would hav love to parry words with you, but so sorry, evidently
you are perishing. For lack of knowledge, since you cant tell the difference between EMPLOYMENT and BIZNESS

You just made your case worse.
Double double blessings from employment?
Are you stealing or are you corruptly enriching yourself?
You should note that such double double blessings is from the devil and the person will pay one way or another.

bros don't give to man what you should give to God... God is jealous o. TITHE IS NOT A CHURCH DONATION o.


This your post eh. . .

1. "Don't give to man what you should give to God."

Please, the tithe that he is paying, is God going to come down and eat it? Is it not men that will collect it? The essence of tithe in the first place was so that everyone could have something to eat. Not for pastors like Apostle Suleiman to spend on prostitutes.

2. "God is jealous o."

You Christians. . .you just produce more and more material for the atheists to insult you. Can you hear yourself? The earth in comparison to the universe is not even as much as a grain if sand at the beach. So tiny and insignificant. And then, the supposed master of the Universe is jealous of ONE MAN on earth, just because he used his hard earned money to male the world a better place instead of giving it to a pastor who might have questionable character. If God truly exists, what does he/she/it want to do with human money If God truly created the earth, is there anything on that he doesn't have already? The rationale behind tithes in the first place was for everyone to have something to eat, not for pastors to enrich themselves.

3. If tithes are not a church donation, what are they What are they used for I remember when I used to go to church, All Souls Chapel in OAU particularly (where the chaplain was caught to have embezzled millions). They always put what the tithe was used for, like renovation of the church, buying instruments, etc. If that isn't a church donation, then tell me what is.

my brother its a pittty that such human beings profess christianity.despit their ignorance, Jesus is still Lord. The bible says "God who did not spare his son but delivered him up to be killed for us will also through him give unto us all things" The God we worship is not a trader neither is He jelouse of nalra from prostitutes, ritualists, armed robbers and profane people like him.

God of isreal, from your description you certainly don't know him just ideas about him

If there is god, why sud he be an Israelite?? Don't u think u belittle that god.

u cannot apply your logical thought to just everything. there are things you prefer than other things, but some things you like may be an abomination to others.

God choose the isrealites because of Abraham righteousness, in those days righteousness was a thing of luxury to man. God looked at the earth and said Abraham is a man of my heart, through him I will restore man to my self again.

he promised Abraham that he will bless his seeds forever, thus the term God of isreal.

but do you know that his just one of his names, God of Abraham, God of Moses, God of Elijah etc
you over simplify the meaning of the word God of Israel

do you know the Facebook owner is an open atheist, he said there is no God how then do you expect such man to pay tithe. he laughed at those that mention God. believe me there are more than many very rich people that are not Christians and don't even know what tithe means

perhaps Abraham was the only righteous man on earth?
are u a descendant of Abraham the Jew?

now can we say Yahweh through Abraham has successfully restored man to himself?
why must Yahweh attempt to even restore man if he was all perfect in all his works in the 1st place?

am not a descendant of Abraham, but none descendants have already be added through Christ coming.

God gave man total free will to act, take it like a test. God created so many things, as a master creator he deem it fit to create a being that has total free will to choose, that alone have attracted many other things, like not intervening when man is making a choice hence Adam was not prevented from eating the Apple even though God was seeing him trying to eat it, it is called total free will.

God is acting as he pleased him, he his the owner of this universe, more like a man behaves when he his at his own house, he moves the furniture around, remove some, and put anything at different places according to his wish


also God reserve the right to do as he please, God is like man, a man choose to wear different clothes at different times as his heart wish

Thanks.
That is what Deuteronomy 14: 22-29 says.
Let us all read our bible to avoid being swindled by the gods of men who pretend to be men of God.
My people perish for lack of knowledge.

Sir, there are many dispensations or generations in the bible. Abraham even paid his tithe to Melchizedek.

If Isreal ate their tithe, what would the Levites( the called apart ) tribe eat ? Since the levites were commanded not to own land and engage in business activities apart from serving at Gods temple.

This is the exact use of Tithe today.. Tithe is meant for the Levite,(pastors) the stranger, the fatherless and the widow. Deut 26 : 12

Poster : @ iamadonis2
So ur purpose is covered in the use of tithe..
Re: Should I Only Pay Tithe In Church? by denitro(m): 9:39pm On Apr 02, 2017
It seems you have not gained a personal testimony of the full payment of tithing.
There are many reasons that are used to not pay tithing like paying to an NGO, using the money to pay debt,
school fees etc.
Purpose of tithing - Faithful members of the Church pay their tithing to church leaders.
Under the direction of the Lord, these funds are then gathered and used to fund the growth
and development of the Church throughout the world.

Why does the Lord require His people to pay tithing?
“There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world,
upon which all blessings are predicated—and when we obtain any blessing from God,
it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.”6 And again: “I, the Lord,
am bound when ye do what I say; but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise.”

“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse.
Tithing is one of the great tests of the personal righteousness of Church members.
In order to receive blessings from God, you are required to exercise faith and the law of tithing
is one way we build our faith.

Pls don't pay money to an NGo and think it will be accepted as tithing, it can never be and will never be.
It will just be a goodwill donation.

First develop faith in God and pay your tithing in your church and pray for the blessing attached to payment of tithing.

Hello, Nairalanders,

I'm really confused on the issue of paying tithe. Its my first job at 22. I'm a very religious person and that's why I need to sample opinions if I only have to pay tithe in Church.

I know a particular guy who runs an NGO that pays the fees of school kids from poor homes. I offered to sponsor this humanitarian venture. The funds I plan to put into it will be my monthly tithe.

Simple meaning: I will not pay tithe in church. Rather I'll take the exact 10% and support this guy.

Is it proper? Should I only pay tithe in church? Please advise maturely.

Shalom!


Pay your tithe to God (in your Church). It's none of your business how it's spent. You paid to God, not to man.

CHRISTIANS HAVE NO BUSINESS PAYING TITHE. USE YOUR MONEY TO HELP THE POOR AND NEEDY AS THE SPIRIT OF GOD DIRECTS YOU.

HERESY? WHEN YOU BECOME A BEREAN CHRISTIAN, YOU WILL DISCOVER THE TRUTH BY YOURSELF.

Op, i beg u in the name of God, do not be misled by some sch of thoughts here. Tithe is God's, whether monetary or otherwise.
Whom u pay to, God: Malachi 3:10
Who shud receive, pastors(priests): Nehemiah 10:38
Why to pay, it's a covenant of abundance: Malachi 3:10-12.
My brother, do not be afraid when fulfilling scriptures. Let God be the judge ova fake pastors, do ur part. May God give u understanding.
