tpacalipse: I believed in it and I paid before. Then I stopped believing in it and refused to pay. Guess what? I have never seen any changes in anything. I progress gradually just as it used to be when I was paying. Though I still pay some kinds of money in church these days, even sometimes if what I pay is 10 percent of my income, I will never call it tithe.

As for the motive? Look at it this way; I attend my church every time I have to be there and these are the things I enjoy:
1. The church runs on generator for power all the times, and this cost money.
2. It costs money to get the church premises cleaned all the time.
3. It costs money to maintain a lot of gadgets in the church
4. It costs money to pay salaries to those who work at the church, e.g. the guy who plays the keyboard and the priests.
5. It costs money to do a little charity work.

These are my motives for paying some money at church.

Now, I do not see my God as a money doubler!

InvertedHammer:

Wouldn't it be fair for pastors to state that they need money for all these things instead of
threatening the congregation with hell if they refuse to f.ck over their 10% to the leeches.

Yeah. As if the pastors hold the keys to heaven or hell. Pastors themselves are not even
guaranteed of going to heaven. How in the world do people believe these clowns?

This is heresy and witchcraft at its peak.

zidex: If you call ur self a true born again child of God living and being directed by de spirit of Christ in you, you won't be asking dis question. Well if you must know tithing is a commandment from God dat with blessings when you pay nd a cause when you don't pay. Tithe belongs to God. It is not urs nd so it is not a seed, offering, or free will donation. Mal.3:8-12 unequivocally stated dat if you don't pay tithe (1/10) of everythin you earn, you are a THIEF or even worse a ROBBER. Remenber all thieves nd robbers have there place in HELL? BE WARNED!! LET THAT HAVE EARS HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS SAYING. Finally it's ur choice to choose blessings or causes.

Candour:

Dear sis, any bible verse to support the above assertion?

mimicue:

Malachi 3:8-10 (blessings promised to those who pay tithe)

mimicue: Paying tithing is a sacred privilege. When we pay tithing we show gratitude for all that God has given us and return to Him a portion of what we have received

Bidam:

This shouldn't be an arguement thread as stipulated by the OP and you 're making it so,another disobedience of rules.

We can discuss it in so many of the tithe threads "your friends" have opened,posted and argued on.

FMK: in OT the tithe idea from God appeared when they got out of the egypt and room to a new land. during the journey, the israel people had to worship and serve God and there was some task reserved only for some chosen persons and not doing other personal onr individual job, out of temple Job. those persons especially are from levi family there were musicians ancients etc... serving the temple, they have no time to exercise their personal job to earn their lives because they were chosen to the temple service, so God gave an order to all people to give the ten part of their revenue to support those people working in the temple. from their appeared the idea of tithe

ajayikayod:

Ds is not an arguement clearly. I just want to to attest dt u support wat d Op said. I came out clearly dt it is heresy and witchcraft, wat is ur stand? When dt is clear, then i can know wat to do next.

On ur disobeying d rules! I think it ll b a great idea for u to become an Admin. At least u ll hav all privilegde to delete, block or ban me from NL but till then let d admins do thr work and correct, u enjoy being an ordinary member. Tanx.

Bidam: Am not the ones who made the rules.I can understand your sarcasm.But it is too bad,you and other posters did not post on the topic at hand. And i still maintain my stand on rules of the forum.Thanks.

Candour:

But sis, see what you wrote earlier. Mal 3:8-10 says nothing about what you wrote below.



Kindly show any verse in scriptures that supports all you wrote in that quote.

Thanks
