Sister, you have paid your 'tithe'. God will bless you 1000 times more for that act of kindness than if you had paid the money to your church ( so called ). You are right but do you know that the tithe that Israel paid was in food? Only when the place to deposit the food was too far were they to turn it to money? It is also not discussed by many that there is a part of tithe that is to buy whatever they like and consume it. I can provide the passages for anyone interested. The objective of tithe is to provide for the poor and the levies as well as bring joy to the family consuming products they desire. https://www.tithing.com/blog/reason-why-israel-only-tithed-food/ |

Fiscus105: Please, don't be ignorant and heretic! How is Tithe for God??! Does He delight in the fats of bulls and rams, or does he spend currency?!! Tithe was simply an instruction given to the Israelites/Jews in order for the non working Levites to have a portion from the storehouse. We no longer have Levites (this is Biblical)...! No one is expressly called to "Full-time" ministry or directed to claim Levite in order to feed off Tithes. This is why we now have a shocking proliferation of churches and ministries where people now claim to be full-time clergymen meant to do nothing but be fed and clothed off the backs of working believers under the threat of Divine damnation! 1 Like |

ptoall: Pastors are not levites Pastors are not levites Pastors are not levites The bible is clear, priests are to be descendants of the priest of levi. See Leviticus 21:1-24 Lets stop this deception Give other reasons for tithes please but skip this abeg. |

when the pharisees saw his disciple plucking ears of corns from the farm on sabbath day, they accused them and say they are not supposed to do that. But Jesus told them, that even David and his soldiers went into the temple and ate the shew bread that was meant only for the priest. He said, God desire mercy above sacrifice. He desire we treat each other more than we try to bribe him. The same thing he said when Samuel spoke to Saul and said obidient is better than sacrifice. 1 Like |

ptoall:where exactly did levites transformed into pastor? All the disciples preached without collecting a dime as tithe. When needs arises, the church contributes "every man according to his ability" But here you are creating your own levites and bringing innocent children under the yoke. God will judge everyone for all this wrongful teachings 2 Likes |

You shouldn't even be paying tithe. We don't have livites now. Tithing is of the old testament for the wefare of livites who were not allowed to do any other work apart from the work of God in the sanctuary. |

Brooktrader: Melchizedek was not a church. Is there an instruction in the bible saying you must take you tithe to church? Did I say she should not take the tithe to church because the church is not what it was? Did you even read? |

Deuteronomy 14 22 to the end. You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year. 14:23 And you shall eat before the Lord your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always. 14:24 But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the Lord your God has blessed you, 14:25 then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses. 14:26 And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household. 14:27 You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you. 14:28 “At the end of every third year you shall bring out the tithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates. 14:29 And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do. |

blink: Don't let anyone confuse you, you have done the right thing in my own opinion. Jesus once said as long as you help others who are in need, then you have done his will. As for me you are on course, I do that alot,infact my 2022 first quarter 1/10th was donated to homeless people. I know how much God has bless me with this year alone for that singular acts. They twist alot of Bible passage with different connotations in Naija all in the name of God,but not so here,Infact the church send me letter detailing all my tithe and contributions for the entire year to file for my taxes at year end. Just be at peace with your self |

ptoall: Levite were not allowed to work in those days but today you find either the pastor or his wife has other source of income. My church for example the pastor's wife is a nurse. Any need met in the name of the Lord whether it's with your tithe or not is always rewarded. I wonder why you people only stick to Malachi when it comes to tithe... Una no dey see other scriptures like Deuteronomy 14:28 and other scriptures. |

It is better to help someone actually in need rather than fattening the pastors who are richer than you are and will end up using your tith to buy more private jets for the nuclear famy pleasure. You did very well. God bless U. |

That's correct The essence of the tithe is to lift the poor whom pastors in churches could easily identify but if an individual can also discern them then that's fine |
