asuustrike2009: 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 1 Like |

OkaiCorne: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. |

OkaiCorne: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 |

asuustrike2009: So your Bible says you can pay tithes to someone who is not a Levite? Interesting! Keep the Holy Fraud going |

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

asuustrike2009: 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: Many will hide under antitithe campaign to justify greed Galatians 6:8 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption James 4:3 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. |

OkaiCorne: There were no Levite in the days of Abraham . Tithes and offering are to worship God |
Re: Anti-tithing Thread by petra1(m): 9:19pm On Nov 13, 2017 |
betterABIAstate: 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 |

petra1:I won't pay tithe until you show me where Jesus and his apostles did it. Don't ask me uncorrelated questions |
Re: Anti-tithing Thread by petra1(m): 10:19pm On Nov 13, 2017 |
betterABIAstate: 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 . |

petra1: 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 |
Re: Anti-tithing Thread by petra1(m): 5:53am On Nov 14, 2017 |
OkaiCorne: 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. |
Re: Anti-tithing Thread by OkaiCorne(m): 6:27am On Nov 14, 2017 |
petra1: 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 were not doing God's work too? 1 Like |
Re: Anti-tithing Thread by petra1(m): 6:43am On Nov 14, 2017 |
OkaiCorne: 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 . 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? 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 |
Re: Anti-tithing Thread by OkaiCorne(m): 6:46am On Nov 14, 2017 |
petra1: 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. |
Re: Anti-tithing Thread by petra1(m): 6:51am On Nov 14, 2017 |
OkaiCorne: 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 . |
Re: Anti-tithing Thread by OkaiCorne(m): 7:11am On Nov 14, 2017 |
petra1: I do not believe in tithe for two reasons: 1) According to the Bible standards and instructions, nobody except the Levites qualify to collect tithes 2) Jesus expects sacrificial giving from the heart from Christians, and tithing is a very narrow view of Jesus expects from His followers. |
