musicwriter:get away from me thou simpleton! you all resort to insults when you encounter a point you can't refute..Christ also said man shall not live by bread alone but by the word which proceeds from the mouth of God..does it mean we don't have need for bread in our stomach again? He clearly said in plain words that we should not neglect the weightier things in life and concentrate on the smaller less important ones..does that condemn the less important things in your warped thinking? in plain English he meant, ' do this while also doing this'..jeez! 1 Like |

xest:you of all people here has the most understanding.. Christ clearly said we should not neglect the things that matter most and focus on less important things.. BUT that doesn't mean he condemned those less important things.. how hard is that for people to understand?Christ did not condemn tithing in itself.. |

ZoneBslayer: I never meant to insult you as that's not my nature. I' am really sorry for your reading me wrong due to your misconceptions. Jesus was also a preacher doing the work of God. Can you show me any place in the Bible where Jesus himself collected tithe from his followers. Where in the Bible did Jesus himself collect tithe? If you are able to show me, I'll delete my Nairaland account. 1 Like |

ipreach: 2. Mathew 23:23 "how terrible of u teachers of the lwa and Pharisees. U hypocrites U give to God a tenth of even of the seasoning, herebs such as mint BUT U NEGLECT TO OBEY THE REALLY IMPORTANT TEACHINGS OF THE THE LAW SUCH AS JUSTICE, MERCY AND HONESTY. THESE U SHOULD PRACTICE WITHOUT NEGLECTING THE OTHERS. U strain a fly out of your drink and drink a camel.....u wash the outside of your cups and leave their insides dirty" My understanding here of this passage is that God is saying tithing is not important compared to things like justice, mercy and honesty, love etc. I focused on this verse BECAUSE IT IS THE DIRECT QUOTE FROM JESUS HIMSELF. All other verses are mere "opinions" of fellow human beings like you and I. Summary is Love God and love your neighbour. If this does not require you paying tithes to pastors then you are good to go. Pastors these days always try to use verses FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT to justify why you should pay your tithes to them. Then these pastors go ahead to buy the best cars and houses while we the congregation commute by okada, keke napep, old cars and public transport. God is a just God and He will judge everyone fairly according to our deeds and actions. I really pity pastors who collect tithes for the own personal gains rather than for the purpose of charity. They buy limousines, Rolls Royces etc and forget about the needy (COZA's Fatoyimbo comes to mind here). What they fail to realise is that even Jesus adviced that we sell all our properties and belongings to follow Him faithfully. Some Pastors these days are doing the direct opposite. Rather than giving up their personal wealth and spreading it to the needy, they are more concerned with acquiring more wealth For me, I rather Love God and love my neighbours by catering for my neighbours who are in need. the homeless, the sick, the needy, the less privileged in society. This is the best way to go and if everyone does this, we will soon see that there is enough for everyone's needs but never enough for one man's greed. 2 Likes |

holamiday:God bless you for this wonderful piece. I've always held same view point about Christian giving. The love of Christ should propel me to give even more than tithe to the cause of Christ, when I have the Grace, and it's not mandatory one gives a tithe when one finds himself in some difficult situations. Why should I give to the Lord grudgingly? Only two categories of Christians will have problem with your comment. 1. Pastors and church workers who think "Christians" must be coerced and cajoled to give, lest they are starved of means of livelihoods. 2. Baby Christians who can't digest and discern biblical truths through the help of the Holy Spirit. NB: I look forward to a time when I will even give God up to 50% of my earnings not grudgingly but cheerfully and i need no pastor to sermonise me that I'm a sinner for not paying tithe@ the moment. |

Deuteronomy 26:12 When thou has made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and has given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled. |
Re: 10 Bible Verses On Tithing by nduchucks: 3:33pm On Mar 12, 2017 |
If people believe that tithing as mentioned in the OP's quotes is equivalent to foolishly making corrupt pastor's rich, then those people are worse than fools. If Christians follow Jesus, I'd appreciate a direct quote from Jesus where he preached that people should tithe. Christians should ask themselves why their pastor's hardly spend much time on what Jesus said were the 2 greatest commandments and vigorously preach about tithing. If you claim to be a Christian and do not know what those 2 greatest commandments are but you know about tithing, then you should do some introspection. I submit that you are better off giving alms, in an act of love to your needy neighbor than paying tithes. |

hefelove: If your Pastor tells you to pay Tithe to the Church every month, he is breaking God’s law on Tithe therefore he is a sinner!In the bible, the tithes which were paid yearly, were for your personal use, like a personal savings plan, NOT to be given to the church. The Bible literarily says you can spend it on suya or peppersoup (Oxen), on beer (wine) or strong drink (Brandy or Whiskey) or anything you crave.The tithe to be given to the church was every three years- NOT every month or every year! This tithe was to be used for the poor and needy in the community- NOT for the Pastor’s personal use.If your Pastor does otherwise, he is defrauding God! Don’t argue with me, argue with Deuteronomy 14 vs 22-28 below.I am off to Church, it’s the first Sunday of the month, I need to pay my tithe!22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always.24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. |

tithing was a law for the Israelite alone... so that the levites who worked in the house of God and had nothing to survive on might eat.. dat can't be said in today's chuirches... the pastors of today are richer than those who pay the tithes.. initially God made tithing a law becos those levite priests were hungry |

ZoneBslayer:u stil have not answered the question. did JESUS endorse tithing in that passage or anywhere in the new testament? coz sabinus like u will stil be the ones to quote IIcor 9:7 in one of ur evangelism sessions, yet stil claim tithing is very necessary for this and that..or this and that will not happen. now lemme help u dissect Matthew 23:23 with respect to the emboldened in ur comment 23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. P.S: what i emboldened in the bible verse above is to clarify to u that jesus alredi stated that the tithing he referred to is subjected to the law alone(jewish customs), this is why he never endorsed it anywhere in that bible with u. the pharisees were bound by the law, the essence of jesus' coming and the new testament is to deliver us from the curse of the law, wherein we were to do some things as jewish tradition demands(i.e necessities such as this same tithing). Ppl like nicodemus was reportedly faithful with the law, yet jesus said he must be born again. This is to say that his redemption goes way beyond his observance of obsolete jewish customs. contrastingly, most yahoo boi pastors enslave ur conscience to tithing as if without it, you are finished. young man, this means u are stil bound by the law, which the grace of God allegedly is to redeem us from. This is the essence of IIcor9:7 and other parts of the new testament that advises us to give voluntarily, atleast to provoke God's blessings on us. READ YOUR BIBLE!!! |
