The laws of God and man is very different otherwise they would be tagged one and the same.

As for paying your tithe to a pastor because he spiritually feeds you.... it's fair.(though we know salvation is supposed to be free)

But then how long will he continue to feed you before you are fully grown to feed youself. Or does he feed you so you don't grow enough to start feeding yourself spiritually and better still feed others.

Christ instituted a better way to advance his kingdom which was cheerful giving. Not the mostly inconvenient and monthly grumbling 10% in form of tithe that most people even have a hard time calculating the actual 10% amount from their increase that month, leading to a probability of violating the tithing law because you could have overpaid or underpaid.

Let's try to open our eyes







Brother, I am not eternally depending on any man of God to be fed. God's grace, I am growing, though I haven't reached my goal yet but I keep pressing forward ......


On the subject of discussion, I hope yhu know as Christians we all must belong to a local assembly called church, now nt as a religion but as a means of identifying with the body of Christ of which we are admonished not to ever forsake. Hebrews 10:25

If yhu do agree with the above, yhu should know that there must alwys be an apostle or sherparhd over any of such gathering or commission. And if this be true, there must be certain obligations that make us a real member of the commission. Fulfilling not such obligations means yhu are just there but not a bonafide member. Do not also xpect the full benefits that every member in dat commission is xpected to enjoy.

If being spiritually grown means we do not need to belong to a local church or have an apostle over us then our Christianity has a lot of questions to answr.


Your growth is for yhu to be able to discern wat is right and also be able to teach others Xpecially the unbelievers, the way of Christ - which is our primary call.

Bro, any Christian who gives excuses or have reasons for not paying tithe in his local assembly needs to really examine himself.....2Corinthians 13:5


So, the question is, are yhu really in Christ? If yes, what Spirit instructs yhu nt to pay yhur tithe?

go and check HEBREWS chapter 7 sir. The priesthood of Jesus is of the order of Melchizedek, which validates the paying of tithes according to the new testament.
it does not validate it. If the first priesthood was working there would not have been a second.
Wen there is a change of priesthood there should be a change of the law. Jesus is the high priest and he is greater than melchizedek. Mind u if the first covenant was faultless there wouldn't be a second covenant. When God saw the ppls behavior, he said i will make a new covenant with my ppl. Heb 8:6-8

Show me anywhere in the scriptures wr Jesus or the Apostles said we shld go an hug transformer. 1 Peter 3:15 regulates how we shld reply persons who confront us, demanding an explanation for our beliefs. Using the bible as a yardstick, Ur response clearly confirms wat Jesus said in Matthew 7:16 that "by their fruits u will recognise dem and dat figs and grapes do not come from thorns and thistles". Wen the bible is no longer necessary for forming our beliefs or opinions, stories become the basis of our beliefs and opinions. 2 Timothy 4:4 "and they wld abandon the truth and give attention to false stories".

why did they change the priesthood in the order of melchizedek? If the first was working then the second wouldn't have come. Tithe is law and we are not under the law but by grace which is brought by the second priesthood Jesus Christ.
Grace is an enablement to do d law easily, not by force, dis will help u to do it with no one forcing you. Dat means grace did not remove law. We are only save by grace

Jesus didn't state it, but it had been stated in Malachi 3:10. No verse of the bible exists in isolation, they're all interwoven.

Tithe belongs to God brother

In Malachi 3:10, it wasn't just anybody speaking, it was God himself! Which higher authority is there?
So u deliberately used a quotation that has no application to the issue?
Now on to Malachi-He was a prophet of God who sought to turn back the isrealites back to God. Hence throughout the 4 chapters of Malachi, he talked about several standards of God that had been breached by the isrealites. God spoke against offering blemished animals by priests (1:6-8, 14), stolen things used as offering (1:13), whimsical divorces (2:14-17), priests misleading the ppl (2:1-9), marrying foreigners and their gods(2:11), making sacrifices and doing evil (2:12) and finally, 3:10- the breach of the priesthood arrangements originally contained in Numbers 18:20-24, 28; Deuteronomy 12:3, for the welfare of the priests. These composite issues were all that the book of malachi is about and as u said, no part of the scriptures is isolated. They are interwoven. Malachi represented God's reminder to the isrealites of their departure from his standards and abandonment of their duties to the priest's sustenance. Now in the face of Malachi 1:6-8, 14, wld u take that scripture d same way u take 3:10? More particularly wen we consider Hebrews 7:12 (u shld read it)? The answer is no.

This tithe issue is being over flogged. I tithe and it's my personal decision. I was not told to tithe by any man of God. I read it in the bible and believed in it and it has been working wonders for me. At times when things seems hard, I go on my knees and tell God to remember my givings and how I have been faithful to it and everything will change immediately. Please, tithing depends on your relationship with God. It is personal and you don't need any third party to dictate how you worship your God to you. It is not by force. If you don't believe in it, then stop discouraging others from doing it. No amount of preaching can stop me from tithing cause I know what it has done for me. I don't pay it to any pastor but to God. If the pastor likes let him embezzle it, that does not stop God from blessing me. The pastor has God to answer to. Mine is to obey. The bible says judgment shall start from the house of God. It is not in my place to judge but God's

First of all, what I notice is that you give because you want to receive and not because you are a cheerful giver. You give because it works for you. Tithing according to the law makes one give out of compulsion. This is against how Christ wants us to give. When he told the rich man to sell his properties and follow Him, He never promised the man earthly riches in return. My problem with your way of giving is that it is an act of false generosity which would end as soon as it stops working for you.

Secondly, accountability is key in the church. In the Early Church, Paul was very careful not to handle money or gifts and trustworthy men were often selected to handle money and gifts. My point is that it is the responsibility of every good Christian to hold their church elders accountable. Holding elders accountable can be beneficial to both the Church and her elders. First, it makes worshippers more participatory and not passive. It also helps the Church leaders to avoid the temptation of embezzling church funds. When leaders are held accountable and rebuked when found wanting, it would help to bring them back into righteousness every time they backslide. Paul asked us to be accountable to one another. Holding somebody accountable is not the same thing as passing judgement on them.

We saw accountability in the Early Church. Whenever someone sold his property, he brought it to the feet of the Apostles who immediately distributed it according to everyone's needs. The whole church was carried along on church expenses. The use of each fund were clearly spelt out and men were picked from among the Church to bear the gifts and money to where they were needed. There was transparency.

You people should stop displaying this attitude of not caring about how your tithes are used. If you fail to hold your church leaders accountable, how do you want to successfully hold the government accountable? The Church is supposed to be a light to the world. How do you expect to be taken seriously when your pastors are allowed to run the show without being accountable to you the stakeholders

You wear a cologne, and you begin to smell nice, someone then asks how are you sure the nice smell is from the cologne?
You have the memory of how things were before you wore the cologne. That's how it is with tithing. You do it right, it'll spell a clear difference.
Mind you, gullibility is too small a motivation for anyone to pay tithe. For us who do-sometimes even above the required portion- the blessings we get are our thrust.

For peeps who don't believe in God, you shouldn't refer to what they have as blessings. Blessings from who?. They're merely successful, and no one disputes that. Now you should get the point clearly. That you drive to Abuja doesn't change the fact that there are others who get there by flight. So some prosper by their hardwork, whereas for some of us it's God's blessings on our works that amplifies our success.

You guys have substituted the purpose of salvation for tithing... The new covenant that was made is of salvation, Jesus has become the ultimate sacrifice to replace the rams and blood sacrifices that were meant redeem the Israelites from sin whenever they committed it. Salvation didn't stop the principle (not law) of tithes and offerings... When Jesus was crucified, the curtain of the holy of holies got torn not to stop us from paying tithes but to show us that we can all freely have access to God in close relationship. But despite our new covenant and close relationship with God, we still have people whose calling is like the Levites: They can't work normal jobs, they are in God's service till they die... which shows the need for continuity of tithes and offerings.

Also, in the book of Malachi, God commands us to bring our tithes and offerings into His house... in the old testament, that was the temple of worship, in our times it is the church.

chapter 7 also proves that Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchizedek FOREVER... A priest to whom even the Priesthood of the Levites paid Tithe.

Hebrews 7:11-17 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Melchizedek didn't receive Tithe from Abraham under any laws or commandments,
The Levites did, and Jesus came out from the tribe of Judah, (the tribe that didn't have anything to do with priesthood, but royalty just like Melchizedek) therefore, the death of Jesus Christ didn't abolish the paying of tithes. It only reinforces the need to pay it not as under any laws or commandments but as a matter of understanding and freewill.

I pray that you will understand all I have said and yield yourself to the blessings thereof.

Don't try to manipulate the truth. If they paid the tithe, the Bible would mention it. Don't forget that the Bible mentioned how they raised fund for the new Christian body. Stop trying to manipulate the word of God just because you want to make your pastor to look right.

The Levites did, and Jesus came out from the tribe of Judah, (the tribe that didn't have anything to do with priesthood, but royalty just like Melchizedek) therefore, the death of Jesus Christ didn't abolish the paying of tithes. It only reinforces the need to pay it not as under any laws or commandments but as a matter of understanding and freewill.

I pray that you will understand all I have said and yield yourself to the blessings thereof.
Is dah so?

Re: Even If My Pastor Gambles With My Tithe, I Will Continue To Pay. by Goldstar(m): 7:44pm On Feb 11, 2018

First of all, what I notice is that you give because you want to receive and not because you are a cheerful giver. You give because it works for you. Tithing according to the law makes one give out of compulsion. This is against how Christ wants us to give. When he told the rich man to sell his properties and follow Him, He never promised the man earthly riches in return. My problem with your way of giving is that it is an act of false generosity which would end as soon as it stops working for you.

Please I am not giving out of compulsion. I started paying my tithe about 25years ago and have never regretted doing so. Like I said, nobody told me to tithe. I read it in the bible and decided to obey. If I am not a cheerful giver, God wouldn't be blessing me and He will definitely not honour my prayers whenever I remind Him of my obedience to His word. Please read Malachi again. He said I should bring my tithe and offering into His storehouse and see if He will not rebuke the devourer for my sake. He also said He will open the heavens for me. So, is it out of place to remind God of His promises to me?. Like I said, my dealing is with God and not pastors. I don't tell pastors when I'm paying my tithe or donating to the less privilege. I only deal with my creator.
