Who Should Get My Tithe - The Church Or The Poor? by danduchi(m): 1:51pm On Sep 27, 2015
It felt so right giving it to the poor and deformed. The Bible says we should give it to the Church, but these less fortunate are God's children, right? And as the song goes, "whatsoever you do, to the least of my brothers, you do onto me". So who should the tithe be given to?

How much is your tithe that makes you think it will have impact on a poor person's life Afterall, It is 10 percent and unless you work in the top top posts, it isn't too substantial. However, If you and other Christians in your drop that 10 percent, it becomes very substantial indeed. Now, your church forwards part of the money to the HQ; Use some for the upkeep of the church and, believe it or not, actually use the remaining for Charity! That's the honest truth bro...........

I am yet to come across one single scripture in the whole bible that remotely even begins to suggest we tithe of our income to the church or pastor. Not even the often touted malachi 3:10 suggests that except you twist and misapply the verse.

I am firmly in support of tithe but your post is very very silly. What can't 10% of one's income do in a poor person's life? You don't need to work in 'top top posts'. If I collect 100k as salary, 10k is enough to make a difference. Little drops of water form the mighty ocean. Or are you insinuating the church will give one poor person 200,000 because everyone has contributed their 10% together? Pfft!!! No be only one poor person the church go use the tithe of many to help.

You are very wrong, monetary wages existed in the bible as far back as the book of genesis. Abraham had over 300 servants whom he paid wages and he also bought a piece of land with money as documented in the book of genesis. Monetary tithe from income doctrine is a modern day invention that was started in america just 120 years ago.

If the poor get it their body is ministerd to, if the church get she is supposed to minister to both the body and soul of the poor. So do the judgement.

I suggest you read the link below to enlighten you of how the tithe is illegal nd should exist in the christian world.

#note: it's very lenghty, but reading it will free your mind from the burden placed by fraudulent preachers.

"But if that
place is too distant and you have been blessed
by the LORD your God and cannot carry your
tithe (because the place where the LORD will
choose to put his Name is so far away), then
exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver
with you and go to the place the LORD your God
will choose. Use the silver to buy whatever
you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented
drink, or anything you wish.


Notice the part below

Then you and your
household shall eat there in the presence of the
LORD your God and rejoice."




The bible didn't say take money to the temple, it only said convert whatever you have to money for easier carriage if you live far from the temple, and when you get there, use the money to buy whatever food or beverage you like and eat it there with your household. The bible didn't say you should give pastors money, so stop being scammed.

The verse below proves that people were already earning salaries(wages) as far back as when the tithe law was given.

Deut 24:15
Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poor and are counting on it. Otherwise they may cry to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

i guess you misunderstood me...please try to see the "subject matter" before rebutting...
my response to that guy was because he said there was no exchange using money or payment of wages during the time of the law according to Deuteronomy 14:22-29 ...and i provided answers in that respect...
If you know me well enough on the religion section,you should know am a non-tither...and that we have been blessed to freely give from our heart without compulsion ...
