Bidam:
The levitical priesthood and the ordinances were [i]CHANGED TO MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD.THE LAWS WERE CHANGED NOT CANCELLED,

Zikkyy:

16 who has come, not according to the law of a FLESHLY COMMANDMENT (e.g. TITHE COMMANDMENT), but according to the power of an endless life.

Zikkyy:

can you post the revised law here for us to read? Please

Alwaystrue:
Numbers 3:5-12
5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel INSTEAD of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine


Numbers 18:6-7
6 Behold, I Myself have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel; they are a gift to you, given by the Lord, to do the work of the tabernacle of meeting.
7 Therefore you and your sons with you shall attend to your priesthood for everything at the altar and behind the veil; and you shall serve. I give your PRIESTHOOD to you as a gift for service, but the outsider who comes near shall be put to death.

Levites MADE without an oath but Christ Made with an oath....A priest from the tribe of Judah not of the Levite that Moses spoke of...

Hebrews 7:20-21
20 And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath 21 (for they have BECOME priests WITHOUT an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn And will not relent, ‘You are a priest 6forever According to the order of Melchizedek’ ” ),

He who has ears will hear.

I Corinthians 9:13-14....In the same way hath the Lord commanded....

Abraham paid tithe. Under which law was he because you peopLe are talkIng about mosaic law? Did the Mosaic law come into operation during the time of Abraham?

alexleo:
Now in the place we read, Abraham paid his tenth to a priest whose priesthood was not in the order of Levi. (Read verse 8 ). Now was it the law that required Abraham to give tithe to Melchizedec who was not of the descendant of Levi? NO. Was Abraham condemned for paying a tenth to someone who was not from the descendant of Levi as required by the law? NO. So why are you condemning other[/b]s......

alexleo:
So why are you condemning others who are giving their tenth to [b]Christ whose priesthood is same as that of Melchizedec?

alexleo:
So why are you condemning others who are giving their tenth to Christ whose priesthood is same as that of Melchizedec? Calling them thieves and all sorts of bad names? If you are against the craze for money which has taken over the church that's a different thing. But when you condemn a tither for simply doing what he saw in the scripture then that's not fair.

christemmbassey:
@Bidam, Ola, Jo, Alex Gombs, Oliver twist etc, are you paying/collecting tithe according to Abraham or law, pls make up ur mind and let rap up this dancing arround. Melchi or levite tithe, which one? God bless.

Zikkyy:

Pastors game plan (now adopted by tithers to defend the tithe fraud):

Attack: play Malachi 3
Midfield: Combine Paul (1 Cor.) and Matthew 23
Defender: Play Abbie in defence
Goalkeeping: use the brainwashed sheep
Coach: Pastor

Bidam:
The fleshy commandments na laws of levite no be tithe.We tithe by FAITH IN THE NEW COVENANT.

Bidam: You know na..one of them is your tithes and offerings to your local assembly where you get spiritual nourishment from..You don dey rob God tay tay no be today

Alwaystrue: Malachi 3:8
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In TITHES AND OFFERINGS

Funny how people see nothing wrong with giving their offerings in church and believe they are giving it to God but feel the Tithe is going to man.
Really we now understand what the bible says about Faith.

They have faith to give offerings to God but cannot undertstand how the tithe is also for God. Yet God said TITHES and OFFERINGS. Without faith it is truly impossible to please God.

The goal is to first give ourselves to God and then we can give God anything but it is hypocritical to believe our 100% belongs to God but 'strain at a gnat' on giving out of it. The Lord knows those that are His.

Zikkyy:

The fleshy commandment include the command to collect tithe. It is part of the laws of levite.

Bidam: Add Baba GOD as the referee... [i]

Verse 6-8 of the Hebrew 7. -

6 This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7 And without doubt the lesser person is blessed by the greater. 8 In the one case, the tenth is collected by men who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.

Now in the place we read, Abraham paid his tenth to a priest whose priesthood was not in the order of Levi. (Read verse 8 ). Now was it the law that required Abraham to give tithe to Melchizedec who was not of the descendant of Levi? NO. Was Abraham condemned for paying a tenth to someone who was not from the descendant of Levi as required by the law? NO.

Pastor Kun:

Most of us that teach the truth about tithes were once tithers as we were also deceived to believe this false doctrine until we studied scriptures for ourselves, we also still have many tithers around us and we can testify that tithing does not work. if it works we would all be practising it without this need for back and forth argument.

Did Abraham pay tithe to Melchisedec (whose priesthood wasn't in the order of the levites) according to the law? Pls show me. Was there a law from God that mandated him to do that? Pls show me. And if there was no law, was he condemned for doing that outside what the law said? Pls show me where it is in the scripture. If he wasn't condemned, why should you condemn those who are paying their tenth to christ whose priesthood is also in the order of Melchizedec?

Goshen360:
I endorse this message. In fact, I get increase in my hourly pay without tithing. I have two jobs, both with paid insurance, vacation, sick leaves, medical, if I loose, God forbid, any of my immediate family, I get compensation, lots of benefits, drive Chevy cruise 2013 brand new etc all the grace of God of undeserved favor on me. Yet, I'm yet to witness any devourer, neither am I sick nor any of my family. It's all because of the grace of God, glory to God.

Ediss: I want to learn how to pay my tithe. I payed my very long ago God forgive me

God2man: I am very sad about this forum. I registered 2011, if i am not mistaken, there are over 100 threads on only one topic, TITHE, it is disheartening with the way they called old men of God that are old enough to be their fathers , thieves, fraudster, and that they are teaching nonsense, the Bible says, we should respect elders, there is no courtesy,a good christian must have the fruit of the spirit, up till now, i keep asking, are they Christians or Atheist? Because a good christian will not call old men of God thieves, it is not possibe, but this is in the dictionary of Anti-tithers. It is what you respect that comes into your life, if you want to grow old, you should respect your elders in the Christiandom, they are not Jesus, but they are the respresentatives of God on earth

There are more than enough topics in the Bible, i beg all of them to stop this overflogged, overdebated, tithe issue on nairaland, in fact, the moderators should delete any topic on Tithe, it is a bad thing for this forum to fight against what the whole churches in Nigeria stood for, i mean paying of tithe, i understand that some churches may not preach about tithe, one thing is sure, they will NEVER stop anybody from paying tithe to them. They will accept it, directly or indirectly.

The question is why are people so desperate to stop tithing from all churches, this is an exercise in futility, a waste of time, an insult to Nigerian churches, and it is like they are playing on our inteligence.

You can deceive one person at a time, but it is difficult to deceive everybody at the same time. If you think that you are smart and you know Bible, i think as a wise person, you should know that other people are smart, wise, intelligent and have a great knowledge about the Bible.

This is the scenario, i believe a smart person that comes to this forum with his theology will take a great disposition and humble himself to listen to opposing view, but this is not the case on nairalan, they will insult you, call you names and make you to hate the forum.

The owner of the forum may think this argument is favourable to him, but he has forgotten that what goes round comes around, it is counterproductive, very soon people will not like to visit this forum again.

Anti-tithers on nairaland have been adopting different strategies to achieve their aims.

1. They used different ID's

2. They twist the scripture.

3. When they lost the arguement, they will result to insult.

4. They are very cunny.


A word is enough for the wise.

God bless all my brethren on this forum.

God2man.
