You are giving your tithe to God. Which God ? Is your pastor God? Some Pple will rather let their neighbour go hungry or wear torn clothes. They prefer paying the tithe to church 1 Like |

Reference:See how convenient it is for you to dodge the point. My question is simple, "WHAT DO YOUR CHURCH OR PASTOR DO WITH OFFERINGS AND OTHER COLLECTION?". Do they throw the offering into the dust bin, if not, can't that also propagate the gospel...... And i see ignorance in your quest to prove that tithe is mandatory, I am Christian like you but I know that Jesus never forced any to pay tithe. As a matter of fact, he doesn't ask for offering self. When Judas wanted to create a purse to keep money, can you remember what Jesus told him? If you do, am sure you can tell that is the reason Pastor want to kill themselves preaching about tithe and offering too violently. Go back to the bible, deut., Leviticus and even the Malachi that gullible followers have been brainwashed with and read it deeply to understand for whom and what tithe is meant for. Tithe doesn't determine heaven, Infact, it doesn't determine whether you're blessed or not, if you don't observe other rules, tithe is a waste. Suffice to say that Malachi says ".......so there may be food in my house", how does that sound like powering the gospel........ Ignorant rant! |

victorazyvictor: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.

bedspread:My brother where is it stated in the bible that God even needs our tithes to propagate his word? This is why we are so backward in africa today, we are too lazy to read & carry out research. We just rely on what we hear from our pastors. There was a reason christians where required to storeup foods in the old testament & NOT MONEY. There was money then already, but food was stored up so it could be used to feed the levites & poor visitors & it was more of an optional thing. But because of our greed, we changed it from food to money & made it mandatory. Instead of our pastors to encourage members to store up the house of God with food which will be use to feed the poor, they have stylishly changed it to money. Try to read your bible... 1 Like |

Darvel: Food, bread, etc.... are used interchangeably in scriptures under one umbrella that is provisions or substance. Today the common denominator is money. You can replace the word 'food' for money. Does everyone who goes to church seek for rice and beans or does every beggar on the street need milk and sugar or is it turkey and sardine that will spread the gospel... The common denominator here is substance, money. It answers most of the questions above. It will feed, clothe, secure, heal, house and pay for tickets, books, airtime, etc. Your fixation with private jets shows where your heart is, certainly not on God. Because if you do you will be more concerned about obedience. If your loved one was ill will you look at what the doctor wears, rides or flies. Isn't your priority what he can do and what the outcome will be. Remember Christianity is a Faith and God will not force you to do anything. That is why those on both sides of the argument - the false tither and tithe thief appear to be getting away with it. Remain focused on obedience. |

mdokaba1: You are one of the people keeping beggars especially Muslim beggars on our street thinking free money will always come even when they have garnered enough money to start up a business Nothing is wrong with giving your tithe to a beggar though, but I prefer motherless home or anywhere you are sure the money will be well utilize and the glory will be giving to God eventually. |
Re: I Just Gave My Tithe To A Beggar. Was I Wrong? by KardinalZik(m): 11:22am On Oct 08, 2017 |
Malachi 3:10 talks about God's STOREHOUSE. It never talked about Temples, Synagogues, Churches, pastors, Bishops, Prophets et cetera. The bible states clearly that "Whoso is kind to the poor LEND unto the LORD...(Proverbs 19:17a)". Methinks there's a correlation between lending and storing, because in each case, there's an EXPECTED RETURN. |

Giving to the poor and giving tithes are two separate things. One act cannot replace the other. As a Christian that studies the word you should know that. Besides, beggars are not necessarily the poor that we should give to. Most beggars have begging as their profession...as their means of livelihood. There are people that genuinely poor and need the money but are not on the road begging. |

Dude you gave arms to the beggar and that's fine, the Bible says when you give to this ones you ve given to the lord... But don't mix it up tithing is on a different level, "that their may be meat in my house" and attracts a different kind of blessings from the Lord... So after playing half smart, when you are ready to give your tithe, dip hands into whatever that's left of your pay and do the needful if you are still interested in getting the blessings of tithing. 1 Like |

YOU ARE SO SO RIGHT AND BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE Giving to those in genuine need is the noble thing to do. That is true humanity and not religion. My problem, however, is giving to those beggars with complete hands and legs who have made begging their full-time occupation, yet have ten kids. I mean, we can all have sex and produce kids or can't we? When you decide to make kids for the purpose of increasing the number of beggars who harass people on the road in the name of begging for alms, sorry you cant be in my budget! mdokaba1: 1 Like |

My brother I dear not judge u on this... But would like to point ur attention to this... Malachi 3:10b says 'Bring your full tithe to the Temple treasury so there will be ample provisions in my Temple'. Because we tend to judge the Ministers of God and their life of affluence we also take part in their sins by taking what is not ours out of where it rightly belongs...Two wrongs don't make the right! I will still want to say this...'They that are led by the Spirit are Children of God'. If what you did was by prompting of the Spirit...I stand not to condemn you! But from all I read from u...you did that because you were planning to boycott Sunday service. As for putting a smile on the beggar...God's blessings won't elude you, and just as she did pray for you. Treasures are been unleased and unearthed for u. But you do need to put yourself aright. Give to Caesar what is due to Caesar and forget not to give to God what is truly HIS. SHALOM! 1 Like |

Reference: It's people like you that are perfect Christian sheep. The Bible tells us to be aware. If the tithe is strictly used to maintain the extravagant lifestyle of the pastor, then it'd be pure insanity to keep on giving, because there are people who really need such money. I don't see how Private Jets, exotic cars, and designer wears are used to propagate the Gospel. Even the Greatest preacher ever operated without tithes and offerings. Let's be wise please. 1 Like |
