18wheeler: Learn the truth about tithing here Read deuteronomy 26 vs 12. Read deuteronomy 14 vs 28. Read numbers 18 vs 23 - 26. Avoid malachi 3 vs 8 - 10, It is an instruction to priests who do not pay their tithes as see in numbers 23 - 26. 1 Like 1 Share |

We have tithes and offerings. Tithes - 10% of your interest annually, which is to be paid to the church and such will be kept in the Lord's storehouse. The purpose of tithes is to help move the work of God. Usage is specific - the building of church building, ecclesiastic duties - clerical budget, travel, and unit allocations. Offerings - These are voluntary payments made to the church different from tithes. The purpose of the offering is to help the poor and the needy in the church. Usage is specific - Taking care of the widow and orphans, poor and the needy in the church, and anyone who is in need. WHY you cannot give your tithe to those in need, is simple tithes is not for that purpose. Can I give my offering to those in need? No, the reason why is because once someone is in need, it is a teaching moment and the church uses such opportunity to counsel and provide short and long-term plans to help that person become self-reliant. And the offering belongs to God and God alone reserves the right to decide how his funds are disbursed, we don't have any right to disburse it ourselves. I don't want to give my tithe to my pastor, he uses it for his own personal gain, what should I do? The purpose of paying tithe is to solely build the faith of the person paying, God doesn't need our money and is happy when we obey laws and build our trust in Him, the greater sin will be on the pastor and no blessing promised the faithful tithe payer will be lost. Laws and commandments, in the end, will preserve us, and doing our best to strive to keep those laws will bless those who keep those laws And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it. |

And you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27 And you shall not neglect fthe Levite who is within your towns, for ghe has no portion or inheritance with you. 28 At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. 29 And the Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do. |

Now, if you go to any of the prisons to show love and care, you can't just reach out to the prisoners directly, there's an authority that you must pass through.

richmond500: In as much you never handed your tax to the needy, this op needs spiritual diagnose. Tithes, like tax, is statutory and must be paid and you are just decieved to think that giving it to the needy frees you the obligation. If for exigency, you did, like tax, it remains unpaid. BTW, how many of you guys have been moved to give your school fees to the poor and later refuse to meet up paying the school fee? So-so belial generation |
Re: Have You Ever Considered Paying Tithes To Those Who Need Help? by Reference(m): 11:41am On Jul 25, 2021 |
That is not called tithe. Tithe is the Biblical name for taxation in the Kingdom of God. It is statutory, mandatory and has a rate that not changed for generations. Jesus Christ said you should give onto God what is God's. What is God's ahould not be given for any other purpose. In the church age the Tithe is to be collected by the priests, ministers and its purpose is to provide for the church, primarily so it can be established, grow and so that ministers are focused on spiritual things having tjeor mayerials needs taken care of. You donot take what belongs to Caesar to distribute to the poor or needy. Caesar is bound to send you to jail. Why should you divert what belongs to God. God has expressly commanded the poor to be cared for by those who are generous and He is a rewarded to them as if lending onto Him. There is order in the Kingdom of God. |
