Joagbaje: BTW, how come burnt offering, cereal offering, sin offering, guilt offering are not eternal principles. are you saying they not offerings? offering is offering na (irrespective of the form). If offerings are eternal principle, burnt offering should be topping the list cos it was the main offering. You see why the term 'first fruit' cannot be an eternal principle, It was just a type of offering. You need to revisit this ya theory o! |

Joagbaje: So this na your role model? you are expected to follow Jesus, not some guy bragging bout his performance. who send the guy to pay tithe of cash self? my brother you don miss road how you even translate income/gain/earnings to cash i don't understand. i thought you said the Israelite were farmers by default?

Mark Miwerds: they're only farmers when it fits Joagbaje's theology. Don't mind joagbaje, a farmer's income/gain/earnings would be his harvest and tithe was on harvest. i still don't understand how joagbaje managed to import cash into the equation. |
Re: Tithes And Offerings Are Eternal Principles by MarkMiwerds(m): 4:45pm On Oct 29, 2013 |
Zikkyy:Farmers had to have had some form of money with which to redeem (buy back) the crop tithe if they so desired. Leviticus 27:31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. But money was never tithed. |
Re: Tithes And Offerings Are Eternal Principles by Zikkyy(m): 4:55pm On Oct 29, 2013 |
Mark Miwerds: yes. am sure a portion of the harvest is sold to purchase other necessities. but God was never interested in the income from sales of Agric produce. Tithe was always on the harvest (before it is sold). 1 Like |

Zikkyy:Agreed. The tithe could be redeemed. (bought back) In order for one to "buy back" something, that something would have to leave one's possession. The farmer could not "buy back" the tithe unless it had already left his possession. One does not walk into a bookstore with a rare book and tell the shopkeeper, "I'd like to buy back this book, please." That is, unless he had first given the book to the shopkeeper, or sold it first to the shopkeeper. Then, and only then, could the book be "bought back." The crops tithe was the same. The farmer could not shirk the responsibility to tithe his crops. He had to tithe. Then, and only then, was he able to "buy back" the tithe if he so desired. |

Zikkyy: Stop making reference to my pastor , limit discussion to points I raised. My reference is the bible . if you read the bible, you will find that money was never given as tithe. I have given evidence money was used as tithes . |
Re: Tithes And Offerings Are Eternal Principles by MarkMiwerds(m): 5:54pm On Oct 30, 2013 |
Joagbaje, You claim Luke 18:12 proves that money was tithed. Luke 18:9 proves it wasn't. Luke 18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: The verse you referenced was a parable. It never happened. It was an illustration to show the self-righteous that trusted in themselves, that they were lost. The Pharisee of the story did not tithe money. This is evident by the fact that at that time, they were under the dispensation of the Law. He would have tithed what the Law required... crops and livestock, to the Levites as per the Law. |

Why is tithing with money a major problem. Why are people so shortsighted and stereotyped.in those days,the Jews had their currency and commodity was the currency for trade or other financial transaction. The world has changed now. Its no more 2000 years ago HELLO!!!!!!!! The financial system and medium of exchange backed by law has evolved. Money note has become the order of the day. Why don't you tax today with commodity items or pay the doctor with same. Guys you went to school for a reason so see the answers are before you gentle men. |

It baffles me that some "pastors" do not look disappointed to find no examples or instructions to tithe in the New Testament, but find a way to persuade the unlearned that the Lord Jesus actually endorsed tithing in Matthew 23:23, where he says, "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." They point to the last clause: "not to leave the other undone", and interpret that we "ought" not to leave the tithing undone. A closer look into this statement will reveal the clear untruth. Point 1: CHRIST WAS ADDRESSING THE PHARISEES AND HYPOCRITES, WHOM HE HAD GRANTED A WOE Point 2: THE PHARISEES WERE ALREADY TITHING, THEREFORE, HE COULD NOT TOLD THEM THEY OUGHT TO TITHE Point 3: THEY WERE STILL UNDER THE LAW WHICH HAD NOT BEEN FULFILLED THEN BECAUSE CHRIST HAD NOT BEEN CRUCIFIED 1 Like |

Demain_man: Beautiful ! Do people tithe to become richest persons? You can see the senselessness of the question about if tithers are the richest people.

Joagbaje: Why do you guys 'Men is suits' curse non-tithers in the church every sunday sir? Do you ever curse non-prayers like that? You see the desperation in your argument? Jesus said there are weightier things than tithing yet you curse people and call them robbers and claim that they will go to hell fire because they don't tithe!! Pls rain abuses and curses on non-prayers with the same zeal you use on non-tither, you hear? SMH for your case. You are forcing people to do that which Jesus Christ who you claim to serve never did and you come here comparing it with PRAYER which he was always doing. 4 Likes |
