A debate needs to be raised on how to utilize and use tithes. in early days priest used to bring everything to the temple to be shared among the orphans and widows. Today our priests ask for tithes to invest in businesses. the real beneficiaries of tithes do not get it .how is this tithes accounted for,God is not a fool. He cannot order faithfuls to pay tithes so that the pastor can live a fancy life and report to the population that he is not doing badly.
The worst is that they will ask for vows, offering from their members to build to build businesses like factory, microfinance banks, hospitals and Universities that even majority of their church members cannot afford to patronize. The profits and proceeds of the church goes to the pockets of the founders and other leaders. I think most of our elites pastors and general overseers are not different from corrupt politicians because they are also corrupt. May God help us all and deliver us from evil, don't stop going to church because of this wicked pastors. Do not forsake the gathering of the brethren. Go there to serve God and not man or pastor but looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith.

Truly!
At this age and time?

how do you go into the house built and run by the thieves you just described pretending you go there to worship God instead?

Does a man visit a whorehouse in honour and in the worship of his wife?

Brother,
I was referring to you.
How can you bring up a sensitive topic up for debate?

Did anyone put a knife to your throat to pay Tithes?
If you don't understand the principles, just leave it and move on.
These are spiritual matters, you don't handle them with hands of levity.

Principles? Why do you repeat the lies told you by men, ignoring God's truth, in the name of God?

Thank you sir.
Let the men of God be lying to me, I like it that way.

Does God like it that way too?

More than half of the warnings Jesus Christ is recorded to have given His followers, as reported in the Gospel of Matthew, are warnings against falling for the snares and lies of so-called 'men of God' who will come to you in the name of God, to steal, kill and destroy the hopes of many. Are you sure God likes that you blatantly stand against Him in allowing yourself to be deceived by these men He warned you against, about 2000 years ago?

Let Him judge.
Don't help Him.

Thank you.

Thank you.

He already judged and gave His commandments. Living against His commandments is living in disobedience, remember?

He already judged and gave His verdict through His commandments. Living against His commandments is living in disobedience, remember?

You allow yourself get hoodwinked into parting with tithes then you turn around and argue who it
is for?

donnie:
1. Only the Priest, a Levite of the House of Israel was authorized to take tithes from the people. No Pastor, Bishop, Evangelist, apostle, prophet ever collected tithes because they were not authorized to do so by The Most High. (Nehemiah 10:37-38)

2. Since temple worship has ceased, so has Tithe and Firstfruit collection ceased until the Saviour returns, who will restore the priesthood and temple worship.

3. Tithes and firstfruits were received from only Israelites only at the place YAH chose to put his name, the temple in Jerusalem. (Deut 14:23, 2Chron 6:6)

4. Only landowners who grew crops and livestock tithed of their harvest, the Savior who was a carpenter couldn't have paid tithes. (Leviticus 27:30,32)

5. Money was not given as tithe. Tithes were in seeds, fruits, livestock, and other agricultural produce. You were penalized for bringing money as the tithe. (Leviticus 27:30-32)

6. The tither, together with the fatherless, the widows, the stranger, and the Levite (who had no land, or business) all came to the temple to eat the tithe and be satisfied. (Deut 14:23,29)

7. FIRSTFRUITS... that one is a whole new level of fraud.

8. Did Abraham and Jacob pay tithes as Christians do today?

These and many more in this video for those who love to know and walk in truth. For those who will continue in this deceit, there is a warning for you.

People just want an avenue to go out and Sunday presents itself.
People don't really much care about who gets the tithe or who it belongs to

Sunday presents itself? Really? You think God buys that as an excuse for why they frequent these 'LovePeddler-houses', spending money He provided them with in those places, believing they do so in his name?
