I started doubting tithe when it was made compulsory and a supposedly curse on those who don't do it That's not the gospel I was taught 70% offerings to headquarters and 30% remains for local parish, these guys are operating a fvrking franchise No wonder they insist on spreading like mushrooms everywhere 123 Likes 12 Shares |

The direct beneficiaries are the Pastors and their families. This tithing ish has taken over the Church thereby relegating the rest of the gospel to the back. Christians seek the truth and the truth shall set you free. 6 Likes |

K, if it works for you, then pay, but nobody should make u give out ten percent of your hard earned money with threat of not making heaven, it isn't biblical anyway. D Bible says that except a man is born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, God is only interested in your salvation and not your tithe. 18 Likes |

You have a pastor who builds a school with the funds generated from tithing and offerings from poor congregation members and they can't [afford to] attend those schools. You cannot compare the European Missionaries in the early 90's to our current Religious Leaders.

The reasons criminals like Adeboye and Oyedepo continues to thrive is that the ignorance of the populace benefits the politicians and fraudulent pastors. Every Sunday all churches are filled with empty headed worshipers repeating the same prayer points every day without realizing that their destiny is in their hands. Africans will rather go to church and mosques to pray for manners to fall from heaven. The most selfish continent in the world adding no productive output and value to humanity. We have been praying for decades yet our level of development cannot match countries with less religiosity and natural resources. We import everything and yet get angry when the west tells us to marry same gender. China is the largest economy right now and the factory of the world. The reason why their government is clamping down on religion and encouraging research in science and technology. No western nations dare dictate or enforce their beliefs on china because they liberated themselves economically. Instead of the brain dead leaders in Abuja to sponsor and encourage research in science and technology, they will rather spend billions of naira on pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia and Israel while the gullible masses continue to lavish in poverty and under-development. Africa is a cursed continent filled with greedy and mentally lazy idiots parading as political and religious leaders 89 Likes 12 Shares |

SamuelAnyawu: If fees were not high in church schools like covenant u, Redeemer's, Babcock, etc it would be very difficult to pay salaries, build new facilities, expand, etc. Also, all those old mission schools were subsidised by Tithes of foreign church members and voluntary donations.and they were not free. And yes, I am no fan of prosperity gospel. Funding education however is a whole new discussion If you set up a school, someone has to pay for it.and since most church schools are not sponsored by government, it has to be fees. Modified...The fact that i support high fees in public and private schools does not mean that I think that Pastor and Father in the Lord is good to drive big car and big plane.High fees is basically how staff get money to be paid their salaries, and so on. It is the sad fact that education is expensive. 8 Likes 1 Share |

the thieves. the pastors and Imam. celebrity pastors and imam, the sheeples are fools and you do not blame them because they are desperate for a visible answer that is not there. instead of worshipping God in spirit and truth they are looking for signs. these pastors and imam capitalize on their weaknesses to prey on them. they lie to muslims that they would be given 7 virgins if they commit murder. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I don't understand the hairsplitting about people paying tithes. People should learn to mind their business, their is no compulsion in Religion. Those who believe in paying tithes should be allowed to do so and those who don't believe in paying tithes are also free not to |

Study the below for more understanding on tithe Deut 14: 22- 27, This is how God Almighty wants us to spend the tithe, if the new millennium ( modern day) pastors would be bent on us to pay tithe or go to hell. After you, might have read the above bible passages, then read the popular Malachi 3:10 If you are to bring tithe to house of the Lord, you are the one to determine how to spend the tithe according to words of God Almighty by using it to buy things to eat in the house of the Lord and in his presence. God Almighty then advised his people to remember sons of Levite when they are eating their tithe. God didn't demand for money! Even if you bring your tithe from a far place, you can change it to money but by the time to get to presence of God Almighty, your must use the money (tithe) to buy food and wine and you and your family members should eat it in the presence of Lord but remember to share out of your tithe to priests (who are sons of Levite), orphans and those who don't have. This is God's command. My brother, then read Hebrew 7: 1- 28 for better understanding for the eradication of tithe by Apostle of Christ. Read Hebrew 7: 12 very well Jesus Christ death ended the requirement of the law. Rom 10:4 Don't allow yourself to be deluded. Heb 7:8-12 8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law The law has been set aside (Heb 7:18), included in the law is its requirement that you pay tithe. It was a sin not to do so, but the law has been changed after Christ paid with his blood and set the law aside. No true christian is under the law. When Christ was alive and the law was then effective. Christ's death ended it. Slight modifications : In accordance with the advice from the scripture that I should not forsake the fellowship of the believers, I am fellowshipping with the believers in a local parish of RCCG, in Ibadan.
