Away with your anti-tithe lies.

Godseagle: You say give your old bass, shoes and clothes to the needy. And still say Tithes should be giving to the needy. If you're hungry tell people you're hungry and stop seeking for Tithes. Better still go become a Pastor and start collecting Tithes. RUBBISH.

Mate, GOD does not multiply MONEY , he blesses obedience and holiness, not money grabing greedy attitudes.

There has always been something about this tithes which i never fully understood. The Malachi scripture that was always quoted didnt ring true in my spirit. It put God in a role where he punished if you didnt pay a tenth of your earning. I never understood this. They made it seeem God was into some sort of recieving a particular sum and if this was not done, I was in trouble. Thats not the nature of God at least not what my bible teaches me.

''“Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
“In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.
Israel Speaks Arrogantly Against God
13 “You have spoken arrogantly against me,” says the Lord.


It never sat well with my spirit and now i know why. I will keep studying my bible on this issue but i think i know where i stand now. I thank God for shinning light on this issue for me today. Let each man be convinced. I know i am already. I feel sooooooooooooooooo liberated...

frosbel2: In the West , just to show you how wicked this doctrine of demons is , Pastors encourage their sheeple to pay UP with credit cards , when they should actually be discouraging them from debt, they encourage them to go deeper into debt to fund their pet projects and exotic life styles.

Many have paid tithes with loans, overdraft etc, to satisfy the needs of a physical building and not real people.

WICKEDNESS , it's all WICKEDNESS.

You are mixing two different things together. Stop being confused. The one you just posted now is pure wickedness and greed from pastors and i am against it. Stop mixing up greed and tithing. They are two different things.

I don't agree with the doctrines of every denomination but one thing is clear, over the past few years those churches that have managed to get their members to oblige their financial responsibilities have grown in leaps and bounds. They are on telly, on billboards, branches on every street, literally in your face with the gospel. Does this take an analytical mathmatecian to decode how this works.

Of course in the western world the church is shrinking for the exact opposite reason, shrinking funding to the church. Now this is good for some who want to see churches close down or turned into pubs or museums but why beat about the bush.

If people want a big house, a big car, a big football club they fund it. If I want a big church why should I sit down and fold my arms, I pay for it.

Tithes and offerings are common sense practices.

But wait o, less I forget. Has your pastor ever told you that you can also eat your tithe? I bet they will not show you scriptures that you can eat the tithe. If tithe is money, how do you eat money, assuming its money Lemme show you that you can eat your tithe, it was crops and animals then, that's why it says eat it.

22“You must set aside a tithe of your crops—one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year. 23Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship—the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to be honored—and eat it there in his presence. This applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn males of your flocks and herds. Doing this will teach you always to fear the Lord your God.

24“Now when the Lord your God blesses you with a good harvest, the place of worship he chooses for his name to be honored might be too far for you to bring the tithe. 25If so, you may sell the tithe portion of your crops and herds, put the money in a pouch, and go to the place the Lord your God has chosen. 26When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want—cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and celebrate with your household. 27And do not neglect the Levites in your town, for they will receive no allotment of land among you.

28“At the end of every third year, bring the entire tithe of that year’s harvest and store it in the nearest town. 29Give it to the Levites, who will receive no allotment of land among you, as well as to the foreigners living among you, the orphans, and the widows in your towns, so they can eat and be satisfied. Then the Lord your God will bless you in all your work. - Deuteronomy 14:22-29

Where is the place the Lord chose to be brought the tithe to - The temple in Israel. The temple was destroyed in 70AD. Today, we Christians, our body is the temple of God where God dwells, no longer in building.

Who are the Levites? The temple workers that assist the priest Aaron. We do not have Levites in the body of Christ anymore. If at all, tithe is to be practiced biblically, it is church workers - choirs, ushers etc that should collect\take it and give tenth part to pastors.

Since, the temple is in Jerusalem and had been destroyed and we are now the temple of God - The verses say, I should eat my tithe converted to money (meaning, it was not originally money) since Jerusalem is too far, I may sell the tithe portion of my crops and herds, put the money in a pouch, and go to the place the Lord your God has chosen. When I arrive, I may use the money to buy any kind of food I want—cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and celebrate with your household. So God must be telling me to use my tithe money to drink ogogoro.... grin But honestly, I don't like ogogoro o so I will just buy me some nice stuff like fish barbecue and celebrate with my household....lo ba tan. cool

frosbel: This Sunday in Church , take your 'Tithes' and Offerings to Church.

When the service gets to the Malachi 3 session, look for anyone around you who has real needs, and give your tithes and offerings to them.

Better still ask the ushers or pastors to ask the following people to come forward :

- Mothers who do not know where the next meal for the family will come from
- Fathers who have lost their Jobs
- Widows who have no husbands
- Orphans who have no parents.
- Students who are barely eating talk less of paying school fees
- Those who wear rags or who have no shoes
- the homeless and destitute.

Do not give it to the ushers or take it to the front of the church , give it to these people, these are GOD's children who have real needs, yes, they are the ones who need your money, your spare clothes and shoes, extra cars etc.

I repeat, do not give a dime to your church or pastor and let us see how they will react !!!!


I doubt if you ever read the bible ie if at all you a christain. You are going against the word of God. Dont let the word of God work against you. You will surely give account of this on the last day.

Stop being a hypocrite bro, you cannot pick one part of the law while rejecting the rest.

Also , you cannot pick one part of the tithe law and reject the rest , this is plain hypocrisy and it is a product of brainwashing.

For example, I am allowed to buy gulder or star with my tithes but people like you who belong the organisations of MEN will call this SIN.

".... Then shalt thou TURN IT INTO MONEY, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt GO unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul LUSTETH after, for oxen, or for sheep, or FOR WINE, or FOR STRONG DRINK, or for whatsoever thy soul DESIRETH: and thou shalt EAT THERE before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household " -- Deut. 14:22-26

Here we can see God's children eating the tithes and even drinking alcolhol.

Ehhmm, I am waiting for your twisted feedback wink

I gave my tithe in church today as i ve always done by God's grace and am happy i did. I cannot be deceived by your useless teachings against tithe. I am not a pastor or a church worker and nothing concerns me how they use the money. It is God that will judge them how they used it. Giving tithe does not stop me from helping the poor. By God's grace I help the poor both in my church and in other churches, the orhanage and non christians. It is part of my life style and i do it however the spirit of God leads me.

Question sir, who are those that were COMMANDED TO TAKE\COLLECT TITHE IN THE BIBLE Levites or Aaron the priest and does such people still function among the ministry gifts in the body of Christ today? Waiting for answer please.

Let me fully quote your last reference to scripture.

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ -
Matthew 25:37-4

So we actually do it to him when we do it to the brethren who are in need, sick, hungry , thirsty or in prison and not for the building of massive mega temples, churches etc , funding pet projects and giving ONE MAN, the Lord Pastor the opportunity to live an exotic and expensive life style.

u got my 1million like on this. You see this is what i'm always trying to let ppl know but they are just carried away by their pastor's brainwashing speech. It is even more a deadly sin for a pastor to spend the tithe alone neglecting the widows, needy, less priviledge etc. How can a pastor who cannot control his greed be the one brainwashing me

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Matthew 23:23

Extract

Who was Jesus talking to? Answer - scribes and Pharisees

Who are these scribes and Pharisees? Answer - hypocrites.

Are these people Christians? Answer - NO

What tithe does these people pay? Answer - of mint and anise and cummin

What is this tithe of mint and anise and cummin based on? Answers - matters of the law

Are Christians still under the law of Moses? Answer - NO

Did Jesus say, "these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone"? Answer - YES! Why, Jesus was still under the law of Moses and had not died to effect the New Covenant. He cannot contradict the law in order to fulfill it. Christ's death and resurrection ENDED the law of Moses. So, the tithe practiced in Matthew 23:23 is still MATTERS OF THE LAW...of Moses. So also is Malachi 3

And you Sing 'Abraham's blessings are mine' right ?
Haven't you read that Abraham was the first to give tithes, was it after the law or before the law?
Don't you know that we have no part in the law of Moses, being gentiles by nature?
Aren't you aware that we are connected to God ONLY through Abraham, Gal 3vs6-9, and not through the law of Moses?
If Abraham gave tithes by faith, having a spiritual understanding way before the law came into existence, we ought also to do the same.
If you give your tithe, as part of the law, that's a massive ignorance! You can as well go ahead and keep the whole law, else you will be under the curse of the law. Gal 3vs10,11.
So my brother, give your tithes by faith as a true seed of Abraham, it is your spiritual act of honor and worship to God, as the source of everything you own.
tithing would not give anyone salvation. Faith in Jesus' sacrifice would. Jesus also emphasized helping your brothers in need. That is what you and those tithe pastors ought to be preaching.

Tithing is not binding on christians, neither is God a casino machine that doubles or tripples the money you give to your church. If you are giving so that God would bless you with more money, that is an epic fail! God loves a cheerful giver.

Stop turning the word of God into a money making business.

THERE IS NO NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIAN THAT IS EVER CURSED FOR NOT TITHING. You know why? Malachi 3 tithing is according to the law of tithing that was established in the Mosaic law carried until the death of Christ. The death and resurrection of Christ put the New Testament into effect and ended curses of the law because Christ himself became the curse...of the law and in exchanged BLESSED EVERY CHRISTIAN IN CHRIST.

New International Version (©1984)
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
New Living Translation (©2007)
But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." - Galatians 3:13

It is often said that the devil knows the Bible more than some christians but he misinterpretes it little wonder he quoted it before tempting Jesus @op you are a devil in sheep clothing,how can you just wake up one morning to twist the word of God?do you really think these pastors rely on your cheap tithe?? How much really do you pay for tithe?? So if you don't pay tithe they won't feed or feed their familiesthe tithe is meant for the daily running of the church e.g payin bills,developing,staff salaries and not for the primary consumption of the pastors.
In some churches the pastors are the riches not because of tithe but because the practice the kingdom investment,so if your pastor is poor and relies on your tithe then he should question the God that called him! Do you know how much prophetic offerings the real pastors receives on a daily basis??your tithe is the last thing they touch my guy.

My pastor for instance has never touched our church's offering or tithe,when ever he honours any invitation anywhere in the world he collect no honorarium and pays his own tickets(business class)so how does your tithe affect a man lie this?

If you pay tithe is for your financial insurance from God and nothing more,the op is a devil's messanger and your christianity is questionable.

The Tithe is not meant for the nonsense reasons you just stated, none of the reasons are in the bible.

And the church is not a physical building or a denomination but the BODY OF CHRIST.


In some churches the pastors are the riches not because of tithe but because the practice the kingdom investment,

I know many rich people who aren't even Christians...

One thing we should ask is, how come Nigeria is such a mess and yet theres a church in every corner.. Surely God should be blessing all of us since we have a lot of churches and pay our tithes.. Go to the middle east, china, etc, very developed, less poverty, and they don't go to church or pay tithes..

P/S ill like to add that one of my contacts in Guangzhou,(China) said that A LOT of his Nigerian friends who couldn't succeed with business in China came back to Nigeria and are now pastors and making a lot of money, and they have been trying to convince him to become a pastor too. lol.

Its amusing watching you all argue over nonsense.. Keep giving the money to those Nigerian guys while they laugh all the way to the bank, and buy new cars and jets.

true talk bro, dont mind the brainwashed tithe paying brethen. helping the poor around u makes more sense than funding the expensive lifestyles of nigerian pastors!!

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.

Now this is what we should be discussing, bro.
We also observed that even Jacob (also before the law), made a promise to give God a tithe if he will lead him on his journey and prosper him and bring him back to his father's land. This journey eventually took over 20years and he indeed was wealthy in sheep and cattle in the end.
It's still unclear how we arrived at tithing on a monthly basis, is it because this dispensation earns income monthly?
