Joagbaje:
Same thing with every other bible principle. Principles are eternal. Tithes o, offerings o, prayers o, fasting o. Etc and etc. we give offerings today because it's a principle.

Joagbaje:
Men gave tithes of all things . And all things represents all income.

We may not have all the details and that's where guys try to jump on. But certain scriptures still reveal the structure .

Luke 18:12 WEB
I fast twice a week. I[b] give tithes of all that I get[/b]. '

Luke 18:12 amplified
I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I gain.

Luke 18:12. Living bible
I go without food twice a week, and I give to God a tenth of everything I earn. '

So people gave monetary tithes.

Message translation makes it clearer

Luke 18:12
I fast twice a week and tithe on all my income. '

Joagbaje:
God used such term for isreal because they were farmers by default .

Zikkyy:

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.

Zikkyy:

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.

Leviticus 27:31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

Mark Miwerds:
Farmers had to have had some form of money with which to redeem (buy back) the crop tithe if they so desired.

Zikkyy:

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).

Zikkyy:
Money was not given as tithe, money was used to redeem the tithe. Joagbaje, you must be reading literature or publications written by your pastor,

if you read the bible, you will find that money was never given as tithe.

julietjuks: 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.

I salute all the people dedicated to engaging people on the tithe issue. You guys really have the patience.
In the words of R. W shambach, 'A man with an experience is never at the mercy of the opinions of others'.
Paraphrased, 'you can not talk people out of what has been working for them.'

Demain_man:

Even Jesus paid TAX with money so why you are asking us to pay TAX with farmer produce beats me.

christemmbassey: bros, d fact , if tithe ever worked, christians will b d riches ppl. Bill Gate and Dangote are nt christians, d only ppl dat tithe work for, are d tithe collectors.

Joagbaje:

What of prayers does it work? If it does ,are Christians the richest people?

Demain_man:

Do you pray to become the richest person?
"

Joagbaje:

Beautiful ! Do people tithe to become richest persons?

You can see the senselessness of the question about if tithers are the richest people. Is Dangote is a Muslim does it make Christianity false?

Joagbaje:

You can see the senselessness of the question about if tithers are the richest people. If Dangote is a Muslim does it make Christianity false? So bringing dangote and bill gate to discredit tithe is childish . Rather go for the big fish and discredit Christianity .

christemmbassey: bros, prayer and tithe are nt d same, prayer is like charging ur phone,

tithe is coveting ur neighbours salaries, in short it is armed robcery, d word u use to intimidate ppl, d bible says, is sharper than two edged sword. So, when u hold somebody by d neck with mal3 u are actually commiting a crime(sin) armed robbery.
