I have two source of income, one as monthly salary the other as daily hustle, the daily hustle is not really my personal basket, its a kind of commission and dividend, I pays my tithe faithfully form the monthly income, I just observed that only the monthly pay stays stable, the other daily income has a question mark, now I have decided to pay tithe from there no matter what, the in thing is do what you believe and leave another to what he does, BTW it is written " be it unto thee according to thy believe" if I got it right. |

lyvin: Greed is the word. Imagine this same guy saying that tithe is not meant to be given to the poor. Shocking statement coming from a Christian. I guess Jesus must have right when said that the rich( in this case,greedy conmen) shall take from the poor and add to whatever they already had. 3 Likes |

christemmbassey: Edidem, i am a born,baptised,confirmed Catholic. I don't believe in tithing and the only time i was fine tuned like a television searching for frequency to start paying was when i was invited to Living faith church aka Winners chapel last year and i was made to understand that tithing open doors to financial blessing and i did that for 6 months but the door wasn't opened. People even understand this tithing differently. In winners,i was made to understand that it should be 10% of anything you are blessed with be it financial or material meaning that if i should be blessed with a car gift,i should value that car and pay 10% of it as tithe not necessarily at the end of the month as a salary earner. So i had no choice than to buy an exercise book and prepared well for it like a chartered accountant trying to get his accounts well balanced. But to cut the long story short,i decided to carefully study the bible and read a lot about it and discovered that it isn't in the new testament. I believe in contributing massively to the things of the church and even when doing so,i select the church i put my God given money but not for one pastor to tax my money all in the name of paying 10% tithe. I also have passion for assisting the needy,sick,orphanage,etc and not to throw money around like a foolish man. 5 Likes |

Eyop:Jesus was right when he said in jn8:32, "and the truth shall make you free...." I thank God for ur freedom from d scaming commandment of men. Two incidents happened dat jolted me and forced me to take a serious study of dis tithe fraud. Some 4, 5yrs ago in my former church, a sister asked this, "assuming you were on ur way to pay tithe and u met a life and death situation, is it good to use d tithe to save dat life then latter, u can look for money and pay d tithe or u should allow d person to die bc tithe is holy and u must not touch". To this one of d dishonest pastors there said u must not touch d tithe bc its holy unto God.. Another one was when a pastor returned sm1 tithe, claiming dat holyghost instructed her to return d envelope bc d tithe was not complet. These forced me to asked so many questions, take a closer look at tithe teaching and was very suprised at what is in d word of God about tithing, and i also realised dat, if i must tithe to recieve house, car, wife/children, health, peace, safety, security etc, to me Christ died for nothing, i'm, like Esau, whom d bible called 'a profane person', bc, he abandoned a thing of eternal value and went for 'garri and soup'. Today as a paster, i enjoy so much frefom in the Spirit, bc i preach only Christ and him crucified. I travel for crurades and take material things with me to give with t word of God. I makes d work of God so sweet when you don't have to sell anything. God is not a trader or money dobble, he's rich enough to longspanroof my heavenly mansion he does not need nairas, dollas or pound sterlings. Abasi odu ya fo, eyeneka. 3 Likes |

Am sure the person that posted this didn't see the bottom part that said "these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others " pls does this "others" not include tithe. Also if you remember the issue of temple tax, where christ said he was not supposed to pay because he is the son of God and used an instance of kings and princes, i feel that was actually tithe. |

God help us! I dont know why Christians find it difficult to give. I am yet to find a place in the bible that talks about Christians not to pay tithe (pls share if you have any scripture in mind). The Scriptures can not be interpreted with wordly wisdom, neither can it be understood if the HolySpirit did not guide you through. Nobody is forcing anyone to pay tithe, if you are not conviced, don't pay, read and study the bible on tithing, then pay if you are convinced. It's not your duty to confuse people not to pay tithes because you are not convinced paying tithes. 10% is not too much for God, and the 10% will not make you die before the end of the month. You are expected to pay 10% of your increase/income. I don't expect a person that doesnt work/ have business/have not received any gifts to pay tithe like the OP has said. God does not need your money, it is His house that needs it. Moreover, if you don't give you are only dealing with your self, u don't expect d blessings of tithes to work for you when you don't pay it 1 Like |

Re: Understanding The Concept of Tithing by NobleG1(m): 8:46pm On Nov 02, 2014 |
Few religious behaviors make sense to me, but Tithing is especially interesting. Objectively, even if there was a God I can't imagine why he would ever require money... but I do understand that a church needs money to function. However a shared responsibility amongst followers to support the church is distinctly different from a preacher telling the congregation that "all blessings come from sown seeds", which is specifically what I have heard many preachers say. This line of thinking perverts taking money from often poor people even further. The members now are essentially investing money for future returns in the form of "blessings" as though Jesus is also acting as a holy stock broker. Even more disturbing, already tight for money, people couldn't be more eager to give away the little that they have. The only intention of these pastors is to extort money from id*iots who believe every lies they come up with and I find this methodology to be despicable and dishonest. I sometimes wonder all pastors aren't just intentionally full of BS with intentions to manipulate or if they do indeed believe what they are selling. 2 Likes |

pls am a student and I want to tithe but my big question is,the bible talks about paying tithe from your income and as a student I have not yet started earning income so how do I pay as a student or are student not qualified to pay? |
Re: Understanding The Concept of Tithing by Eyop: 9:21pm On Nov 02, 2014 |
lookingfly: Go and ask your pastor because i don't think you will get an accurate answer on this thread. As a student, you can as well pay 10% from your school fees,pocket money,etc if you don't mind. |
