adebayo3449:This really caught my attention. Though I'm not a Muslim but I've had cause to discuss this issue of tithe in Islamic way with a colleague. According to him, muslims pay tithe aside zakat, but there is a condition to it. He said that there is a level a muslim faithful will attain financially that it became mandatory for him/her to be paying tithes. Of course, its individualistic in nature. An individual may purposely neglect the payment i.e. in disobedience but, a believer will adhere to the commandment. 2 Likes |

mcemmy0z:How the tithe should be used is clearly written in the bible. The reward or punishment for not complying to it by the Pastor is between the Pastor and God. One of some Xtian's problems is that they rely on what they hear and not go extra mile to read/study their bible. There's the need for us to mind our language when talking about the Most Holy God. |

Sometimes we pretend to be ignorant of the words of God regarding this subject. Because we want to do what suits our purpose and not God's clear and definite instructions. It says: "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in MY HOUSE." Does it say we should bring it to someone? I mean this is explicit enough for anyone to understand. We take God for granted a lot in this regard. If you pay to someone and not the church, it's no more tithe, please. |

izzy4shizzy:- @Op, tithe is tithe, donation is donation. - If paid to someone else it becomes a donation/charity giving and no longer tithe. - Tithe is a commandment with specific percentage to pay. - Payment of tithe moves God to do many things, seen and unseen for us. - There are promises made by Him to those who are faithful with it. - There is a kind of "peace of mind" that goes with payment of it. - Pray to God to reveal or give you more understanding about tithe payment. - The Pastors who failed to utilise it the way it was commanded to be used will face the judgement. - The judgement is not for me and you to decide but is between the Pastor and God. - May God help us all. 1 Like |

tripplephi: Have you read your Bible?.....have you read what you wrote?.....have you studied the Bible?....did you drop any scriptural reference? Someone directed the OP to Deuteronomy 14:22-29....that's a scriptural reference ... since you have none...you should've read it instead of coming up in here and dropping such a huge load of mindless chatter and confirming the existence of sheeple that need to be freed. |

We christian need to use our senses and think right, churches are becoming richer while the some people around us are becoming poorer let take example of when christ heal someone on sabbath day they all go against it that it was wrong to heal on sabbath day but he did what was right by helping humanity. The all summary about Christianity is to help those in need |

TonyAntony: ...and where is God's house? Is God restricted to buildings made of bricks? Apart from tithes, how many other Levitical instructions do you and your churches abide by? Do you observe the feasts of unleaven bread, passover, in-gathering, etc? How and why is it that tithe is so fanatically emphasized compared to other ordinances? What is the spiritual and Biblical correlation between putting a tenth of one's income and true spiritual growth in this precious walk with our creator? |

tripplephi:And I am disturbed and dumbfounded by the way you wrote without thinking. Are pastors God's bank? Tithe are supposed to be given to the poor and needy and I see no reason why pastors should cling to it and make it their right to enrich themselves. It's now a right for them. Did God tell you that HE needs money? The sole purpose of this Tithe is to help the poor and needy but they dont follow the ethics and this is not normal in the Eyes of God. Everyone will account for his deeds. My brother, pray for your money make you tell God Wetin you want for life and give it to the needy. The prayer you said for yourself is the best. It goes to God directly. |

paxonel:who told you? pls dont confuse him the tithe is Gods own now this is why we sre usually caught up in the middle cause we do the right thing witha a wrong means.....God said we should give i/410 of our earnings that is to say into the church so if you want to help others do it out of your own money and not the one of God so if you have been doing that ever since my bro you have not been paying your tithe so SIT UP and do the right thing |

[quote author=paxonel post=72666883]are pastors king of the kingdom of God? If not, why should they collect tax called tithe? [/qu God's kingdom is spiritual, and only the spiritual controls the physical You see the issue of tithing is a spiritual principles that the canal or natural logic of man called sense knowledge cannot understand or fathom. Tithing was instituted by God not any pastor. Read Haggai 1:8-10 God s law about tithe is like the law of day and night ,you like daylight and hate the night but that's your opinion, whether you like it or not you re controlled by it. If you decides not to sleep at night that' doesn't stop the night from taking its course but just as you cannot cheat nature the effect of your not sleeping at night will definitely take its toll on your body someway or the other. You must pay the consequences. So your obedience is for your good. Because God created the world and laid down its governing principles .If you obey you reap a blessing it not you pay a price. |

tripplephi: My friend, stop that! This lengthy stuff you wrote makes no sense at all. Where was it written expressly that tithe should be paid to a church? What does God need your money for? God's money, God's money....who takes these monies to God? We have millions of children languishing in abject poverty and with no education, yet you come here to say what you know absolutely nothing abut. |

TonyAntony: From the bold is what is bringing a lot of eye opening/questions, where is the food in the house of God, from the tithe you build schools, and other business ventures that does not benefit the church members that brought their money. The Church is the members not the building, if the members are not partaking in proceeds, then it's wrong. A lot people prefer giving to the poor/needy than giving to the Church because the Church has failed to do so. 1 Like |
