I laugh . Was not eating of pig stated in the Bible yes or no? Do you drink blood because did Jesus say so?

OkaiCorne:


Kindly direct me to a Levite (Not a Rabbi or Pastor o)

I will gladly give him a tenth of my farm produce...but guess what, I'm not a farmer

And Levite Priests are now past tense... so just show me a Levite Priest

OkaiCorne:


Why do we have to pay tithes when Jesus has advised us to do better?

By the way, my body is now the living temple (and not a church building nor Church Pastor)

So therefore... I can swallow my tithe

asuustrike2009:

The priest of old has similar characteristics with this present ones(pastors, rev,bishop). Now if you're not comfortable with paying tithes in churches headed by single founder,you can pay in churches headed by a rev under control of elders, parish council e.t.c .A good example is the Catholic,Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist and other Orthodox churches. The most important thing is that you have fulfill the scriptures in the book of mal 3:8-10.

asuustrike2009:

Jesus didn't advise us against paying either.
Your body is the living temple of the holy spirit yes I agree. The church is a gathering, pastors or rev are stewards while Jesus is the head of the church

OkaiCorne:


My body is a living temple with a functional storehouse. I will use my tithe to maintain the storehouse in this living temple

Period!

OkaiCorne:


My body is a living temple with a functional storehouse. I will use my tithe to maintain the storehouse in this living temple

Period!

OkaiCorne:


So your Bible says you can pay tithes to someone who is not a Levite? Interesting!


Keep the Holy Fraud going

asuustrike2009:

My Bible says I should pay to God not man

OkaiCorne:


So the Levites were God abi?

asuustrike2009:

The levites are priest,pastors of our time. They're the custodian of God's money and they render stewardship to him

OkaiCorne:


My body is a living temple with a functional storehouse. I will use my tithe to maintain the storehouse in this living temple

Period!

petra1:



1Corinthians 9:13(AMPC)
13 Do you not know that those men who are employed in the services of the temple get their food from the temple? And that those who tend the altar share with the altar [in the offerings brought]?
14 [On the same principle] the Lord directed that those who publish the good news (the Gospel) should live (get their maintenance) by the Gospel..

OkaiCorne:


Kindly direct me to a Levite (Not a Rabbi or Pastor o)

I will gladly give him a tenth of my farm produce...but guess what, I'm not a farmer

And Levite Priests are now past tense... so just show me a Levite Priest

betterABIAstate:
I did no do the part that said pay tithe every 3years and burnt offerings

petra1:


The 3 year tithe was for the poor . It never replace the one for God in support of the ministers of the sanctuary . Why dwelling on the minor . We tithe not because it was mentioned in the law . But because it’s a principle . Fasting was in the law prayer was in the law . Giving alms was in the law why are we still doing them

betterABIAstate:
I can't believe you Sir, cos you want me to pay tithe. Tithing is not Christianity, Jesus never did it

petra1:


Do you believe in fasting , praying , giving offering?

betterABIAstate:
I won't pay tithe until you show me where Jesus and his apostles did it. Don't ask me uncorrelated questions

petra1:


But you know there’s no place such is written . Avoid insincere question . I’m sure the reason you couldn’t answer me is because you’ found yourself guilty by that question I asked . I can understand you inability to answer . Silence is consent . You can see my point now. If you condemn tithe because it’ was mentioned in the law anf you give offering , pray , fast , give to beggars , worship etc . It is hypocrisy to condemn the tight ( no offense ) They were all part of the law together .

So my point is we do all these not because the law say so but because they are principles . There Re spiritual principle mentioned in the law .The only things done away are what christ has fulfilled . He didn’t fulfill alms to the poor , he didn’t fulfill prayer , he didn’t fulfill offering but he fulfill burnt offering which is Sin offering , he didn’t fulfill tithe .

betterABIAstate:
I won't still pay it until you quote the bible where Jesus preached or practised tithing

petra1:


It’s about the topic and not about you paying . If you pay you reap the benefit if you don’t na your wahala

Read Mattew 23:23

betterABIAstate:
stop quoting this your Mathew 23:23 version, Jesus is not a tither

petra1:


Where did the Bible say so

petra1:


There were no Levite in the days of Abraham . Tithes and offering are to worship God

OkaiCorne:


The era of Abraham was a precedence. Kindly show me a scripture where God directed us to pay tithes to Rabbis, Prophets and Apostles. These ones were working full-time for God too na

petra1:


Tithe is given to God . And it is used for the work of God as well as welfare for those who work in the house of God as full time worker either as staff or minister . Parallel to what is done with tithes and offerings in the Old Testament

1 Corinthians 9:13-14
Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

OkaiCorne:


The scripture you quoted, does it refer to tithes or offering? I'm still looking for the word "tithe" in there. Thanks

If tithe is given to God, why were the Levites the only eligible recipients in the scriptures? Why not Rabbis, Scribes and Prophets? Abi they are not doing God's work too?

petra1:


It was through tithes and offerings full time ministers and workers get their welfare . Paul said the same manner applies to the church . Jesus endorsed tithe and offering . There never a place God put an end to them .



Every one who serves God full time must be taken care of . Even widows who have no job and are serving as intercessors should be paid just like anna

OkaiCorne:


I totally agree with you on the fact that those totally committed to doing God's work should be taken care of. But that is through welfare offering and other voluntary donations as God lays it upon one's heart....but not through tithes, that's my point.

petra1:


If you believe in offering why not tithe both were given before the law , in the law and were both endorsed by christ . Malachi didn’t talk about tithes only

Malachi 3:8 (KJV)
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me.
But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?
In tithes and offerings.

Why are we singling our the tithe . Offering , tithe, alms for the poor ,prayers , fasting and honoring father and mother were all principles in the Bible . Why will someone single out the tithe and say because it’ was mentioned in the law? We’re all these other ones not mentioned in the law ? There’s no single scripture where God ended tithing .
