God bless you sir. God demands obedience ,not choosing which of his word to obey but to obey in everything and trust that he will do his part as we do our part.That is when our obedience is complete and his blessing upon our lives sure. illitrate: |

bedspread: He paid his tithe in the right place 100% Tithes are meant for 5 categories of people; 1. The Levites. 2. The widows. 3. The Ophans. 4. You(the payee)and yes I mean you. 5. Strangers. Kindly read Deu 14:29. Thank you 1 Like |

This isn't meant to be discriminatory, but are you a muslim? You feel blessed by the prayers of a muslim Abeg to which' god'? Based on Deuteronomy 14:22-29,i believe you can also tithe by giving to men of God who have been a blessing to you, your church because you also get blessed there, widows, orphans, needy .you must give to those who need it cos some are addicts.etc. I believe it should be split along these lines based on your discretion. These muslim beggars, do you know what they do with the alms they receive cause I learnt they perform certain rituals on such money. In all ask God for directions so you don't sow on barren land or lose your blessings. mdokaba1: |

HajimeSaito: Giving to the poor is good and commendable. But it is not tithe and should not be equated to it or confused with it. Even in the church, offering is different from tithe. Everything has its place cause when Mary poured the oil to honour Jesus and Judas tried to make "common sense" argument for the poor, the Lord gave him appropriate response. Now this doesn't mean I support Pastors that live flamboyant lives with church offerings and tithe. |

HajimeSaito:there are difference between the gift we give out, offerings and tight God specifically said it in the book of Hebrew that we should bring all the tights and offering into his house so that there will be food in his house, that verse specify the exact place where our tight should be paid am not against given out to the poor in fact if not bcs this verse is in the Bible i will not be given this pastors anything bcs they receive much and will not help the poor in there churches sometime when you go to church you will see some people that pove practicing rty is showing in there face both the pastor will be riding more than one car why not help the poor around him, as such what he preach? coming back to your issue doing the right thing in the wrong way makes it wrong but considering you excuse we live this judgment to God. |

Originalsly: It should be taken to the storehouse and not to the church that is where the mistake lies with lot if interpretations. The storehouse is not the temple nor is it the church. It is the place where food is stored and that definitely is not the church. |

Abraham was the first person to pay his tithe and he didn't just pay it to anybody but rather he brought it to the high priest (Melchizedek). The tithe is not ur money but God's money, its like ur tax u cannot just take ur tithe to anywhere u think n pay it. there is an instruction in the Bible on how to do so and d Bible says instruction is life. Nobody is against giving money to d poor or our parents. We do give and much more but we don't give them our tithe but from the rest after paying our tithe. Its God agenda for d church to be super rich and no man can stop it. If u like give or don't give it cannot b stopped. If u are a christian study d word of God properly n act as one. There is blessing for God children everyday and doing the right thing we make u bless. U are a blessing to d church I don't ever find urself saying negative things about the church. |

Only a hypocrite will see his blood brother or neighbor going hungry and carry his money to a pastor who owns 3 cars and 3 houses.. Even the poster is very wrong to avoid his hungry neighbor.. 2 Likes |

You can be benevolent to the poor even unbelievers do that but Tithe is to be paid to your local church where you are 'fed'. Tithes are paid into church NOT to Pastors. 1 Like |

Honour2: The book of malachi you quoted was not talking about cash. Secondly, you may need to read chapter 2 of same malachi to understand what it was referring to. The message was simply urging the children of Isreal to repent from their sinful ways and return to God. It was equally urging them to stop neglecting the levites, as they(levites)have all left their calling which is just to serve God, and start engaging in other ventures to make ends meet, since the other tribes have stopped remembering them with their tithes as commanded by Moses. Remember, the main function of tithe, was to encourage the levites who have no inheritance, not to make the pastors and Bishops to become rich. 1 Like |

Student125: Nope, that's the beauty of worship. Unofficially, u can reach God anywhere but officially, the church. Do u know u can get married anywhere ..just u and your woman...even in the bedroom and God will acknowledge it? But you will also be told in time to go and do things better in church. its hard to explain but the church is the official place to do things before God.It is where people run to for help, though, not their bedroom |

Most people believe it is wrong to answer a question with a question.A study of the bible shows that Jesus did answer a lot of questions with questions. I would like to know if the OP is a born again christian.Only a born again Christian should bother about tithe payment and mode of payment .For an unbeliever,you need first and foremost salvation.

Sorry but have to say this, are you a muslim? You felt blessed by the prayers of a muslim beggar,abeg to which god? I learnt that these muslim beggars perform certain rituals on the alms they receive, so be careful. Based on Deuteronomy 14:22-29,i believe you can pay you tithe to a pastor who has blessed you, your church, or ministry which has blessed you, widows, orphans and the needy. You even have to be careful cause some of these beggars are addicts. In all pray to God for wisdom and direction before taking such decision so you don't end up sowing on barren land or losing your blessings. Have a Blessed Sunday. mdokaba1: 1 Like |

mdokaba1:of course, it's not wrong "if u are led by the spirit of God to give it to a begger. but there is difference between tithe and alms. they both attract God's blessing and they both are God's commandment. tithe is to be taken to the house of God not as an alm, but if the SPIRIT OF GOD minister to u to give it as an alm to a begger go ahead. but if not led, my brother u didn't give tithe u gave alm. u might need to pay another tithe . |
