....................... My brother, you may have done what appears right before men, but scriptur ally wrong.... God speaking in the Book of malachi 3vs ten, chapter three specifically said this " [10] Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it........ God also speaking in the Book of samuel stated emphatically stated that obedience is better than sacrifice..... While you might have sacrificed your money to the begger, it can only serve as alms giving, but your tithe belongs to the Church......... Gods way is different from mans ways....... God bless you |

erico2k2: There is something you failed to understand. Tithing is different from giving to the poor. Tithe is a very strict stuff people don't know, is a command. Giving to the poor is just showing kindness to fellow human and God because he said love one another. Give to the poor you've lend Him. When you pay Tithe, window of heaven will be opened to you AND when you give to the poor, you will receive from God. both of them are similar but different, they are like twins but different. When the window of God haven't opened (Tithe) your giving to the poor will yield no fruit AND when the window is open and God didn't poor out (giving) you will get nothing. plz understand or ask your pastor if your a christian |

prettybea:you are wrong. Only 10 percent of the tithe is meant for the church. The remaining 90% of your tithe is meant for the poor. Read nehemiah 10;38 |

stagger:You still contradicting yourself. Are there 2 Gods? If you agree that giving to The poor is same as giving to God, then why do you say you can't give what is meant for God to the poor? Isn't it same God? Or do you give the tithe directly to God? Don't they all get to him through a medium? If your boss pays you your salary by cash, cheque, through someone, account, doesn't it still get to you in full? In fact the New Testament even advises you give all the portions to the poor cause that's the fastest way to get to God 1 Like |

erico2k2: Because that was their cycle of commerce. Most churches ask on a monthly basis because today the month is our generally acceptable cycle of commerce. I close my accounts in December so my cycle of tithes is yearly. There is no specific time frame. There is a specific value and direction. That is the subject under debate. |

mdokaba1: I appreciate ur good heart by giving to the poor BUT in this case u are wrong. Don't call this Giving of Tithe better still call it Giving of Alms. Whichever way u choose to give ur money, there's certainly a reward attached. |

Paying tithe is compulsory and suppose to be use for the work of God and underprivileges but what people are against is the way the so called pastor use the money to enrich themselves. If I know that this Monies is been Chanel to the right places...believe me people will pay their tithe even before the pastors ask for it. You will know the truth and the truth shall set you free. |

Just imagine we every Nigerian pays his tithe to someone in need , the less privileged and beggars. The country will be a better place. If the offerings and free will donations are not enough for the churches then they should close up. A church has a private jet but the members are not sure of the next meal. What are we preaching then? 2 Likes 1 Share |

profmiganigal:You just brought out yourself Sir 19-21 talks about clean and uncleanliness 22-29 talks about tithe "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,d 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,h or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice.i 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 tithesl of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 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 blessr you in all the work of your hands."

Topgainer:The worse u can ever do is to use human understanding to interpret the word of God. God says, my ways are not your ways, and my thoughts are not your thoughts. The instruction is very clear in the Bible, not following it will have yourself to blame. |

If I am correct, you got paid for a job. Went for shopping on way back gave your already packaged tithe to a beggar. Is it that you don't have any other money on you so you gave him your tithe? Nothing wrong giving it to a beggar but u could have repackaged another tithe. Tithe is a commandment so repackage another. Paying tithe doesn't stop you from giving to the poor and vice versa. 1 Like |
