With all our problems in this country, na tithing thing come dey thread! I weep for my country!

Oildichotomy:
It would have also been better if your parents had aborted you, they did a bad job raising a child who gets pained and sad whenever a tithe is paid.

Channel your efforts into something worthwhile, tithe is not the reason you are poor please

So you got access to my finances via telepathy to know about my finances Abi

Seriously your parents should have used all that money wasted on you on tithe.

Oildichotomy:
You are not really smart buddy! You actually copied a dictionary definition??Really?

Frustration go kill some people for this tithe matter!!
Chai!!

Now I know you are a dumb follower or church goer. We are looking at what the bible teaches and you are here asking me to define terms for you. I wonder how my definition of the word 'truth' will affect or change what is written in the bible. Let it not be that you guys no longer have sense or make use of it. Abi since I failed woefully in defining truth for you then tithe doctrine for Christians will be added from Revelation chapter 23 to 40?

When I said you must answer my questions that's when fear catch you. #Istandwithfreeze, if you are proud of what Adeboye said, open your bible lets go there. Chickenout if you are an olodo or you open your bible. Shekina.

Seems people are now afraid to quote the bible. Well, not all read and understand.

Wow! By now they must have become richer than Dangote. Please don't use those words again, you are talking to a human being. It is heartless to say that tithe investment is better and that he is not a good investment.

FarahAideed:


True ..I see you are woke , so can you tell why churches value only money and material things as the best currency for tithe

This guy u really need to wake up. Do u argue with a closed mind. It was clear in the Bible that tithe is more of physical wealth. Gather your fruits, ur sheep and all your hands find doing sell them and bring ye your tithe into the house of God and to the Minister that feeds u spiritually and the Priest shall also give one tenth of all that the ppl have gathered.

Don't argue on what you don't knw much of to avoid God's wrath.

If u are still confused, see some of these Bible versions on Tithing.

Mathew 5:17
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Mathew 6:21
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Numbers 18:21
21 “I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the tent of meeting.


Numbers 18:26
26 “Speak to the Levites and say to them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe I give you as your inheritance, you must present a tenth of that tithe as the LORD’s offering.


Proverbs 3:9-10
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.



2 Chronicles 31:4-5
4 He ordered the people living in Jerusalem to give the portion due the priests and Levites so they could devote themselves to the Law of the LORD. 5 As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously gave the firstfruits of their grain, new wine, olive oil and honey and all that the fields produced. They brought a great amount, a tithe of everything.


Deuteronomy 12:5-6
5 But you are to seek the place the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for his dwelling. To that place you must go; 6 there bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, what you have vowed to give and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.


Genesis 14:19-20
19 and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. 20 And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.


Genesis 28:20-22
20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear 21 so that I return safely to my father’s household, then the LORD will be my God 22 and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.”


Nehemiah 10:35-37
35 “We also assume responsibility for bringing to the house of the LORD each year the firstfruits of our crops and of every fruit tree. 36 “As it is also written in the Law, we will bring the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests ministering there. 37 “Moreover, we will bring to the storerooms of the house of our God, to the priests, the first of our ground meal, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees and of our new wine and olive oil. And we will bring a tithe of our crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all the towns where we work.


Leviticus 27:30-34
30 “ ‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. 31 Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod—will be holy to the LORD. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.’ ” 34 These are the commands the LORD gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.


Malachi 3:8-12
8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ “In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the LORD Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the LORD Almighty.


Romans 3:21-31
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. 27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

If sucking Freeze's D catches your fancy please be my guest and do it passionately. Whatever rocks your boat buddy!!

Don't just be frustrated others are paying their tithe!! Last I checked, it ain't your money!
Deal with it!!!

1. Firstly, you use define truth escape.
2. Secondly, you use daddy freeze pick race. Upon all I said opening your scripture you still find excuse to cut corner.

I taught you know something when you threatened to make me look dumb. Yea it is not my money but I can't be silent when I see lies. You should also deal with your frustration on how we expose fraud in the name of tithe using the scripture.

Oildichotomy:
Let's give it to Freeze that he won the argument that tithing is wrong, My question is now that he is not paying, Is his finances better for it?

People that argue this tithing thingy come off as people with low self esteem and inferiority complex with high aka-gum mentality. One thing I know for sure is Freeze is doing this for the followership that this could bring to his pocket

once you give it to freeze that he won the argument that tithing is wrong, your other submissions become nullified.

Freeze never said not tithing will improve your finances.

and there is absolutely no correlation between arguing against tithing and low-self esteem/inferiority complex.

PrecisionFx:



Yes, their tactics is more than gun flinging..

Pastors use scare tactics n spiritual blackmail to coerce followers to pay tithe.

Pastors will tell their foolish mugus to bring 10% of their earnings(Into the pastors bank account ) or else God will send the devourers to decimate their source of income, that they are stealing from God.
The funny thing is that the Malachi 3 vs 8 - 10 the pastors use for their threat is actually a warning from God to the pastors about not paying upto 10% of the tithe they receive. Every thing about Tithe rules n regulations is in the books of the law and that is Deuteronomy. God said tithes is for widows, orphans,motherless, fatherless poor people, foreigners who have no land. Deuteronomy 14 vs 28 and Deuteronomy 26 be 12.

(some pastors even tell students that have no source of employment to pay tithes or else.............Idiots)

If I tell you I don't pay tithe nko? But I don't need to castigate them cos they did not point gun in anybody's head. Only the gullibles believe what pastord say will happen if they don't pay.

Oildichotomy:
Don't twist the narratives just yet, You should have asked yourself, Why are you not as rich as Dangote since you don't pay?

You should some $40 billion savings already yeah?

You should ask yourself why none of your tithes have made you richer than that muslim.

Oildichotomy:
So after the whole banter we had, You are still living in the fool's paradise of me arguing Christianity or scriptures with you today!

It is very obvious you are not a smart human being!

Bro am not smart in defrauding people. Am not also smart in dribbling people. I never knew I was wasting my time with someone that can neither learn nor teach.

Please don't mention me again or ask me to define anything for you. I will not also mention you.

I was here

EPAINYOU:


Wow! By now they must have become richer than Dangote. Please don't use those words again, you are talking to a human being. It is heartless to say that tithe investment is better and that he is not a good investment.

I think that with the level of stupidity he has displayed so far by insinuating that NON payment of tithes makes people poor, his parents should have put all the money on tithes rather than invest and then reap such stupidity from their investment.

I understand why this issue is becoming more pronounced. Today, people are more aware and conscious of what's happening around them, we see pastors flaunt wealth on social media and live a luxurious life, almost close to politicians.
Tithe is an avenue where SOME pastors get money to upgrade their lifestyle.
The Church is supposed to complement the Government by providing Free education, healthcare, help the less privileged and impact their immediate environment from tithe and offering, hence they are tax exempt, but what we see today is different.
I think Tithing is biblical, how is the utilised is what people should respectfully ask their pastors/bishops/reverend and ensure they are accountable for it
Please do not let them cajole you with Psalm 105:15 or I Chronicles 16:22.
Have a blessed week.

THINKING ABOUT TITHE PAYMENT TODAY

Scripted by Mike Udam and powered by Evangelismportal2017

brilliant submission. logical and yet relying on scripture. few questions however:

(1) which of the 4 types of tithes is mandatory and which is optional

(2) Type 3 and Type 4 tithes seem to refer to one and same.

(3) you made no mention of malachi chapter 3

Oildichotomy:
Your parents though!! How did they raise you?

I'll tell you. They did not raise me to believe NON payment of tithes makes you as poor as non payers such Dangote, Oprah, Gates unlike some unfortunate people who were raised like that

Chai! Bros easy o. You should understand that he doesn't know anything and does not want to know. He only acts base on emotions, uses insult and mockery to escape sensible questions. I have had countless experience with such people here on Nairaland.

I think he should pay more tithe now and bear children later may at age 60 to avoid wasting his investment. By then he will be rubbing shoulder with Dangote, Dantata, and Bill Gate.

Pastors force people to pay tithe.

the Bible says pay tithe

[quote author=sharpwriter post=62152210]
My dear it is an issue. God is greater than all men of God. Let us be sincere. He has quoted the scriptures. The problem is that many Christians dont read the bible, and even wen they read, the voice from the pulpit ushers threat to people to bring them to subjugation. In the things of God, it is rare for a servant to be hundred percent right (perfection wasn't even found in Elijah). However, the issue is that it is being made a law in the church. You have said right that let anyone that wants to pay, pay. But those who are not paying should not be intimidated as ''BEING ROBBING GOD.'' No, they are not. It is good to give even all yu have to God, but more important to know that you paid nothing and your tithe wasn't relevant in the day that you received Jesus which earned you salvation. If you argue, I will give you an assignment to Go and read Malachi that is being used often from chapter 1, and you will know that those commandments was Paying of tithes is biblical

CNNN:
why are people attaching so much importance to this guy called frz?

Because they are stingy

Please Daddy Freeze go on and expose them all. Thieves!
