@OP, How is it possble ?? When yor Bible says



“Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always.” even some Christians no believe that them dey chop the olive oil sef.


The Bible says EAT your tithe?



“Then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the LORD your God will
choose.”

Tithing does not guarantee you a place in heaven. Not Tithing does not guarantee u a place in hell. Please wat ever u drop at the alter of God you gave it to God and not to any human. Read the bible well anything given at the alter was always said to have been given to God.
Watever d pastor does with it is not ur business. Stop saying u gave ur offering and tithe to ur pastor it is left for God to judge his servant if he doesn't properly use the offering and tithes given to him(God). Jesus said who are u to judge another man's servant

If u dont stand strong in faith nairaland will make believe that there is no genuine pastor called by God and these are mostly done Christians. Paul said if eating meat will make ur neighbor fall dnt eat meat all lest ur neighbor fall because of u. If criticizing a pastor will make someone lose faith in God then i wont criti ize dem.

Stop calling men of God (whether good or fake) pastorpreneurs if u are a Christian (let atheist and Muslims go ahead). Its God dat called dem. Its also God dat really knows the good and d fake. Imagine u one day call a Man of God really annointed and consencrated by God a pastorpreneur or fake. Den u re calling down d wrath of God because how can God invest his anointing on someone and u call d person fake.

If u dnt like his teachings and ways of life stay away from him and leave d God he claimed dat called him do d judgment. Its not all men Of God dat i like their modus operandi but i will choose not to say anything bad about him. Speaking against d annointing can be fatal. Ask moses' sister

. It baffles how people like you with little or no knowledge of biblical mystery write about God's word. The good thing is, you can ask the Holy Spirit to teach you cos from your write I can tell it's either you are one off Christian or lack proper understanding. When Christ, he didn't abolish tithing but said it shd be done properly without neglecting other weightier issue. Because the pharisees were hypocritical. Christ came to fulfill the law.
As for calling the name of Jesus , you need to be properly taught. As long as it's called vainly, u can call as million time. It's a name given above all name that all principalities bow to. When it comes to worldly things like clubbing all night n singing songs, u don't get tired but when it's church things, you create "barriers" in ur mind by saying the extent certain Christian mysteries must be done.
The blood of Jesus is a mystery true believers understand. Some believers won't even take communion, which is the blood of Jesus. Jesus said as often as you take it... Requires a clean mind, u just ask for mercy genuinely and u take it. Some churches will say only full members or communicants shd take it, that isn't Christ teaching. My brother, you can plead the blood of Jesus a zillion time as long as you are praying. I urge to go to a church that teaches the word so you can be enlightened by God's word. Don't sit in your home and act like you know the Bible.

As rightly called, Christians are not the only worshipper of God; the Jews are as well. And going by the channel of the revelation of God to humanity there are many things, sacred things Christians abuse in the name of faith. And though these things are not repercussive, yet, they spell our ignorance about the element of our religion, if one would be hypocritic about it, faith.


THE NAME OF JESUS: I was invited to a night vigil sometimes two years ago. Vividly I can remember the pastor honourably prophet asking us to shout the name of Jesus six hundred times. Well people shouted, I shouted then.

While this may not be the same for all churches, but I have come to notice something close in every churches: the repetition of Christ names before, during, and after prayer. This is not supposed to be so. The name Christ is meant to be reverenced. Ask in my name doesn't mean abuse my name. So far so good, miracles done in the name of Christ in the Apostles were done not shouting in Jesus name. In and fact, the first act of prayer done by the Apostle had no "in Jesus name' in it. They simply prayed, and the Spirit tendered the prayer in the name of Christ.

Every believer has what God called a seal on him, in that, when you communicate with God the seal do so in the reverenced name of Christ. Joining people to shout in Jesus name therefore may be extraneous or quite unnecessary.


THE BLOOD OF JESUS: Maybe it's ignorance I can't say or lack of foundational knowledge about what the great sacrifice is all about. The blood of Christ sanctifies. And if we are willing to go deep into deep things, it protects but not the protection we Christians assumed for it.

The blood as a means of protection, is a shield not only for humans but as well for angels to prevent them and us falling into apostasy now, and in the world to come. It is by credibility of the blood Michael will be able to defeat Lucifer in the second heavens, because by virtue of the blood, all God angels including Michael are immune to Lucifer seduction. Defeating them by the blood doesn't mean they will be shouting "I cover you in the blood of Jesus."


TITHING: It may not be that obvious, but tithing is sure a sacred thing as far as God is concerned. But well so well not what Christians understand it to be.

Tithes are meant to be paid by farmers and farmers alone in the then land of Israel. This is because the Levite had no land to cultivate, no portion was giving to them. So speaking, to do what God as always wanted for humanity, he commanded a tenth of 'farmers' produce to be given to the Levite so as to prevent lack in the land. The Levite had no land to cultivate, but our pastors to be do. They have places to work.

Payment of tithes in churches should serve a means of providing for everyone's need in the church. This, the apostles understood by distributing every thing the church had to every members. To live and survived, the apostles like every one else, worked with their very hands.

Of course there are more, but these ones concern us the most. We have the prophets, Psalms and the law, let's read them and learn the truth for ourselves instead of disgracing ourselves and God. And if we fall into the 'grace only' category, then let us study the acts of the early church and save ourselves from this modern hypocrisy.

Dats wat i said if u think the pastor is not following the ways of Christ u have no business following him. But pls instead of doing d judgment by calling him all sorts of name leave it for God. Follow those who follow Christ that was what paul said

adex79:
It is highly unfortunate that my people perished cos of lack of knowledge. The church of today gives tithe and offering according to law as it is writing.
Stop mocking and step up. Many are doing what you come against and they see result. Read your bible very well and know that Tithing, Worship offering, Sacrifice and Giving to the poor and needy pays. All these aforementioned are different things entirely. One does not affect others. May you know the truth today and God set you free of frustration. Thanks

Yes my brother...if someone is productive in christ and doing the things stated in the bible...but you know those person doing otherwise make many brethren lost there faith...tanks

When u see those brethren losing their faith teach them from God's word but still dnt say bad things about d men of God. Dats why u have d bible u re also expected to know d truth for urself.

I don't criticize any one in christ... And mind you we re all men of God

Bhuldoxxa:
It was not specified how many times we should call the name of Jesus.
Therefore, calling the name often means you are carrying Him all the way. (Beginning, middle and end)
I remember the disciples telling Jesus that some people elsewhere where performing miracles and he asked them in whose name, and they replied in your name.
What did Peter say at the beautiful gate?

I will rather call the name of my ancestors than calling the name of a dead Jew and his father who have no single african name nor reference to Africans in their supposed book meant for the world

Matthew 15

24
He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Africa Israel

And here Jesus making a racial comment towards non-jews.. Dog was a racial word used by the jews

26
He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.
