To Tithe or Not to Tithe?

Me as a person i don't claim promises meant for the Israelites simply because am not one. But i hold tenaciously to the promise of God to Abraham which says "through him (Abraham) all nations of the earth will be blessed".

And am blessed already through Jesus Christ.

Yeah they are, the generation is this: Abraham > Isaac > Jacob(Israel).

God's promise:

Genesis 12:2. “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless

thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: and I will

bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in

thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

This promise is why the US of A is very prosperous today.


Promise of Israel:

In Genesis 15:18, the Lord said that Abraham’s descendants would have

their own country, and that this country would be between the river of

Egypt and the Euphrates River. (People sometimes call this the Promised

Land.)

And in the new testament:

Galatians 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and

heirs according to the promise.


Any other thing bro?

Tithe if you want to tithe. Don't tithe if you don't want to tithe. I tithe sometimes...but ehh not all times.

Hot-angel, don't know think what is worth doing is worth doing well? I respect everyone's opinion and I'm not trying to persuade anyone but if you can claim promises in the bible, don't you think you shall as well obey it in it's entirety?

@ objibb,

Well, my own bible did not say what you quoted above. Anyhow sha, I wish you the best bro.

Question?

 Male Nigerian What did yr bible say
Jesus did not pay tithe why can I pay now he only pay Temple Tax at Capernaum Math. 17 24-27.
24     ¶ And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
25     He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
26     Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
27     Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

 Luke 19:26     For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

LUKE8:18     Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

Matt 22:18     But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
They simply want to test Jesus Christ
What is the thing of God? Not Money, but simple Worship and adoration.

objibb, do you mind giving answer to the above?

joftech so you are simply saying that because some people misuse God's money then you won't give God his due. If that's so, then well.....

Shey?

Maybe him dey try dodge am 

 o.k oooo. anyhows sha.

OK.. now that u are in naija which religious tax do u want to pay..
or u no wan pay atall.

Simple, give the tithes to those that are poor. They are God personify.

So, can I now safely conclude from you guys that you don't pay anything money in church but you attend services?

I also told you that , the temple tax is a vistors tax for the king. He only ask peter to collect the money from the mouth of fish. Ok

It's not actually a debate. Everyone seems to be giving his own opinion about the issue and tends to get clearification where necessary.

But I still advice; not compelling anyone to tithe.
