Whats there to doubt? Different Kingdom? Gods kingdom?
@ Old Law of Moses is the national Constitution of God's nation of Israel which He constituted of the people of Israel in the Land of Canaan.
@ the Gospel is the national Constitution of the Kingdom of God which is a Kingdom not of this world that is of the Lost sheep of Israel

Both Kingdoms belong to God but are under different Covenants/Laws.

She is saying that tithe is supposed to be a personal matter between God and I. So I asked a question that what if I have a 5% voluntary contribution to an overseas fund, and i kept it private, and one day she stumbled on my account statement and found out that I now have 30k in overseas contributions. Would she be happy I didn’t tell her, and she said of course, I would need to let her know.
This answer got me confused, because if tithe should be a private matter, why should my voluntary contributions from my 20% not be a private matter!?

Personally, I think tithing as done in today's church is optional. If you insist on paying tithe, since you are in the diaspora, can't your employer deduct tithe from your tax as charity donations and send it to your church?

In the bible, no one can lay claim to being the owner of the temples. But these churches of today is owned by either an individual or a group of individuals as always shown in their CAC and other documents hence, reflect in the way the tithes and offerings are managed, even by the owner of the church undecided undecided

Be wise my brother

optm:

Well First of, those people paying tithes are not foolish, God instituted tithes as a statue in the old testament in order to make provision for the temple and it's workers the Levites. The work of God here on earth needs finance. If you read the scripture i shared earlier, Jesus said , they should tithe but not neglect important things as love and justice.

Please this topic wants to tear the family apart.

We are doing well, each of us earns almost 85k per year, I'm in IT, she's in healthcare, and we both work full-time.
I am a Christian, I have never defaulted in tithing in the last 5 years. Not once.
She says tithing is my personal 'problem'. She uses the word problem specifically. She doesn't pay tithe.

This is the present sharing agreement, I bring 70%, she brings 30%.
This 70-30 covers the cost of living, groceries, nursery fees for our baby, and other bills.
before this sharing, we both bring equal amounts for the house mortgage and the car.
When her family needs money, she insists that we share it 50-50 based on her culture.

For my cybersecurity certifications, I pay from my less than 20%, but I have never complained. God has been faithful. My belief is that my tithe covers for the family.
The good news is that I won a large sum of money from my savings, tens of thousands of dollars. I intend to pay tithe, and channel most of the money to my professional development so I can earn more. I don't think I deserve that money I won, that money was from God.
She thinks otherwise.

What's your opinion?



Focus on God and your hustle...

Your wife shares her family responsibilities 50-50, but would insist you pay your tithes AlONE, but would alsO shAre your savings> Oga you Are in a wrong relATIonshiP. Waling with God is a personal relationship and you are convinved enough in the grace of God to have been faithful enough to pay tithes for 5 years, God would surely reward you. However, that partner is going to be a clog in your wheel. The Bible asks, can two walk together except they agree, if they do, one is deceiving the other. You seem to be the one olding the short end of the stick.

But didnt you establish this before commitment to marriage?

I think that the fact that you are tithing should be a ground for divorce. As a supposed leader of a household, your wife has more common sense than you. You work. She works. And at the end, you take part of your money to feed another man's family under the guise of giving to God.

It makes sense why women abandon their husbands abroad--some of you come with factory-fitted stupidity.

First off, people should always marry people with similar values. It's very very important.

That being said, tithing is your thing and if your wife doesn't believe in it, so be it. Continue doing your thing, after all no one forced you. You alone are reaping the benefits.

Fortunately or unfortunately, your benefits will extend to the family as a married man, you don't really have a choice.

The work of God here on earth needs finance. If you read the scripture i shared earlier, Jesus said , they should tithe but not neglect important things as love and justice.

The work of God needs finance and you are the one God asked to finance it with TITHE?

Where are you people reading in your Bible, I don't understand. Tithes and Offerings (yes both) have been abolished, you know why?

Nobody has the office to collect tithes and offerings.
Read my lips.
NOBODY.

Offerings is a ritual of the old law for different purposes.
Tithes was a command in the old law of a tenth of all your increase.
Take note OLD LAW.

The High Priest was in the office of collecting tithes and offerings in the old law. The law has been fulfilled by the coming of Jesus Christ, whose blood replaced the need to offer God anything in exchange. Jesus OFFERED himself as the ultimate SACRIFICE. He is now the High Priest FOREVER in the order of Melchizedek (that is, having no beginning of days or end of days). Hebrews 6:20

This means, NO OTHER PERSON can collect TITHE. Your pastors and apostles know it. They don't have the authority to collect both "tithes and offerings" because it is no longer a requirement for blessings, remission of sins, protection and so on. And Jesus Christ who is the NEW High Priest DOES NOT require it. So why should anyone collect it? This is why Creflo Dollar and some other pastors came out openly to say the truth about it because it is not possible for a new testament pastor to be in the office of a High Priest.

Go and study the entire Book of Hebrews.

There are only two commands that Jesus Christ gave which fulfils ALL OF THE COMMANDMENTS

Matthew 22:36-40
Galatians 5:14
1. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God....
2. Love your neighbor as yourself.

The rest will sort itself out in those two commands because you will give willingly to help others, not grudgingly. And Christ Himself said, in Matthew 25:40 "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

May the Holy Spirit grant you understanding.

She's right. Tithing is your personal problem. It doesn't cover the family, those that are no more paid tithe more than you do.

Let us stop this mentality of attaching our success, protection, growth to tithe...God doesn't work that way

Dangote, Mark, Elon musk et al doesn't pay tithe, I m sure you are not richer than any of them

In my opinion your wife is a million times smarter than you by telling you that paying tithes is your personal problem. How can any rational thinking human being willingly hand over 10% of their income to a self appointed religious leader? That's just outright stupidity

For almost 2000 years, Jesus Christ, who never asked anyone for a dime of their money, has never owned a bank account or been shown to have received even a penny from any religious leader, yet Christians(religionists) claim they have given him tons of their wealth by way of their Mogs and Pastors. No be magic be that? grin
they can't under this, they have been mentally manipulated, to serve the selfish interest of their pastors or sorry daddy in the lord. Even Jesus Dem no call am Daddy.
