Paulpeterparker: You can pay your tithe to the poor, that won't be tithe but alms. If your decision is based on hatred for pastors and jets, you are not convinced of what you want to do. As wrongly accused by many, none of the pastors in Nigeria bought any jets with tithes. We hear how people bought, raised money to give correct their pastors jets. When I read certain threads on nairaland, I see how mean and unreasonable some are. Church is an organization built up by individuals with a lot of work, perseverance, fasting, giving etc. They raised money, some of these mega churches have robust accounting and audit departments, more efficient that those of any Nigerian governments at any level. In any case, without accountability, the churches won't grow at all. Churches are more difficult to grow than any other organization being a voluntary organization. The Church is not to be responsible for the welfare of citizens, but to her workers. Even, in the days when tithing was instituted, the was tax also. Tithe for Levite's, tax for government projects and welfare for citizens.. The question is if government has failed in its duty, has church failed in hers? Most schools in Nigeria are built by churches, their names bear witness. Many have orphanage homes, rehabilitation centres, provide portable water to communities etc. In advanced countries where governments do their responsibilities no one cares about church affairs.. So, if you take tithing as a biblical doctrine, get down to the Bible, read it, understand it, pay as prescribed or do not pay at all. |

asuustrike2009:happy sunday exzctly my point. Jesus did not condemn yet he did not approve. When the adulturous woman was condemned and the crowd want to stone her, jesus did not condem the law but did not give the power the law suppose to hold, he said he who is without sin cast the first stone. Clearly this is not the original law. Back to matt 23.23 he said tithe of cummin, anise, mint, this tithes are not money as done this days. Tithe have corrupted the church because its true meaning have been adjusted like in the days of the pharisees. That is why i said earlier this is why jesus came to free us from the law |
