Malachi 3:10 answers it all. It says all the full tight should be taken to the house of the Lord. You can give your sister money, gifts etc but ur full tithe is not negotiable 30 Likes 13 Shares |

Tithe is given to God through the high priest However God added two additional tithes for the Jews under the law then: Which was tithes for the poor and the third one was a recreational feast . Take a 10% and enjoy feast and picnic All were to be done . The later 2 does not take away the first which is the tithe to God . So give what is for God to God The tithe to God is the one We learnt from abraham TITHE TO THE LORD Leviticus 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord. THE TITHE FOR FEAST (Deut. 14:22-27). Deuteronomy 14:22-23 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. TITHE FOR THE POOR Deuteronomy 14:28-29 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.. 9 Likes 6 Shares |

THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHE. Introduction: If your pastors say giving the needy, widows, orphans 10% of your income is not tithe, that you must pay it to him, then you are attending a business centre, not a church. Malachi is the favourite book most pastors use to preach tithe. And it is very obvious, they use it because it contains a curse for those who don't pay it. Therefore, it is the 'best' verse used to brainwash Christians. If you want to preach tithing, preach all verses related to it. Most of these men of God know the other verses but the only one they preach to their audience is Malachi. The sheep they are leading are even lazy to read their own bibles to see the truth for themselves. Note that quarter of truth is no truth, truth must be whole. Don’t add, don't remove. Tithing is an Old Testament concept, just like circumcision and animal sacrifice. Things Christians were meant to abide to have validations from New testament after death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nowhere tithe was clearly instructed in the New Testament after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The New Testament focuses on giving without compulsion. 2 Corinthians 9:7 captured it very well “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver". If you believe in tithing, then you should see other verses of the bible to know how it was applied thousands of years ago. Tithes were not for gentiles, it was for the Jews. Tithes were for the Levites, descendants of Levi. How many of your Pastors that preach Malachi to you are descendants of Levi? There is a particular portion of the bible most pastors will never preach to you, and that can be found in Deut 14.22-29. Tithe was instructed to be given to the strangers, orphans, widows etc. How many pastors can boldly tell their members to give their tithes to widows and those in need? Conclusion, if you want to pay tithe, that's your choice. But don't use outdated and obsolete verses like the one found in Malachi to threaten people. Are some verses outdated? Animal sacrifices were allowed in the Old Testament. After Jesus Christ paid for our sins, it made animal sacrifices to be outdated, and that includes tithes too.

1. The first tithe (Gen. 14:19–20) before Moses laws on tithing And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. Abram had just returned from war, rescuing Lot, and reclaiming his possessions, and he’s met by an enigmatic priest of God Most High named Melchizedek. The priest attributes Abram’s victory to God—possessor of heaven and earth—and he blesses Abram. In gratitude to God’s authority and blessing, Abram gives Melchizedek a tenth of his possessions. 2. Jacob offers a tithe (Gen. 28:20–22) Before Mossaic Law Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God, and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.” Jacob responds to a dream he has received from God by building an altar and vowing that, in exchange for God’s care and provision, he would give God a tenth of his belongings. 3. The tithe is introduced as law (Lev. 27:30–34) Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord. If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the Lord. One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.” pre mossiac law .. Tithe goes to the Terbenacle, post mosses isreal tithe still goes to the synagogue , all over middle east, tithe , zakar , offerings or sacrifice goes to the Synagogue , Mosque and Altar, where the Shiek , Priest , Imam , Rabbi prays onto it before distributing it to the less privileged members of the community . 10 Likes 2 Shares |

The problem with most Christians is... they make Christianity more difficult and complex than it actually is. All this tithe BS and other crap they misrepresent to scare people are not actually true. Worshipping and believing in Almighty God isn't this difficult. As long as you've got a pure heart, serving God is very straightforward. Majority of them are naturally bad people hence, the need to make it all fvcked up. 22 Likes 4 Shares |

The issue of tithing has not only been over-rehashed, but also over-flogged.. However, the truth is simple: Do whatever works for you.. For the tithe payers, do not ever castigate those that do not pay tithes to pastors, they also have biblical backing for these... 29 Likes 7 Shares |

Oluromantic:Deutronomy overrides Malachi when it comes to tithing. Who is Malachi among prophets such as Elijah, Elisha, Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah etc.? The only reason you guys make him popular is because of a single verse. verse that you can twist and manipulate fellow christians. The instruction for tithing was laid down in Deutronomy 14:22-29. Let me give highlight in case you can't read it. 1. It doesnt involve money 2. You eat your produce with your family and other poor people. 3. You only give to the levites once in three years. not every month 41 Likes 3 Shares |
