[quote author=youngdave78 post=108625167]I was wondering if it's a most to take your tithes to church? It is, so long you don't give it to your pastor, you can give it to the poor, widows, orphans or less privileged in your Church, tithe is meant for merry making in the presence of God, the only clause is that the Levite's join you in making merry, you're to carry the poor amongst you along since there are no Levite's here. Deut 14 V 22 down is for your guidance. 1 Like |

Simran94:The book of Malachi is not a Christian book. I read it just to know what happened when people were still under the law. I am a Christian and I am not under the law. Many Christians still subject themselves to the law because they don't want to be seen as the disobedient ones. Too bad! And to my earlier post, I never implied that Jesus said they shouldn't pay tithes. He simply told them that tithing was less important. Maybe you didn't notice that I wrote more important things in bold? That's for emphasis. Our G.O.s of these days say otherwise. Tithing now comes before any other thing! Too bad. 1 Like |

Then its means you believe in tithing and if you truly does you follow what the bible says. Bible didn't talk about giving tithe to beggar. No issue if you give money to beggar. Its either you believe in tithing or not. Or you are looking for peace by condemning by condemning what you feel if you do you will not be comfortable with. You can never condemn the truth to have peace. There is no half way. For me i'm never on the fence. Get a life! |

Moslems do not pay tithes, yes they are created by God. No tithing in Buddhism, yes they are created by God. The chinese are majority Buddhists, they do not tithe, nor were they ever threatened with hell fire. The concept of tithing was an agreement between the nation of Israel and Yahweh. The modern churches were founded on the gospel of prosperity or nothing else. The wickedness of many GOs is 2nd to none. God had not requested for a tithe from us, rather he expected us to help the poor ,the less privileges among us. This was the essence of Christianity. If you like give all your earnings to GOs because you are being blackmail that you will go to hell as a result of non tithing. God gave us brain so that we might think. He gave us knowledge, so that we might know. He gave us wisdom, so that we would not be scammed by modern day GOs who are more interested in your money rather than the salvation of your soul. 1 Like

Dada4me:Christ was speaking to the Pharisees, who were worshippers of Judaism and followers of the law of Moses. Question is, are you are Pharisees.? Are you a follower of Judaism? No where in the bible where Christ or disciple collected tithe or asked Christians to collect tithe. Tithing is the law. We're no longer under the law of Moses. Stop taking yourself back to the law because of money. 1 Like |

Myer: You don't know me, you have already labeled me. Thank God you are holier than me, and equipped with scripture. If you like believe in tithe If you like believe in cheerful giving If you like believe in my pastor says If you like recite the whole Bible in your head. If you like be looking for requirement in scripture Your salvation is not hinged on mine, neither is mine hinged on yours, so I won't dignify your call to debate scripture so you can strut around like a peacock. |

On what basis did God institute tithing and for who? Understanding this will solve a lot of issues. 1. Father Abraham was the 1st to offer tithe to melchizedek after his victory in war. He gave Melchizedek 10% of his loot /spoils of war. 2. Israel has 12 tribes and all have inheritance except Levites (the sons of Levi) so the tithe from all tribes is for them because they don't work, they are to always be in the temple. 3. There is blessing attached to tithing.. 4. Tithing is optional now, but the blessings still are available. |

youngdave78: First I want to know any passage in the Bible where Someone was saved from any sickness , get wealthy, got married, find job, find favor e.t.c all because he paid tithe. Even jesus himself said woe unto you that pays tithe without doing the more important things which is giving to the needy and that was the only time Jesus talked about tithe, all the time Jesus was going around I never seen any passage of the Bible where he threatened anyone with tithe. Tithe giving is not even in 10 commandment. I hope this few instances will help you understand which is more important between giving to a beggar and tithe. Remember Jesus is the only that died for your sins not your pastor so chose the one you want to obey between Jesus and pastor. 1 Like |

ronyman: 1. Father Abraham was returning from war. Are the Christians of today returning from war? So going to work in your offices is now similar to going to war and killing people? Besides, if you read that chapter very well, you will see that he returned back the 90% to the king of Sodom. So if you want to pay tithe like Abraham, then it means you have to return the rest 90% back to your employer. 2.There is no body from Nigeria that qualifies to be a Levite. Your GOs are not from Isreal. They're from Nigeria, with roots in Nigeria. So going from this argument, no single person in Nigeria qualifies as Levite because Levi is a family in Isreal. And besides, Levites recevied no allotment of land or anything. But your GOs today, have properties scattered all over the world. 3. There is no single blessing attached to tithing. It is actually a curse to tithe. Galatians 3:10. Tithing is the law. 4. Tithe is not known to Christianity. It carries a curse for who denounces the grace of God to go back into the law. 1 Like |

youngdave78: You are not thinking straight and that's why you are having such thought. How can you say you are giving your tithe to a beggar,how you alright, which Bible are you reading. Giving to a beggar is called alms giving and it is not the same as giving your tithe. Tithe should be paid to your local church that feeds you spiritually. Mal 3:9 |

jpmoriarti: There are moral laws and ceremonial laws. Ceremonial laws are done away with while moral laws remain in operation. The law of Moses says thou shall not kill, is it obsolete now? Your answer goes for tithe. Note too that Jesus did not condemn those who pay tithe even though he did not expressly take tithe. This is because he was not the leader in the temple. |
