INTROVERT:Its even a shame to know bible quotes and not know that paying tithe pleases God a lot. Your numerous bible quotations is not what God needs. So stop defending ur interest in d name of quoting bible Come to think of it. You don't pay tithe yet issues on tithe keep getting ur attention. Perhaps you should use that energy and intelligence to please God by paying tithe and not thinking on whether ur pastor is pleased or not |

Tithing is a Christian Virtue. God is the giver of all things, so giving 10% of your income to be used for the work of God is not what you should cry for. The problem is you always think you are giving to man, when you give in church give as if you are giving to God and not man. As for contributions, it's between you and God, if you have and can give, no problem, if you don't have, no one wiil kill you. Whatever thing you give even if not in church, give as if you are giving to God cus it's only God that'll reward and bless you. No man, even your Pastor can't reward you because he is man. If I call a man my pastor, then I believe that he is ordained by God and whatever he says is from God, so if he prays for me, all I have to do is say 'Amen' and believe God for it to come to pass. Some of you don't even knw wat religion you are practising.... you are not a Christian, neither are you a Muslim or a traditional worshipper and worst of it all, u are not an atheist, you are just der!!! |

I remember when the government proposed taxing religious monetary gifts, CAN joined forces with the Muslim guys to oppose the position and reject it. These same guys want to collect what belongs to God, but refuse to give tk Caesar what belongs to Caesar. As for tithes, these pastors collect money in God's name but live like Pontius Pilate. Look at that one who said his school fees are approved by God. He has 4 jets without having a visible source of wealth. His children are all in the business and they are heading lucrative branches. You guys should keep dashing Pastor your money instead of using it to plan your children's future. 1 Like |

The only clarifications I need is why proceeds from tithes are not used for stocking the store house of God......why do pastors still ask for members to buy chairs,pay for transportation to camps,contribute for widows,bring food to church for love feast and on and on? 4 Likes |
Re: Pastors And Thier Role In This Recession by Nobody: 8:53am On Nov 06, 2016 |
Papiikush:Oh perfectly answered. Genesis is in the old testament right? Now which book of law says you should bring all tithes in Gods storehouse |
Re: Pastors And Thier Role In This Recession by dermmy(m): 8:53am On Nov 06, 2016 |
RadicallyBlunt: God is raising his own vessels and they are going to lift the veil modern day pastors have placed on us because we have failed to read and understand God's word. So if you choose to remain in darkness it's your choice coz i see you have been brainwashed beyond help and may be you are a pastor that robs people of their hard earned money too. |

When the followers of jesus were persecuted in jerusalem, charity was sent to them through the apostles from brethrens all over the world. Paul in one of his letters said that one shouldnt have more than he needs when his brother is in lack but unfortunately modern christians have chosen to keep a blind eye to passages as this. If christianity has lost its mandate which is love and empathy then you, my friend who calls himself a tither is being obtained by tricks. A ceo of one of the renowned churches in this country owns a university the poor would never dream to attend. This means if he owned the food industry, textile industry and mortgage industry, only the rich would be fed, clothed and sheltered. Brethren! The creator gave us a mind of our own that was robbed us by dogma, doctrines and beliefs. "The thief has come to steal, kill and to destroy but I come to give you life and life abundantly". Until we have an indepth knowledge of what Jesus was about, we'd always be slaves to our kind! 4 Likes 1 Share |

RadicallyBlunt: all tithes which is not necessarily money. Now that same "book of law" said so there should be meet in my house Meat which means the poor should be fed. Now tell me, how come is the poor not being fed? So because I thought about this and stopped taking my tithe to church I am not a Christian abi? Bro, what church do you attend again? |
Re: Pastors And Thier Role In This Recession by caprini1: 8:57am On Nov 06, 2016 |
dermmy:The summary is when Jesus said " .....the time is coming when true believers will neither go to the temple or Jerusalem or any where......but shall worship God in truth and in spirit" A lot is really happening in the Christendom. The first churches we knew were Catholics and Anglicans,we were taught Good Morales back then and love for one another,same pacesetters of these churches,sees nothing wrong in gay marriages. A certain Pentecostal church forbids television watching in the past,but now they watch more than everyone,infact their programmes are broadcasted live on TV. We all know what is right,if we don't do it ,it becomes sin. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Pastors And Thier Role In This Recession by stonemasonn: 9:01am On Nov 06, 2016 |
The message Christianity is passing across is that God needs the money (tithes, offering etc) for his survival and that the reason he created man was to raise fund for his campaign against the forces of evil. If: you are a Christian and you believe the above then by all means please pay you tithes with offerings and other donations unfailingly. Else: please hold your peace.

Re: Pastors And Thier Role In This Recession by Nobody: 9:05am On Nov 06, 2016 |
Papiikush:Lol. So u chose the part of the bible that soothes ur purpose and left the part that are inconvenient for you as a person Apart from the fact that some pastors are actually covetous about tithe, what exactly are you expecting the pastor to do...return the tithe to you? Maybe you shd read verse 10 of Malachi 3 very well. Its Gods duty to open the windows of heaven for you and bless you not the pastor. Once you pay, you have obeyed God and he will bless you. Remove your mind from what d pastor does with it. He will be judged by God not you. Or except you want to take your tithe to heaven by yourself |

RadicallyBlunt: So God is pleased you take your tithe to a scamer right? And you are not a Christian because you use that tithe to bless others? Sorry, I don't add more monies to other people billions I rather give a thousand to someone with hundreds. I think We both serve different Gods 1 Like |

Its a big pity churches squeez out money from their dull member who cant read and understand the bible. anyway churches are supposed to help the economy by either having a large farm which will both reduce unemployment rate and food scarcity, bt they prefer to build mighty cathedrals,universities and own a private jet nd members own footwagon and sleep in a cave and attend public schools, mtcheeew 1 Like |

That's why I like Jehovah's witnesses, I was invited by one of them, at first I was skeptical about going, but one Sunday I made up my mind to go. I went there I was amazed at how things are done there, they are no special sits for the ministers in fact everyone is a minister who takes turns to preach on a topic every Sunday. We closed and I was surprised that there was no offering and tithing time, I decided to leave thinking that I will be called back. For where nobody call me back for offering instead I was being welcomed as a first timer with smiles in their faces asking some questions about the topics that was discussed. I was amazed that for the first time I went home with the money I brought to church for offering.. I now started to wonder with which money is the church using to operate. I was told it is been ran by voluntary donations. That is how a church should be and not someone not going to church because he or she doesn't have offering 4 Likes 1 Share |
