brocab:
When you think about it, tithing is a gamble, most tithers give a weekly 10%, then start praying to God for a 100 fold to be returned back to them.
And every week, one don't receive, every week they give it another go.

Its like playing the lottery-you got to be in it, to win it.

In Malachi 3:8-12 bring all tithes into the storehouse.
But its a shame, still to this day, tithers are disobeying the law on tithing.

God said: bring your crops, shocks, food, merchants to the storehouse, so the poor the lame will be fed.

But you tithers are doing the opposite, you are bringing money to the store house.
And there's no law, given to anybody, in bible scripture to tithe with money.

I have noticed from your posts that you are a very strong anti-tithing agent.

Maybe if you dig into the word of God more with the help of the Spirit you will see it is also for us today.
Read Hebrews chapter 6, 7 and 8. Especially chapter 7 with an open mind. And do not be doubting but believe. It was even talked on extensively.

Abraham paid tithes 500 years before the law came and Isaac 250 years before the Law came. And according to Hebrews we are in d same order as when Abraham paid tithe to the one whom nobody knows much of. It is also stated the Levi's who came later on in the law also paid tithe to that mysterious king through Abraham.

Hebrews 7:8. Here Jesus who is testified to be alive receives our tithes as when Melchizedek received Abraham's tithe.

The old is a shadow of the new. As it says so in Colossians 2:17.

i typed rubbish n u commented on d rubbish? me n u who dy do rubbish? dis is a faceless forum doesnt me u will talk to pple anyhw.Mind d way u address pple.

Jeromejnr:


Oga! Stop deceiving yourself. Did u even study that Hebrews 7. Tithe was paid to Levi's when d law came but the scripture also says those same Levi's paid tithe to Melchizedek through Abraham. Melchizedek is a king and also a priest and so is Jesus.
See what God says in Isaiah 51:1&2. Telling us to follow Abraham's example.

And as for saying if pastors are Levites. You need spiritual understanding mehn and stop using your carnal brain to try to understand spiritual truths.

It shows how you even view the house of God. You don't see God as really being there all you just see is your pastor that wants to steal your tithe. Don't you know as you give it he's actually there receiving tithe.

We are not in the law so there are no Levites. But the pastors now stand in for Jesus. Because you can't see Him physically although He's there in the Spirit.

Jesus is the High priest of the new covenant.
There's more to tell you but my hand don tire abeg. Go and study your bible.

What kind of Bible do u use? Is it the Jehovah's Witnesse's Version?

LaPink:


My dear, unless you are a farmer, herdsman or anything of dat sort? What do you use to purchase food or merchandise?? Is it not d same money we are talking about. Tithe is a percentage of your INCREASE and in this day and age, d yardstick is money. So i guess we are right in paying tithes with money.

starlingbawa:
I was thought in Sunday school that such things/behaviours are wrong. That's the much I can say.

Preciousjoz:
okay, if you think we should tithe, why not do it exactly how was done in the days of the old?

meshacha1:
If Jesus Christ chase ppl gambling in the temple should tell you gambling is a sin.
So, then paying tithe will be an abomination.

JUBILEE2000:


Did Jesus receive tithe while on earth? Did Paul or any of the Apostles preach tithe? Where in scriptures is money required ad tithe? The Hebrews u are referring to is where tithe was actually annulled. Tithe in Christianity is a scam pure and simple

Jeromejnr:


When Jesus was on earth had He received the title of the High Priest of the new covenant?

Did that Hebrews 7 actually annull tithing or was showing us an example wherein we are to follow?

What does it mean to be in the same order of something?

Quote scriptures to back up your claims and not assumptions of men (which is most of the time based on greed and lusts).

PastorKun:


That's rich coming from you who worships at a church were mamon is worshipped. The verse above you quoted warning against love of money was directed to preachers (like oyaks) who use the gospel too make money.

Whilst personally I don't indulge in gambling or encourage it, it would be wrong of me or anyone for that matter to preach it's a sin because there is no were in scripture it's implied or stated so. Labelling it a sin is in itself adding to scriptures and that is clearly a sin.

Pastorkun.....Read MAttew 3:10-11 to know more about tithe.

Heb 7
1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. 4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. 5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: 6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. 7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. 8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far month



















re evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. 17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. 19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a
better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. 20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: 21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec 22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue






































by reason of death: 24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable


priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
