why not look for a church that suits your style. There are so many denominations out there that will not drain your pocket, and take u for who you are. Beside worship, which is the aim of the church, my church seeks to improve members standard of living as well. A family church that I always looks forward to attending everytime where EVERYBODY IS SOMEBODY.

1. Tithing is scriptural.. forget malachi 3:8 and read Hebrew 7.
2. Tithing is a choice not by force.
3. Have you ask yourself this question? how some churches were built without donation for church building? Thats what your tithe does. Its also used for the work of the ministry and propagation of the gospel.

Tithing is not the only access to God's blessing but its important cos that is the only way the church get funded for the work of the ministry.

NOTE: Any church where the pastor or leader uses the tithe for their personal use can never grow and cannot stay for long.....
Good to know you made the Bible your standard for living and knowing the truth....

I thought you would say that. I just knew you would be Lazarus Muoka croony from the first sentence you typed. You lot are always full of self righteousness. And the dumbness you guyz exhibit when you wear those annoying jackets and take to the street in hordes creating unnecessary din is something else.

MarkMiwerds:


1. Hebrews 7 is not speaking of a requried monetary tithe. Hebrews 7 4 speaks of Abram's tithes from the spoils of war. Hebrews 7:5-9 speak of the Levitic tithe according to the Law. The Law said God's holy tithe was to be agricultural, not monetary.
2. In many denominations, people are forced to tithe by being accused of robbing God if they don't and being threatened with a curse if they don't. The only reason they choose to tithe is because they are forced into choosing.
3. In the Bible, God's holy tithe was not used to build churches. It was used to feed those who were poor in the Promised Land; the Levites, the widows, the orphans and foreigners.

Tithing is access to God's blessing? I have to disagree. For one, Romans 8:32 says that God will give us all things freely. He doesn't require a ten percent cover charge for His blessings. All one has to do to receive God's blessings is to ask God to bless him according to His will. James 4:2 says, "Ye have not because ye ask not," not "Ye have not because ye fail to tithe."

I got tired of going, now they are disturbing my peace. Asking me why i quit? Why wont i quit a place that has become a breeding ground for foolishness and shyness

I am beginning to dislike Nigerian christians, i am afraid they are making me to.

You will see them thinking rationally on every normal day and everywhere but once they step in to the church, they just pack up their brains. Haba!

The swallow everything mr pastor says and dont bother looking them up in the bible.

Pastor say sow seed, papapa. They drop
Thite; same thing
No questions.

Thats how one brainless girl gave her school fees as seed. For wetin, i chop winsh

"Where is it in the bible?" is my amour. No body can deceive me when i have brain.

The sharp contrast in the Nigerian christian behaviour in the church and in their daily lives, is a sad one.

In their D.lives, they wont even let a kobo drop from their wallets without proper and careful calculation. They must get to the root of why they should let go their doughs, even if they have to carry out an extensive research.

I am just tired of these people who let themselves swindled by people that are not their match in the name of "fearing God and his annointed men"
