[size=13pt]Oya...tell us the difference between Tithe, Offering and Charity and lets see if it has nothing to do with helping someone.[/size]

anonimi:


Is that not what the anger that sparked this thread is all about

Anyss:

Offering is for d officiating minister of d day, tithe is for d priests or ministers for their up Keep and taking Care of the alter(eucharist). Its left for d minister or priest to decide wot to do with his share dats afta taking care of d alter of God. Charity is ------------ lol.

Anyss:

Do u really believe dat dose complainin really even support d church? Personally am very sure dose complainin hardly evven go to church.

anonimi:


Any text reference from the Bible for your definitions above

anonimi:


Is this about those specifically complaining or what the church should do generally as commanded by CHRIST whom they claim to follow?

Anyss:

Hehehhe. He's bringing d bible now. So was it ur bible asked u not to pay tithe and take d money instead to an orphanage home?

DrGraveYardz:
[b]No,it shouldn't be free. How would the church be able to pay both the teaching and non teaching staff their wages if they are were operating freely? Rather the school fees should be cheaper when compared to any other around.[/b]

Anyss:


Am not against charity sir. Am only saying d idea of free education from church sch is not feasible. Dats all.

meimoks:
Church schools are more expensive

AncientJerk:


What should the mission of any Church of Christ be? and in what way(s) might running a school be allied with this mission? If you can give these two questions some thought then I believe you might see things differently.

anonimi:

Yes! Next?

Anyss:

Also think of the things it will take to run a free sch, d requirements. Wot u'll suggest dat will be more feasible is scholarship for less privileged and a subsidized n affordable fee. Dats my take

DrGraveYardz:

Proof plssss

The Law of the Tithe

22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.
24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee:
25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: 26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: [1] and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

[size=13pt]So you are saying church members are responsible for paying ministers and Priests salaries, now you agree with me that someone is definitely helping someone.. how would you explain this verse?
"Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give." Hebrews 10:8. [/size]
