Guess the devil has succeeded in putting confusion in the midst of christians

I love the response from the Catholic church

There is no issue in tithe

The bible is clear

Deutronomy 14:22-29
Case closed

Pastor Adenuga has said it all...people are not tired of paying tithe, they are only tired that the tithe been paid is not been used in the way of the lord. Now they enrich themselves with the hard earned money of the congregation....

They are quick to discuss TIithing but refuse to comment on Lybia slave trade.

They refuse to use their massive wealth to help the needy and improve the economy at large.

They prefer to compete with one another on who is richer and who owes the better private jet.

Is it an abormination for a pastor to help his congregation?

Is it wrong to give free tertiary education to members of your church having in mind that they contributed to build the said university?

God will judge!

The bible says " bring all ye tithes into my store-house, that there may be meat in my house"

So if the store house is not the church, pls enlighten me.. And tell me how what abiara said is in variance to what the bible said.

Thanjs

Bullshit!!!! Arrant nonsense!! The law of tithes was clearly stated how it is to be payed in Deuteronomy 14:22-29.Malachi did not promulgate a new law but rather was referring to the laws already promulgated by Moses. Go and read your Bible and stop allowing this criminals brainwash you

Some pay this tithe with the mindset of MMM, they pay not in thanksgiving but the intention is to receive interest on it!

well said.. About 90% of Nigerian tithers are greedy and self-centered

"If you ask to know the biblical reference, is it because of what you want to give to God? Has God not given more to us? Our welfare, the food, the planet, the water we drink, the air we breathe: are they small? Now, we want to give one-tenth to God and they are grumbling and saying they want to know the biblical basis. I am the biblical base for it and I am giving my testimony now; that the more I give to God, the more God gives to me. I am not going into that debate. Until I die and see my God, I will not go into that debate."


Imagine o! They want to help us send the tithes to Lord.

Nice one

Tithing is not for Christians.

Christians don't tithe,
Foolish Christians who don't know their left from the right spiritually tithe.

Pastors are more concerned about tithe than salvation.
Where a man's treasure is, that's where his heart is.
Do not pay tithes or offerings, we must help weed out pastors whose sole aim in ministry is exploiting people and amassing wealth.

No to Tithe!!!!
I do not tithe, I am wealthy and blessed all around.
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

If truly you are rich, you will not be in nairaland, seeing you typing this rubbish, it shows that poverty is your name.

Let tithe alone. Don't deceive people. Let them decide about their lives.


You and daddy freeze need serious deliverance.

The bible is also clear about cutting off your wife hands in the same Deuteronomy.
Deuteronomy 25:11-12 And about how a castrated person shouldn't enter the house of the lord.
Deuteronomy 23:1

I am surprised why your pastors sees only the tithing part.

are you sure you are blessed , if you are rich you will not be on Nairaland :-)

That is the crux of the matter. Freeze still leading. Attempts in bringing in traditions as expressed by the Catholic priests never add up. Mixing Christianity with paganism. No way. Truth is sacrosanct, Daddy Freeze, Bravo n more grease

Thiefs

Once has God spoken twice have I heard.
Tithing is so biblical I wonder why it's disputed.
Apart from d numerous Old Testament references on tithing,
in d New Testament Jesus commended d Pharisees for tithing but told them they need to pay more attention to love etc. Matth 23:23, Luke 11:42.

After Jesus death n ressurection, Paul referenced tithing in Heb 7:5,6,9 and in verse 8 it even states that u r a witness that Jesus lives by tithing.

Greedy pastors,gullible sheeple.

I asked a simple question calmly.

U cannot be explaining the scriptures with insults and so much venom..u should know better since u claim to know the scriptures so much..

PaChukwudi44:


Another disappointing one coming from Abiara.Totally at variance with what the Bible preaches

Tell us what did the Bible preaches? I am ready to learn from you

Old testament

In other words we should also discard the 10 commandments since its in the old testament.
And I hope u go to church with only a new testament bible

God will judge!

Your tithes cannot run tertiary institutions. Lets stop deceiving ourselves. A pepper seller who drops 5K monthly as tithe and has 5 children really expects those 5 to go to covenant university? Its not possible. The uni will be run down eventually or the standard worse than public institutions. Unless of course members like yourself agree to offer their services free of charge which is also not possible because your family has to feed.
A building means nothing. Its just like govt building structures about calling them hospitals without thinking of the running cost of such in terms of equipment, man power . At the end of the day , such hospitals become abandoned buildings last last.
I know a lot of civil servants whose children go to private unis. They are still meeting some needs. If not for private unis, there'll be more uneducated folks out there

Tithe paying IS NOT for Christians! But FREEWILL GIVING is.

9ja pple really have a long, long way to go. Common-sense seem to be a luxury in 9ja. How could nincompoops like Abiara and Makinde be referred to as men of God in the first place? The nasty Abiara guy that carries himself with soo much ego and pride thinking every member of CAC is beneath him... make Sub-Zero FREEZE dat filthy guts of his. FOOL!

Well said... Adenuga, Gonigi and Osu. God bless you!

Tithes and offering are used to pay pastors and other ministerial salaries, did Jesus ever receive salary during his time ?

true talk an individual's 5k can not run a university.

But then not all will qualify and not all congregation are students.

What am saying is simple
GIVE BACK TO THE SOCIETY

1. But where is it written that you should bring 10% of your profit/salary every month in a calender month?
2. What about pensioners, do they pay tithe on their pensions also, mind you these pensions are removed before the salaries are paid, and therefore are not part of the salary?

Lalasticlala more people need to see this

Is it your money? If people choose to tithe, it's their choice. Tithe has never been by force, it's a choice
