abbeylincon: I didn't pay tithe when I was in UI throughout, bcox I was of the opinion that tithe payment apply †̥ those that work alone, eventhough in my campus fellowship some students still paid tithe but I stuck †̥ my conviction, but didn't know if am right or not anyway!

kevoh: How about concentrating on how to get a first class degree through hardwork rather than bother yourself with tithe issues.

Let me tell you something if you like pay more than 50% as tithes if you don't work hard NOTHING for you. It is written ' Heaven help those who help themselves' .

tejpot: Can you point to me in your scripture where tithe, fornication and murder are in the same class. Cos I refuse to believe any form of biblical interpretations that sweet talk alone.

Valto: so people don mumu reach to even pay tithe on their school fees... how then are u going to complete it and pay the school fees tithing have no place for a christian that knows his bible very well...God is no money doubler, and the death of our lord jesus on the cross freed us from (mosiac law) tithing! help the poor around u and God will richly bless u.

Christians are to obey the 10 commandment and one of them is THOU SHALL NOT STEAL , we also have THOU SHALL NOT KILL and so on

FORNICATION , MURDER , STEALING and so on are all in thesame class of sin . SIN IS SIN AND THERE IS NOTHING LIKE SMALL OR BIG SIN

Not paying tithe is NOT A SIN in-as-much as your mind is not judging you

To pay tithe is the best because giving to God will surely bring favour and close way for evil

Paying tithe from money received via fraudulent means is a waste of time because such person cannot and will not receive any favour from God instead such person is asking for Gods curse

The tithe we pay is not for any pastor or prophet its for God alone so even if the pastor spend it on private jet and co , its not for you to judge , leave it to God to fight the matter himself also one should pay tithe to only a bible believing church and not any how church

All the days I spent in the university I did not pay tithe for a single day not because I don't know I was suppose to pay but because I new I will not be faithful to be paying always. NOW BY THE GRACE OF GOD I AM FAITHFUL WITH IT AND MAY GOD HELP ALL THOSE OF US PAYING TITHE

Pastor Kun:

Christians are not under any obligation to tithe in the first instance talkless of a student. The way tithes is preached today is at best a fraudulent manipulation of scripture. You may wish to read deut 14:22-29 to learn more about how God defined his tithes and compare to the version preached in churches today. That aside tithing was brought to an end for new covenant christians, you may wish to read Hebrews 7:5-19 in context and you would see were tithing was brought to and end for believers. special emphasis should be put on verse 5,11,12 & 18 when reading that scripture to get the message. God bless you as you read.

capricon: I'm a christian though not the dogmatic type but I feel even the most faithful bible reading Christians have been soo brainwashed that they don't know what they are reading or simply just ignore it. Well to some extent I wouldn't blame them because the bible is full of contradictions. To be a true christian, i believe one must refer to the old testament for historical purposes only and follow the teachings of Christ in the new testament. Therefore Tithing has no place in Christianity only voluntary giving. It is obvious that pastors will emphasize on the old testament tithes to boost revenue. But even the old testament tithes require that we make a feast with the 10 percent of our earnings and only give our 10 percent to the church once every 3 years but bear in mind that there are several other prescribed ways of tithe giving in the old testament. In conclusion I will like to appeal to Christians to follow the new testament and forget Judaism as in old testament.

Bidam: You are saying God's word is fraud abi?

jinkees: The tru meaning of christianity is being like Christ when he was on earth I have searched the entire bible and I neva saw where Jesus Christ. Instructed us to pay tithe nor his apostles. But the way dis pastors stress on the issue like if u dnt pay ur tithe u wld be dammed. Even a friend of mine tht does runs brags tht she pays her tithe so nobody can bring her down.

black_beau: See question. If yo are a christian @ poster,then go read the bible. There's no place where you'll find that students are exempted from tithing.

frank3.16:


I have observed all arguments concernt the bible and even comparing d bible wit other holy books and I must agree that all sides of the arguements makes sense, this is also sayin that they could all be wrong.

But have u ever imagined... If the bible or koran was from a devine being, would there room for arguement? I mean, why will almighty God send us a message that is subject to arguement? Who are we humans to interprete the word of God in our own way and still make sense to an extent? Is Gods instruction not supposed to defeat and overshadow all that? Imagine that even human constitution is clear to all who read it, how much more Gods.
Pls understand that these areguements do not arise from the fact that humans chose not to understnd and interprete it for their own gain but because every individual is different from the other and therefore perception would differ in interpreting such an unclear cut book. Didn't u think God would hav already understood the difference in perception bfore issuing these instruction?
Ok, if he knew that humans have different perecptual abilities yet he sent his instruction then he shouldn't hold anybody accountable for his own understanding.
