jdilight: Any christian that has benefitted immensely from God for paying his or her tithe will continue to pay tithe. Those that say the Pastors are stealing from christians shouls stay clear of paying it. U r hanging on to the grace of God? Bible says " shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound?" Tithe is use for the expansion of the work of God , paying salaries of Pastors, drummers,church administrators etc Nobody is forcing u to pay tithe biko, when u pay ur tithe n turn around to seek what the money has been used for, my friend you won't benefit from that |

Whenever dubious pastors want to justify tithing, they go back to the old testament laws that God gave the israelites. If its true that christians must tithe in accordance with the old testament, then we should also stone women who commit adultery cos that's what the old testament says. We don't live by those laws again so tithing is not compulsary. 11 Likes |

Aringon:have u asked urself why a pastor would have customised cars,jets and live an exorbitant lifestyle with tithe money while some members of his church are in abject poverty. 1.How many customised donkeys did Christ have? 2.Was Christ ever mentioned in d Bible to own anything of value? 3.Was Christ ever mentioned in d Bible to seek pleasures of dis world?

Any person that says tithing is unchristian is an advocate of the devil. Pastors are not 9 to 5 workers, they got bills to pay, from wia do u expect them to get money? God is watching 2 Likes |

I like d way u started by referring to mechisedek the high priest.of interest here is that d person who collected tithe first was a priest of unknown genealogy.in law of moses those authorize too were d priest from d tribe Levi...not king,Judges,chieftain,nor any prominent personnel were given chances to to receive tithe. d tribe of Levi did have a share of land from d promised land other tribes did have shares but not Levi. another fact is that this tribe of Levi does no other task,profession or job apart from temple services l.e they can't run businesses,become doctor,warriors,king, and none of their children can't go for training apart from temple services training' since today we don't need a human high priest because Jesus is our spiritual high priest in d manner of Melchizedek, and much more today those who collect tithe runs private business,their children took up best university and proffesion being financed by d tithe of pastor followers .we don't have a earthly temple where there are holy place and most holy place again in which d high priest enter once in. a year because Christ has become d end of d law convenant 3 Likes |

In as much as I do not like talking about religion, I will just have to chip in. Like I always tell people, go with your heart, and your belief... if you do not believe in tithes, then do not pay, I believe no one can be forced to do what they don't want to do... I will just advise against blasphemies and running of mouths anyhow. I believe whatever it is you put your faith in will work for you. I tithe, and ever since I started, a lot of things have worked for me, that's not to say there won't be challenges, or that everything will always be fine. If you believe giving a tenth of your possession to the needy is what works for you, please go ahead. I am a giver as well. I do not concern myself with which pastor uses a private jet or a private space ship. I am sure not paying my tithe would not make them go broke. What I focus on is me, I want to be rich, and I am not concerned with how someone else makes his riches....i have seen people who place their beliefs in works of arts or sculptures, and they say it has worked for them. religion is a place where anything shouldn't be forced on anyone.... just do what you think is best for you and works for you. whatever you put your faith in, will surely work for you. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I thank God I have the Bible, not a pastor, for a guide. This tithe matter is clear in Scriptures. People are simply too lazy to search the Scriptures. As long as Jesus, Apostle Paul, Peter, James and others didn't advocate tithing, I place no value on it. Whoever wants to continue paying their tithes can continue to do. But let them know there is no curse on whoever doesn't tithe. Tithe isn't among the weightier matters of the law. Today na Sunday. I rest my case. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Non of the posts has convincing biblical establishment of tithing. But that is not the problem. I will support giving to the church and contributions of all kinds and support for the church. But the abuse and twisting that fraudster church leaders have adopted to extort and impoverish their congregation, especially through tithe, is discouraging. The tithe collected, we all no, obviously, in most cases is for the personal use and flamboyant living of the pastors, not for the Propergating of the gospel as they claim. How do you explain numerous private jets, private security agents, fleet of exotic cars, jeep. So sad. 7 Likes |

Poster, why are u not talking about the part of the bible below. U choose the one that favour u as a pastor and leave all other laws. Deuteronomy 14:22-29 Put on one side a tenth of all the increase of your seed, produced year by year. And make a feast before the Lord your God, in the place which is to be marked out, where his name will be for ever, of the tenth part of your grain and your wine and your oil, and the first births of your herds and your flocks; so that you may have the fear of the Lord your God in your hearts at all times. And if the way is so long that you are not able to take these things to the place marked out by the Lord your God for his name, when he has given you his blessing, because it is far away from you; Then let these things be exchanged for money, and, taking the money in your hand, go to the place marked out by the Lord your God for himself; And with the money get whatever you have a desire for, oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your soul's desire may be: and make a feast there before the Lord your God, and be glad, you and all your house; And give a thought to the Levite who is living among you, for he has no part or heritage in the land. At the end of every three years take a tenth part of all your increase for that year, and put it in store inside your walls: And the Levite, because he has no part or heritage in the land, and the man from a strange country, and the child who has no father, and the widow, who are living among you, will come and take food and have enough; and so the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do. 4 Likes |

I don't care what anybody has to say,all I know is tithe is very good in the life of every christans ,I too do pay my tithe(though only when I come across 'awoof' money;as I am always greedy to part with a dime from my own money,am begging the holy spirit to help me stop this spirit of greed)my fellow brethren I want to make a plead 'please always pay your tithe regularly' it provoke God to bless you abundantly |

Is either you don't understand the English language used in the translation of the Bible or the Bible its self. Yes, you might be able to write and read fluently, yet could not understand properly. |
