From my own view, its nt wrong giving ur tithe to the poor bt...from the begining tithe was alocated to the Levites(Priest). Becus they ar nt expectd to work much jst as we are. tithes are meant to be paid into d church and if the church decides to use it in helping the poor, fine. Bt if nt that is where the priest feed from (tithe) especially those that are nt yet financialy strong. 4 u to use ur tithe to gve 2 d poor, is part of goodnes bt nt adhearing 2 instructn. Tnx 4rm malocity! |

Ashmark: How many of you real give money that worth 10% of your income to the poor?Did the widow in the temple give 10%? Try explaining what this part of the bible means especially the bolded 2cor 9:7 Every man according to his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. 1 Like |

thelastPope:thank you for this well spoken truth. matt 5:18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. If this verse validate the tithe law why not the others that they claim Christ nailed to the cross? "NOT THE SMALLEST" |

Fhemmmy: Consciously or unconsciously you have made a fundamental point! God's word is not vindicated by results. That something seemingly turn out right doesn't mean it is approved of God. Moses struck a rock instead of speaking to the rock as God commanded and the interesting thing is that while water still came out, God was angry with Moses and refused him entry to the promised land. God requires obedience from us, not acting in sentiment and trying to please him our own way. If he says pay tithe, then we pay it. If he didn't say, then we don't pay. Anyone who does it for any other reason is on their own. As far as the new testament goes, God never asked us to pay tithe. If he wanted us to do it, he would have said so. He even asked us to give and asked us to do many other things to numerous to write down, but he never asked us to pay tithe. That's the truth of God's Word! 1 Like |

Hebrews 7:4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. Abraham paid tithes from the spoils of war, not his money/wealth. You can read Hebrews 7 for more on the priesthood of Melchisedec and that of Jesus. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. If Jesus said the above, why then do i still have to pay tithes so that i can be "blessed"? 2 Likes |

thelastPope:Don't mind the yeye guy. From what I read from deu 22; tithing can be giving to the poor, widows, strangers among us and can also stand as a kind of love feast among brethens in the presence of the lord (when 2 or more are gathered in the name of the almighty God). |

cuteonyii: since we have so many bad roads, poor electricity, no good health..etc. and the gvnt is not doing much to better our lifes in the society. should we stop paying govnt tax and instead use the money to help the society as little and much as we can? It is Good to obey all the Law. Wrong to select what to and what not to practice by twisting Apostle Pauls letters. |

Malocity: From my own view, its nt wrong giving ur tithe to the poor bt...from the begining tithe was alocated to the Levites(Priest). Becus they ar nt expectd to work much jst as we are. One thing I have realised is that God's people no longer study the scriptures. Bible study has been outsourced to "men of God" by most people. Please get a copy of the bible and read it. Pleeeaaassseee! The priests and levites are not the same. The levites are a tribe. The priests are a family from the tribe, Aaron's family. The children of Israel never paid tithes to the priests, they paid tithes to the levites. It was the levites that were instructed to pay tithes from their own tithes, to the priests. The priests in the old testament never paid tithes. The old testament priest is not the same as the new testament pastor or "man of God". Every Christian in the new testament is a priest. 1 Like |

Goshen360: @ OP, And on the basis of this grace is were our salvation is, for now we do not live by the law but we live only by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone (Gal 3) the law is fulfilled in Christ for he said, I have not come to condemn the law but to fulfil it. So we do not live under the law but under grace, now in givin to the poor and needy the apostles encourage us not to forsake the poor among us, it is your responsiblity to give to the poor as lead by God, we give not because we expect a reward even though they are promised to every give but we give for the love of Christ for he commands that we have love for our neighbours just the way we do for ourselves, whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers same you do to me... I give not because i want to or because there is a promised blessing attached to given but because i can not quench the love in my heart 2 Likes |

manmade: Go and read the parable of the good samaritan and see what God has in stock for people like you. People like me? Interesting. The point here is what i have said from the start and it is what i am still saying that, it is good to do good, and if you look around, you will notice that Fhemmmy Motos always do his best to do his best, cos how could i love God i never see when i cant love those around me, however, the fact that you have refused to read from my comment is "MY TITHE IS NOT FOR ALMS, BUT TO GOD" but i will always make sure there is extra to help the needy. |

This paying of tithe has actually turned some people to zombies. Heartless and selfish One even said he would rather pay his tithe than give his mother the money to eat cos God will provide for her. Isn't that insane. Just so God can bless you, your mother can die of hunger. Why do people believe that its what they do that keeps them alive and well. We live by Gods grace always. The two greatest commands of Christ are Mt 22:36 “[Jesus], which is the great commandment in the law?” And he said to him, ’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.” Some of you are definately not practising christianity and I believe Christianity started with Christ. What you are practicing is your own selfish agenda . ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Why is this so hard to understand? Paying your tithe religiously from the day you were born till you die can never bring you close to the righteousness of people like Mother Theresa, Mama Ekundayo and others. Except you believe your salvation will be based on prosperity and wealth, rather than righteousness. And for all of you shouting obedience, can you kindly list all the other commandments in the old testament that you follow to the letter, pls just list 2. |

Re: Is It Wrong To Give Your Tithe To The Poor by Fhemmmy: 1:06am On Oct 18, 2012 |
Rooneyboy: We have addressed this on one of the pages, however, just to say it again just in case you never read it . . . You are more than free to give your money to whoever you want, but does that change the concept in tithing? If your beef is with the pastor that has jets and you would rather sit under a pastor with no shoes, by all means, you are free to - a church is never cult that you MUST be where you dont wanna be, feel free to worship and pay your "tithe" where you are happy that the pastor is hungry . . . however, the fact remains, a tithe is a tithe and alm is alm. |

xremmy: This paying of tithe has actually turned some people to zombies. Heartless and selfish I said it, so no need to use the 3rd party language here . . . I spoke with my mother pretty much often and her first question has always been, Son, are you faithful in your tithing? so i am glad i have a mother that understand and appreciates it, i was never a blver of tithing till i tried it and God has been great . . . tithe is tithe and no 2 ways about it . . . . |
