You need to ask yourself some VERY SERIOUS questions. 1)Who do you think will benefit most from your tithe? Your church or your friend? 2)Who do you think will be least affected if you don't give them your tithe? Your church or your friend? 3)Who do you think can make the best use of your tithe? Your church or your friend? I think the answer to your question is bloody obvious. Please learn to think for yourself. You shouldn't really come here with such elementary questions  8 Likes |

Sijo01: Gudday folks. Dearest in the lord i beg you by the mercies of the lord not to make that mistake, tithe is suppose to be given in obidience to the lord and not to attract God's judgement as a result of breaking God's command. For the scripture cannot be broken, God is not steering at your resources each time you pay tithe, all he want to see in you is your obidience and persistence, what belongs to God is God's dont ever trade it for anything. Here are some references: Mal 3:10 - Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, "I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! Ezekiel 44:30 The best of all the firstfruits and of all your special gifts will belong to the priests. You are to give them the first portion of your ground meal so that a blessing may rest on your household. Numbers 18:21 "I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the Tent of Meeting. Leviticus 27:30 "'A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. Leviticus 26:3 "'If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands. 3 Likes |

[size=13pt]@ OP, You will notice it's only when it comes to tithe that all these verses from OLD TESTAMENT are pull up. I am doing a comprehensive teachings on tithe and will take up to 2 months or more to finish it here on NL considering questions and answers. It's all about using the bible to explain the bible and interpreting the bible in CONTEXT. Stone your rebellious sons to death, they will tell you we are under the grace and not under the Law so we cannot do that anymore. Why is it ONLY tithe they STILL STICK to in the Old Testament? Why? But the tithe teachers will never let you see or want you to see this verse in Deuteronomy 14:21-29 nkjv but am not quoting all here, you can read for yourself: v22: "You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year. v23: "And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always. The biblical tithe as you can see IF TRULY NEEDS TO BE PRACTICED SHOULD BE FROM FARM PRODUCE NOT MONEY TITHE. MONEY EXISTED IN THOSE DAYS BUT GOD NEVER ASKED HIS PEOPLE TO TITHE MONEY. GOD IS SPECIFIC WHEN IT COMES TO INSTRUCTIONS. If you read the whole of that verse, God also told them to use the tithe when converted to MONEY, it should be used for WHATEVER YOUR HEART DESIRES. v25-26. Above all, Jesus said: If you can "do it" to any of these ones, you have done it to me. My dear sister, GO YOUR WAY WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT TWICE AND GIVE YOU BROTHER IN NEED. THIS IS TRUE RELIGION IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. Read the book of James chapter 1:27 - 2:end. Tithe had being abolished in the new testament but we are left with GIVING that comes from our heart, that is cheerful, that is spirit led not according to law of Moses.[/size] 9 Likes |

My dear give to your brother in need. Matt. 23:23 Woe to you, scribes [teachers of the law: NIV] and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law -- judgment, mercy, and faith; these you ought to have done, without leaving the other undone. Luke 11:42 But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God; these you ought to have done, without leaving the other undone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. In the context of Luke 11:41 true cleanliness of the conscience is achieved through freewill giving to the poor as compared to mandated giving of the law. Luke 11:41 But rather give alms [charity: NAS; to the poor: NIV] of such things as you have, and, behold, all things are clean to you. 2 Likes |

joe4christ:My dear God will bless u eternally for ur reply....was about tellin her similar tin before i read ur comment. Thank God dat we stil have true christians and God fearing ones at dat in NL.OP u better keep dat tithe for God coz he had not commanded us to give it to ppl instead the Bible says in Mal 3:10 - Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, "I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!.....so be wise. And for those ranting against Men of God,i feel so sorry for u guys coz u dont know d gravity of wat u re gettin into. |

[size=13pt]@ chaikie(m): Can you tell us who God was talking to in this verse of Malachi? You called others that don't support tithe false christians and non-fearing to God. You probably are not a bible student. Don't mean no harm but you only say what your pastor told you and not like the Berean Christians to find out for yourself. Acts 17:11. Kindly tell us and the whole world who God was talking to in the book of MALACHI you quoted.[/size] |

My brother, dont let anybody deceive you, Firstly, religion is all about Obedience and remember OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE. Secondly, religion is all about doctrine and if you are a memeber of a church that means you profess to its doctrine. PLS PAY YOUR TITHE FIRST AND GOD WILL MAKE A WAY TO HELP YOUR BROTHER. LET ME TELL YOU, IF YOU USE THAT MONEY, DEFINETLY , DEVIL WILL COME UP WITH ANOTHER PROBLEM AND EXCUSE. GIVE TO GOD WHAT BELONGS TO GOD AND CEASER WHAT BELONGS TO CEASER. 2 Likes |

The book of Galatia makes me understand that we are feel from the law as we are save by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone...the only love i am tied to and am willingly tied to is love, in Christ love compells us to do all thing. If the direction of the spirit moves towards paying to the church no problem God would make a way for your broda but if the opposite more blessing...but in all no that you pay tithe or not you are no longer under any curse or guilt nor rob God, for all his fulfilled in Christ, what the law could not achieve Christ have achieve that why in the last he said it is finish... |

Why will you give a brother in need your tithe? Tithe should be paid to a bible believing church whatever the money is used for is non of your business just make sure you follow biblical injunction dat says bring all tithe to the storehouse which is the church. If u really want to help ur brother then do so but not with your tithe. wisdom is profitable to direct. This site is not the best place to ask for advise about anything religion/scriptural we have a lot of confusionist. Be careful to obey is better than sacrifice 98 percent obedience is disobedience 1 Like |

"But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless." Matt:12:7. I pulled this up from Jesus response to those who accused his disciples for plucking corn on Sabbath when they were hungry. Tithe is God's money but if you are sure that your brother really needs the money and there's no alternatives, go ahead and give him. We are led by the Spirit of God and not laws. But don't do it often cos your heart may deceive you into using your tithe for other purposes when there are alternatives God bless. 3 Likes |

Yes you can give your tithe as an EXCEPTION to your brother in need. Read Deuteronomy 14 vs 22-29. Pray and explain to God why you are taking this action.God desires a personal relationship with his children,more than offerings. Read Psalm 50 |

Give your brother the money. It's for times like these and people in need that God required tithes in the old testament. And it is because of the abuse and failure of this system that tithes were abolished in the new testament in favour of freewill giving (although u'll never hear that from pastors). And just in case u need biblical justification, it is written "If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." 1 Timothy 5:8. 4 Likes |

Atu you have misinterpreted the verse you quoted GIVE TO GOD WHAT BELONGS TO GOD AND CEASER WHAT BELONGS TOCEASER. And Jesus ask whose face was on the coin, they replied ceasers' then he said to them give to ceaser' that which is ceaser' so even base on this you see the church has no currency of its own... God has no need of man's money...that which he desire is to reconcide man to himself...for he wishes not that any should perish but all should come to the knowledge of truth, its our moral right and love for our neighbours that enables us to help them financially, spiritually, emotional, mentally and otherwise... 3 Likes |
