You don't want to start preaching this message chief. Its hard to digest. Besides, the bible encourages giving and giving sacrificially which is more than tithing sef

For those of you who think the old testment is no more relevant this is for you: Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.(matt 5:17).

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices(Tithe)—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. "You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former (Tithe)".

So to all of you who thinks paying tithe to church is a scam, think otherwise.(Note: I'm not a pastor and I just go to church once in awhile, but I can't hide from the truth)

To the question of this Topic: you can pay your tithe where your heart tells you to (another church). But don't forget to support the church you worship.

I think it is wrong. What was the purpose of tithes? Was it not to support the evangelist and provide for the poor in the local.area and wherever the evangelist traveled? Giving your tithes to another church means that you are not supporting the upkeep of your evangelist/pastor ... not supporting him to spread the gospel... and not Supporting the needy in your own church. Is that right or wrong?

Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 3:11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 3:12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

i guessed you are one of this new generation pastors(criminals) that cannot interpret bible well, dont forget we are christians, we believe in christ, bible never mention tithe as money, the new testament recoeded that we should bring to the house of God as it pleases our mind, so if anybody is demanding a certain amount of money in the name of tithe, hahahahaahha, call him a criminal, nothing like tithe in the new testament, it is only giving according to ur heart wish,

Sorry to ask, are you a pastor or related to any pastor?

, no need to ask because by the words of thier mouth, we shall know dem, criminals

I share your belief, in fact, the moment Jesus was crucified, the temples veil was torn, only the priest could access the temple until then

Matthew 27:51
Who Tore the Veil?

The Tabernacle in the Wilderness and the Temple in Jerusalem were divided into two special rooms. The Holy Place and the Most Holy Place or Holy of Holies was divided by a thick woven veil.

The Holy of Holies was the most sacred place on the earth. It was the place that symbolized the presence of God with His chosen people. Only one person could enter that room, and only on one very special day of the year. On the Day of Atonement the high priest would make atonement for himself and then entered into the Holy of Holies and made atonement for the people.

The moment Jesus cried out from the cross, “It is finished!” and died that thick curtain was torn from the top
to the bottom (Matthew 27:51).

Personaly i paid my tithe directly to the needy and sometime to d church

1 Corinthians 16:2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.

CMGO: You pay your tithe in the church you receive God's blessings, as for christians that give their tithe to the poor and needy, you are only deceiving yourselves, it baffles me when humans act wiser than God.

God says bring your tithes to his house, the same way He says His house shall be called the house of prayer, so if you give your tithe to the poor you have only given alms which has its own reward but God still sees you as a robber.

Nothing stops you from paying ur tithes to church and still giving alms to the poor, both are God's instructions as written in the scripture & both are responsibilities of christians.

.So you of all people now know how God reasons and act?,kai! God don suffer.

It really amazes me how dis issue keeps coming up everytime on dis forum. Everything a christian needs 2 know about tithing is clearly spelt out in three scriptures: Deut 14:28-29, Neh 10:38 and Mal 3:10 among several others.Now al christians ar required to pay tithe(Mat23:23, Lk 11:42) but ar categorised into two: 1.) Levites who ar required to bring tithes to the house of our God(Neh 10:38) and 2.) Other Christians who are required to pay theirs to the Levites, the stranger, the fatherless and the widow(Deut 14:28-29) I strongly believe Mal 3:10 applies to only levites as clearly pointed out by Prophet Nehemiah in Neh 10:38. Those who claim dat all tithes should go to churches only so dat devourers may be rebuked , have u ever wondered why atheists and muslims who ar great philanthropists enjoy d blessedness of devourers being rebuked, yet they don't pay tithes to churches.

To the question of this Topic: you can pay your tithe where your heart tells you to (another church). But don't forget to support the church you worship.

dat verse, i mean Mat23:23, was clearly to show d hipocrisy of d religious leaders of dat time, it was nt refered to d christians, if u said he was speaking to u. Then re-read it and put ur name where u find pharisees n scribe ".woe unto you, Emmog25, and Red Benson, hipocrites, for ye pay tithe of mint and anise.......",how d o u see it, and if u say we must do everything Jesus told d disciples, should we do this Mat10:5 "this twelf Jesus sent forth, ame COMMANDED THEM, SAYING, GO NOT TO THE WAY OF THE GENTILES, AND INTO ANY CITY OF TIE SAMARITANS, ENTIRE XE NOT" should we do this.

This question is hereby 're-asked' to the 'asker': IS IT GOOD TO PLANT (says vegetables) IN ONE FARM (esp in dry season) AND GO TO WATER ANOTHER?
Your answer to this is...

RedBenson:

So if it's not for evangelism and destitutes, was it meant for the pastors to use and be driving around with private jets?

Actually, tithes were meant for the Levites to feed from.

collynzo2: @bolded, it's either you are highly deluded or very poor at Math.

not deluded... I Hope to get to d level where my income monthly will clock 2.5million, I plan already to live a simple lifestyle, so, 250k will serve me and my family for d month while d rest goes into various kingdom projects I have designed...

It is wrong to pay tithe, stop bribing God with material things like cash, it is an insult to the creator of the universe. He is not a human like u.

Would it not have been better to know the IMMATERIAL things to give the One who commands: 'give and it shall be given unto you'?

Sal C: Go to your Church but pay your tithe in God's temple, ( the poor and needy around you) for our body is the temple of God.
Sorry if you think I twisted the scriptures.

YES... especially when one person owns d two farms... in dix case, God owns both churches.

You don't eat in KFC and pay at Mama put or anywhere you wish (for whatever reasons). Pay where you eat! Pay where you worship! worship where you are blessed!

This is a verse in the so-called old Testament.



This verse is not addressed to THE PEOPLE but to the PRIESTS who were using tithes for personal use

When it suits christians they remember it is Old and when not they just ignore it. The fact is tithes were a Jewish concept and it referred specifically to the Yield of the land = Agricultural produce. Note the phrase Tithe and offerings. Offerings were voluntary tithes were compulsory.

Also under the Jewish Law tithes were a form of TAX and the priests (Levites) had specific duties and obligations. They did not share in the land (Promised Land) and had certain duties. Its spirit and practice were " JEWISH LAW" and we understand the New Testament oes not operate in law so people can now eat pork and do not give "Guilt offering" for menstruation etc. There is no CHRISTIAN injunction for tithes that is convincing in the so called new testament

They say tithe is fraud , Hmmm so why is that whenever I pay my tithe i get blessed in a 1000 folds. Hmmmmm wonders shall never end.

You're asking the right questions Sir. More wisdom to you.

and I also ask; Is there any biblical backing for me paying my 'tithe'
to any church organization or worse still any specific branch?. Even
banks these days allow people to make payments from whereever they like
so what gives? [/quote]

If you are not a pathological liar, give us details of this 1,000 fold returns you get on your tithes.

Tithe should be paid according to Deut. 14. Anything contrary to that is fraud and any man who collects and spends through wrong means is a rogue. But wait o, why is it that the only thing among the laws of old testament being practiced today is tithe? Why? I say why? Well, hell fire is waiting for a lot of people.

Am sure ur question had been answered by the above.

To add to it, if pastors are not having hidden treasures for payment of tithes, i wouldnt expect to see them frowning cos a member of his church pays tithes in another church. This is if truly tithe is to be used as it was meant for by them.
