Na lie, that time Jesus spoke about tithe, if he go against the Jewish law they will prosecute him. And what tithe is uses for it was like a tax of the Moses time, they use it to help the poor. You are to eat it with your family and give the remaining to the poor not pastors

How does this move one closer to God? Genuine Christianity is not all about money.

I love you bruh

Calling other pastors greedy to me is wrong because of what you did is totally wrong. This is not the first pastor to do it, I know a pastor who has said this too. Also if the giver has faith in God to do that, then it is between them and God. Let everyone act according to their measure of faith.

Tithing doesn’t bring you closer to God in any way. Neither does it guarantees u heaven. Anyone ever notice the people who always talk bout tithe are so called pastors we have in this country. Baba you go make heaven even without tithe. Why is no one talking about the fact no tithing was mentioned in the New Testament?? If you feel is something you have to do to make you happy go ahead. What I just hate is this notion that first fruit is mandated by God. Ogbeni it’s not. People are really suffering in this country. Take that your tithe look around your neighborhood and give it to someone who can’t afford 3 square meals or whatever. Cos truth is we really don’t know where this Christianity came from only that the white men came with it and our ancestors took it up because it’s more humane than the one they are already practicing. 45% of British people don’t even believe in God. This was the same people their ancestors brought this religion to us. We carry am for head wan kill ourself. Tithe no tithe baba e nor go stop you from making heaven!

Builderman:
Some years back, after a Sunday morning Mass in Abuja, a young and a good looking lady walked up to me. She was holding a fat brown envelope. She handed the envelope to me and said I should please pray for her.

I asked her about the content of the envelope and what particular intention would I be praying for?
She told me that she started working just a month ago and that she came to thank the Lord and to offer the first fruit of her work for God’s blessings.
What was in the envelope was her salary for that month. Her first salary. The entire money! Everything!.

In all honesty, I was speechless not for lack of words but for being unable to know where to begin. Inside me I was like: do people still entrust everything they have to God in a child-like simplicity like this? I was really moved.

In my heart, I said a prayer for her, that type of prayer that is deep down, it was as though it was the Holy Spirit Himself that was praying through me. I was feeling the answers to the prayers even before I finished praying.

Then she knelt down, I laid my hands upon her and blessed her and the money.

After prayers, I asked her to tell me how much was in the envelope. She said Eighty Thousand Naira.

Then I asked, “how much covers your transport to your work daily?”.

She said “approximately N1,000 naira to and fro, Father.” That means for 27 work days, it would be N27,000.

Then I spoke up again, “Sorry o, I am asking you too many questions, how much do you feed daily when you go to work?”.
She answered “It depends. If I want to eat so well, I spend 800 naira with drinks, but mainly I spend just N500, and sometimes I carry food from home.”

So, I made the calculation in my head. Let say she spends 500 naira daily, 27 work days would be 13,500 naira.
I went ahead to enquire about her accommodation and I discovered that she stayed alone in an apartment she just rented. We made the calculation by dividing the annual rent by 12 months and we discovered that if she was to pay rent monthly, it would be N12,500.

Her monthly electricity and water bill with other fees for house maintenance was put at N10,000....On phone calls and data, we approximated it to be N5000 monthly. Her monthly DSTV subscription was around N3,600 for DSTV family bouquet.

When you put all the expenses together and subtract it from the N80,000, she would be left with N8,400 to buy food stuffs and other things in the house.
These are the expenses that she wss sure to spend every month. We had not even talked about other things like make up, doing her hair, clothes, gifts to family and even savings.
This is a huge sacrifice, in my judgement. I intentionally asked her those questions so as to ascertain the depth of her sacrifice.

I brought out the envelope, bless it for the second time and gave it to her. I looked at her countenance and I knew she was not too comfortable with my action. Then I took time to explain the Bible to her. That was when I discovered that so many people do not truly understand how God works.

When God asks us for first fruit or for tithe or for any sacrifice, it is not so that He will eat it. No! He has no need of our money. When He asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son, it was not because he liked seeing the blood of innocent children.

When He asked Abel and Cain to make a sacrifice to Him, it was not because he ate fruit or even drank blood of rams. It is simply to test how committed we are, how willing are we to leave everything to Him. Do we, like Cain, select offerings that we no longer desire and give to Him or do we, like Abel, empty everything to Him?

This lady that brought the first fruit began to understand for the first time. Right from when she put the money in the envelope to bring to God, God had already accepted her offering. The minister must not spend the money. It is just that most of us ministers are unfortunately greedy. And we use God’s name to cover it up. We often see the part of scriptures that favour our stomach.*

Theologically, when you give to God, He transforms that gift and gives it back to you. The bread and wine people offer before mass are transformed to the body and blood of Christ and given back to the people to eat and drink.

The son Isaac that Abraham gave to God, was transformed to be a channel that would bring....forth the fulfillment of God’s promise and given back to Abraham.
The offerings of bread and fish people brought were prayed upon and given back to them to eat and they were filled, still there was left over.

The water they filled at the wedding in Cana is given back to them as wine..
The Ugwu Kelvin that my parents offered to God, is given back to them as a priest.

The money that the young lady brought to me as her first fruit is blessed and given back to her as pure gift from heaven.

Blind bat, stop misquoting the Bible. The first fruit spoken of in the verse you quoted is talking about the first to resurrect not offering. Jesus is the first to resurrect among all those that are dead. It in no way says we don't have to pay first fruit/tithe to God.

This is a very weak and lazy submission. Before the law of Moses, man knew what was morally right or wrong. Wasnt Noah's unclothedness uncovered and was it not sin? Was there a law for that? How did Cain know that he sinned after he killed Abel? What did God use to judge sodom and gommorah? Which law? Oga we are not under the law. There is a better covenant it's called the new covenant.

You talk as if the law of Moses was just Moses idea. You forgot that it was Good who gave it to him. That law existed long before Moses was born. Moses only documented it. God had always used that law as standard right from Cain and Abel.

The Apostles need not repeat the law on tithing because it is already well detailed in the new testament. They didn't come to erase the law of God. Since God did not tell them that the law should be discarded, they saw no need to discard it but to continue with it. Since the new testament doesn't record them continuing or discarding it, it is best we continue with it until God says otherwise. since God hasn't said anything different than what he said in the Old Testament about tithing, then it means that what he said back then still holds. Anyone trying to abolish tithing is only speaking when God has not spoken.

If you believe that tithe was rebuked in the new testament or abolished , produce your evidence so the Christian world can benefit from your revelation.

The character that made that contribution is now very afraid to back up his submission from the new testament that he claimed to be very versed in.

Does that not tell you that he is an agent of the devil for the propagation of falsehood within the body of Christ?

And the scripture says that whosoever adds to it or deduct from it is already cursed.

You lack understanding of scriptures. Which law existed before Moses? Did Abraham observe the sabbath? Did he pay tithe as a normal practice?

This tithe things is because man built their own churches which God does not inhabit hence they need to maintain it. We r not under the law. There is a moral law that everyone is bound by. You dont need anyone to tell you that stealing is wrong, or murdering is wrong. The law was a shadow of the things to come(Jesus). Now that He has come y r u under the law? If you tithe then you must keep the sabbath, you must sacrifice with the blood of animals because you cannot mix the old and new testament. The early church didnt tithe.

Thumb � up, the Roman's inserted tithe to Christianity. Early Christians don't tithe, they do contributes and share among themselves to make everybody happy. Christians mean equality, everybody is high priest in the lord Jesus Christ.
Am the a Christian but I was born a Christian and I love the word and life of Christian. I change from calling myself a Christian the day I sees that what we are practicing now is not the Christ like.

CodeTemplar:

Mathew 23:23 shatters all your rants.

You are void of understanding. Jesus was under the law and hence obeyed the law. Hebrews states that the testament is not in force until the death of the testator.

Meaning the new testament was ushered in after the death of Jesus. Nobody prayed in His name until he died and rose so the law was in force and tithing was normal.

Jesus also told the man he healed to go perform what was commanded by Moses..do you or your ignorant church members perform what was commanded by Moses everytime you climb ur dirty and rotten pulpits to share testimony of healing?

Jesus also told the disciples not to go to any other tribe to preach except the lost sheep of israel..r u d lost sheep of Israel? You see my friend, you must gain understanding of scriptures and stop picking the letters of the word but the spirit. You cannot pick and drop what you like in the bible. If you pick one then pick all. Dont just read the bible out of context but gain understanding of scripture in its entirety.

Dont forget satan tempted Christ by picking scripture out of context

You are missing the point. Whether they gave for seed sowing or for his need or to help other christians. First it was between them and God and before even him. As he clearly stated that they gave themselves first to God. Jesus Christ said be it done unto you according to your faith. A Christian with spiritual understanding will know that there is blessing that comes with giving because the scriptures said it is more blessed to give than to receive. As a giver the right mindset is that we are not just giving to the church, or to the needy or a pastor as your kind like to believe. No, we are giving to God regardless of who receives it because the blessings come from God. We are merely stewards of whatever wealth God entrusted us with. It belongs to him. If someone that is rich and that you adore like Buhari, Jonathan, Messi or Ronaldo asks you to give him some money, you knowing fully well that this person doesn't really need it, won't you gladly give him something "presentable" because of the respect and admiration you have for him, even though you might not have much. You will likely think that what you will get in return will exceed whatever you gave. How much more God? He doesn't need your money. It belongs to him in the first place and we should be willing to serve him with it if He is truly first in our lives. I should have posted a lot of scriptural references as I usually do but I'm not in a good position now. The Macedonian begged to give because they had the mindset that it was a service to the Lord as any christian should.
If a believe is convinced about something and has faith to do it. It actually is between them and God and not any man. The fact that you don't have faith for it doesn't mean you should condemn those that do

It belongs to him in the first place and we should be willing to serve him with it if He is truly first in our lives. I should have posted a lot of scriptural references as I usually do but I'm not in a good position now. The Macedonian begged to give because they had the mindset that it was a service to the Lord as any christian should.
If a believe is convinced about something and has faith to do it. It actually is between them and God and not any man. The fact that you don't have faith for it doesn't mean you should condemn those that do

You don't give to God, you bless humanity through giving and in turn God recognises it as an act of righteousness if given with good intentions.

Reward for giving is a law of nature just like gravitational force. (what goes up must come down) but righteous giving when done according to the scriptures (not according to Apostate motivational speaker's demand) attracts divine providence.
