I thought all this tithe brouhaha was dropped in 2017; for pete's sake, paying of tithes by a believer doesn't bring only financial blessings. besides, tithing is an obligation. |

Bill gates ?? There are millions of rich people who do not pay a dime to charlatan pastors, and there is a huge middle class who are very comfortable and do not pay a dime to these crooks. Paying tithes does not bring any blessings, in fact, it may even make God angry because you think you can buy his blessings without hard work. Pastors get a freaking JOB, people are not meant to feed you and your family for eternity !!!!!!!!!!! 2 Likes |

Meloshi: No where in the bible did it say that paying tithes makes anyone rich. Tithing is a covenant obligation and not to make anyone rich. The same Bible says God will bless the work of your hands. He that does not work, let him not eat. Too many people like Reno quote what is not in the bible. 1 Like |

No matter how Freeze read the Bible he can never understand let alone the spirituality of the WORD, because a stranger can never dictate to me in my land.

Leonbonapart:Good bless you. To think Reno is a Pastor and wrote this is a shame, and shows the level of Ignorance in the body of Christ. Being rich or success is a product of principles - a biblical doctrine, sowing and reaping. You don't need to be a believer to experience this. It is just like "seeing a man diligent in his work" these are just principles that work for everyone irrespective of whether you are born again or not. And tithe is an act of faith, we engage it because it is an act of love to God and His sanctuary. Abraham started it, not for wealth but his love for God. |

Statsocial:Churches must not be Built, Schools Must. Nigeria has over 22000 registered church more than any where else in the world, despite all that church we still rank 2nd poorest nation in world poverty index, soon to overtake India. Your pastors are only getting richer, the only way your income tripples is when you tripple your effort, wake up bro, This pastors are taking your money. As a Christian your life is supposed to be lived the way Jesus lived. So you have no business paying or receiving tithe, because Jesus never did. He didnt pay or recieve tithe. And just so you know your Malachi is Flawed please read up Hebrews 7,18. |

eezeribe: Oga there is nothing to flaw or argue with freeze. If you are looking for men's wisdom or philosophy to back up your Christianity, then you really don't understand what Christianity is about. Apostle Paul wrote and said "for we came not to you with enticing words of man's wisdom......". Christianity is based on faith and obedience to God. Paying of tithes and giving offerings alone will not make you rich. I pay tithes and give offerings, but I am not under any illusion that they are the ONLY keys to prosperity. You cannot prosper without producing something or rendering a service. It is what you do that God would bless to make you prosper the more. I pay tithes because God commanded it in Malachi 3. Even if there is no prosperity in it for me, I will still pay tithes as long as God commanded us to do so in his word. Remember it was also Jesus who said "give and it shall be given unto you, good measure pressed down shaken together and overflowing shall men give back unto you...." If Jesus believes that we can be rewarded with more prosperity when we give, then who am I to say it's not true?? 1 Like |

Temysteve:well said...most people especially the unbelievers approach the bible prior to the words seen and not their spiritual meaning. I remember somewhere in the bible where Jesus said “i shall destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days" but still yet, the pharisees and others didn't understand the spiritual meaning of what he said. 2 Likes |

eezeribe:(Talking about the man you mentioned)...Pls don't get it wrong. That one allows a mad man to have a go at him/her doesn't mean he/she is weak or foolish. It's simply because he/she knows the other man is mad! You don't want to have anything to do with a mad man lest you are seen as one. My submission: Judge a book by it's cover. Let every Man prove his teachings by the lives he touched (not some posts of how jamb fee was paid for someone, everybody does this) for by their fruits, we will know them! |

Education and or status in the society is not an assurance of overall knowledge. Reno is an intelligent man and mere mortal but not in the things of God. He might have wide knowledge in Bible history and knowledge, which may not be different from that of an antichrist. Bible is not university books, but is spiritual, inspired by the Holy Spirit and it is only those filled with spirit of Christ will understand and properly interpret the scriptures. It is not based on status in a denomination or man-given accolade. " as many as received Jesus Christ, as Savoiur and Lord, to them God gave power to be the sons of God" Understanding the scripture and obedience to God ( as the Bible is His word) is by faith. A true christian walk with God in faith not by feeling or man's intuition. To the real issue, every man in life pays tithes to one deity or the other; God or devil. Genuine christians pay tithe not for prosperity or to be rich but in obedience to God. Of note satan can still prosper those that serve him; of which Reno is aware. One can be rich without being a christian. " God give rain to the just and unjust" He can prosper one for a testimony of HIS infinite mercy and goodness. There are different facet of riches - good health -is one of them |

Statsocial:sorry. How much was Apostle Paul paid? Apostle was actually a tent maker, he even though was a Lawyer, chose to make tents because he doesn't want the profession to become an obstacle to his ministry and he doesn't want to become a burden to other people, he even worked as a tent maker alongside Aquila and his wife Priscilla. Pastors don't get paid for preaching the good news, if he is being paid, the he is not a pastor but a peddler of God's word. |

So why are you tithng then.quote author=eezeribe post=64055899]What he said is the truth,people who defend religion with sentiment and not logic,only give credence to the saying that religion is still the opium of the masses.... It's mostly the poor and broke ones that sing this song in church... 'more than a millionaire since I have Jesus'.... WHAT AN OPIUM INDEED;giving them an illusionary good feeling like Morphin and Heroine. No single pastor has been able to flaw Daddy Freeze's logic with sound biblical references... I am a tither,but it's good to keep emotions aside and let the cerebrum do it's work... [/quote] |

ericsmith:Why is it that it's only when it comes to religion that we don't make use of our brain? For instance, u want to cross the road, your brain tells u that there's an incoming car, u stop. U want to drink, u see dirt inside u don't drink again. We make use of our brain always and it works, so why shouldn't we use it to understand religion. Doesn't it give u a warning sign that there's something wrong? Walking on water? Getting money out of the mouth of a fish? All these unverified stories in no way helped humanity, Thomas Edison, Michael Faraday etc has better, verified and helpful stories. Besides, there's nothing special about bringing money from fishes mouth. Today, man can explore space, fly in the air, reach the highest mountains etc. Please make use of your brain, if not, it means that you're being brainwashed. It might be too late to realize. Also, if you're close to these so called men of God, you'll get to see how affluent and wasteful they live. You'll get to know that you're wasting your money in form of tithe. |

slimderek:We would stop building churches when all the existing churches can contain all 180 million Nigerians, till then we continue... Whose fault is it that the country is poor? Did the Church choose your president? Did the Church assemble the Economic advisory board? Is national asset used in funding church operations? How is church a burden to our economy? Hasn't the Church built schools on all levels, Hospitals, Research Centres, Orphanages? |
