Christians are more afraid of being poor than making heaven hence the insurance (scam) they call tithe and of course the so called god of men are smilling to the bank.

Happy tithing!

tonytony208:


The scriptures support tithe. Not just tithes, but tithes and offering.

Will you say politics is wrong because politicians play it dirty?

In the same way, tithe payment can't be said to be wrong just because pastors spend it wrongly.

it's still not enough reason to call him antichrist. Did our Lord and saviour Jesus Chrust pay or collect tithes. Did the Apostles aslo receive tithes??. Tithe in Christianity is a scam!!!

frosbel2:
Paying tithes is like pouring money down a black hole because in 99% of cases it is not used for the welfare of PEOPLE with REAL NEEDS, it is used to build empires for crooks masquerading as men of god and further what in their opinion, is the gospel or perhaps the kingdom of God. In addition they spend the money on their needs and that of their families, friends , cronies, girl friends etc.

Besides paying tithes is not biblical.

Study ur bible bro....... Not reading

[quote author=slimmax post=46505549
Please read through to 7:13 and understand[/quote]Hebrew 7:1-26 talks abt Jesus who receives our tithe n keeps record .Verse 8 specifically talks about Jesus- and here men that die receive tithes;but there He receiveth them,of whom it is witnessed that He liveth. From my experience there are churches u pay tithe to yet u wont receive any blessing while some that same day u paid in d tithe u start experiencing blessings from diff angles.Dont let d Devil rob u of dis blessing.Speak to d Holy Spirit n let Him direct on tithing n how to pay it to experience this blessing, Simple!

U jut totally missed it. Paying tithes and offerings is biblical. Both tithe and offering have their respective functions in d ministry; and paying such have their attendant blessings.q

Going to church is the most important. Always try to be in chyurch

why

Blackberrybabes:
I am not a regular Church goer. Infact it's been more than a year since I stepped into any church. But one thing I don't joke of is my tithe. I pay that regularly and do that randomly to churches around me.

And when it comes to giving offerings, I am one of the most generous young guy you can meet. I give alms bountifully and pay some young people's school fees.

Now my question is. Are my tithes and offering acceptable to God since I don't worship in any Church.

You are just like corlineus in the Bible Acts 10, however one thing is needed your relationship with God matters more than your financial commitment. Yes tithing offering is very good.
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. Mathew 23:23.
My brother please my candid advice for you is to move closer by giving your heart to Jesus.

Indeed it is biblical but not in the church age, it was ONLY applicable in the ancient times when there were Levites and priests who existed together with the physical temple of God , where they ministered.

But it is certainly not applicable to this era where all believers are priests not just some self appointed , so called MOG.

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." - 1 Peter 2:9

how can going to church be the most important?what do you go church to do worship God right?what's if you attend always and keep doing things you know wrong what the essence of the church?

As for me my church is my heart and I pay my tithe by giving to needs,support church buildings etc.

Romans 10:17 New International Version (NIV)
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

When u go to church and listen to the word of God it builds your faith in God, and you grow stronger as a christian. Thats why i said its more important to go to church than staying at home to pay your tithes

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it
Malachi 3 : 10. You were saying...

Who was God referring to here ? Start from Malachi 2 and then come back and tell me. Don't just pluck one verse out of context and use it to fleece the flock.

Please teach me. I'm listening. Who was God referring to?

heskeyw:
Our relationship and closeness to GOD almighty is not measured by taking attendance. Going to church doesn't make you a good christian vice versa.

But going to church to fellowship and grow with other believers shows your love for the brethren, which Christ instructs. You cannot dissociate Christianity from church-going (provided attendance is for the right reasons). Good Christianity is not determined by church going alone, but it is not possible for a person to be a true Christian and not have any association with other believers (whether through church attendance, fellowships and the like).

That you or others engage in wrongdoing while attending church does not negate the essence or benefits of going to church. The church of God is a body and cannot reside in anyone's heart. It is the will and purpose of God for His children to grow together, functioning as different parts of one unit, blessing each other and helping each other grow (Ephesians 4:16). Let's encourage one another in this regard, and not neglect the habit of meeting together, "but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:25). Blessings and peace to you.

So is that the reason tithes are paid? To selfishly gain a blessing in return? Is God now a money-doubler or a "Baba-Ijebu" scheme? This is not how we learned Christ...

basadenet:
Going to church regularly is not compulsory, paying your tithes regularly is the key. Your tithes is acceptable by God.

By saying this you have prioritised the money of this man over his soul. This means that Muslims can pay tithes, even atheists and armed robbers can pay tithes and God will accept. This is not what we learnt of God: He desires the heart and life of man over his money ("obedience is better than sacrifice", "the sacrifices of the LORD are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart", Isaiah 1:11-17). If this is your theology, you need to backtrack immediately, because it is incredibly dangerous. God wants, above all else, that everyone surrenders their heart and life to Him, trusting in His Son Jesus for their salvation and yielding themselves to transformation by His Spirit, and this process involves meeting and growing with other believers through church/fellowship attendance and participation. This is more important than tithe payment, any day and any time.

The bible talks about assembling or gathering together with other believers which may be in twos or threes and could be anyway and on any day.
Church attendance is not mandatory.

I can c u r not born-again n knw nothing abt d kingdom of God. Giving diamond to pig or swine is useless. Teaching them d things of God is like trying to convert Satan . U r no different frm d Pharisees in d bible. Jesus had a tough time trying to convince Dem abt d practical true. Jesus turning water into wine,I'm sure u wld hav called Him babalawo or a magician.Pharisees just like their father satan can quote d whole bible yet dey r hypocrites. Y do u give offerings in church is it part of holiness. Didn't Satan appear b4 God to ask for permission to attack Job. Any1 can come to church to give offering,yet The almighty God knows His true saints unlike hypocrite n bible scholar like u. U r just like d pharisee n d sinner,Jesus talked abt in d bible. On d last u will find bible scholars in hellfire.no one n I repeat can attain Jesus' righteousness,we r only righteous by faith.

You r right just that most christians lay emphasis on how often u attend church services rather than self-conduct.

Its even easier these days to assassinate a pastor. All you have to do is just to take a walk on the main road. You will see their church crusade program posters, in this poster u will see their pictures, their wives pictures, residential address, phone numbers and account numbers(provided for the church needs). Nigerian christianity is now 'politicalised'.
