Madame pay ur tithes and offerings; they belong to ur God; why decide to use His share to do ur bidding. It's just so unfortunate people misunderstood the writings and explanation of the Bible.

But people just think they are wise- wiser than God even. Baba say bring 1/10 to my household and keep 9 and do whatever you please with it.

The Nigerian misinterpretation of ancient Biblical rules is a cancer of the mind.

What is this one saying now?? U comments are becoming stale......
Everything everyone says is from pastors... Abeg clear off my mentions with your I know it all behavior all the time
It's simple! Most of you essentially sacrifice your God given ability to reason for yourselves in order to adopt and hence regurgitate the many unscriptural lies you have gorged on from the source which are your pastors and mogs... you are too gullible to be the source of the lies you spew. undecided

Using the tithe money for the widow is biblical but don't use the offering.

Widows and the less privileged are the real owner of tithe, together with the your full time pastor, ( non working)

A good gesture which is highly commendable but a bad idea. Give what belongs to God to God, and give what belongs to man to man. The problem we have is people imagination on how pastors spend money. But I must say all those thinking is at people's peril because the notion you have is you are giving to man and not God.

No wonder you are struggling in life.

It's a nice gesture to take care of the weak, widows and other less privileged ones among us. For this I highly commend her selfless act.

But if my debtor uses the money she's owing me to feed the poor, I will get her arrested and charged to court. It doesn't matter how rich I am.

The same thing will probably happen if you refuse to pay your taxes because you are using the money to take care of the poor.

Not everyone must give tithes.
But if you claim to be a Christian the Bible makes it compulsory for you. Whether tithe money is misappropriated by men who claim to be God sent is irrelevant, if you don't trust your pastor then switch your place of worship.

This one is either a determined mugu or potentially scammer using religion as a cover.

Tithing is an old testament practice.
Christianity does not include tithing.
Pastors imported tithing from the old testament and even use Mal. 3:8 to threaten their followers.
Whenever I read anything from Genesis to Malachi, I do so just to know what happened before redemption.
If I want to be follow the old Jewish religion, I'll pay tithes, give first fruits and burnt offerings.
A Christian is like Christ.
Argue with your big nyashed neighbour's daughter.
The reality is that The designation of the "old Testament " was done by whom

Do you know?


The reality is that Jehovah is Jehovah a Jewish deity and Europeans modified that story to suit THEIR culture and lifestyle of eating porlk and monogamy

The ideas that somehow the deity of the "old Testament" is different from the New testament is brainwashing

Jehovah was a blood thirsty , genocidal Hebrew deity with no agenda for black Africans

There is nothing like NEW TESTAMENT

Ask your self a simple question ##

WHAT DATE WAS the NEW TESTAMENT called "NEW" and by whom?

Has anyone ever told you that Jesus or God labelled those 27 books as New Testament?

Do some research into where that designation came from

No one has seen God.
We are born into different stories and follow them as if we were present when they happened

Stop lying! undecided

Jesus Christ never asked anyone of His followers for tithes and offerings. Your pastors and mogs are however the ones who do that.... the theives you come to steal from you, kill the fat of you and destroy God's flock that Jesus Christ warned you to steer clear of. But apparently no one of you listens to Jesus Christ because you serve these men as gods and masters instead. undecided

you know what my pastor did sometime back in respect to this tithe thing, he asked all those paying tithe to stand up. So we that weren't paying were seated so the payers would be looking down on. Is that not hypocrisy and guilty tripping/ blackmail? I know my bible so i just moved. Unless you don't read your bible, that's when they would want to blackmail you.

This is exactly what the Bible teaches about tithes. First give to people in need, don’t foolishly enrich already rich pastors

Wrong! That "scriptural" refers to that which is in fact written and can be comprehend as is written in what is scripture. "unscriptural" hence describes that which is not found in any logical context in scripture. undecided

You are brainwashed my guy. What do you really know about God? How did your pastor interpret the store house of God? Shebi na Church offering box ba?

No, your pastor deceived you. The store house of God is the poor and needy in your community. By giving to the church that 10% is supposed to be distributed by your pastor to the poor (and I am sure he doesn't even do that), but you can also cut the middle man who is your pastor and do it direct. Your 10% tithe is not for your pastor to feed himself because he has no other job. You can give something to your pastor if you like but the 10% is for the poor. That's how God feeds the poor, with your 10%.

So stop thinking you are wiser or holier than the girl in this post

Deuteronomy 14:28-29

28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
