Do Jehovah's Witnesses Practice Tithing? by Nobody: 1:56pm On Dec 03, 2017 |
This article belongs to www.jw.org No, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not practice tithing; our work is financed by anonymous voluntary donations. What is a tithe, and why don’t Jehovah’s Witnesses practice tithing? The commandment to tithe, or contribute a tenth of one’s belongings, was part of the Law given to the ancient nation of Israel. However, the Bible makes it clear that this Law—including the “commandment to collect tithes”—does not apply to Christians.—Hebrews 7:5, 18; Colossians 2:13, 14. Rather than giving required tithes and offerings, Jehovah’s Witnesses imitate the early Christians and support their ministry in two ways: by performing their personal ministerial work without pay and by making voluntary donations. We thus follow the Bible’s direction to Christians: “Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”—2 Corinthians 9:7. 1 Like |

Clonus: That's how Christianity is meant to be. True Christians must adhere to the Bible in all the teachings. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 says "All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work" |

AgricSalt: The point is to show us that Haile Selassie I is the only foundation...Let us not be fooled by Foreign religion...see my page for more details... And the point of your question is? If you dont want me to comment on your post, just say so and I promise to stay away. Peace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=856KLlyN2_8 |

Tampinu: Oh well... 1. You have derailed from the topic of tithing 2. Would you say that the worship of The creator, Jehovah God is "foreign"? Because the bible has proved to be his word, and what we do we learn from it. 2 Likes |

AgricSalt: Thank you for the questions; in a question can a destiny be measured. A question shows humility on the part of the questioner, and expected knowledge on that of the questionee...hmmm I have not derailed from the topic, for you and I are Africans; and Emperor Haile Selassie I has told us that we are in bondage for following foreign religion (Google Haile Selassie I on Spirituality). Secondly, to worship Jehovah God is not foreign, however to do so according to the teachings, leanings and doctrine that is not originally African, is erroneous and dangerous. I can be contacted if u need any further clarification. Peace |

AgricSalt: Emperor Haile Selassie I on Spirituality: "The temple of the most high begins with the human body, which houses our life, essence of our existence. Africans are in bondage today because they approach spirituality through Religion provided by foreign invaders and conquerors. We must stop confusing religion and spirituality. Religion is a set of rules, regulations and rituals created by humans which were supposed to help people grow spiritually. Due to human imperfection religion has become corrupt, political, divisive and a tool for power struggle. Spirituality is not theology or ideology. It is simply a way of life, pure and original as was given by the Most High. Spirituality is a network linking us to the Most High, the universe and each other. As the essence of our existence it embodies our culture, true identity, nationhood and destiny. A people without a nation they can really call their own is a people without a soul. Africa is our nation and is in spiritual and physical bondage because her leaders are turning to outside forces for solutions to African problems when everything Africa needs is within her. When African righteous people come together, the world will come together. This is our divine destiny". Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, 1960

basmur: Na JAH dash my sinner Salvation, you cannot dictate what type of truth I should speak on a forum where the theme is Salvation and the OP has the choice to ask me not to comment but prefers to listen to the word of the living God, which penetrates all darkness and obstacles. It is not my belief as I don't believe in anything. Ra'Star4Eye taught eye to know or know not. Believe has the word lie in between it and as I don't tell lies I try to eschew belief. I know or know not. And I know that RASTA is the way. Rev 2:17, Rev 3:12 Is it now the type of truth that hurts? Sorry to disappoint you but Jeezus is fake and the true saviour does not have blue eyes. Read Psalm 87, KJV. I think I will continue to Tampinu for as long as the original owner of this post is willing and able to accommodate me. Bless him. Peace and Love RASTAFARI
