurryeye: Read more about Levite's and who they are, their duty, etc. You don't have to pay tithe, its not by force, God is never in need, he's only looking for whom to bless. Your tithes doesnt bless your pastor, it blesses you. God said "I am that I am". This means anything you say or do doesn't change him or change his name. You paid tithe " I am that I am", you didn't pay tithe, I am that I am. Your pastor don't receive your tithes, its Jesus that receives your tithe. The just shall live by his faith. Its kukuma better you don't pay the tithe than paying and thinking you are helping God or enriching your pastor, better eat your money cos you won't get anything out of it. |

isn't the various translations self explanatory already? Christ said that there were more important things like justice, equity and love.. but he didn't say tithing in itself was bad....jeez is comprehension that hard for the average Nigerian reader?? |
Re: 10 Bible Verses On Tithing by slurryeye: 12:31pm On Mar 12, 2017 |
mayorall: Thank you for your post. Can you please explain what you mean by saying Jesus receives the tithes? And if you don't mind, I will like to know the process involved. |

adecz:offering sef is not a religion protocol.. U voluntarily give and decide to whom that shud be..provided it helps humanity. What's the use of giving to a church to acquire more ACs and pastoral Jets when half the congregation live below minimum wage level.. The 3Rd richest man in Ghana blivs in the xtian God..but he doesn't give tithes or offering to churches.. He helps the poor and needy occasionally with d same money churches cud av used to tile the auditorium with crazily expensive marble.. Guess what..!! He gets richer by the day..than the ones who'll never help their fellow man in need, they rather take that moni to church and give d pastor..nd expect to be blessed without lifting a finger to work.. Argh..religion ignorance is worse than Sin |

holamiday: God bless you o! The bible meant your land produce(food) when it said tithe. So that there will be abundance of food in God's house(Malachi 3:10). I don't know who turned it to money. I am not one of these hyper-grace new generation Christian but I really have a problem with this tithe matter. |
Re: 10 Bible Verses On Tithing by 0ubenji(m): 12:53pm On Mar 12, 2017 |
ZoneBslayer:Mr. Above average Nigerian reader, does that mean he endorsed tithing? Is it not implicitly clear why he likened the tithing to the Pharisees, the same ones who hold onto old testament traditions? |

Re: 10 Bible Verses On Tithing by xest(m): 1:07pm On Mar 12, 2017 |
I don't subscribe to this. There is no amount of money given to God that will prove or compensate him for his grace upon us. I believe the poster is a pastor or ardent so called born again. In that Matthew 23:23 he was not commending the pharisees for paying there tithe, rather he was lashing at them for not doing the most important part of law. "woes(is wise a recommendation)? unto u Pharisees for u tithe mint, Cummins n herbs, but u forget to do the most important part of the law". If tithe is that important christ would hv said it, but rather he said "justice, mercy n faithfulness are more important than tithe. Let no man decieve u of given him ur hard earn money in the name of tithe. If tithe is important the disciples would have preached it through out there mission on earth. Christ main teaching is centered on given to D poor n d sick. So therefore give n u shall b rewarded by God. Not by tithing. Tithing is not mandatory but Voluntarily. |

0ubenji:yes I AM an above average Nigerian reader.. did he say tithing was bad?? he simply said that there were more important things than tithing, which shouldn't be overlooked.. he ended up saying we should do those more important things as well as the less important ones..was that not obvious from the translations?? did he use parables there? |
