BoosBae:
You have been faithful in tithing, don't allow the devil distract you. I believe you've gotten the answer to your question.

Strawman:
You've actually been overpaying. Tithe was a requirement of the Israelites to give 10% of the crops and livestock that they worked for (your basic salary). You can't actually regard the rest as your income in this sense.

I would also add that tithing is not mandatory, just in case at any point it starts to feel like a burden to you.

The Bible promotes cheerful giving..not necessarily tithing.

Lincolnburrows:


my dear, I haven't paid for the past three months. I like my friends idea. cos if my company gives me money for house rent, I don't think I should be paying tithe from there.

BoosBae:
My dera, whatever rocks your boat , the church will still go on without your 21k , don't think u're doing them a favour... u like your friend's idea then why are u asking questions? attention seeker

Lincolnburrows:


thanks bro. not mandatory but some pastors would ask u if u pay your tithe when u want to involve them in child dedication and wedding plans. Two weeks ago, I inquired from my pastor how to go about my wedding plans with the church. After two questions, he then asked if I was faithful with my tithe.

Lincolnburrows:


and how is this attention seeking? or are u a pastor?

Scream:


I believe that anything people hold dearly and bring up anytime they think you are at their mercy is not genuine (in fact, fraudulent!) especially when the more important things are not even considered.

It is obvious they have more stakes (or the sole beneficiary) in the idea/process/event...in this case, tithe.

Guys, seek ye first the kingdom of God...every other thing SHALL be added unto you.

Lobatan!

Lincolnburrows:


you are right bro. But I have limited options right now since I need their help. so I just have to adhere to their rules and regulations.

I can't see the pro-tithers to explain how they actually do their own tithing. Beginning to look like all these people that talk about tithe on nairaland haven't actually been paying theirs.

Imagine the statement 'since I need their help' Akpa must u do a church wedding? why don't u go to Court?... U don't want to pay ur tithe but u want the church to wed u, where will dey get money for fuel to run their generator for the wedding service? except u're ready to wed without light , and even if u agree to that be ready to sit on the floor with your bride and guests because those chairs were bought at a point in time with people's salaries. U don't want to do for the house of God but u want them to do for u, u want reap where u've not sown. Better carry that ur marriage to court. Stingy goat

Lincolnburrows:

You are beginning to be very silly. I am sure u don't pay your tithe. Just very good at whining your useless mouth.
If you read carefully, I am only trying to find out from responsible people the right amount to pay. I never said I don't want to pay. Idio.t

BoosBae:
Is it because u earn 200k +?, do u think everyone is a stingy broke ass like u?, why won't I pay my tithe, what's 10% of my salary dat's too big to give 2 God?.... Keep looking for responsible on a faceless forum to teach u how to pay , they'll also teach u how to live ur life. Grow up Mr man. Stingy goat

dallyemmy:
The Bible says: [b]bring ye ALL the tithe and not SOME of the tithe. [/b]Give your tithe because you love ❤ God! If you want to give tithe of 15 sheep I doubt if you will give 1 1/2 sheep. You will probably give 2 and not a sheep and a butchered 1/2. Read the scriptures on tithes exhaustively! God bless you!

Lincolnburrows:


@the bolded. Now I see where the beef is coming from. Now go back and read again. I said: Assuming that's what I earn. Meanwhile, even its what I earn, a lot of people are earning more than 2million monthly in this same country. So I don't know who's the broke ass between you and me. Ewu Gambia

Lincoln burrows:


Are u saying we should pay tithe from the money given to us for house rent. How about paying just from your basic salary.?

BoosBae:
Who dey beef broke ass small boy with fish brain? lol...Thank God u know people are earning way beyond ur 210k imagination, so what's all the fuss about? I'll advice u understand what tithing is b4 even thinking of even paying, it's not something u give grudgingly thinking u're doing the pastor or the church a favour. Giving is all about the heart not even the amount u give. Attention seeker end of story ....2day is a new day #okbye
