From that video, Oyedepo didnt exactly talk about Tithing. He only gave a subtle and logical explanation on the giving using the case study of an elephant.

Oyedepo has a good sense of humour tho

Matthew 23:23
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

Can someone explain to us what he/she understood from this passage?

sarutobie:

Good! Why did Christ say in the last sentence? He said that we should do the most important things which are justice, love and good living WHILE still not neglecting the lesse things which include tithing....Christ said that himself! I wonder why you all deviously shy away from that last sentence.

Religious belief is an invisible security blanket for insecure individuals.
Closeted minds will continue to allow brainwashing and indoctrination by religious leaders that there is a 'god', and there was a 'jesus', in order that the people with closed minds allow themselves to be controlled so that the various Corporations (churches) remain profitable as the tax-free money continues to roll in.

seguno2:


Addressing Jews before He fulfilled the law. Christians are NOT under the Jewish laws.
Lesser things of tithing, which is NOT money but only food and agricultural products.
Any further questions?

IamtherealRita:
I can boldly tell all those tithe collecting Pastors this

You are not an example to any serious Christian, Yes any Christians that is serious with his Christian journey here on earth should never take you guys serious

Any scriptural evidence to back up your claim or are you just hallucinating? 10/100 of my income cannot kill me, rather, it safeguards me against all forms of devourers. The carnal mind can never receive this or understand it. Selah! I even want to start tithing for my unborn children since I already have their names.

The debate about whether to pay tithe or not has been raging for some time in the Nigerian Christendom. With controversial OAP, Daddyfreeze stoking the embers. Different pastors have responded but have failed to give scriptural evidence of the aforementioned. FInally, the Pastor of the Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo has come out to disclaim the claims that Tithing is no biblical.

Very smart albeit untrue answer, Christ himself said he came to complete the law and not to do away with it....Christ didn’t come for the sake of the Jews alone...I wonder where you got this interpretation from? NOT everyone farms,especially in this 21st century..so monetary donation is much more convenient..

Apostle Freeze, Nigerian pastors nightmare.

I do not totally support Freeze blasting Nigerian pastors but these revered men of God are quite care less about the concerns of their members.

How I wish Nigerian churches can vigorously empower people with their proceeds in the same manner they plant churches in every nooks and crannies.


They don't pay tax so we need significant evidences that big and mega churches are dear to the less privileged. It's true they build Schools but most of the time, they are not affordable to the masses. If they keep claiming running cost of those institution is high, why do they not build vocational centres.


The truth is that church is an economic society and there must be redistribution of income in that regard. They make money from various classes of people in form of offering, tithes likewise should their facilities be accessible to various strata that makes up the church.


In civilized world, churches are properly monitored because so much money revolve in the industry. This became evident in the last dispensation that people starting raising concerns for taxing religious organizations.


So I am of the opinion that to whom much is given, much is expected. Even Jesus took cognizance of hunger in the church by feeding the 5000 people before preaching to them. It is a subtle​ crime when you keep collecting from the populace (in name of prayers/soln to their problems) when you can actually empower them.


My pastors, I don't criticize payment of Offerings and Tithe but let the welfare of these people be of great concern and not planting of churches.


let's imagine a Nigeria where Economy is bouyant, employment rate is high and there is quality standard of living, trust me we would have less prayer request in churches based on this regard and fewer monetization for greedy pastor.


Deliverance offering, Employment offering and seed sowing, Good life offering. It is well!


Only an unbiased mind would reason along....

I believe this tithing issues is a personal issue where every party has his or right to his own opinion.

1. Wearing trouser or not wearing trouser.

2. We should worship on Saturday not Sunday

3. Alcohol or no alcohol.

4. Now...... Tithe or no tithe

It's all matter of personal faith and believe

sarutobie:
Can any TRUE christain with his/her bible at hand open to Matthew 23:23 and tell us what he/she understood from that passage(which was Christ himself speaking on the matter of tithing)...

XXLDICK:
OP, you must be high on Osogbo weed for making to waste my time and data. Mtcheeew.

Don't waste your data, he didn't speak about tithe


He spoke about just cows, elephants and cats . Nothing relevant.


Moral of the video, do not shit more than what you eat

wirinet:
If you and your "man of God" DON'T keep the Sabbath (which is STILL Saturday), you don't celebrate Yom Kippur, you don't wear a Yarmulke,neither is there is Mezuzah on your door.You don't celebrate Bar/Bat Mitzvah for your sons/daughters(or you have no idea what all the Jewish customs mean and you just want Google it now!)...and you are claiming New Testament Levite so that you can eat the offerings in God's "house"...
