jdilight: Look around you and tell me ur better than all those who do not pay tithe. Do this sincerely u will realise that ur being delusional. Someone pointed out here that Catholic dogma/canon law does not emphasis tithe yet they were able to bring gospel here even building skols, hospitals etc. That's shows dt there are other ways d church can be sustained aside tithe but the greed of this modern crooks makes them preach these compulsory fraud to satisfy their quest for quick money.

jdilight:Op.. why do U kip quoting leviticus and d old convenant? can U try to find a new convenant back up for tithing? maybe in d gospels ... letters of Paul or Acts of the apostles... my humble opinion :if xtians in d days of d apostles paid tithes it would ave been mentioned somwia in d book of acts or by paul. The emphasis in d new testament is on *giving* that is d window to God's blessing in d new convenant. Im pushing these layman thoughts because i do not want to delve into theology. ave u ever thought abt why d new testament is silent on tithes? |

I don't care about what you say about tithe. The payment of tithe to pastors is not scriptural.pls liberate yourselves from this cheap mental slavery all in the name of receiving financial blessings. WTH!!!! 1 Like |

scedescede:first of all, was God talking to us? It was when the isrealites abandoned the laws of moses, that was when God sent prophet malachi to them just remind them of some of those laws. Read it from chapter one to the last chapter. The point is among all those laws that prophet malachi mentioned, how come its only tithe that pastors use to read, and besides, he was talking to the isrealites. Another issue is that, when you read book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, you will see several laws that God gave to the israelites through moses that we christians dont obey. Tithe is also part of this law, how come among all those so many laws, its only tithe that pastors say we should obey and they tell us to ignore others, that jesus has cancelled them. When jesus came, he didnt collect tithe, and he never asked the people that preached for to pay tithe. Likewise the Disciples, the started the early church in the book of acts and never mention anything about tithe. These are the people that started christianity. Its all these pentecostal pastors that modified christianity. 2 Likes |

A rich man came to Jesus and asked Jesus christ, what can i do to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus asked him if he obeyed all the ten commandments, and he said yes. Jesus now told him to sell all his belonging and give the money to the poor and he will have treasures in heaven. Jesus did not say sell all your belonging and bring the money to me, or pay me the tithe, or pay the tithe to someone else. He said he should give everything to the poor. 6 Likes |

In the three years of Jesus earthly ministry, not once did he ask us to pay tithe, he only said "give, and it shall be given unto you" pastors in their greed brainwash and enforce tithe on the congregants, if Jesus had commanded once, believe me we would not be having this arguments today, but these pastors twist everything, the bible says clearly women should cover their head while praying but our pastors say "no need" yet they dig up the old testament to preach tithe.

THE LAW TITHE WAS ALWAYS EATEN (LEV. 27:30-33) Leviticus 27:30-33 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. And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. In the above passage, Moses was given instructions by Almighty God to relay to the children of Israel. That instruction was that they were to tithe. What they were to tithe were products of agricultural nature: a) The children of Israel were to tithe the seed of the land; i.e., garden produce such as corn, wheat, mint, cumin, dill, anise, etc.. Anything grown in the garden was tithable. b) The children of Israel were to tithe the fruit of the trees; i.e., pomegranates, figs, dates, apples, olives, etc.. c) The farmer was allowed to buy back his tithe of crops if he had need of it. If he chose to buy back the tithe, the Levite would assess the value of the tithe and then sell the tithe back to the farmer at a cost twenty percent above the assessed value of the tithe. d) From their flocks and herds, the children of Israel were to tithe every tenth animal that passed under the rod; i.e., the herder would count the animals as they passed under his counting rod. Every tenth animal was to be tithed. e) The livestock tithe could not be bought back. God demanded that tenth animal and gave no provender for the farmer retaining the animal as his own. If the farmer decided a different animal was to be given as tithe than the tenth one, then both the animal offered and the tenth animal were to be given to the Levite. The tithe remained agricultural from 1410 B.C., when Moses was given the commandments for the children of Israel up until 70 A.D., when the Temple was destroyed in Israel and the Levites no longer had the duties they previously had. There is not one instance of money being tithed in those 1480 years. FOOD OR MONEY? EVERY INSTANCE OF TITHING EXCEPT ABRAM’S IN THE BIBLE WAS OF FOOD (DEUT. 12:17; 14:22-29; 26:12; MAL 3:7-11 Deuteronomy 12:17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand: Deuteronomy 14:22-29 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. And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee. 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. Deuteronomy 26:12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; The above passages further reveal the content of the tithes under the Mosaic/Levitic Law. Again, tithes were food, and nothing more. There is not one iota of Scripture that states that God required tithes of anything other than agricultural products. Tithes, under the Law, were always eaten by someone; whether by the Levite, the tither and his family, or by the less fortunate in Israel. |

jdilight: First of thr are basically 3kinds of tithe mentiond in the holybook Tithe 1 The tithe devoted to the pristly tribe (the levi), nb: if the is the kind of tithe we'r giving today, tak note the bible emphasizd oftn that this priestly tribe hav no possessions, no land, no school, no companies, no jets lev 27 frm vs 30 Tithe 2 Deut 14 v 28 This type u bring aftr 3year, bring all the tithe of that years produce so dat the levites who hav no inheritanc of ther own (no multiple private schools, no multi million naira jets, no acr's of lands and mansions) I surpose dats wht inheritnc means, I could be wrong. wondr Y we don't practic dis one Tithe 3 This one is more like a festival tithe Then to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name-- there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the LORD. 12 And there rejoice before the LORD your God, you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levites from your towns, who have no allotment or inheritance of their own. It is only to be eaten at a place specified by the lord. Bottomline I don't tink tithing is by force, u can give out of the williness of ur heart not becos u will be caused if u don't. But for naija here they use malachi 3:10 to manipulate us. It is well |

plaetton:My dear,Tithing is not bribe is a scriptural principle,is True Jesus never talked about Tithe,but we are made to understand that we are seed and descendants of Abraham,Abraham was the first to pay tithe and that was the secret of the wealth and Riches of Abraham,so we need to follow in that pattern to enjoy the same blessings of Abraham.is stingyness that makes some people speak against tithe,giving 10% of my Increase and keeping 90% for myself,wont make me Poor.those tithe are used to finnance and Funds the Church. |

majekdom2: Huh? Did you not understand? I was rebuking the religiotard for referring to himself as a seed of Abraham. How is it possible, what kind of mental degradation would make a black skinned African to call himself a seed of Abraham? Has our society failed so much so that our children are not taught in schools that they are bona fide Africans. I don't know what is worse for me.
