The best you would have done is to say a word or two to her not bringing it to nairaland

lonikit:
do u even knw its purpose

betterABIAstate:
then quote the Bible verse that supports giving tithe for prosperity to a man who's not a levite.

PS: Abraham case is not normative and was a lawless era

Tithing is meant for the poor in our midst fine!
When you start talking about wealthy pastors do you bother checking their backgrounds?
Some of them came from poor homes (does that put them in the levites class) and were sponsored by the church.
When you talk about the properties they acquire do you bother looking for the good/generous things they've done? Do you think about the scholarships they've given? Do you talk about the Junior pastors they pay?
Do you even think of how much some of then put into the church both financially, spiritually and physically before the church grew to that extent?

Must you assume every pastor depend on your tithes and offerings? Some of them have their own businesses that fetch them money.

BTW do you really think pastors don't deserve a good life like every other church member?
Are there not people in your church who are richer than your pastor? Do you talk about them the way you talk about pastors?

Now I'm officially done with this tithing issue on this thread

lonikit:
u are just quoting wrongly. u are dodging question. it sims u are a pastor or wife of a pastor.

the question is that based on why God instituted tithe. are modern pastors qualify to receive tithe.

please I'm not a pastor neither am I a pastors wife in fact I don't intend to be any.

lonikit:
as a Christian, anytin you cannot trace to Christ or find in him is not advisable to do. he is the author and finisher of our faith which means, he is everything abt Christianity.

I understand that

lonikit:
study the book of numbers and Deuteronomy, u will understand who are levites

I replied someone on this already

lonikit:
the tenth of ur blessings. and it is meant for
1 Numbers 18:24-26 KJV
But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the Lord , I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

2Deuteronomy 14:28-29 KJV
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.

so tell me, are modern pastor qualify to receive tithe

Does paying tithe stop you from helping the poor?
My church does its best to help the poor through the word of God, encouragement and financially

So what's left?

betterABIAstate:
seriously, you cannot find any Bible verse to defend tithing in the current dispensation, unless you want to twist it

why would I want to twist the Bible?
I tithe simple!

ALL THESE ARE COINED BY CHRISTIANS, ESPECIALLY AFRICANS TO PROMOTE LAZINESS.

GO TO CHINA ON SUNDAY, I SWEAR THERE'S NO SINGLE LOCKED STORE OR INDUSTRY / FACTORY ON SUNDAY. EVERYONE THERE IS WORKING DAILY, INCLUDING YOUR FELLOW NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS.

I think you have issues with comprehension

Byko899:
it simply means giving to God the tenth of what he has blessed you with

did the Bible say it's compulsory to pay tithes?

lonikit:
my sis, it all depend on ur understanding of the post. I only clarified tithing based on wht somebody posted earlier today that Jesus supported it by doin the analysis of the portion he quoted.

the fact is dat Jesus never paid or preached it. he instructed his disciples when he was leaving the world that they shud go into the world and do two tinx: preach and baptize those that believe. tithing was nt there.

do u know wht zacchaeus said bfr he pronounced salvation upon him
check it out pls

dont be decieved, no pastor is qualify to receive tithe based on the law of levite. offering is highly acceptable based on the teaching of Christ and the apostles.

my pple perished for lack of knowledge not for the lack of Holiness.
it is time to preach against the selective teaching of the word

you people keep talking about the Levites

Who are the Levites?

SmartchoiceNGR:
Unfortunately for you... I believe in tithing but not as it is currently practiced. The first Christians practiced free will sacrificial giving... Not tithing. The veil of your temple has been torn hence no need for the high priest anymore... Christ is the only high priest needed. Thus levites are no longer in existence... Because most claiming to be levites own enormous amounts of properties which negates the Bible. Remembering the story of the rich man whom Christ told to sell his riches..

My question to you is how do these new order levites acquire enormous amounts of property and still see the poor among the congregation who are struggling to pay tuition, rent, medical expenses and so on and so forth!

SmartchoiceNGR:
Read Deuteronomy 14:22 to the end.

Now you're talking about the poor in our midst, I don't know how its done in your church but in the church I grew up there's a scholarship scheme for orphans and some of the poorest

The church I attend now, many rich individuals(church pastor inclusive) take care of the needs of SOME of the poor (even though there's no order from the church for them to do so)

I've heard of people getting jobs from fellow church members. The church organise programs like "back to school" "shop for free" for the poor
What more?

adepeter2027:
Like we give a fvck about god.

Like you've rendered any meaningful response to the thread and besides, last I check, it's not by force as well to quote someone and spew jargon.


Lmaooo

The way you guys praise god and ridicule him is mind boggling and astonishing.

So he should connect to a god who is claimed to be omnipresent? Do you know what omnipresent is? Lmaoooo

Like god is network signal that fails and reconnect like GLOBACOM NG

Hahahahahahaha

So we have to connect to a omnipresent and omnipowerful god who's everywhere?

Chaiii

Christians sef

I've met intelligent atheists and they'd never say the kind of trash you said, in other words you're a lost soul

I'd answer your question but I just need you to answer this

What does the word"tithing " mean to you?

But we also need rest

How can you work Monday to Saturday and still decide to work on Sunday, if you think you're strong enough to work on Sundays then its fine

God won't accept gifts made from diabolical means

oga there's nothing diabolic about betting

lonikit:
no body is saying u can't use ur money the way u like. we are just showcasing wht the bible says abt tithing besides, offering and tithe are two diff tinx.

pls dont be offended sis.

I totally understand but would you want to deny that the reason you're doing this is to convince people to stop tithing?

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYERS
TO WHOM? OR TO WHAT?



I WONDER WHY YOU ALL JUST DON'T WANT TO REALIZE THAT THERE ARE MANY GODS KNOWN TO MAN, AND YOU'RE CLOSER TO YOURS BECAUSE OF GEOGRAPHY AND YOUR FAMILY.


I'M SURE YOUR GOD IS THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE GOD.
THERE'S NO CHANCE HE'S THE ONE TRUE GOD. THAT'S WHY YOUR ANCESTORS NEEDED TO BE ENSLAVED AND MURDERED, AND FORCED TO ACCEPT HIM.

THE TRUE GOD WOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED VIOLENCE TO PROVE HIS OR HER WORTH.

Yes He believes in the God the bible talks about, do you have any problems with that?
If you cant help him get what he wants just say it and leave the thread quietly, nobody forced you to type

@ Kalvoken the first step towards praying is trying to connect with God. Now ask yourself what makes you connect to God? Couldn't be music, reading the bible or chtistain books or even watching Christian movies

I thought Islam was a religion of peace

lonikit:
u are one of those that believe ur pastor more than Jesus Christ who is ur saviour. and tomoro u will say u want to be like Christ. Africans are gullible web it comes to religion.

what Christ never preached or did should not be encouraged if truely we are his followers.

Oga its my money and I am very free to give to the kingdom of God and to the needy.

Abi does paying tithes stop you from helping the poor?

SmartchoiceNGR:
Open where the bible used the word pay for tithes and I will shut up!


Not the words of the Bible are carefully selected.

I'm not one to start quoting Bible pages up and down for someone who's mind is already made up besides I believe you're an adult so you're free to decide if you want to pay or not afterall its your money.

If you don't want to pay your tithes just keep quiet and allow others to pay. You can't force your beliefs on others

It's funny how some of you deceive yourselves by saying you'd rather give to the poor than to the kingdom of God but when you see the poor you close your eyes and when you see people raising funds online you quickly scroll past

So where's the confirmation now?
That ring has been on her right finger for some time now
All these busy body people

Wow


And she's someone's future wife and someone's mother
No wahala

Who is this Mr.jollof sef

What is wrong with the lady?

The guy begged her not to rub it on his face and she went on to post screenshots of the chats


I wonder what she is feeling like

Madam please don't generalise it

Nice

Hmmm

When we thought we've seen it all

Anyway they say love is blind

Hope it's not another avenue to loot public funds

Nothing new
