Tithe by frubben(m): 8:45pm On Sep 04, 2016
Mark Zukerberge does not pay tithe

Bill gate don't pay tithe

Warrer buffet don't pay tithe

Frubben don't pay tithe

Just to mention some few people that controls
the world. Hey has it not occur to you that your pastor has being enriching himself with such money and deceiving you. The bible says I allow the rain to fall on good and bad (even the bad don't pay tithe) but dey are enjoying this things not to talk of we children of God.
Those men I have mention above have given
almost all there wealth to CHARITY work to
make the world a better place. God will not spell doom on you if u channel your money to the right part not to one building that only help one person (pastor)..
Be wise

Theologians, Pastors and Denominations etcetera who dont subscribe to tithing

Tertullian (160 – 220)
First Christian author to produce an extensive corpus of Latin Christian literature,
Called “the father of Latin Christianity” and “the founder of Western theology

“every one puts a little to the public stock, commonly once a month, or when he pleases,
and only upon condition that he is both willing and able; for there is no compulsion upon any.
All here is a free-will offering”
“The Apology”, Chapter XXXIX

John Wycliffe (1330 – 1384)
Theologian, Reformer, Teacher at Oxford in England,
Translated the bible from Vulgate into vernacular English
(The Wycliffe Bible)
“why curates are so severe in exacting tithes, since Christ and his apostles took no tithes, as men do now ;
neither paid them, nor even spoke of them, either in the Gospel or the Epistles, which are the perfect law of freedom and grace.
But Christ lived on the alms of holy women, as the Gospel telleth ; and the apostles lived sometimes by the labor of their hands,
and sometimes took a poor livelihood and clothing, given of free will and devotion by the people, without asking or constraining.”

” Paul proved that priests, preaching truly the gospel, should live by the gospel, and said naught of tithes.
Certainly tithes were due to priests in the Old Law — but it is not so now, in the law of grace.”
“Tracts and Treatises of John de Wycliffe” 1845 Translation by Robert Vaughan

Martin Luther (1483 – 1546)
Professor of theology,
Seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation, Known for “Ninety-Five Theses”,
Translated the Bible from Latin into a native language

“But the other commandments of Moses, which are not [implanted in all men] by nature, the Gentiles do not hold.
Nor do these pertain to the Gentiles, such as the tithe”
“How Christians Should Regard Moses ” p.139; August 27, 1525

John Wesley (1703 – 1791)
Theologian, Credited with the foundation Methodism.
His work and writings also played a leading role in the development of the Holiness movement and Pentecostalism

“give all you can, or, in other words, give all you have to God. Do not stint yourself, like a Jew rather than a Christian, to this or that proportion. “Render unto God,” not a tenth, not a third, not half, but all that is God’s, be it more or less”
“The Use of Money”

Charles Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)
Preached to around 10,000,000 people,
Remains one of the most influential preachers to this day – considered by some as the best

“But you are not under a system similar to that by which the Jews were obliged to pay tithes to the priests. If there were any such rule laid down in the Gospel, it would destroy the beauty of spontaneous giving and take away all the bloom from the fruit of your liberality! There is no law to tell me what I should give my father on his birthday. There is no rule laid down in any law book to decide what present a husband should give to his wife, nor what token of affection we should bestow upon others whom we love. No, the gift must be a free one, or it has lost all its sweetness.”
“Christ’s Poverty, Our Riches” (Sermon 2716) April 18, 1880


C.I. Scofield (1843 – 1921)
Theologian,
Author of the best-selling annotated Bible

“In contrast with the law, which imposed giving as a divine requirement, Christian giving is voluntary, and a test of sincerity and love.”
“Scofield Reference Bible” 2 Corinthians 8 and 9


John F. MacArthur (1939)
Serves as the President of The Master's University
Acknowledged as one of the most influential preachers of his time,
Authored or edited more than 150 books

“You know what’s wrong with the 10%? Number one, it isn’t biblical and it’s giving for the wrong reason. It’s giving to fulfill an obligation rather than a response to a loving, willing heart, right?

Second thing that’s wrong with it is, it hinders what you could do by making you think you’re done.
Giving is never to be by coercion. It is never to be by fundraising. It is never to be by compulsion. It is any gimmick is offensive to God.”
“God’s Plan for Giving, Part 1” February 09, 1975

“Tithing does appear in the Bible. So, yes, tithing is biblical. But it is not Christian.
The tithe belongs to ancient Israel. It was essentially their income tax.
Never do you find first-century Christians tithing in the New Testament.”
- Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices
Frank Viola and George Barna
Authors


“Many people are hung up on the legal system of tithing. I’ve got nothing against giving. But you are not under the tithe.”
Les Feldick,
Founder of “Through the Bible”


“tithing is biblical like polygamy, slavery, and animal sacrifices are biblical.
These concepts are included in the Bible. But they are all part of another covenant, one replaced by the New Covenant in the work of Christ.”
Dr. Glenn Kreider, professor of Theological Studies
Dallas Theological Seminary


Jehovah’s Witnesses
The commandment to tithe, or contribute a tenth of one’s belongings, was part of the Law given to the ancient nation of Israel.
However, the Bible makes it clear that this Law—including the “commandment to collect tithes”—does not apply to Christians.

Separatists
That the due maintenance of the Officers aforesaid, should be of the free and voluntary contribution of the Church, that according to Christ’s ordinance, they which preach the Gospel may live of the Gospel: and not by Popish Lordships and Livings, or Jewish tithes and Offerings.

Well said, frubben you have put your point across strongly.
Pastors are business men, like Bill Gates, Warner Buffet etc.. All retrieve monies from the worldly system, some business men and women were born into riches, and others weren't.

Jesus said it is easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle then for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
In the last days prosperity preachers will flock in like wolves in sheep clothing robbing and stealing who they may devour, twisting the word of God, so those whom are listening will be deceived by the beastly system.
