You people should stop all this silly debate about whether you should pay tithe or not. paying of tithe should be a personal decision. if you want to pay, good and if you don't want to pay, good. God is more interested in the type of life you live and how you represent him as a Christian than your tithe.

not paying tithe will not make you go to heaven or hell. it's the life you live that counts before God. though there're special blessings attached to paying of tithe. the choice is yours. all this tithe debate don too much! nobody dey force you to pay

This is the best tweet of the year, how can you be owing people who probably also need the money and you go ahead to pay tithe to millionaires and billionaires pastors... make God forgive all of us

point of correction, you don't pay tithe to pastors but to God. it's God that blesses a person, not the pastor. regardless of your grouse against pastors, there are still some genuine and spirit filled men of God out there. And also, it's not a crime for a pastor to be wealthy. stop judging!

u got it wrong bro,
Nobody pays tithes to pastor but God, when u go to church did u pray to pastor? The offering u gave did u give it to pastor? How come u now believe that your tithes goes to pastor pocket?
If you believed that your prayers go to God your offerings go to God then what makes tithes different, your tithes also go to God even you may no not how they spend them, leave that for God to judge not you.

Nice submission so this should invariably mean that if u pay that tithe to a widow or needy person and pray to God the tithe goes to God. You don’t necessarily have to pay it to the billionaire pastor or his church. Are We correct?

Is it morally right to take a percentage of your income to give to the church while you are owing people and probably denying them their next meal?

A man tweeted that before you pay your tithe, you should first pay back those you owe money and his tweet has led to a debate on Twitter.

The sad reality is that people take pastors as God


And also tithes go to the pastors
So yes you are paying pastors

Wow... This is exactly what Jesus talked about when he touched tithing.... Settle with your brother/sister before you pay your tithe...

I trust our Nigerian pastors though... grin grin... No wonder the evidence of Christianity is not reflected in the Nigerian society

you should not be paying tithe in the first place unless you are a 419 victim.

Ask the pastor to show you evidence god exist and then research how and why religions existed centuries ago.

churchgoers are less intelligent people, even less intelligent than that are people paying tax to a fraudulent pastor and a ponzi scheme called church...most of which goes in the pockets of the pastor and his partners in crime!

nice one, but if you give widow/needy money that is a gift not tithes, every church has a department that cares for the widow, needy, orphans and poor people, if any church/pastor fails to do that let God judge him/them

We should not owe anybody according to the Bible, we need to settle our dues, before our giving will be accepted, it's wrong to be owing people.

What is what doing is worth doing well. It's like not paying your bills or tax because you are owing humanity blah blah blah. Give your 10%, use your 90% if you must pay up. Even ordinary Cooperative will not take this flimsy excuse.

Tithe is not a gift, the passage you are referring to talks of a gift. Also, the passage doesn't excuse not giving the gift. It says settle your issue and offer the gift. They don't substitute for one another.

But in actual sense, we are not to owe, the Bible talks about that also, let's put it this way, as one is paying his or her tithes, he or she should also settle his or her debts.

There is no 'honour' in paying tithe when you are oweing your neighbour. Tithing is not a duty but honour. When you honour God, it becomes a lifting but, when you duty God, it becomes a burden.
Do not give in to those who believe tithing is wrong but also do not entangle yourself in the doctrine of men designed to sniff you of your earnings. Tithe to church to sustain what they do but also tithe to widows, orphans and the needy amongst you . Learn the art of balance and you will be happy with your deeds.

NB: Why do Nairaland restrict contributions to Islamic posts but open the Gospel to bashing by all. Very Shameful
