Tithe is an old testament, Anyone who says to you that if you don't pay your tithe that you will not make heaven is a false preacher and he worship � mammon.
Ephesians 2:8; "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the GIFT of God.
Yes, paying tithe is good, but in the new testament (new covenant) tithing is not the bases for blessing and riches.
Pastors of nowadays is using old testament of tithe to intimidate their members but that's a false teaching.
Pay your tithe if you want to according to your faith but mind you, paying tithe does not mean that you bargain with God that He must bless you.
Gradually people are waking up to the deceit of the Yahoo plus big boys calling themselves "Pastors". Let everyone in the house know that most new churches springing up here and there today is not to propagate the Gospel but to enrich the Pastors so they can live big!
1) Tithe of the feast: This tithe is for your consumption and you do it every first and second year. Deuteronomy 14:22-26 explains it all.
2) Levitcal tithe: This tithe is what you give to the Levite (only to the descendants of Jacob’s son Levi) in the third year after you have eaten your tithe in the first and second year.
Deuteronomy 14:28-29, Deuteronomy 26:12 and Numbers 18:21- 25 explains it all.
The strict condition here is that you must be the bloodline of Levi to collect tithe. No body else on earth is qualified to collect this tithe apart from those who have the blood of Jacob's son Levi running through their veins. Any other person who collect this is either a criminal or ignorant.
3) Tithe to the needy: In the third year after you have previously eaten your tithe in the first and second year, you're to give the tithe of the third year to the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows.
Levitcal tithe and tithe to the poor is for the third year, that's to say, you share it between the Levites, foreigners, fatherless and widows. It is only meant for this four set of people.
What about Malachi 3:8-10?
Well, God was talking to the Levites and not the Israelites who bring the tithe. Among the Levites, there's a high priest who enters the holiest of holy. Read from Malachi 2:1 to see that God was talking to the Priests (Levites).
The priests (Levites) were playing smart on the tithe they collect from the Israelites.
THE STORE HOUSE
The Levites (priests) were to take out 10% of the tithe they collect from the Israelites and keep in the store house, Numbers 18:25 - 29 explains it, but they stopped doing it, they started making smart move on it and God was angry with them.
They were misbehaving with the tithes they collected, the book of Nehemiah 13:4 - 13 explains it.
NEW COVENANT
In the new covenant, you as a believer is the church (house of Yahuah/God) not a building (2 Corinthians 5:1, Acts 17:24, Acts 7:48, Matthew 24:1-2 and John 4:21-24) and a priest while Yahushua (Christ) is the high priest (Read Hebrew 7).
Because you as a believer is the church, there's no physical store house or temple, you are now the spiritual temple God dwell in, if you are the temple they use to bring their tithes to, then it's you that will consume the tithe not a Pastor or Priest.
In the entire new testament, there's no place Christ or the believers preached, received or collected tithe. Think for a minute, if the new testament is the Christian manual, why is tithing not there and what does that tell you?
C'mon, tithing and first fruit have no place in Christianity. It is what it is.
Tithing is excepting yourself from the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.
In the new covenant, the law was fulfilled by Christ and we are no longer under the law. After resurrection of Christ, the law became weak and useless as seen in the Hebrew 7:8-19.
Hebrews 7:18-19 18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
Galatians 3:19-20 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. 20 A mediator,however, implies more than one party; but God is one.
. * Christ is the seed been referred to here.
Colossians 2:17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. . The 613 laws are shadows until Christ came. Christ fulfilled the law, done and dusted, chapter closed forever. That's why it's now weak and useless.
Hebrews 7:12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also. . Hebrew 8 vs 13 "By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear."
Romans 7:6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
* If you're to obey the laws in the old testament to be right with God, you're to obey ALL the 613 laws otherwise you're under a curse. Tithing to fulfil what's written in the book of law attracts a curse. Stop tithing, you're bringing a curse to yourself.
James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
Galatians 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”
Hebrews 10:9-10 9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Christ once for all.
. . He set aside OLD COVENANT found in the old testament to establish the NEW COVENANT found in the new testament.
. 2 Corinthians 3:6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. . * The letter here is the old covenants (laws) while the spirit is the new covenant. Read the whole chapter for better understanding.
Please brothers and sisters, do yourself a favour and read the whole of 2 Corinthians 3. Verse 14 "But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away." is exactly what is happening in Christianity today. The minds of many were made dull.
Never allow any man born of flesh push you to do the things that are now weak and useless. If Christ and the early Christians didn't do it, I tell you today, don't do it no matter the pressure.
The new testament scriptures are Christian manual, anything not found there shouldn't be a doctrine.
I still remain the son of the TRUTH.
100% correct. That fool agbadghadi will not comment on this one
Wolgrace: Some sacred things of God don't even need debate. A short trip to hell would have drop our senses and reset our spirits. Shocking wailing warnings are there too.
Debating is a proof that Holy Spirit is absent in one's life. "Those that are led by the Spirit of God are His sons because the Lord knows those that are His." His own hears His voice and they obey Him i.e they drop their senses to follow His instruction, because a follower does not debabte (debate is a distraction) but to focus on Him and His instruction like an obedient soldier to His chief commander.
Brethren, let us drop our senses, leave debate, and commune with the Holy Spirit because without Him lies the strength of our carnal senses.
Prayer: Holy Spirit our helper and giver of peace in all confusion and to the confusionists, come and have your way...
I guessed u have dropped your sense with your pastor n that's y u are saying thrash where in the Bible did u see what u wrote up there?or it is what your pastor told u
Alexgman1: Can someone who rarely pay tithe because of one of two reasons or doesn't pay tithe at all through out his life make heaven if he/she dies or when rapture takes place?
Let the men of GOD in the house clear the air on this.
Some questions!!!
Which of the men of God you refer to has gone to heaven to be able to physically verify and confirm to you what happens there, who made it there, who paid tithe that is there and who did not pay that is not there?
The Bible the men of God use is also freely available to you. Read it...it tells you how to use your Tithe.
Hypocrites you believe that the blood have sacrifices for everything and that old testament is gone. But now and then you come here to disturb us with tithes. Using Malachi to treating the novice.
There is nothing like tithing in Christianity, it's part of the old covenant that has been nailed to the torture stake. The arrangement that brought about the tithe is no more in use so there's no need to continue paying tithes! Hebrew 7:11-12
You're the only one who have spoken the truth here. Tithe has no place in Christianity for we're not Jews but Christians. There are 613 laws in the Old Testament but some churches took just one that favored them because money is involve and are forcing it down their congregants throat. Quote anywhere in the New Testament that says we should pay tithe. If you'll quote Old Testament to back your claim, then obey other laws too in the Old Testament. If you can't keep others then you're a liar and a thief yourself.
Law of the old testament... Tithing isn't part of Christianity...

TITHE IS A HEAVENLY LAW , NOT PAYING TITHE IS STEALING FROM GOD BUT TITHE ONLY CAN'T TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN , BEING HOLY AND SPREADING LOVE WILL ...... TITHE ASIDE ARE YOU AWARE THAT NOT PAYING TAX AND DOING OTHER CITIZEN RESPONSIBILITIES CAN TAKE ONE TO HELL !
Born again tithers are more likely to go to HELL than Non-tithing born again Christians.
Because the tithers want to be justified by works of the Law (i.e keeping the Laws of the old testament) and in so doing has fallen out of Grace... The Bible states that - "And by the works of the LAW no man shall be justified..."(Rom 3:20)
"It is by grace than you are saved through faith..." (Eph 2:8,9)
So if you think paying your tithe "justifies" God to pursue away the Devourer (on your behalf) at the end of every month... You are blind and probably on a High Speed train to Hell Fire....
It is by Grace....
Jesus defeated the "Devourer" forever on the cross... You are no longer under OBLIGATION to "SACRIFICE MONEY" to the Devourer every end of the month. When you tithe to calm the "Devourer" down on a monthly basis you are practicing an ANTICHRIST theology.
Mandatory "Tithing" is an ANTICHRIST theology because it denies the finished work of Christ.
"Go and study the Bible with an open mind......"
When you learn to live by LOVE you'll learn to GIVE freely to "anyone in need" without "OBLIGATION"

The only thing that makes you go to heaven is being born again. That's all
I haven't seeing that in the scriptures. Our salvation is by faith. If a Christan doesn't give tithe he will not have reward but will still be save. What will you say about those who got born again on their death bed Don't allow Satan bewitched you. Tithing is an injunction from God but has nothing to do with our salvation.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...i have died here.

God bless you. We're supposed to follow Christ not Jewish rite of tithing
Many confused souls . You can pay tithe to a rich pastor but can't give out N100 to a poor beggar because you were promised heaven. Religion na scam. I am glad people are walking away from it.
This is what I feel tithing is. tithing does not say you, so it can't stop from making heaven, but it can also stop. This is what I am saying, if you don't pay your tithe as a Christian, it make live in poverty because the Lord Jesus windows of will be closed for you and the devourer will be devouring the little you have. And poverty can make you miss heaven. hunger can make lie or steal. So my advice, give your life to Christ. accept him as your Lord and savior. Then pay your tithe. it will help bring the blessings of God to your life and sustain the blessing
hopefulLandlord: Adeboye is a man of God, he drove a car from Ore to Lagos on empty tank and he said if you don't pay your tithes you won't make heaven. what more reason do you need to keep donating your 10% to churches?
This is a big lie,I think Adeboye learnt this from one muslim cleric who made similar claim of using urine instead of fuel to travel fro Ilorin to Lagos.Pastors and Alfas are the greatest scammers in Nigeria followed by politicians,the rest of the society are theur carbon copies. In Sweden,no citizen pay 10% to the church ,they pay 1% tax to the church from their salary and it is optional.The pastors and their wives do normal jobs like Nursing,Teachers etc and some are on salary from the church.
People should ask the baba if his engine didnt shut down during his trip,there is pastor who is always surviving plane crash everytime in Nigeria.Can you remind me the name of the pastor?
Don't allow Satan bewitched you. Tithing is an injunction from God but has nothing to do with our salvation.
