alBHAGDADI:It clearly shows how you have being deceived. Why not read from Matthew 23:1. Don't just cherry pick. The Pharisees were the law keepers and the covenant with God through Jesus Christ hasn't being established. Just show me a place where Christians paid tithe in the Bible. I'm just tired of having this same conversation with you. Your motive is just too put your sheeples in check so you can milk then dry. Just know you are under a curse if you rely on the law to be made right with God, I didn't say it Paul did. Galatians 3:9-14 9So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith. 10But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.”d 11So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”e 12This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”f 13But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”g 14Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promisedh Holy Spirit through fa 4 Likes |

Can u guys just rest with this una tithe matter? We are Christians and not Jews. What's our business with the EXPIRED LAW OF MOSES? Christ is our High priest so tithe and first fruit is not a CHRISTIAN PRACTICE. I wonder how u didn't remind us about buying alcohol and whatever pleases us with the tithe money and drink it in Church? Salvation is the message. TITHE ISN'T. TITHE AND FIRST FRUIT IS SIN. 1 Like |

alBHAGDADI:[b]Your con and deception is offensive! Nowhere in the Bible was man directed to pay tithe to the Church or synagogue. Bible said in a place God named. Bible said you can merry with your family and the needy with your tithe and not the 90%. Issue of tithe was only necessary for the Levite's, because they were fulltime temple priests and had no inheritance. The only ones close to that are only catholic Priests because they have no inheritance. God never emphasized that tithe should be given to him, God said tithe should be brought to a place he named. The only places God named for tithe were the Levite's, House of God, The Needy, Your Family, and not the Synagogue or Church. Levite's serve in the temple of Alter not synagogue and tithings was for the temple Alter not Churches. Levites are not conventional and evangelical priests, they are not pastors, evangelists, prophets, fathers, priests general overseers etc. Tithe was never about money. Bible said crops and herds; agricultural harvests. The only time money was mentioned in tithing was when the tithe was too bulky and distant location, and Bible said convert to money and with it make marry with your family and needy . Tithe is not money. Christ said man was not made for the law, but the law for man. Tithing seem obsolete, I am surprised that Nigerian Churches always preach tithing every week more than salvation. God does not eat anything including tithe. Stop deceiving people. Greedy people, buying helicopters and jets, building schools for only the bourgeoisie. It was only once that Jesus Christ used horse, He did not even use Chariot Greedy thieves![/b] 2 Likes |

Anyone who tells you Abraham gave a tithe of all that he possessed is a liar. The book of Hebrews made it clear that Abraham gave a tithe of warspoils only. Let us clarify this. ABRAHAM DID NOT GIVE A TITHE OF EVERYTHING HE POSSESSED, HE GAVE A TITHE OF WARSPOILS ONLY Hebrews 7 v 1 - 4; 1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. 4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. 1 Like |

Amanda4life:The issue even affects you than you think, Christ is the chief priest and he came to abolish tithing and mosaic sacrifices so that you can go to God directly through him. So if you keep tithing it means you currently have a new high priest other than him, a role your pastor or who you are giving tithe has assigned to himself. Their can't be two captains in a boat so your pastor is interceding on your behalf to another entity. Giving your pastor tithe may look innocent to you but it is a fundamental contradiction to the new testament and the core element Christ came to abolish (ie him been the only way to God not an intermediary or third party as done by the priest of old). By the way your pastor is paying his tithe to who exactly (himself). lol Thank God you admitted you don't see tithing blessings immediately, God's financial breakthrough doesn't come from tithing (Arabs have the richest persons and land yet don't tithe to pastors). Oh i forgot same Arabs give "zakat" to the needy 1 Like |

Where did God request for money as tithe in the Bible? I'm still waiting for an answer to this; When God required money for the needs of the Temple, He specifically mentioned where all Israelite males should be levied a temple tax of half a shekel every year. That was an instance of God clearly asking for money. Refer to Exodus 30 v 13-16 for where God gave the instruction through Moses;BASED ON THE ABOVE, IT WAS CLEAR WHEN & HOW GOD ASKED FOR MONEY TO MAINTAIN THE TEMPLE... NOW LET US EXAMINE GOD'S REQUIREMENT FOR TITHES BELOW; Refer to Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29; Based on the above verses, God clearly mentioned what is titheable, and money was not part of the items to be tithed. IN CONCLUSION: Any fraudster that comes with the excuse that money was not in use because the Israelites were predominantly farmers and cattle rearers...should read Exodus 30 v 13-16 and explain to us why God demanded money from these same Israelites...but specified crops and livestock as tithes in Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29; Also, I'll be waiting for scriptural references where God made tithing mandatory for gentiles as well. 3 Likes 1 Share |

For me I can never give my money to these pastors in the name of tithe. I just pity my parents that have been brainwashed by these men of God. The way they preach this tithe, like its compulsory. Of all jesus, paul, peter, james, john etc teachings in the Bible they didn't tell us to pay tithe, even they never paid tithe. If jesus or paul didn't pay tithe, who am I to pay tithe? 3 Likes |

Thisis2raw: And just so you know, the tithe law was instituted primarily for the needy (which included the Levites). It is a charity system, and it was meant to benefit the needy. So, even if you must tithe, you should give it to the needy. God emphasized the need to cater for the poor. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' "He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' (Matt 25: 42-45) God does not need your money. All He needs is for you to help the needy among you. Helping the needy is the same as helping God. Feeding the needy is the same as feeding God. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. (James 1:27) 1 Like |

alBHAGDADI: That's a gullible approach. That's what's killing the Church. It's like a pastor sleeping with church members, and instead of rebuking him, you're saying leave him for God to judge. That's a lazy thought. Why laying more emphasis on tithe payment; and look the other way when it comes to accountability! Then leave non-tithe payers to God. And stop disturbing people about the arguments on tithe. 4 Likes |

The more you love God and your neighbor, the more you will give to help with the things of God and the welfare of others, be it your money, your time, your talents, even down to the excess possessions you hold. You are not giving because of what you’re expecting in return, which is a selfish and childish way of thinking. You are giving because the Holy Spirit has replaced (or replacing) your selfish nature with the fruit of love, which is a selfless nature. You will eventually see the joy in giving, not because of what you’re expecting from God, but for the joy that comes with putting a smile on God’s face for promoting His kingdom, and solving the challenges of others. And in that, we can truly say "THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN" Happy Sunday everyone. 3 Likes |
