Tithes is not scritptural. It was instituted to support the tribe of Levi who had no inheritance in the land. Numbers12:21,24. They were to serve as priest in the tarbenacle and later in the temple. Also, the priests were to give a tenth of what they got. Numbers 10:37. If a Jew were to give cash instead of farm produce the he adds 5% of value. Leviticus27:31. Also the tithes were used to support vulnerable members of the society. Deuteronomy 14:28,29 and Deuteronomy 26:12.
We are no longer under the law of Moses and as such no need for a literal temple no sacrifices and no priests and logically no tithing which was to support the priests. Take for example we dont observe sabbath, we dont make animal sacrifice, we dont need to circumcise cos we are not under the law of Moses same with tithes. Acts15:1-6, Hebrews 7:27; Hebrews 9:12-14. The temple was already destroyed by the Romans as Jesus foretold Matthew 23:37,38; Luke 21:20-24; Ephesians 2:15; Colosians 2:13,14
The shift from the law of Moses to the law of Christ make GIVING VOLUNTARY NOT COMPULSORY. Luke 6:38; Luke 18:22; Acts 20:35
Also Paul emphasized same point 2Corinthians 8:12-15 and 2 Corinthians 9:7
The apostles never depended on tithes and as such never enriched themselves and were not a financial burden to others. 1 Thessolonians 2:6-9; 2 Thessolonians 3:6-12; Phillipians 4:11-13. Rather, Paul like others had to work to care for his needs even though he could use his position to depend on others. Acts18:1-3. Paul himself had to work not only for himself but to donate to others in need. Acts 11:27-30
Tithes is a ploy by theives "god if men" not men of God to exploit gullible people.
The video link below says it all

When u give tithes u dont give God money, u only fuel the exotic cars of those men while u trek, u pay for their mansions while u struggle to pay for ur face me i face you, u contribute to their universities which u cant afford to send your wards, u maintain their private jets while you struggle to fuel your car if u have any.
Read Acts 20:29,30; Philipians 3:19; Titus 1:11; 2 Timothy 4:3,4.
Chuches have become family investment or business enterprises. When they die, their wives or children takes over. Look at Church of God mission as an example. Their wives becomes Pastors Bishops Revrends when woman ought not to teach. Read 1 Corinthians 14:34,35 and 1 Timothy 2:11,12.

Jesus said that whatsoever you do to the least of your brethren, you have done unto me. With your 10% and more, support the ministry of Jesus. Give to the needy. Spread love. God is everywhere.

Hmm, teach your child in the way of The Lord when he grows up he will not depart from it. At 22 are you just paying your first tithe or you simply want to depart from what your parent has taught you from childhood?
Read your bible and you will know what to do.

Bro, read your Bible and you'll find the answer. It is no big deal paying your tithe in church if the church will use your tithe to provide food for God's house. God's house isn't just the household of the pastor. It includes that widow struggling to provide for her children, it includes the orphanage, the food is meant for the displaced and the Levite. So, don't be confused. Read your Bible if you have one and understand. Shalom.
Re: Should I Only Pay Tithe In Church? by hope4life: 11:12am On Apr 02, 2017
What does the Bible say in Malachi. Bring all tithes into my house so that there can be food. Tithes is used to promote God's work. After paying your tithes you can support NGOs separately. It will be rebellious to do otherwise. It doesn't it concern you what the pastor does with it. He will face God on d day of judgement. Pay tithes where you receive spiritual nourishment

Give to the NGO. Being religious differs from being spiritual. Religious fanatics would tell u to give it to the church bcz they really do not undstnd what the Bible says devoid of selfish interpretations by 'men of God'.
The scriptural references above have said it all. Don't be fooled. Give it to the NGO and watch God reward u as meet needs of the truly needy people. Narrow is the way bro... Be spiritual! Be wise!

Hello, Nairalanders,

I'm really confused on the issue of paying tithe. Its my first job at 22. I'm a very religious person and that's why I need to sample opinions if I only have to pay tithe in Church.

I know a particular guy who runs an NGO that pays the fees of school kids from poor homes. I offered to sponsor this humanitarian venture. The funds I plan to put into it will be my monthly tithe.

Simple meaning: I will not pay tithe in church. Rather I'll take the exact 10% and support this guy.

Is it proper? Should I only pay tithe in church? Please advise maturely.

Shalom!
Bring the full tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and thereby put me to the to test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.

23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—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.

You are not a born again christian. If you are or looking to become you won't ask this question and seeking opinion of mere mortals on spiritual matters. Religion and morality will not take you into heaven or God's kingdom, the person whom you derided by your question

How do you claim to love God when you have not seen God.. This you would find in the book of John.. To love your neighbors who are created in the image and likeness of God is to love God..

The early apostle would sell their belongings and distribute the money to the poor. But is that still visible in our time.. Where a pastor would be richer than politicians and would even build hospital and schools that those people who contribute this money cannot afford...

This passage of Malachi is a passage that many pastors constantly preach and forget the true message of repentance..

My brother I share the same school of thought with you... Give this money to people who cannot provide for themselves and you may just support your church projects once in a while...

Re: Should I Only Pay Tithe In Church? by captain247: 11:35am On Apr 02, 2017
Helping of the poor and the needy is good but did the Bible say you should use your tithe? Do away with anything contraveneing the scriptures as regards tithing it is clearly stated in Malachi 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.

Know also that it is a dept you owe God not man that you're paying. 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.

Your offering, kingdom investment, your parents and other givings including helping the needy should not come from your tithe.
