if you dey vex, you vex for ya self. its not ma business.



@bolded, what if the tenth is not offered/paid as tithe?



You know i don't have issues with ya definition of tithe (as long as you don't call it God's tithe ). You can define tithe anyhow you want. We know tithing was not restricted to God's people, the Egyptians, Babylonians e.t.c practiced tithing as well. the question you should be asking ya self is whose tithe are you paying?

i no vex, i just dey talk true as per our last discussion.
A tithe is a tenth and a tenth is a tithe, offered or not.
There is no where the bible makes any reference to a particular "God's tithe". Mind your business instead of worrying about the question i should be asking ma self.

trustman:

You are the one who needs improvement in your cognition.
If the word of God says "Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord." and one finds a woman who is not doing so, it can then be said that her non-compliance is displeasing to God.
If the Word does not prescribe animal sacrifices for the church age it can be said that anyone who insists on it displeases God.
If tithing is not MANDATED for the Christian today and anyone insists on it claiming that it is required of the Christian as an obligation that too can be said to be displeasing to God.

This should be as clear as it can be.

if.

He more likely collects and NOT pays the pastoral tithe.

So what do they say, how readest thou?

Mark 1:44 King James Version (KJV)

44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

What part of that do you practice?

That he offers animal sacrifices because ALL SCRIPTURES IS INSPIRED

@bolded, you are saying...in a queue of vehicles waiting to purchase petrol at a station, the 'tenth' car is a tithe? or in a family of 13, the 'tenth' child is a tithe, abi? You see ya self Are you sure you are not practicing babylonian version of tithe?

See the bit in blue font colour...

Leviticus 27:30-32 (NIV)
30 “‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod—will be holy to the Lord.

any tithe that is given contrary to the tithe that God decreed in His Word is a pagan tithe.

God said His tithes were to go to Levites, widows, orphans & strangers in Israel. He said that it was to be observed as He had declared.

So, Image & company are only fooling themselves if they think their form of tithing is pleasing God.

check your posts history maybe.

At@ , you're the one saying not me. Learn to ask questions intelligently instead of stereotyping or carving your opinions on another. If your queue of cars belong to one person and are the same model, the tenth would be a tithe, which of course is 10%. When you calculate 10% of your 13children, the answer is the tenth which is your tithe.

Why not teach and practice circumcision and animal sacrifices then since you would not go to hell for saying that?
And while at it, don't let your wife near the church during her you know what since ALL SCRIPTURES IS INSPIRED

Playing opossum not quite intelligently

We've been through this before. Many things belong to the Lord in that chapter if you care to read through. It in no way implies that whatever is not written in that one chapter does not belong to the Lord. For goodness sake, the earth is the Lord's.

The preacher said, "Pay your tithe!
This is the command of God!
In this you must honor Him
As upon this Earth you trod.

But God, I have read your Word
And still do not understand
You required tithe of Israel
Not of any other land.

And the tithe, you said,
Was to be of trees and garden
And livestock were included too
From tithes there was no pardon.

But in all your Word that I have read
And studied night and day
You never said we were to tithe our cash
So answer if I may.

Just choose to give what I will give
As instucted by Apostle Paul?
Would you have us live under Grace?
Or be bound by Israel's Law?

Should my giving be a tithe?
Is that your true desire?
Or is the preacher's message
To you a a strange fire?

If never in your Word
You commanded tithe of cash
Then I will rightly rebuke the man
Whose tithe demand is trash.

You're the one with issues bro, it's your interpretation. i should be the one asking what is hindering you.

So if everything belongs to the Lord, wasn't it redundant saying so in this verse?

You imagine that GIVEN;
1. All Scriptures is inspired and
2. Scriptures taught tithing

THEREFORE tithing is eternal and saying tithing is not for Christians is rejecting divine inspiration of the scriptures
Two facts and a fallacious conclusion. pathetic

It is the altar that sanctifies the gift, and it is the temple that sanctifies the gold. Go, find time and God to learn what that means.

maybe you needs to find out what that means. Nadab and Abihu offered that which the Lord had not commanded. It did not become "sanctified" on the altar.

The Priests in Malachi offered sick and blind animals. They did not become "sanctified".

Here you go again seeking to divert attention from the issues at hand and go through an 'escape route'.
As soon as you're unable to face reality you look for a quick way out.

That is why you need to find time and God to tell you what it means. It is God that said it, not me. i knew already that you do not know, hence the advice.
