Every time I read deutronomy 14 22 - 29; I laugh in Hebrew! It lands a devastating blow on what ever argument or defence any modern day tithe obsessed pastopreneur might attempt to establish. If you truly and honestly study this passage of the bible you should easily come to the following conclusions

1 that tithes are tangible, consumable agro produce.
2. That tithing are Done annually and every three years.
3. That the annual tithing is a God ordained act for tither to express a heartfelt gratitude, worship and thanks to God for the blessing of that year's fruit fullness through the consumption of the tithe ( Agro produce) with his household at a Place his Lord God Chooses to place his name.
4. That the Lord God being aware of the existence of Money (Silver) at that biblical time never instructed that money should be given as tithe.
5. That if God actually meant it for money to be used as tithe; he would not have instructed that it be used to purchase tangible, consumable, Agro or drinks or anything that the tither's heart lust or desire after; even fermented drink.

6 That even after the Lord God recognised that in instance in which tithe of increase being agric produce could be too heavy for the tither to carry to the place he chooses for his name; and he the tither was told to change it into money, the same Lord God instructed that the same money be used to buy whatsoever the tither's heart desire; a tangible, consumable Agro produce; because seriously if one thinks about it; can anyone literally chew or drink money ? Certainly not ; thus as far as our Lord God Is concerned consumption of a tenth (tithe) of the tither's annual increase is to be eating ( chewed an swallowed) in the spirit of thanks and expressed gratitude towards our Lord God for the fruitfulness of the last 1 year.

In summary; the annual tithe is agric produce practically chewed, swallowed and washed down with drinks ( even fermented ones) by the tither and his household in expression of thanks to the Lord God at his place of chosen.

The 2nd category of tithe according to this wonderful passage of the scripture are tithe given every 3rd year ( not annually please). You will also conclude thereof;

1. That the 3 yearly tithe is for 4 categories of people and not exclusive to any one category namely: a, Levites. b, Widows, c, Strangers and
d, Fatherless (Orphans)
2, That the 3 yearly tithe are also tangible consumable Agric produce to be set at the tither's gate for these categories of people to take and eat.

By inference, a tither can on occasion of every 3 years take 1/10 of his increase that year and share it among these 4 categories of people.

In summary tithes that goes to the Levites are 3 yearly tithes which are not exclusive to them but Inclusive of the fatherless, Widows and Strangers.

Would given one's tithe ( 3 yearly) to Strangers or a widow or an orphan scriptural ? Ans is absolutely Yes and in line with this passage.

Thus if we even assume or accepts that the modern day pastors are Levites, they are only entitled ( not in whole but in part) to tithes given at the end of every 3 years.

The Levites ( if our modern day pastor are still feeling levitical) are mandated to also give 1/10 of these 3 yrly tithes they received to the house of God ; which gets me thinking seriously about who actually is robbing according to their ever handy and easily quoted Malachi 3 ?

Just say you don't know the bible. Hebrews 7:2

DeSepiero:
Very soon, more people will join freeze in courageously criticising these men in the open.

lonelydora:
Most people criticising pastors do not even pay tithe or contribute more than 2000 naira for a church project, and they make the loudest noise.

Real givers in church who give large amount of money does so secretly without anyone's knowledge.

People, if as a contractor, i win a big contract or i get promoted in my job with the aid of my pastors prayers, omo, what is 10% or more to give God back?

If you can't pay tithe, leave those that understands the kingdom's principles of tithing to continue.

A check on my bosses, have shown that they donate massively in church projects/pay tithes, reason they keep getting it back in folds.

I have some Alhaji friends (non-fanatics) who whenever i give them invitation for a church project launching, they willingly give me big money in an envelope to give to the Church.

WE NEED A CREED ON CHRISTIAN THREADS HERE JUST LIKE THE MUSLIMS HAVE.

See what Daddy Freeze has caused with his sheeple movement thingy!

I believe so much in giving to God , and how?
My bible tells me that 'whatsoever you do to all these people hungry and naked in the world you have done for me'.

I pay my tithe (which is solely beetween me and Baba God) and only I know the medium I pay it through, it's a personal choice.
GOD BLESS US ALL.

Desyner:
Why should they resign? God says He Will bless the work of our hands and we should avoid idleness.

Ovokoo:
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.

Watch the Video: this is a very old video, not even this year, so how is it a response to daddy freeze. He wasnt even talking on d subject entirely he just deviated into it

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"...

You gave a non-contextual interpretation of that verse, sir. You simply took out the agricultural product part, completely ignoring the other parts.

In those days, there were little use of money as most items were procured by products' exchange. So, agric products were almost equivalent to present day money.

Of course, we cant all bring our "products" (and services) to God as tithe today. We bring money equivalent.

From that verse, Jesus appreciated the Pharisees for paying their tithes, but he encoyraged them to participate in weightier issue of life. This implies that the tithe is good and biblical, but should be done alongside other good things

Klimaths:
and Jesus Christ also appreciated the existence of the Sabbath day, Luke 4:16, Jesus recognized the Sabbath day. So why are Pentecostal church not practicing the Sabbath day to keep it holy. There nothing you tithe folks want say your bishops and pastors have failed ours.
