I would rather give out my money to charity than to pay one useless tithe to a pastor that would probably mismanage the money.

Whenever the issue of tithing surfaces, several people get to agree or disagree; there's usually some heated arguments. I don't want to go make make this post tedious, let me go straight.

The Bible says in Malachi that a tithe defaulter actually robs God. How can one rob the source of wealth itself?
This is like a case of a Dad, gifting his son 20k and still call him a thief if he doesn't return 2k later. Why not remove the 2k yourself, since you're the one the money is going back to, and give me 18k, so I won't be guilty of robbery?

If God has decided to give you 100 years would you like him deduct 10 years for anticipated sin?

Wrong ! What do you say about God giving Abraham a son and later ask him to worship him by sacrificing his son. The issue is not about the money, the son or the offering . Its about the fact that God has given you a free will and he want you to exercise it to worship him and also God want to see your detachment from any other thing in honor of him.

You could also have asked why would God want us to prY to him . Why dont he just bless .Why dont he just make us not sin .

He gave us power of will ,he tells us what to do and watch us express that will. Either by using style to horde things from him or we express our honor for him

MrTAnonymous:




Your opinions are on point bro.

englishmart:
Will, will, will. Why should someone who gave you free will still punish you for exercising your will?

MrTAnonymous:

And how does your post correlate with the topic?

What is sad is you probably believe your opinion weighs heavier than the very word out of God's own mouth.

paxonel:
which God mouth?

Kobojunkie:
You tell me... what God was the OP pretending to speak on behalf of?

paxonel:
he wasn't pretending anything.
He was speaking on behalf of Jesus Christ the founder of the new covenant where all Christians belong, not the old covenant where there was Malachi.

You have to understand that God is the God of time and time changes.
There was time for the old covenant where tithing was the case, God stood by tithing then.
Now is the time for salvation, circumcision, tithing or whatever Jewish law availeth no longer, you have to understand that

CodeTemplar:
In your analogy, the 2k serves a sign of acknowledgement of his sources, and that sources simply demands it as a sign of submission and part of a design for the church of Christ.

If God removes work from faith then everyone can go on a spree empty faith delusion. Works is complementary to faith. Faith without works is dead.

englishmart:
Demand of the church of christ or of the fake pastors around. We only see the relevance of the old testament when it comes to tithing, otherwise it's redundant.

For the descendants of Israel, to whom tithing law is in fact binding, the message from Malachi to the Levites and Priests is still true today and will continue to remain so forever.

englishmart:
Are there levites In Nigeria?

Kobojunkie:
You tell me.... you are the one who started this thread suggesting what God said in Malachi somehow has something to do with what is going on today in Nigeria.

Are the Nigerians in question direct descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, draggin God into this Tithing debate among Nigerians?

englishmart:
Exactly why we should alienate ourselves from tithing, it's not our obligation.
