I totally disagreed with you.

God gave out eeverything he has, his only begotten son, for a sacrifice.

Abraham is about to do the same before God stops him.

I for one, has also given out my first whole salary before.

God is not interested about our 10 percent,

there are so many ways we can give to God.

Lots of people have given more that 10 percent, do you know how much i have been given to support the building of the church which my ten percent can never be able to achieved

tithe paying does not belong to the Christians,

today the church has Holyspirt, who will always remember us to give, every bornagain knows when to give and what to give and who to give, because of the presence of the Holyspirt in them.

Or can you tell me any of the disciple of Jesus that pays tithe
What if God didn't stop Abraham?? Won't he have killed Isaac!

God did not ask u to stop paying tithe.. He said u should so why not obey??

Giving out ones first whole salary is not a new thing. Some pples 5% exceeds it not to talk of 10%. And bragging bout wateva amount u gav to ur church is hypocritical.

Tithe paying belongs to Christians nd its one of d many ways u can give to God!

The Disciples didn't pay tithe because dey were not "working". There only job was to preach d gospel. Yet they stil sold their properties nd gav to d church. And atleast 10 of dem died for Christ. Wat ve u done for Christ dat will make pple wanna kill u??

When you give offering , do you pay it into the hands of God?
Oh! or you don't give offering , or maybe its old testament and has passed away.

How about when you unite couples in Holy matrimony, does God come down to join them?
Do they make their vows before the visible presence of God?
Or except God comes down to join them together, they're not married

When you have a bumper harvest, you can take the 1,000 tubers of yams or the 100 basket of tomatoes
directly to the alter ? you hear. It will be more convenient holding the up the church service, while
your labourers struggle to pile them all up at the alter.

You couldn't be serious! Where in the Bible talks about church service?... much less about the fruits holding up the service?... isn't the time supposed to be spent sharing the harvest among the poor? ...when did that change?...and your reference to Holy Marriage....did you ever read about that in the Bible?....and did the Bible not warn you about swearing/making vows? ....so standing before God and man and be swearing can never be Biblical or sanctioned by God. You're doing the work of Satan and but may not even know.

Re: 5 Sins Often Ignored By Christians Today by Amhappy(f): 9:16pm On Apr 03, 2016
Nobody is going to hell because of not paying tithe. Tithe is a condition for blessing not for salvation. Let's stop making a mockery of the price that was paid for our salvation. Please read the whole of Num18,Deut 14,Malachi 3. Read the whole chapter not one verse or two or quoting what the pastor told you. The Levites who are to collect these tithes are not to have inheritance among the people. A lot of false teachings are going around in the name of tithe. Tithe and offering attracts God's blessing but you can never buy salvation with your tithe even if you give 100% of your earnings.

fxx2:
but come to think of it, what can you give to God?
Besides, he demands of us more than just a material TITHE. And remember, we are people of the NEW TESTAMENT, not of old.

The Ten Commandments including 'Thou shall not lie' is in the Old Testament!

Why is it being followed??

Just because one is called Old nd The other New doesn't mean u must neglect everything in d Old Testament.

Most pple dnt get d meaning of the Old & New Testament. The Old Testament is wen u redeem ursef from sin wit stipulated number of goats,bullocks etc nd only a Holy Priest can speak/hear/pray to God nd mak enquiries on behalf of others!

The New Testament is a packaged opportunity for u to get closer with God. U sin.. go on ur kneels nd pray soberly. It's forgiven.. no goats or sin offering in church. U can speak/hear from God through d Holy Spirit. And a host of oda things... The Death of Christ was d price paid to get all this benefits. All this benefits are New nd that's wer d New Testament is named!

God doesn't demand anything from u than to obey Him.. in tithing,preaching,holiness & righteousness,giving etc nd in return He will give u "EVERYTHING YOU WANT"!

If I am saved, why do I still sin? Why do I have
such a problem with sin while I am here on
earth? Why am I still troubled with impure
thoughts? Why do I sometimes do what I know
is wrong? Why do I sometimes fail to do what I
know is right? Why do I continue to battle with
temptations?

A save man has TWO nature, Good and bad, the one you feed the most will dominate your life.

Listen friend, don't be misled; a servant has no two masters! You either discard one and face the other or vice versa. There's nothing like "a saved man has two natures; good and bad". That's heresy! A complete error!! What then is the essence of 2Cor5:17 they quote about? If any man be in Christ, he has become a new person, the old life is gone(sinful nature inherited from Adam), a new life has begun(the one Christ came to give us). This is the gist;

God made Adam in order to relate/fellowship/interact with him. But, that wasn't possible until He breath into Him the breadth of life(what made God to be God; The Life of God! His Spirit! His seed!)and man became a living soul; qualified to stand before the Almighty and relate. That is, when God sees Adam(man)He sees His Life/Nature/Spirit/Seed and not the flesh/body. Then, when Adam ate the forbidden fruit, he died(not a physical death, but, a Spiritual one)that is, the Spirit of God(which He breath into man)His Life/Nature/Seed departed from man. And man became empty and has noting that qualified him to relate/interact/fellowship with God. That's why he went and hid himself because he couldn't withstand the presence of God.


God in His mercy and benevolence, now made a provision; Life for life! He sent Jesus to the world(in form of man; Rom8:3b). Whosoever is born of a woman came with the sinful nature, that's why Jesus had to come through Mary. Jesus' death was an end to sinful nature(for as many as believe in Him; that He died and resurrected). We died with Jesus(He took our sinful nature with Him and were buried with Him)and we resurrected with Him(unto a new life/nature in the beginning); Colossians3:3. All you need is a thorough exposition. You shall KNOW the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE!

Then explain why after being born-again, after deciding to live a holy life, i still find myself doing what i hate, i still have impure thought, lust...

I can relate to what the other guy said: A save man has two nature, good and bad, The one you feed the most wil dominate your life.. Having been struggling with sin, the part he said the one you feed the most would dominate you.. My experience is that, when ever i have immoral thoughts coming to my mind, i still allow it to dwell in my head and feed on it, that is when i'll make that thought a reality. But i now know i shouldn't allow sin dwell nd dominate in my life nd thought, cos the more i allow it, the more it dominate my life

Now which other works does Jesus commanded his disciples to do apart from evangelism

When they sold all their belonging, do they devided it into ten and give one part to God

Even at that, hence you said they are not working, why did they not instructed their followers to pay tithe ?

Apostle Paul was the greatest among the disciples of Jesus, he even wrote most of the books yet he never emphasis on the payment of tithe. But he only talks about giving willingly and cheerfully.

Do you know there is a different between giving and paying


He said i was hungry you gave me no food, not you pay may no food or clothes.

Christians are not owning God any kobo, Jesus Christ has paid them all on the cross. And it is finish.

Therefore whosoever that is demanding any kobo from the Christians apart from the free will offering is nothing but a robber.

When you deceived people and asked them to pay what has already been paid, you are nothing but a thief and a robber.


I told you i have given my whole salary before and i have given greatly to the church freely and cheerfully but you said am a hypocrite, well i have forgiven you for that comment.

But my main reason of bringing that up here is to let you know that if i can do that, nothing will stop me from paying ten percent if it is still required by God.

Only God know the heart of everybody and he also know those who are worshiping him in truth and spirit.

Thank you.

The way out is the Holy Spirit. Read Galatians5:16-17. You need to format every worldly thing in your heart; devilish songs, films, pornography, ungodly friends, clubbing, partying, evil communications, bad companies, etc. Honestly, His Spirit helps our infirmity. And the only hope we have is His Grace. We are able to do His will because of His seed in us. 1John3:9 will help you a lot. What the other guy would have said is; we should feed, nurture and breed His seed in us. Just as we were babies and grew to be big, so also must we feed the Seed/Spirit of God in us into maturity!

Thanks for clarifying. But its really hard getting rid of ungodly frnds, infact in today's world if you say you want to make frnds with only God fearing people, u would end having no frnd at all. I just got to a new town, have been looking for frnds that can help my spiritual life grow, instead opposite is the case. Its just hard. How can a christian live in today's world, especially a youth...

By God's grace I'm below 30, so I can say categorically that I'm also a youth just like you. And the truth is, Jesus was also on this side Jordan and He knows what befalls us as youths. He knows the temptations and the high rate of atrocities orchestrated by youths. So, the good news is; Jesus knows all our problems and cares. We only need to say NO to sin. It's not been easy my dear; I've been a womanizer, drunkard, cheat, thief, club guy, etc..... Honestly, His grace is sufficient for us. That's our hope and confidence. How serious are you with God? How far are you ready to go with Him? Are you bothered about what people say or what your Creator says? Are you ashamed of the Kingdom? Maybe we could take this a step further from here....

Thank you.
Firstly... sorry for calling u a hypocrite cry

U re d one twisting d Bible. @Bolded.. dats exactly wat am saying. They didn't giv it to God directly buh gav it to d church.

Go nd read Hebrews 7:1-10. Lemme summarize it.

Abraham went to war nd he won nd took with him d properties of those he conquered. Wen he got back.. u knw wat he did? He paid tithe to Melchisedec the High Priest. He gav 10%.. wil u now say dat why didn't he pay it to God?? Ofcourse he paid it to God tru d Priest. And also Levi(priesthood family) also paid tithe because it is a law. Lemme copy it for you..

Hebrews 7
1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

This is d New Testament saying dat paying of tithes is a law in verse 5 nd also dat tithes re paid to d priest(Pastor) nd also that Levites(Men of God i.e Pastors) pay tithes too.

If Pastors collect tithes, then why do they pay tithes too? It's for God!!!

How can a christian live in today's world, especially a youth...
U can always make a difference.. be d special one among those frnds. During my Sec skul days... I was d only male Christian in my class.. nd nt up to 5 Christians in d whole Sss! I role wit frndz from Ss1 to Ss3 nd lemme assure u dat those guys re bad. Yet I still made a diff.. I was d first Christian headboy of my skul nd a role model to odas..

It got to a time I was nicknamed Mr Repent cos I role wit them but I dnt behave lik dem. Even d Muslim teachers will say it publicly dat they trust me more dan any1. Wen dis guys bring ideas.. they wil leave me out cos they knw I won't partake in it but yet we wer still best of frndz. A Muslim once told me dat I was d only Christian guy nd they all like me. How come??

My point is.. it depends on hw u package ursef.. d impression of u dat u let dem hav. Wen dey re sinning.. do u join dem or correct dem? Wen talking ungodly things.. do u join dem or leave d place.

U can survive in d midst of pple wu re not born again. U just ve to set it priorities right nd let dem knw ur stands. U can do all things tru Christ's help. I didn't do it alone.. I hav God with me. U can too.
