okenwaa: You are already blessed my brother. Ask God and you shall receive. You don’t need a priest for God’s Blessing. When you live the testament of Christ Jesus you shall realize all your needs have been provided for and it carries more weight when you ask directly from God than from a priest. |

mdokaba1: You have exhibited a very noble Christian virtue and God will bless you for it BUT YOU HAVE NOT PAID YOUR TITHE. Malachi:3:10 Clearly said: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house... The Scriptures the other guys are quoting was not referring to Tithe. Can you tell a Juju priest that you have given the sacrificial goat to a beggar on the roadside and come to his Shrine for his blessing when he didnt ask you to.. 1 Like |

You did well. Most time when tithe is being discussed, people we tend to pick some portion of the bible and leave out some. Read Deuteronomy 26:12-15 Deuteronomy 14:22-29 Numbers 18:20-32 Amos 4:4 Nehemiah 13:5-12 Malachi 3:8-10 ( of course this the only one we like using) 5 Likes |

mdokaba1: What you did is more than Right as long as the Beggar is a Real and Helpless one. As for me, my Tithes have no business in the Church as most churches of today aren't the same Church God meant when he gave the commandment. I either use it to help the Needy (There are many people in Prisons just because they can't afford to Bail themselves, those dying in Hospitals over amounts equivalent to Stipends, Motherless Homes, etc) OR I use it to Help My Self. PS: Please never give money to someone to help you pay Tithe or Offering. Either do it yourSelf or forget about it. God go understand. Don't let the teachings of the "God of Men" Cloud your mental thinking. God gave US all Brain (to think, analyze and take decisions) and a Manual (Bible) in case we are lost. Never allow any Human Interprete that Manual (Bible) unnecessarilly because most would do so mostly to Fulfil their Selfish Interests. 1 Like |

Omede2u2: Stop the lies. In reference to Abraham he paid the tithe once in his live. As Christians we don’t live after Israelites cause they are not even Christians to start with. Did Jesus pay tithe to any priest. Did the deciples pay tithe to anyone. Jesus our savior said, on the judgement day I will I do not know you cause when I was hungry you gave me no food, when I was naked you did not cloth me. Let your conscience direct you cause these are spirit things. 5 Likes |

PatriotTemidayo: Tithes are mandatory. Offerings are not. Because church services are mandatory while other activities are not. Churches donot ask for offerings to run services or propagate the gospel. If you walk up to a church every Sunday and expect to see its doors open and donot tithe, then what do you call yourself. Can you drive your car without petrol. |

Nothing wrong in giving your tithe to the begger, You can do whatever pleases you with your tithe but it should be in Godly way. Read Deut 14:20 read down and follow the bible don't follow church doctrine |

cristianisraeli:So a beggar is now equivalent to God... Oya come an unwash my brain...laundryman. Only 15% of Nigeria's population has bank accounts. Has the economy stopped moving? When you enter taxi, do you pay to the taxi man's account number? When you buy crayfish or you visit your ashawo customer at night, do you pay into account number? I hate it when humans start answering like goats. |

Christianity is turning into something else. Usually I don't comment on such but I will now. Most people contradict themselves, they choose what they want to believe and just hold on to it. 1- Going through the whole passages about tithe, the soul aim was to provide food for those who can't provide for themselves(levites in those days, homeless and poor), 2- then God says, whatever you give to the poor, you have given unto him. He said on the last day, you shall make heaven cause you clothed, fed, and gave him shelter through the poor. Telling someone he disobeyed the commandment cause he gave his tithe to the poor directly instead of giving it to the pastor to give to the poor is funny to me. Tithe is all about feeding. And don't bother quoting Abraham, cause what he gave was spoilts from war. If you must choose to obey any law in the Old Testament, then obey all which includes killing your enemies, woman not entering the alter or going to church during her periods, eating some certain animals etc. Be wise people, we have to be wise 9 Likes |

gentle007:don't be hypocrite, you just chose the ones that suits u and live others 1st title are not weeks, month, and even yearly but rather every 3 years. Read the verse 22 to that 29 very well, the lord choose a place and even if the place is too far he ask us to buy whatever our heart desire, eat there and rejoice with your household and beside he said Levites, who are the Levites in Nigeria, do we really have one. And if we are truly following the step of Jesus, please I need someone to show me where in the Bible where Jesus paid or collected title. Because as far as Jesus is concern he came to give us grace not living under the law. 4 Likes |

profmiganigal:Not just for the priest Deut 14:28-29 "28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns,m 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotmentn or inheritanceo 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." Mind you the priest then, have no other source of income or inheritance, they dedicate their live for the sole purpose of serving God and people. 2 Likes |

HeyCorleone: At the time and place that scripture was given man's occupation then was primarily agrarian. Today we have all sorts of income generating activities the only way to quantify value is by a common denominator which is money. But even at that some today can offer services in exchange for tithes if it fits the profile. Peter let Jesus use his boat to preach and was richly rewarded with an open heaven experience. The key here is that Jesus is the church today and the purpose, spreading the gospel remains in force. |
