So why should I?

Who is forcing u? Na ur money.

google it na bro

You should TO FULFIL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS

Lawd... Some people can be so ignorant... Hw can God giv tithe to himself..

Op, are u ok @all

give to ceaser and give to God, why did Jesus say that

One it is your money.

Two; Jesus said his disciples were free from fasting just because he was with them. You now expect JESUS to pay tithe?

Three; what does giving to caesar what is caesar's and givng to God what is God's mean.

Four; the Jews were told since the old testament to pay tithe that means they carried the tradition down to even the time of Jesus and for the jews, the commands of God is the law and Christ said I have not come to abolish the law but fulfil it.

Five; Jesus didn't give offerings either.

Last bullet; these things are just to show appreciation to GOD if you keep thinking it is to enrich your pastor stop giving it cause it is wastage. You just have to see it as thanks to God + God said let their be food in my house.

dnt say what u duno bro.. Let's leave wat can't be comprehended... There was a reason why Jesus asked john to baptize him, there was also a reason why God asked abel and cain to gv to him a tenth of what dey produced... All these hav their own significance... Let's pay attention to that which is of utmost importance... Love for our neighbours, love for God and love for self

Religion is scam that can never be detected by the authorities because in the mind of the people is where the track is.

The instruction says PAY YOUR TITHE. 1/10th.








So WHO ARE YOU to question the scriptures?

You are just mortal being, dieABLE, buryABLE, decayABLE, .

You didn't create urself. GOD DID.

What if he had said 9/10th of your income?

You go fight am?

ladyF:

Tallesty1:

do u undastand this scripture? ''being born-again,not of coruptible but of INCORUPTIBE, BY THE WORD OF GOD THAT LIVETH and ABIDETH FOREVER''. Dont worry I was once like u. Pls grow up. Bless u.

Are you in ur senses at all?
Who is talkin about being corruptible and incorruptible here?
The scripture was written by man through God's divine inspiration and accordance.

It's content is absolutely not debatable because we are just demi-god on earth created to rule the creature. Assuming God considered immoral sex as the right thing thereby fulfilling scriptures, questions like urs wouldn't have sprung up.
Why I said that is because tithe is pulling sometin from u.


The nature of your inquiry demonstrates you are yet to grasp the true meaning of the tithes as prescribed under the terms of the Law given by God to Moses, known as the old covenant.  Until you hv a solid understanding of the purposes served in the statutes, which were given by the people of Israel to provide financial support for the levitical tribes, you will be chasing for answers to individual verses withot having a solid foundation.


In Malachi 3:8-9 we see dat not paying tithes was considered ROBBING GOD.
Any man who did not PAY TITHES and give offerings was considered a thief in God's eyes, and this is proven by God's own words.

So my friend go and get wider scriptural knowledge before u come and make jest of yourself here.

Can you briefly tell us how the bible defines tithes, the purpose for tithes, the beneficiaries of tithes and the reason why they are entitled to collect tithes. Kindly back up your answers with clear scriptures. Reading meanings into scripture will not be accepted.

My brother, the concept of tithing has been far long misconstrued and emphasized to the point that most benefits of untithers are not connected to it but the scripture has commanded us to fill the store house.


The main principle behind tithing and giving is the fact that what we do with our money shows where our heart is. Check Matt 6:21  When we are able to give 10% or more of our income instead of keeping that money for ourselves, it shows that our heart isn't tied to our money and that we love God more than our money.  Mind you, it was never made compulsory but to build the spirit man. If you can pay tax, why can't you pay tithe?

The scripture most frequently referenced regarding the tithe is indeed in the old testament (Mal 3:10-12) abi?, but the tithe is also referenced in the new. In Mat23:23, Jesus talks to the farisees, condemning dem 4 tithing to the penny but neglecting the more important issues of justice, mercy and faith.  He then goes on to tell them that they should in fact tithe, but that they shouldn't neglect the more important things. Jesus recognized the importance of keeping the tithe and we should, too. 

If I still have time I will keep writing but i'm preparing for work.

If you can read 2cor 9: from verse 6, u go see say giving is also associated with tithing. Tithe is a term in biblical kingdom that is connected to spiritual and financial growth.
When you give (tithe) to God, you are reaping bountiful because life is spiritual.

Very few churches today disagree with the tithing concept claiming it's only in the old testament. But in the new, a broader explanation was adopted.
So many tins in the old which was abolished in the new like burnt offering, circumcision etc, in the new, it was still offering, but not burnt.

I don't expect such question to come from the likes of the OP cos I understand he is a member of christ embassy which I am a member too.

Bro, don't be deceived. Don't be one of those that say tithing enriches your pastor becos even in the bible, Jesus christ never lived like a poor man but lived a righteous life.

Goodmorning y'all

Despite the long epistle you just wrote, you did not even attempt to answer any of the questions I asked? Kindly answer them one by one and quote precise scripture to prove each answer. If you are unable to do this we will have to conclude that your position on tithes is not biblical but just your opinion and that of your church pastor who benefits from it.

christemmbassey:
So why should I?

Were you there over 2000 years ago?
