Oh, all those N5, N10, N100 abi?

I was raised a Catholic (I'm not anymore). No Catholic parish I have ever been to solicits tithes. It hasn't stopped Catholic parishes meeting up with their obligations, building new parishes, schools, hospitals, orphanages etc. Yes, those N50 or N100 is very useful.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

Hahahha, problem dey oo. see what you quoted.

Jesus was clearly rebuking the Pharisees for choosing to keep the less important command while neglecting the most important which is our duty of showing mercy and kindness to the less priviledged.


Now, remember. The Pharisees were not Christians. These were the people practicing the exact same law Jesus came to abolish.

Read your Bible and understand oo. That was not an instruction to the CHRISTIANS .

Religion is not supposed to? Or how can you explain the feeding of 5000 men with mere 5 loaves and 2 fishes?

Exactly my point..only the gullible believe in Fairy-tales,the developed economies like the Chinese and other advanced economies have moved on from such hogwash..
Only the poor,illiterate,ignorant and low IQ SHITHOLE Countries still believe in such Superstitious exploitative Mumbo Jumbo..

Read your Bible please


Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
James 1:27

Deuteronomy 26:12 King James Version (KJV)

When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;

Note the Bible asked you to use your tithe one four categories of persons in Deuternomy 26:12
1. Levites
2. Strangers
3. The Fatherless
4. Widows

Now... Can you show me in the Bible we're God asked you to "summit" to Pastors, I wish to learn.
Note that the Word of God is Supreme to the theories of men.

I'm confuse over it too .....


On a norms , its should be given to the poor people but I got to follow what creator said

So what creator said is not normal?

Edgarated:
I'm tired of this tithe issue stuff.
if you are tithing, continue.
if you are not tithing, hmm...,
if you are tithing to church continue.
If you feel tithing to church is not cool but rather using the money to help the needy..hmmm...
The bible made it clear...Malachi 3:10

All thanks to their numbers wouldn't you say? Plus generous donations especially during harvest.

You cannot compare them to all these new churches where money is their motive

Eberex:
Giving to the poor is not a bad thing but the Bible's instruction is clear. What the church does with it is none of your business. Besides if you aare attending a church where you feel they don't need your tithe, why then are you attending that church?

So?

Eberex:


So?

If you have issues with that verse of the scripture, that's okay. From the above passage, tithe is for Pastor, Stranger, Widow and Fatherless. It's not for the Pastor only, there was no such practice in the Bible.

If you aren't coping Christ, invalidate that verse of the scripture.

Malachi tells us about bringing the tithe into God's house, Deuteronomy 26:12 tells us the uses.

For the Catholic setting, its valid. But not valid to these new churches.

Even though the Catholic dont stress on tithes unlike others, I believe they are more honest on how the funds are used

Me too. I stopped tithing and now give money to the needy through my foundation named after my loving mother.
Over 50 families have benefited from my foundation, including a couple of people here on Nairaland and I am happy.

The truth is that most Churches and pastors are corrupt and out of touch with the people they are meant to protect and care for.

I am still a Christian and I am actually ready to go hell for giving to the needy and not promoting the negative and adulterous lifestyles of the pastors is the main reason.

Ask yourselves this hard question: why is it that 5 out 10 richest pastors in the world are Nigerians?

This caused a controversial discussion between some guys last week.. Isn't it surprising that 4 Nigerian pastors are among top 5 richest pastors in the world?

The Word of God is valid in His Church, irrespective of the denomination. I'm standing with the Word of God, not Church or Pastor.

Sir, pls can your foundation assist me in carrying out my personal cds coming up next week, for students in Jos South LGA? I will be very grateful as nothing is too small.

Picture of you giving your tithe to god please

But do you know God said , "as much as you have given to those in need, you have given to me"

I believe In paying tithe to the church were I receive God's word and also giving to other ministries that bless me. There is eternal blessings attached to this. It is a proof against recession, against pocket with holes.


Also I ensure that my parents are well taken care of. Intact I put them after God


Then I take care of the needy in different ways by meeting there needs. example I am developing a health facility to cater to the poor that can't afford proper Medicare.

AkpaMgbor:

So in other words, giving tithe is not wrong but laying emphasis on it? Why all the hullabaloo then?

They emphasize everything, its people who choose what they re-emphasize...
