This is an important topic if feel we in nairaland should deliberate upon and provide our candid opinion.

Should some pay tithe from winning in soccer bet.

The Bible does not support gambling,even though the churches and their pastors/priests would gladly accept your 'tithe' to buy designer shoes and private jets,Heaven may do otherwise...
The best person to answer this your question is your conscience or God himself or Jesus the Christ because even 100 different preachers can give you 100 different answers to the same question based on their carnal understanding of the scriptures or by the 'leading' of the same 'Holy Spirit'...

Of course, even armed robbers and kidnappers bring their tithes to church. The pastors don't care where the money is coming from.

But the main question is... Is it right before God

Don't even try it. Betting is not of God, it is gambling and the Bible condemns it. In fact when you get involved in betting it is sin.

The Op knows this,in fact he must have been taught in his Sunday school class as a teen,but he is probably confused based on what is happening in the twenty first century church...

If you ask me, na who i go ask?

If the tithe is to God, no. God has no pleasure in the sacrifice of fools.

Why pay tithe at all in the first place? Help the less privileged biko, they will appreciate it and bless you

Ask your self. . . Does sport betting glorify God?

I see people on sunday morning going to Sport betting spots or corners to do their thing instead of worshiping in God's house (Church).

P.S. I'm not better than them.

Precisely!

I'm not actually saying it's bad. . . But sport betting can mislead people to hell!

How?

In a whole of one week, weigh or get a statistics of how you spend your time with God versus how you spend your time doing sport betting.

Literally, the amount of time you spend with God proves you're not worthy of God or His kingdom.

Thank God you know.

As for your question, you'll know on the day of judgment if it is a sin or not.

P.S. Don't quote me wrong.

Thanks.
