There is no where in the bible that you are required to pay tithe with money.

Read malachi 3:8- 10 for yourselves.

reject for what

Tithes can be paid from anything . Provided the church can use them. Not everything was accepted as tithe in the bible days. Unclean plants and unclean animals were not accepted . It's wise to use money since money represent your labour and it's a medium of exchange

so I asked you which church you attend in your other thread critizing the catholic church and you ran away and came over here. lmao
Since you said in your other thread that catholics and t.b Joshua followers will go to hell, I asked you which church do you attend so that we can follow your heavenly pastor. Alas, Immediately I asked that question, you abandoned the thread and ran away.
Why are you so ashamed of naming your church, rather hiding behind your keyboard and attacking others.
If you are scared of naming your church, how are you going to convert the hell bound team of catholics and t,b Joshua team nah?

cant stop laughing.

I dare you to mention your church

Talk with your pastor. It's not everything people gave as tithe in the bible days . It's not everything God accepted . They only gave what could be used in the house of God. Or rather convert it to money. The use of money for tithes and offering started in the bible days.

the use of money was very much discouraged in the bible days. No Jew paid a monetary tithe of 10%. Tithe in those days was always agric produce with the option of redemption. Redeeming ya tithe would mean you first tithe ya produce then buy it back at marrket value plus 2.5% of the value as a penalty for wanting to exercise the buy back option. For paying cash, ya total tithe expenditure becomes 12% instead of 10%.

you self know its not everything God accepted back in the days. How come pastors today accept tithe of 'watever' today? How come pastor accepts unclean cash as tithe to God? Am yet to see a pastor teach that God cannot be involved in the business of money laundry.

but i use farm produce like potato, cocoyam, rice etc. Isn't it?

@OP, why do you seem so bothered about this issue of tithing? You tithe on the result of your labour and I assume you know its honest labour I mean. So if you are paid with garri or cocoyam or beans, rice, then tithe these things if you want to.
Money is simply a medium of exchange. When the employer is paying someone meal alowance to put food on his table or for transport in contemporary world, they usually pay in cash. Money is not what is served on the table, it is what is used to exchange what you want. That is why people give of the result of their labour. If you have attended churches in villages, people bring things like yam, egusi, plantain to offer God. Even they understand.
But as you have claimed that you need not tithe, then get a rest.
Do things our of the integrity of your heart not just out of compliance. It is about the Spirit of understanding. Simple.

You can, but money value makes more sense. Because when you give materials as offerings or tithe , the church has to go through labour to selll it. So why not give cash . But if you're a fan dealer it won't be a bad idea to give fan or chair if your church is in need of such

They accepted unclean cash too in the bible days. Those who brought unclean things had to convert it to cash

You may choose to assume, but pastors must teach their church that only acceptable cash is cash from honest labor. i mean even though they don't preach/teach God's tithe, they should stop deceiving prostitutes, robbers, corrupt politicians, ritualist, yahoo boyz e.t.c (that is in addition to making desperate/gullible/greedy church goers/christians believe they are paying God's tithe when they are actually paying the pastoral tithe)

hw was tithe payed in the bible? Is it with money? Why are they nt following the bible pattern?

Joagbaje:

Lol! joagbaje are you saying money used for the replacement/redemption of animals unfit for sacrifice was unclean? How? and i don't see how you can compare the redemption of unclean animals with the offering of cash gained from ungodly source. first, its the source of the cash we are talking about; was the cash used for redemption obtained from carrying out ungodly acts? secondly, the fact that an animal was unfit for sacrifice is not saying that the animal could not be sued for other acceptable practices. can we say the same for prostitution, money ritual e.t.c? I don't see how you even begin to compare uncleanliness resulting from physical defect to one resulting from ungodly (immoral) acts.

and i don't see how this can be a justification for pastors collecting/accepting solen cash from armed robbers, politicians & yahoo boyz, or cash earned from money rituals e.t.c

that guy with tithe self. He is twisting the scripture now to support his tithe doctrine.

Ukuts gp: hw was tithe payed in the bible? Is it with money? Why are they nt following the bible pattern?

they are not following the 'bible pattern' because there is no gain for pastor (you can only receive tithe from farmers and there are very few farmers in urban church and pastor cannot live by foodstuff alone ) and also because the bible pattern went with the Jewish law.

The modern day tithe is the creation of pastors and subject to individual modifications. Why do think people have problem determining the correct tithe and mode of payment? do you read the bible saying if you miss your tithe payment this year/season you should add it to next year's tithe. some peeps same pocket money is tithable some say its not. some say tithe is gross salary while some say its net after deducting tax, pension and loan. Can God give an ambiguous command? Pastors have not been able to define the tithe they preach (and most tithers don't even understand what they practice). the best you hear or read is that tithe is 10% (of what?) some people say it's 10% of watever (the reason everybody including prostitutes, robbers, thieves in offices e.t.c are tithing). Can God's tithe be 10% of watever?
