Mintayo: [PortHarcourtBoy]Me sef no dey kukuma dey pay tithe give anybody and Baba God still dey bless me...

Same God wey create Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, etc...still dey bless everybody, whether you dey pay tithe or not...

God has not been really blessing you,blessing is not been limited to money along,it goes a long way than that;what you enjoy when you pay tithe is protection,provision,insight,wisdom etc!

Yvete: One of my close friends pays his tithes to a Pastor in Nigeria because the Pastor prayed for him 3 years ago before he got his visa. Basically, his tithe is a form of appreciation for prayer rendered on his behalf. When people fail to study the Bible, they get it all twisted! SMH

I still tithe to the Church and do little charity as well. I don't think charity should replace tithing though Jesus was very particular about helping the poor/needy.

Acidosis: Crap!

God did not say you should give your TITHE (God's 1/10th demand) to the poor...

If you want to give to the poor, c'mon, you can even give your FULL salary after paying the tithe to the church..
You can get a big loan and give to the poor, NO ONE will stop you..

And only a f00l will practise that which you suggested...
You don't need to show the whole congregation what you want to give.... Invite them to your house, pack your belongings and money and properties for them
BUT
Your tithe is for God! Try and change his order by trying to use your "professor wisdom" and you're doomed...
If God wanted us to do that, he'd have given us the commandment!

These things have been written before our greatgrandfathers were born and you can not change it with your JET age 21st century terrestial sense...

frosbel2:

ehmm, he paid tithes not on his wealth but on the WAR Booty. Read your bible again.

And he paid it once , not every month or even year.

ogunsam75: Bro! you have said it all, but some fool who believe they are bible scholar still hide under mosaic law to exploit money from people in the name of tithe

frosbel2:

God does not eat Tithes and Offerings , it all goes into the account of the church and they use it to buy Jets, build bigger temples , enrich the rich and throw away some crumbs to the poor.

Mate, don't get me started this afternoon, Is GOD a money doubler ? You think the church is a bingo hall or casino where you put 10 Naira and God throws back 1000 Naira or gives you a wive or a husband, maybe a bigger house , probably a better car etc.

God blesses hard work not laziness.

Money lovers with their itching ears, no wonder they are deceived.

alexleo:

I dont give tithe because church said, but because its in the bible. Also I have the spirit of God and he has NEVER told me that i should not give my tithe. I dont need any frosbel or whosoever to give me any crap about tithe and offering. This is why every child of God must continually seek the Holy Spirit to dwell in him because he will guide you into all truth. Away with frosbel and his cohorts and their NONSENSE teachings. I pity those they deceive.

In my experience, since i landed in Oyinbo land, I haven't been to a single church where tithing is preached, which is why you see all dem Oyinbo are living in Poverty and poor health because they refuse to part with a tenth of their earnings. Compare that with what applies in my homeland, where tithing is aggressively preached and the people of God prospereth in abundant wealth, and health. Hallelujah somebady!!!!

For those of you who for one reason or the other are unable to make it to church on Sundays, you can be forgiven for this, but just so you don't miss out on the opportunity to bring a tenth of your offerings to the Lord, I will be setting up an e-payment account where you could forward your payments for onward passage to the Lord of Hosts. Can i get a "humm humm humm humm"? Can i get an amen somebaddy!!!!

Do not ignore this message!! Remember, the Lord has promised and He will do it, can i get an Amen Somebaddy!! He said, he shall open up the gates of heaven and pour our blessings. Somebaddy say "POUR"!!! say "POUR". Yes, yesss, i can feel it!!!

Oahray: pastors are not the equivalent of priests. Jesus replaced the priest class and offered an everlasting sacrifice with his shed blood. The bible says so at Hebrews 7:1-28.

Stop this misinformation!

cecegorz:
Tithes has absolutely nothing to do with the LAW.
Abraham, our father paid tithes to the high priest Melchizedek, showing us that this is a spiritual act of worship. This was centuries before Moses and the Law came into existence.
When you give your tithe, even though it is received and even spent by your pastor, reckon it a vow to God who is your true source.
If your Pastor unworthily uses the tithes like the children of Priest Eli who were using prongs to eat out of the sacrifial meet, God himself will judge him.
The people that sacrificed the meats eaten by Eli's children went home rejoicing, having fulfilled their obligation, they never went back to demand from the Priest, how the sacrifices were shared.

jmoore: @frosbel, why don't you take the lead? Do exactly what you have posted in your church.

Those who pay tithes also give to the needy.

I wonder how someone who doesnt know the origin of tithe will come and start screaming "mosaic law".
Abraham was the first person that paid tithe and no law commanded him to do so.

Leave everyone to pay their tithes where they deem fit and go back to bible school to understand the origin of tithe.

danny301: Christianity is a way of life and one the major issue about Christianity is that it has to do with instructions... It's one thing to give yet it's another thing to give according to God's instructions. Tithes are not meant to be given to individuals as alms but to be paid to the Church authority... The Pastor is not God but he is God's man in the sanctuary so he decides how the tithes should be used...Every church need money to survive, and i think tithe is the major source of income of many churches ..... Follower-ship has to do with trust and loyalty and for any one to be a committed member of any church he must trust the leadership of the church to do right even with the money that comes to the church if you cannot trust and submit urself to the leadership of any church you certainly don't belong there....... If you want do alms-giving it mustn't be in church, it can be on the street or even in orphanage homes and it must not be with tithe, it can be ur whole salary or u can even sell ur house for that purpose, there is no big deal but teaching people to come to church and call out the need-dies and be giving them tithe is certain not one of God's command neither is it an acceptable way of doing good works....... I can see that many people are becoming unnecessarily obsessed about Pastors living fine as if pastors are not human beings.... In as much as i hate it when pastors make merchandise of their members for greediness yet we must accept the fact that pastors deserves good cars and even houses like other people.... If the hip-top artist and comedians that gather people to tell them practical lies and (dirty) jokes deserves good lives i feel the pastor that teaches people the way of eternal deserves more..... Many Pastors i know would definitely be doing better financially they were to follow their else-while careers.

Damex333: Am not a bible scholar but of my own God given knowledge. The israelites were instructed to give the levites tithes cos the levites were the only tribe that was give the Job of taking care of the temple,and the box of testimony, they were only given that work no other work for them,they weren't asked to till the ground, so i think we should give our tithes to the church, but d bible says "whosoever doesn't say his/her tithes is robbing God." this is not telling not to help the needy, aren't the children of israel helping the needy? But they still give their tithe. So, we shouldn't mix vivid together wit offerings to the needy. U can always give to the needy as u ape empowered to give,but definately not from ur tithe.

Mintayo:



Lets leave the issue of tithe and talk about the salvation of our souls,tithe paying will never take you to heaven but salvation(new birth will),accept Jesus today!

ezme:



Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils of war. Please provide any bible translation where "this tenth" Abraham gave was actually called tithe.

Let me put present day tithing in perspective. Tithing is a membership criterion for administrative purposes and is not an instruction from God for present day Christians. Your Church needs money to operate and a sure way to get it is through tithing. So when next you pay your tithe know you as helping to keep your Church running and not attracting God's blessings. Tithing can been likened to paying dues in social clubs.

frosbel2:

I don't pay tithes, but have a wonderful career, good health and a family God has blessed me with.

Away with your LIE called the TITHE.

Mintayo:

i bet you are satisfy with your level as you are now!
God still wants to do more for you,but you have to walk in that realm by paying your tithe!

Flyboy Zee:

That was in the old testament when Judaism held sway and not in the new testament where Christianity started. Please stop reading your Bible from Revelation to Genesis. The Bible starts in Genesis and ends in Revelation, if you read it in that order you'll reslize that old things have passed away and all things have become new. Knowledge is power.

Mintayo:

thank You and God will bless you,i think you have said it all!
Most people don't want to give tithes and offering because they are very stingy and greedy too(i.e if they will be sincere).
It is a rebellious xtain that wants to know by all means what his pastor does with offering or tithe!
People shld prayerfully read matt 23:23!

frosbel2:

It is my business what the Pastor does with my money , it is not his money , he did not wake up by 5am to go to work and come back by 6pm and sometimes even 8pm.

Therefore, I must understand what my money is used for. I do not want my money, the money I worked hard for, to go to the building of larger temples and mega churches, making pastors live like kings while the poor are left to suffer in need etc.

This is my advice to your pastors :

"He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need." - Ephesians 4:28

Tell me Sir, since you and your pastors know more than Paul, why did Paul not use this opportunity to ask them to work for the purpose of paying Tithes and Offerings ? Instead he asked them to share with the needy.

Tithe preachers STOP STEALING from the POOR to make the richer RICHER.

frosbel2:

The Pastor needs to get a JOB, Paul worked etc.

The Church is not a welfare state for just anybody, it is to meet the needs of the needy , not the rich.

alexleo: I am not suprised to see this in front page because Jesoul is against tithing and manmustwac being an atheist may not also be in support of that hence the smooth sail of this frosbel false teaching to the front page. SATAN SEEMS TO BE WINNING HIS BATTLE OF PLANTING FALSE DOCTRINE IN CHRISTIANITY BUT GOD WILL NOT ALLOW HIM.
