truthislight: A man who used cunning to steal from the people by appealing to their conscience for offering and thought since he is not preaching tithes he is ok... is the biggest greed propagator |

potentpraise: i've read it and i asked you to expatiate on Deut 14:22-29, you refused.there is also the functions of the levites and priests that made it imperative for them to receive tithes and offerings in Num 18 and i also begged you to check it up but you did not. Until you study them and ruminate over them,you might not understand ABOLITION OF THE PRIESTHOOD for which tithes was established. for the records, according to Rom 15:25-27, 1Cor16:1-3, 2Cor 8:1-15, 2Cor 9:1-12 i affirm that giving as enunciated by Paul was solely for the purpose of helping poor and Needy christians primarily @ Jerusalem.It was NEVER done as a religious rite.call it offering,contribution,charity or whatever.It was simply a ONE OFF welfare contribution for THE POOR,not for A PASTOR OR A PRIEST. |

Candour: One i think you might be mis-quoating yourself. I don't have that luxury time answering your question, one in part, you might find it hard understanding it, since your mind might not be receptive under a high volatile assumption of the scripture. Also i think you are misplacing fact with content of your scriptural text given. Here in Mark 6: 7-8, Jesus was sending out his disciples and instructing them not to take money with them and food, can you tell me where you want them to get food if not from the people they were to preached the word of God to? 7 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; 8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: In another passage Luke 10:3-6 He said the same thing 3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. 5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. 6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. Also look at Jesus instruction again to his disciples Matthew 6:25-28 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: You must have thought that the disciples would have died of hunger.. But Jesus knows that if they were accepted and the peace of God rest in the house, the people will surely give them food, money, cloths and anything needed for their needs and not for their wants... Finally to buttress my point that the maintanance of pastors, i meant those that are faithful in his service are to be sustained by the church, the people, i mean church members through tithes and offering... Look at Jesus here eating with with someone he was about to preach the gospel of christ to.. Mark 2:13-17 13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. 14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. 15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? 17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Tithess and offering was not abolished, rather the new commandment that was abolished was updated.. The commandments are thou shall not the commandment on kill for kill and eye for an eye in old---is now you shall forgive 70 X 70.. and if someone slap your right cheek turn the left cheek is the new commandment thou shall not convert your neighbor wife, in old ---- fornication and adultery is bad in new testament thou shall not serve any other God beside me,in old ---- in new it is thou shall love the lord they God with all thy heart thou shall not maltreat your servant... --- thou shall love thy neighbor Though shall offer your sacrifice of burnt, peace, sin offerings in old--- --Pray without season and pray for forgiveness, sing psalm and songs to God-- Psalm 22:3 God inhabit the praise of his people--And we can see paul and Silas pray and sing songs Priest of Aaron the old---- Jesus the new priest Thithes and offering in the old---- Give alms and as it was written in many places you quoated including Matthew 6:1-2 when jesus was commanding his disciples how to give alms in secret not openly Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. The commandment is updated and therefore also mean its abolished... If this does not convince you, there is nothing that will and your other believers of tithes abolition |

Go and work, remove ur eyes from ppl monies. God bless u. lol my fascinating pastor Here is what tithes is to be used for in that passage you failed to read to the end: 28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: 29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest. The levite and member of the church, community, stranger, orphan in the church and outside and they shall eat with the tithes.. meaning that money should be given to them if they need to pay their rent, eat food, buy cloths, sustain their family, get them work etc .... That is the same thing that the alms that is inform of offering which is also tithes i was telling you about is used and should be used for.. No one is advocating for eating the money and no God fearing pastor will take the money and live large on it |

You guys are just re-establishing my point that tithes and arms and also know as offering is the same and if its was not abolished by the law you mentioned, then tithes are not. If you call tithes greed, what do you call arms and offering collected... i guess greedy? |

potentpraise:thank you very much my brother, i dont want to get into how tith is used because tithing is a BIG ERROR in christianity, especially for those practicing it out of sincere ignorance and we know ignorance is never an excuse. But for those who know but collect tith because of greed its a sin. Christ said 'i"f you knmw the truth, the truth shall make you free". There is no LEVITE in christianity because christianity is not the continuation of jewdaism, Christ was not 'ordained' or did not recieve his priesthood from the then high priest(s) who were ofcourse of the levitical/Aeronous priesthood, again Christ was not from the family of Levi but from Judah so Christ priesthood was like 'a stand alone' not conected at all with levitical/Aeronous priesthood thats why the book of Hebrews described it as a priesthood 'after the order of' Melchizedeck, in other words, 'just like the priesthood of Melchizedeck'. Now the question will be, what was Melchizedeck's priesthood like? Among others it was like this- 1. No begining , no end. 2. He was not ordain by man. 3. He did not hand over to anybody. 4. He did not offer animal sacrifice for himself or anybody. Etc etc etc etc. There is no levite in christianity, Christ is our high priest and all christians are priests- Peter2:9, Rev:1, pls stop collecting tiths, its robbery. Ur blessed. 1 Like |

potentpraise: Exactly the point @potentpraise.check through all the verses you quoted,YOU'LL NEVER FIND TITHES.That's what we've been saying since.No one ever said to starve pastors or not to give to them but what the gospel of grace of our lord Jesus Christ is against is dictating 10% to the children of God.Apostle Paul sustained himself by his tent making(Acts 18:3 and Acts 20:33-35) and when he was arrested and awaiting trial,he received gifts(NOT TITHES) from some churches notably the Philipian church.Apostle Peter and Apostle James were nourished by the churches but it wasn't by tithes(i'm sure you know this) since they didn't belong to the tribe of levi and they were still operating in Jerusalem as jews(Acts 15:1-7, Acts 21:20). Apostle Paul though he didn't insist on pay however made a case for payment of church leaders even elders(1Tim 5:17-18) but please TITHE was not mentioned as source of this payment.If your church members agree to give you their entire salary,by all means let them do it from a willing heart.however you'll need to examine your conscience as a pastor if you consider the gospel as a business that should enable you live like the CEO of a secular enterprise.You came into this world with nothing and you're going with nothing.If you want a bling bling life,get a job in a multinational or join politics and stop burdening christians redeemed by the blood of the lamb. Stop threatening God's children with devourers and hell fire by quoting Mal 3:8-10.We are gentile christians saved by Grace and not children of isreal under Mosaic law(obligated to feed levites). I enjoy the civility of this discussion,pls let's keep it that way. God bless you plenty |
