Sad but true.
I stopped attending RCCG[b] when they started broadcasting people's names on their projector screen in line with tithe records.
They did so to someone I know simply because they wanted to clarify the figure on the cheque in the said envelope for a particular month simply because it differed from what she usually gave.

But when this same lady had earlier undergone a surgery no one asked any questions or showed sympathy. Just collecting tithe from people without taking any concerted effort to know the givers.

What matters to the d 21st century church most (ie Money ),mattered little to the early church.Rmber Paul's warning that wolves have crept into the church.

Skipuru:
tithes belongs to God he should and request to God not the church or the pastor?

JUBILEE2000:


Wao!!! am speechless at the bolded. i didnt know it is this bad!!! well, Mathew 6:24 said it all...Am comforted by the revival that will sweep across the church very soon and God will open many eyes!!! Mark my words, it will get to the point that a female church member who the pastor has been slepin with will get up n slap him saying "i didnt know you were leading me to eternal destruction". People will give to God out of love for Him and not out of what they have been made to belive they will get from Him; people will be earger to go to fellowship bc it will be a time of true refreshing and renewal of strenght in His presence and NOT the entertainments we have these days as church services(you can imagine churches inviting comedians to mount the "alter" to entertain brethren), dry sermons and wealth summits.God will surely deliver us as a church from misplaced priorities!!!

StarBoard:

I like the last part.
They make the "church" as it were to be about razzmatazz and pizzazz without puting the focus on Jesus.
Someone on this thread is adversely canvassing for us to copy Abraham's example, rather than that of Jesus who is supposed to be the author and finisher of our faith only in the area of paying tithe. You point out why Abraham cannot be who you model your Christian fsith about and he starts telling you that no man is perfect. So why copy an imperfect example who no longer lives when we have a perfect living master who is above reproach?
Unfortunately these are the shallow minds that these men of themselves breed in abundance so as to continue with their scams. people who cannot be bothered to search through the scriptures and put things together to decipher what God says in his word. So many lazy souls who do not desire to knowvthe depth of God's word but rather depend on what these pastors say.
I could fill you with stories about RCCG and how they do their things. But let God be the judge.

PastorKun:


Go and get your facts right, there is absolutely no where in the bible God promised believers financial prosperity if they tithe of their income to the churc0h. It is dishonest preachers that twists God's holy words to say so. That said, preachers that mount the pulpit would be found culpable since they won't be able to show from the bible that God promised anybody financial prosperity for paying tithes if charged to court.

MissGdope:


Ok oo. I still stand my what i've said previously. If u wanna remain blind to the truth then that's ur problem cos all what u just said is weak and foolish. The battle is for God. He doesn't need men to fight his battles. This mentality is what is causing all these bloodshed in Nigeria cos pple feel they're helping God. It's madness. I have spoken!
One day we shall all know the truth. Don't quote me again

PastorKun:


Stop this nonsense, is it God that comes down to c0ollect the tithe or the c0hurch / greedy pastors Are the pastors not at liberty to utilise the tithes as they deem fit? Would it be out of order if the pastor uses church collections to help a church member in need?

namdo:
majority are so gullible, Jesus even criticized the pharisees and Sadducee for 'overlooking the weightier matters of the law', while they possibly concentrated on law of thithes in those days.

asalimpo:


is it God tht comes down to accept ur offering?
Or u dont give offering.

JUBILEE2000:


WRONG!!!! Heaven has no recognition for denominations

PastorKun:


There is nothing sacred about church tithing. Tithing as it is preached and practised today is derived from fraudulently twisting biblical tithes instructed to the Jews and mis applying it to the church. There is not one single scripture in the whole bible instructing believers to tithe money from their income. Tithing from income is derived from twisting God's word and we all know it is a sin to twist God's word.

VenusBetty:
what about prayers that's being directed to the Jews, why do we claim them. If we can't claim instructions given to them on tithing.

d3lko2i:


If it's true, then it's unfortunate!

But there are (at least) two sides to every story, and we haven't heard the side of the church

VenusBetty:
thank God a reasonable person is here, I'm not saying what the Church has done is right, I don't really know what happend, but we all should be mindful of what you say about Pastors. You didn't ordain them, God did. The bible say we should believe them, Christians beware o.

Cheny:

YOU can't be more correct.It's a pity that 'pastor worship ' and materialism has become the order of the day. When someone speaks against such evils u are seen as the odd one out. These 'god of their belly' pastors are so much and there is even a cold war btw them for members.

PastorKun:

You claim them because your pastor probably misled you into claiming them. I don't claim either of them. I am satisfied with my faith in Christ Jesus who is interceding for us all before the father.

Goshen360:


Every Christian is ordained ma and it's called "holy and set apart". The church has misled us for too long and we're standing to the truth of the gospel. There's no special ordinations and no special calling in Christ, but each one is "sent" to an assignment in the body, not ordained.

JUBILEE2000:

Cheny:

You are among the few Who can discern the times. Keep it up as one with God is what counts,the multitude can't be relied upon in spiritual matters, just check history. Lest I 4get,stick to ur signature cos it is priceless.

PastorKun:
However, he claims the one place where he expected to find help turned a blind eye on his predicament and his pleas for help fell on deaf ears.

He has decided to move to a new church...

You are the one who remains blinded and ignorant. I have butressed all my statements with quotes from the bible while you are yet to even quote one verse to butress yours. U can think whatever you wish but dont come here to spew trash wen u have little or no knowledge about a topic or even d bible. OLODO!

Erastus Akingbola paid tithe to Daddy G.O. despite stealing N200 billion.

And the so called G.O. collected it. Not minding the source of the tithe. Same from Cecilia Ibru.

Now Akingbola is in detention. "Daddy G.O" has moved on to prey on the next donor, not minding where it came from.

My point:

Paying tithe will not save you. If it could, the God we serve will rebuke the devourer for your sake. Or no be the scripture una dey always quote?
How come the devourer had not been rebuked on Akingbola's behalf despite being a heavy donor?How come he is chilling in jail while his stolen property is being auctioned? Or maybe that does not fall in the category of devourer?
Or what happened to the windows of heaven that these ninnies slways quote from Malachi 3:10.? How come Akingbola is not under the "open heavens" despite paying hefty tithe? Im sure the criminal is asking himself these questions as he cools off in prison.

im not even going to the sheer points of this issue that raise serious integrity issues on "Daddy G.O." .
How he sccepted stolen money,failed to verify the source, and now that he knows it was stolen, whether he returned the said money donated by a thief.

There is a reason why God detest giving what doesn't belong to you including tithes. But apparently the so-called proponents of "Abraham tithed before the law" are either too dull or too corrupt to know that that particular episode cannot and will not be used as a standard for the said "tithing", even if they haul insults from now till kingdom come.
