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

What a pathetic and unscriptural write-up... So only one-tenth belongs to God? Didn't the Bible describe the whole earth, and its fullness thereof as God's?.. Why then restrict God to just a tenth, why not give every thing?... No wonder there is such a high proliferation of churches. So, God that blesses His creation with so much, needs a tenth of their income? Go and study your Bible well, and stop embarrassing the body of Christ on such public forums... The question remains, why was tithe commanded in Malachi 3? Same way a good Bible student would and should ask why other old testament practices were commanded?... This lifting of verses of scriptures to defend the indefensible without regard for the entire context of the chapter has got to stop!!!

chilisauce:
My Bible encourages me not to argue (esp religious arguments) cos they only lead to quarrels and end up upsetting people. {2 Timothy 2:23-24} so I would just drop my point and leave.

I'm not a regular church goer, and sometimes I don't visit the same church for a long while, so I am not in the habit of paying tithe to a church. I personally see my parents as my spiritual head, as they have done a fab work in my religious upbringing, a work no pastor can do. They're also the ones going on their knees praying for me daily, so I give them my tithe in addition to whatever monthly upkeep I would normally send them.

Sometimes, I have reason to give to the less privileged, and ppl who I identify to be in genuine need (I'm not trying to blow trumpet abeg). I do these with the understanding of what the Bible says :"whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord"

Ubare applying ur sense in religious issue, which is the way to go.

I am really shocked at your question but I guess you are not really serious.

GOD IS ONE, GOD HAS A SYSTEM AND PLACE WHERE HIS WORSHIPERS ASSEMBLE, IT IS CALLED THE CHURCH..... It would be confusion for the same God to have different means of Approach because it would mean He is not consistent with His nature. Also, TITHE is really not an ISSUE as daddy freeze and others have been barking about... TITHE BEGAN BEFORE THE LAW even in the book of Genesis.... so it is NOT a question OF WHETHER TO PAY OR NOT.... it is simply a system of how God's GOVERNMENT WORKS.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD is a REAL KINGDOM and every KINGDOM has taxes and levis BUT It seems that we have outgrown the KINGDOM system and forgotten it exists simply because we are under a PRESIDENTIAL RULE. NONETHELESS, God is not mocked, and PAYING TITHE or NOT PAYING will not guarantee you a place in heaven,

I have been thinking about paying of tithe and I have been caught in between two thoughts, now is paying of the 1/10th of ur earnings to the church that is referred to as tithe only or paying that 1/10th to some other purpose which u feel more satisfied with..

For example, would it also be tithe if I give my tithe to someone sourcing for funds to treat a terminal illness?

Because sometimes, I don't really think the church needs my tithe but they stress so much about paying. Now the million dollar question is, is it paying of tithe i.e one tenth of ur earnings generally to whatever purpose you see fit or paying it to the church

Tithe is food and not money.

iwatchandlisten:
The answer to your query is NO. Christ owns the CHURCH so your tithe belong to God. What the leaders of your congregation does with it, by God's inspiration, is between them and God.

Those who genuinely submit their tithes because they love God, joyfully also do charities without complaining. They are not mutually exclusive.

NB - 10% Tithe is the LAW, but those operating on GRACE, normally submit more than 10% of their income. This is a demonstration that you're operating above the law. May God give you wisdom and courage to follow His WORD.

Read deutermomny 26 vs 12 and Deuteronomy 14 vs 28 to educate ur self on the matter of tithing n cure ur chronic ignorance.

paxonel:
The poor deserves the money more than the church, give it to the poor

if you know its important to help someone with your tithe, then tell your pastor or priest b4 using it for that purpose.

Tithing is a kingdom principle and covenant for Christians. Good requires us to pay our tithes and in return, He will honor His own part of the covenant. On the other hand, giving to the needy is Charity. Your Christian Life and blessing is tied to both. Let no one deceive you

Years ago, I asked the same questions about paying tithes vs giving to the needy. Infact, I was so frustrated by my experience with the cousin I was living with back then. He works with Shell BP and pays heavy tithe and yet never parted with anything to me a needy student. And with that, I swore never to pay tithes and to convert the tithes to helping the needy around me, which I did for years after graduation and securing a very good job in one of the best and well-paying organisations in the country.

However, I noticed that yes I became a very notorious giver but not growing. I rather suffered losses - investment, career, health, finances, etc and I turned to God. He reminded me of His covenant and my dear, I had a 360° turn-around when I started paying my tithes. Of course, I still give to the needy but it doesn't stop me from paying my tithe.

I will tell you all the truth about this issue.
98% of Christians who pay tithe do it out of greed of expecting financial reward from God. that's why they ignore the poor because they feel the poor have no reward to give them. If only they know how their greed and ignorance have consume them.

My question is this... Will paying of tithes make us to go to heaven?... NO.

Tithe was instituted by Christ because the levites dnt do any other work. But at a time like this where our pastors /priests have jobs n earn salaries, they don't need our TITHES.

I believe with giving d needy ur tithe, GOD will still accept it. Thanks

Bible never told us to pay it to the church instead she told us the store house. That store house was thy gate according to Dec 14:28-29 where those that needs it will find it. And we are to start paying in our third year of investment.

I stand to be corrected anyways where it was written pay it to a church from Genesis-Revelation

may320:

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.

Note.... Zakat is the equivo of tithe in...... aims giving is otherwise known as sadaqah "

Tithe is mearnt for church, however once a while if you are specifically lead by the Holy Spirit to give to a needy man or woman you can go ahead.
However never lead yourself otherwise you will bless yourself.
The purpose of tithe is to have food in the store house of God , if Holy Spirit so desire He may lead you to give the tithe to a person in need.
I heard of a situation where Bishop David Oyedepo instructed that all the tithe and offering made in a particular service ( at the begining of his ministry) be given to a woman in need.
God bless you.

Did Jesus or the apostles pay tithe?

No.
Tithes are paid to Temples, Chapels, Churches, Cathedrals, Synagogues and to Household Heads like Fathers and Grandfathers.
Buhari is wrong for colluding with The Paris Club to spend Abacha's Loot for the Poor. It is casting your Pearls before swines. That $360million should have been shared $10million to each of our 36 States for uniform development supervised by NASS.

DaddyNimo:
paying of tithe is equivalent to stoning people to death for adultery or killing sheep's to atone for sins....if you still believe in tithe paying of the Old Testament den you have no believe in Christ of the New Testament.

what part of the old testament portrays this conclusion of urs?

I love this guy..........................Well served bro.

Alaye, shut up.

Tithes was for Levites, is your Gentile pastor a Levite?
Tithes were paid in a Theocracy, is your country a Theocracy?
Tithes were a tax on income, don't you pay your income tax?
Tithes had a formula for sharing it, it wasn't all to be gobbled up by the priests, is your tithe-collector following the formula?

Your own opinion and you're entitled to it, but ur assertion isn't true, genuine Christians pay tithe in obedience to God's command..

I don't think. the are two different things but definitely serve the same purpose. God loves them

NO. CAPITAL N O. TITHE IS TITHE AND CHARITY IS CHARITY. TITHE IS NOT CHARITY AND CHARITY IS NOT TITHE. SO U ARE INDEBTED TO PAY UR DEFAULTED TITHE.PLS. LEARN PROPERLY AND AVOID D CONFUSION OF D PRESENT AGE. ENDTIME THINGS UNFOLDING....

You're not a good Christian, what have you now gained bringing strife among people? Obeying the scriptures is by choice, even God himself never forced anyone to do so, he's only admonished us to choose life, so the rest lies with us..
You're not new in the country and this is not the first time this topic of where tithe to be paid to has been raised, opinions of different personalities have been heard, so what's the need asking people to dictate to you where to pay your tithe.. You don't need to bring up issues of divide just to get noticed on social media, or to garner likes and share, don't bring the judgement of God upon urself.. How does this actually edifies the body of christ? Didn't you hear anything else in ur synagogue today and share it with us other than bringing division amongst people? You have not been paying tithe before now, so what's the motive behind ur post.

The very best thing to do is to give to the needy directly instead of contributing to all these criminal enterprises established at every corner..!!

Peace..!!

Mind u sir,
Tithe and aim giving aren't de same,
Malachi 3 vs 8 down summarize ur question.



Funny Dats ur topic today tithe and offerings, and I hv realized my mistakes of chopping my tithes.

i will never ever pay tithe , I will never ever so any seed to any pastor, I will rather invest, I will rather help people who are in need, tithes are meant for just a particular family in the old testament , i will rather donate to the orphanage , even government doesn't collect 10% pastors are the biggest boys in town, convenat university students should not be paying more than 120k

Tithe is 10% of your earning and you've ggot 90% left after paying your tithe. Why don't you take from the remaining 90% and help the person. Tithing is a covenant and commandment bby God.

The church is not a place. Christians are the Church. Where ever you have more than two Christians discussing God, that place becomes a Church

people like you likes and share your post.. You mean this fellow should ignore the needy and take it to one Pastor to buy luxury cars and mansions? Please charge your brain.

IF ANY ONE CAN SHOW ME ONE PLACE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WHERE TITHE WAS MENTIONED... PLEASE LAST I CHECKED IT WAS LAST QUOTED IN MALACHI (OLD TESTAMENT)

THE CHURCH ESPECIALLY THE PENTECOSTAL HAVE A WAY OF SAYING EVERYTHING IN THE OLD TESTAMENT WERE ABOLISHED BY THE SACRIFICE CHRIST MADE ON THE CROSS.

BUT THE ONE THAT INVOLVED MONEY... THEY DIDN'T ABOLISH.

BE WISE, 70% OF CHINA, AMERICANS AND OTHER COUNTRIES WITH GREAT ECONOMY, ARE NOT EVEN CHRISTIANS, DON'T GO TO CHURCH TALK-LESS PAY TITHES.

IF TITHES WERE ABOLISHED DO YOU THINK WE WOULD HAVE SO MANY CHURCHES. FOOD FOR THOUGHT
