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.

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.

killercute16:
i just checked it nw and it does not state any thing about gambling.

O4A3EM:


read Malachi 3:8-12
that is where tithing is in the Bible and gambling is not money u worked for, its a means to get rich quickly

okotv:
what do you understand about that last verse ?

Humblebloke:


Less privileged people like Bishop Oyedepo

Amusaopeyemi:

Lai Lai.
Those road side beggers, motherless babies and widows.
I don't take my tithe to church o. I don't even go to church sef.

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.

killercute16:
The last verse which is the 5th verses said[b]"They make loans without charging interest and cannot be bribed to testify against the innocent.
Whoever does these things will always be secure"[/b]....Qouting from "Today's English version"

PastorKun:


Another ignorant person that knows next to nothing about tithes

Gombs:



Olodo rabata!

answer the question or sharaaaaaaap

Jeromejnr:

So let's look at Hebrews 6:20 & 7:2 (look at the gar used there.

First in verse 20- The writer says Jesus has been made a high priest after the same order of Melchizedek.

Then in 7:2 The writer says to whom Also Abraham paid his tithes to him that was just like Jesus is know now.

The Emphasis is on the word "ALSO".
Why will he use the world "also". Well because they were already paying tithes to Jesus who is in that same order. So he used something they could relate to.

Jeromejnr:
Tithing wasn't described as the weak and unprofitable because it is of free will which if you don't participate in would not enjoy the benefits. But the ordinances that had to be kept by force (washing of hands, animal sacrifices.e.t.c) That was what was abolished. Because if u didn't do them then judgement was expected.

Jeromejnr:
Just the same way it was advised to women by Paul to always cover their hairs because of their past traditions. That doesn't mean if they don't do it, its a sin.

And which church do you go to sef. So I will see if I'm wasting my time talking. Is it JW?

okotv:
again I ask, what do you understand by that ?

mifavour:


which church do u go to

mifavour:


which church do u go to

mifavour:


tithe is not giving to the less privileged. Malachi 3:10

mikkyword:


given to the less privileged is not tithing, it has No correlation with tithing @all.

Gombs:

Read bible, you no go gree. ;Dvo

Although the words "gambling" and "gamble" do not appear in the Bible, we cannot assume that an activity is not a sin simply because it is not mentioned.
e
The Bible does not specifically condemn gambling, betting, or lottery. The Bible does warn us, however, to stay away from the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10;Hebrews 13:5). Scripture also encourages us to stay away from attempts to “get rich quick” (Proverbs 13:11;23:5;Ecclesiastes 5:10). Gambling most definitely is focused on the love of money and undeniably tempts people with the promise of quick and easy riches.

OP, quit gambling...it breeds greed and hatred, desperation and frustration. Get a decent way of earning money, and pay your tithe accordingly. Forget the man above me, he's got issues you'd not understand in 3 years time.
