Born 2be Rich: tithe is not the will of God. Freewill Giving is. and giving to the poor carries so much more weight that the fraudulent way tithes are being practiced today. if the tithe money was openly distributed among the needy brethren, as opposed to paying salaries and funding affluence, people will have less issues with it. |

[quote author=CrazyMan] Stop misquoting the scriptures. It didn't say train a child to pay tithe....christ never instructed us to pay tithe. Read malachi 3:10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my temple. If you do, says the Lord almighty, 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! Let me prove it to you! @op Asking children to pay tithes is just a way of teaching them what you expect them to do when they grow. Its the same way you teach them how to save when an uncle or aunt gives them money. It is not compilsory, if you feel that's the way you want to train your child, fine. If you think otherwise, fine also but you don't have to castigate those who do. 1 Like |

dammy_king: Dude, quit living in ignorance. Malachi 3:10 did not explain what tithe is neither did it explain how it should be paid. First of all, before you jump to the consequences of paying or not paying tithe which Malachi 3:8-10 dweels upon, it's better to grasp the fundamentals first. The fundamental questions you should seeks answers to first include; 1. What is tithe? 2. How many types of tithes exist? 3. What should be tithed? 4. Who should "pay" the tithe? 5. What should the tithe be used for? The fundamentals and practice of tithing are fully explained in Deuteronomy 14: 22-29. Read and be delivered. Deuteronomy 14:22-29 New International Version (NIV) 22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own. 28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. It is after seeking and getting the answers to these questions from the scriptures that you'll know that tithing as currently preached by most of our pastors is nothing but scam. 4 Likes |

all these people twisting and quoting bible passages misleading people, how do you expect a kid that is not working to pay tithes? when i was growing up, my folks gave us money for offering ONLY!! which was the right thing to do as they were instilling in us the principle of giving back which may not even necessarily be in the house of God. Right now i tithe and it did not need any pastor or reverend to tell me to do that so far one is in tune with God and reads the good book. Make all these churches chill abet |
| Re: Children Paying Tithes; IS THIS RIGHT? by Nobody: 11:42am On Nov 08, 2012 |
there are no levitical priests today to pay tithes to. Jesus is our high priest and He never ordered us to tithe to him or any man. he demanded we be generous to those in need...sometimes testing the faith of some to give away all that they had. that was the cost factor of becoming a disciple of christ...in order words, a Christian. there is no storehouse in place today. we are the temple of the living God the church. Pastors ought to work just like everyone. they should even teach the lazy ones among the congregation the value of work by showing example. collecting tithes to pay salaries is just outright deceit. 1 Like |

There are many hypocrites in the church these days. Why should a child pay tithe? Does he/she work? The same people who talk so much about tithing if you check them very well they don't pay their tax at all to the government yet, we were all commanded by Christ to give to ceazer what is Ceazers' and to God what is Gods'. Pay your tax to your government and give to the poor and needy. 2 Likes |

dammy_king: simple. if only you will just calm down and read. the tithes were collected for the poor and the levites who had no inheritance in the Land that was given to the children of israel. in some cases, they were commanded to eat the tithes in the presence of God (your pastor wouldn't teach you this). now jesus didn't say we should stop giving, but the tithe system is obsolete now in that there are no levitical priests, no sons of aaron, no yearly atonement of sins with offerings and tithes. He paid for all that once and for all with his blood. the former priestly order in israel for the remission of sins was God > Sons of Aaron > Levitical priests > Children of israel. The new priestly order for all true christians now is God > Jesus > believers. And what he emphasized was that we give cheerfully and willingly to the poor and downtrodden, expecting our rewards, not here on earth, but in heaven... why? to teach believers that we are all one...whether rich or poor. |

Born 2be Rich: ...because the tithe is a legalistic form of giving. freewill giving means all types of legalistic and compulsory giving have been done away with. |

All of you quoting malachi 3:10, first read malachi 1:1 and 2:1 and then follow the trail of accusations all the way down to chapter 3. who was God accusing? The Priests in israel... Certainly not the gentiles, who never had the command to tithe in the first place. so chill. you really think that Christ will call you a robber and curse you for not paying tithes? these men of the cloth have done a damn good job. 1 Like |

dammy_king: I'm not arguing with you on the proprieatary of paying or not paying. That'll be a story for another day. The portion of the bible i referenced above, gives instruction on how to spend your tithe. I have never seen a portion of the bible that said you should give your tithe to your pastor. It clearly says you should eat your tithe in the house Of God with strangers, fatherless, widows, poor etc not forgetting the Levites(pastors) because they have no inheritance among you. The only reason the Levites (pastors) were to partake in eating the tithe was because they owned no property among the others as they lived in the temple as full time workers and had no source of income or inheritance. Pastors today have businesses, inherit parents properties, work, receive salaries or allowances. What I'm saying in essence is that the scripture clearly states that tithe should be used mainly on the poor and needy in the society. 1 Like |

uhonmora: Where is it legal...is it in the constitution?..... You people keep on criticizing the pastors about tithes but you forget that they also preached about giving to other people.... Giving tithes and sacrificial giving is a way of showing God that you thank him for what he has done.. King solomon gave that biggest offering (read your bible) and built a magnificient temple for God (not only poor and needy now but also to GOD)....We should learn to give to the poor, helpless and needy but it shouldnt hinder you from sacrificing one tenth of your earning to God.... As for the pastor, yes i agree that there are fruadulent pastor and it is confirmed in the bible but the ultimate judge is God so it is advisable to continue your on work and let God handle them accordingling... |

In the practice of the early Christians, Paul, Peter, John, Philip and the rest, what they did was to contribute ALL they had into central pause where they shared with each other and all disciples, the poor and the needy. They shared these equally amongst themselves so that no one is richer or poorer than the other. This was their practice. This is a sharp contrast from what is being practised in churches nowadays. Do the present acclaimed Christians know Christ more than the Apostles? This is the reason I admire the Catholic Church. They don't emphasise too much on tithe yet whatever its being contributed in the church they give back to the society through social welfare they set up like orphanages, old people's homes, clinic, schools etc, which are often free of charge in most cases. This is exactly how the early Christians lived their lives. |

Born 2be Rich: Are you flying to heaven and giving God your tithes directly? have you asked your pastors what they do with the tithe collections week in, week out, month in, month out, year in, year out? if a substantial part of the money is not being used to take care of the needy, then you are not giving to God, you are giving to greedy men...because the essence of tithe collection practiced in israel was mainly to take care of the needy. |

By the way, when a child of 13 or 18 or younger pays tithe the mnumu pastor should know that he should be in school studying not working. These pastors don't even serve God like missionaries of old who built many schools for the poor and dedicated time to teach the interedted people in the area to read and write. Nowadays they enjoy seeing porverty cos those expectant poor people will keep giving miracle expectation oferrings. 1 Like |
