Just the best way to be a good Christian! Jesus Christ never paid tithe - He paid only TAX. Pastors don't pay tax. They don't pay tax which Jesus Christ paid, but they collect the tithe which Jesus Christ didn't pay! To think that these people claim to be Christlike! Sometimes, they take from your tithe in your very before and give it to someone to buy groundnuts for them. Pastors no go make heaven, I tell you!
The Nigerian church goers are most gullible/lazy people on earth.......

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. [/b]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 [b] 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.
God is not wicked like man, especially Nigerian's wicked/ignorant church goers......
if the churches they pay their tithe to were doing the right thing, there won't be this high level of poverty in the society......shrkina

Forget that story, humanity will still remember her for good. If her pastor had taken her tithe and offering along with other people's own to buy a private jet and still flaunt it beyond the reach of her and other members, would you have compared the pastor to the Phalrisees for showing off his newest acquisition?

They would have instead said God blessed the pastor and he had to announce it for glory to go to God.

This rubbish needs to stop, very soon more people will stop paying tithes and my dream of buying a house in banana island, buying expensive bulletproof cars, Private jets, and flying abroad for evangelism would be dashed to pieces. I repeat this nonsense has to stop.

The Bible stated clearly that you should bring your tithes to the house of God and not a widows house. angry

Why can't people just obey the Bible?

I wouldn't say what I've seen concerning her until after 3 market days.

This I have seen.
this is how tithe works

if i have a church of 100members and each pays 1k as tithe, after gathering all the pastor now have 100k as his salary then as the saying goes everyone is equal b4 d law, making d pastor to pay his tithe of 10k out of the 100k, the church of God nw has 10k for that month as the church upkeep


mehnnn pastors are 4kin rich

Sow your tithe? Tithe which is a tax was not meant to be sowed, not according to God's Law of Moses. So this idea that you sow your tithe is a lie that your pastors and mogs use to deceive your lot with. undecided

10% of what?
Farm produce. Harvest of plant or livestock.

It was never mentioned that physicians and carpenters back then were asked to donate 10% of income. Eminent theologians I have had never taught me otherwise.

We cannot twist it now when it suits pastors' pockets to say "oh, we are not farmers these days, we cannot donate harvest". About 60-70% plus of Nigerians still live in rural areas as farmers.

I have said this for years here.

The popular US televangelist, Creflo Dollar, realised the errors of his ways on tithing and has apologised.

There were already physicians, officials working for Roman colonial authority, tent makers/defence contractors like Saul (Saint Paul), tax collectors, and so on during Jesus' time.

If you want to enjoy life keep an open mind.
There is a God/god/gods, no doubt.
It's the power controlling the universe.
Science call it energy.
I am a Christian by identification.
I am a spiritualist by existence.
I hope you know the difference?
Dig deep and you'll discover that every God/god/gods is "bloodthirsty".
All religious leaders who are spiritually grounded know this.
That's why they condemn their followers to a life of prayer and fasting while they visit traditional spiritualists for powers through blood sacrifices.
It's just a method of control that's not different from politics.
The only little difference is that while politics weaponises poverty, religion weaponises ignorance.

Deep words.

Show me one single scripture that makes it compulsory for believers in Christ to pay tithes.

Proper and accurate.

Jesus told the people that they didn't take care of him when he was in need. They retorted that Jesus had never been in need (like today's Pastor) but Jesus in His wisdom told them as long as they did not do it to their neighbors who are needy around them, thy have not done it for him.

Two commands only are propagated by Jesus:
Love God
&
Love your neighbor.

Period.

If you see a hungry sibling, friend or neighbour and you pass with your tithe simply because you want to go tender it in church, you are a hypocrite and of all men most miserable.
YOU KNOW NOT GOD!


Matthew 25:41-46
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me,(L) you who are cursed, into the eternal fire(M) prepared for the devil and his angels.(N) 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’(O)

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life
You understand the SECRET. I applaud you.

Why do you judge her by the words of Jesus Christ when your pastors and mogs and their tithe and offering traditions whom you refuse to judge are against the same Jesus Christ? undecided
