Hmmm!

Quiet pathetic!

Paying of tithe is not a tradition in catholic church and honestlly I don't pay tithe.

ebosse:



Which company... My Best friend back then was (still is) a Muslim and I noticed how weak and unfocused he gets during fasting periods.. U don't expect a company which deals in manual labour to employ some1 like that ba? No Pun intended.

Looool, as for that your friend mahhhhhn the company just dey scam that guy ooooh... Wouldn't be surprise if na "Oga @ the top" pocket your friend so-called tithe dey enter.


I'm not trying to dispute the fact that these things happen (occasionally).... I'm just saying from what the OP came up with ( OverKilling his interview, catholics not paying tithe, refusing to mention the company) it is most likely 1 of those Fictional Threads we See these days on nairaland.

it is not just my friend alone but all d workers. it is just dat he doesn't attend d church of d organisation. dey employ base on d fact dat u attend deir church. it is d link my friend's dad has with a top personel dere dat helped him dere. so I don't understand y u are narrowing d tithe of a thing as if my friend is being scammed.

SalC:
Do you know any Catholic firm where someone was denied a job for being non Catholic? I need the name and address and if possible how it happened.

There are lots of them. Come to Owerri and you will find them. Need I mention your hospitals that give preferential treatment to non-catholics?

OH! well, like i said initially these things happen no doubt but this is a forum and stories are also fabricated for attention.They are just too much loopholes in that guys story,which i mentioned earlier. So you can't blame me for doubting his.

Not surprised, religion is destroying Nigeria.

Well keep doubting.

I only asked of the name and address. A Catholic hospital that gives preferential treatment to non-Catholics? I don't seem to understand what you are against anymore. You first complained of one that do not employ non-Catholics, now you are complaining of the ones that give preferential treatment to non-Catholics.

But Catholics pay tithes or am I missing something here? I used to be a Catholic and I can authoritatively write that the Catholic church receive tithes.

oneda:
Well the Bible calls who ever does not pay tithes a robber. I guess the company do not employ thieves/robbers

... Let the truth be told... Thank you my brother...ignorance is killing alot of nairalanders... Principles are principles.. U break them they break u... Biblical principles are good for everybody whether MUSLIMS or CHRISTIANS or Catholics... I believe the Catholics that pay tithe n pray in the name of JESUS are the refined ONES THAT HAVE LIGHT IN THEM... Those Catholics that don't pay tithe n always ask Mary to pray for them are very violent n full of darkness... They will attack me now... They behave like those extremists in Islam...THEY ALMOST BEAT ME UP WEN I WAS PREACHING IN NYSC CAMP... ON THE ISSUE NOW, If u don't pay tithe u are a THIEF... And the devourer will come after u which will also affect the company... If it were me I will employ u but U WILL BE CONVINCED to pay ur tithe... SOULWINNING STRATEGY... EVAGELIST Boma fanx

It was part of ur interview and u didn't defend urself

Do Catholic's pay tithes, I was told they don't pay tithes, from Nairaland Catholic's, some one is lying.

"No" but you still pay tithes, and later pay your offerings.
Same as any other Church, who join with those who chose to rip off God's people.

Mrbigman1:


We pay tithes but it's not something they preach in church.

If u wanna pay, u pay at ur own discretion not on persuasion.

I don't know the Parish you attend but I'm a catholic and I pay my tithe. I don't want to believe you're not also able to defend your faith when he diverted from the job talk to a religious one. Irrespective of the environment you are, don't fail to enlighten people about your faith. I've experienced a similar stuff and at the end my discussion with the man in question, he felt quite happy that I cleared his doubt on certain issues concerning my church.
I encourage everyone to please learn from this. It could be you tomorrow. What ever church you attend, try to know important things about the church. Join societies/groups, attend functions, buy books that concern the history, belief and practice of the church to gain knowledge. If you can't express your anywhere, you'll get embarrassed someday.

Nevertheless, people shouldn't bring in religion in matters like this. It's so bad and shows our high level of illiteracy. Smh

Like seriously!!![b][/b]

You Could have mention the name of the company let's clear them with billboard ClueleSs

This is my issue with religious folks, emphasis on the word religious.

You deny a man a job because his beliefs does not align with yours?? where on earth did you get your Christianity from?

Tithing is a personal issue as is salvation; between you and your God. Forced tithing cannot bless the tither.

I'm sure this private company would not think twice to do business with politicians with massive Ill gotten wealth, or Dangote, a Muslim who doesn't tithe, I'm sure they'll even count it as God's blessings. This philosophy can only be balanced if they refuse to do business with people who do not tithe completely, any thing short of this is hypocrisy.

Atigba:

Shut up

What do you know

YOU STILL WON'T UNDERSTAND! IS NOT BY RANTING OK

taiwolusol:


The point is this. What you just typed was clearly spelled out for you by your Pastor.

Apparently, only your pastor truly understands the things of the spirit

NOT REALLY, IT'S SO CLEAR THAT YOU CAN NOT READ THE BIBLE LIKE ANY LITERATURE BOOK & UNDERSTAND; YOU MUST ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP YOU

drnairalov:
my brother I was also denied a job tuday with the excuse that I wasn't staying close to the organisation, even when I told them I just got a place available around there!!!! after all ma prayaz!!! when peeps b giving testimony in church me ma yansh go just dey glued to seat...are we serving different God. or is there a special kinda prayer you pray b4 GOD ANSWER YOU

pardon me... i meant preferential treatment to catholics. You need a name and address? Go to St. Mary's Catholic hospital gwagwalada abuja. It's on the market road. If You need further directions let me know.

As a former Catholic now fully grown ATHEIST, those who claim catholics pay tithes are the ones lying. I was born in a staunch catholic home and attended a minor Seminary, never for once did the Rev.Fathers,Bishops,Monsignors,Monks e.t.c I came across teach the false tithe doctrine.
Those Catholics you hear mention tithes are either of these:
1. Those who know nothing about the Catholic Church's doctrine,
2. Those who are Church whores today they are Redeemed,tomorrow they are Living Faith next tomorrow they are back to the Catholic Church with imported doctrines
3. Those who are in the feel among parishes where the Priests who head such parishes have started this false tithe doctrine, seed sowing, first fruits, paying for prayers e.t.c. and will never use their brains to think. They just swallow it all hook, line and sinker.
4. Its 2015, a lot of bullsheet has been going on in Nigerian churches. Nothing new.

The Catholic Church encourages people, mostly Catholic Adults who are capable to do so, to give to its charity based organisations and also help its local church to grow but not under an obligation to be giving a specified percent.

There is nothing in the Catechism, Canon Law or any official Catholic church publication or teaching about 10% a.k.a tithe giving.

You Catholics should go learn more about your doctrines.

.... The God of this world has blinded ur eyes...this doctrine u preach is darkness... Repent n accept Jesus today... Forget about Mary n escape eternal damnation... U sound learned but u are a tool in the hands of the devil...like Paul, I decree that ur eyes be anointed with eye salve so that you may see the Light in Jesus Name AMEN... I see scales falling off ur eyes as u read this message now... Amen

Well you were a Catholic, and now your an Atheist, one hell to another.
It seems things are changing within the Church.

Eh eh and like the typical noise maker, he attacks the messenger and not the message.

I intentionally included the atheist part because I know Christians like you who their trademark is to be CONDESCENDING will become disgusted and start ranting like a rabid dog, calling others devilish and whatnot. Take your silly prayer and scales falling off my eyes and shove it in your arse. I don't need it.

And i guess you are a christian.. The very essence of Christ's coming was to teach and show us that love for God and your Neighbour justifies any law. You call being a catholic, being in hell. And lemmi guess agian, you are "Christ-like". smh.. all that does is annoy most Catholics and ya'll start to exchange words. That defeats the purpose of trying to be "Christ-like". don't you think?

Biblical tithing is not a scam ..its a way of honoring God ..the issue we have here is tithing to the wrong or fake church or pastor ..i personally will not tithe into a church am not sure of ..unfortunately we have a lot scammy churches that are using the non payment of tithe to put people in Bondage . God still loves you either you pay tithe or not ..his love is not tithe dependent ...any father is happy when they are honored .. eventhough they love their children unconditionally ... but children that honor their father are wise ..and thats what tithe is all about . Jesus never asked anyone tithe before he delivered or healed them ..

Unfortunately nobody or church practises biblical tithing today. The type of tithing(monetary tithe from income) has no sound biblical basis. It is derived from fraudulently twisting the meaning of biblical tithe then mis applying it to christians who are not under the tithe law in the first instance.

i agree with you about the misuse of the tithe application , but i disagree that tithe has no basis in christianity , it has and will always be depending on your motive and the knowledge . The first person that paid Tithe in the Bible is Abraham ... years afterthen the tithe was added to the law i.e .during moses time so that people can reap the benefit of the tithe.. which i believe is a way of honouring God that he will supply your needs supernaturally . Personally for me tithe paying is a form of worship and honor to God , thats why am careful where i put it , because i believe its an honor God not Man per se .
Tithe should not be paid legalisticly as a payment for protection so that God will not punish you , God is not like that , we live in the Grace and love of God and loves you independent of tithe payment or not , a smart christian will pay the tithe has a worship to God ,thanking him for what he has done and will do , God appreciates that gesture . Unfortunately , the church has confused the congregation about tithe payment ..and that if its not paid there will be a curse upn them , thats not true ..the Bible says we are redeemed from the curse of the law , so why will God curse you for not paying tithe when he has redeemed you from the curse of the law ..
and finally we all claim that we are abrahams child but we dont wonna do what he did to enter the blessing ( the first tithe payee )

Reference:


Why is it sad. The church is going to dominate the sane world while some other religions will dominate the 'dark' world. Honey, there is no neutrality. The reality is approaching. Someone indeed owns this world and all of us in it.

Are you OK

How is your vision different from that of bokoharam or Isis
