I give as my spirit leads some churches will even go to the extent of telling you without paying your tithes you won't make heaven but if you ask them to explain further they quote the old testaments but never emphasize on the new testaments.
Please am not against the issue of tithes.

Why do you give to the church do you give because people say so my dear you are just giving for Nothing?

When Jesus came he put an end to most the law, he also spoke abt the old widow and the rich men seed telling us the widow gave from her lack but the rich gave from their abundance.

Somewhat I'm saying in excess is what's your purpose of giving to God, is it to Impress people or Honestly sacrifice something to God. Your offering must not be money it can be leaving all your bad characters or what you value most.
What does your Spirit tell you, remember Christ didn't leave us alone he gave us the minister/adviser our inner man follow his instructions.

''I give my tithes to the needy,they need it more than the church'' – John Dumelo reveals


Celebrated Ghanaian actor John Dumelo has revealed to the public what he does with his tithe money.

According to the famed actor he gives his tithe to the needy as they need it more than the church.

He made this claim on Twitter on Sunday morning.

Tithing In Christianity has always been a controversy topic. As some people believes in tithing others frowns on the act.

If you have read your Bible very well, you would have known that biblically you should give to the needy.
Mere fact that you cannot afford to give more than 10% of your income out shouldn't be an excuse to run down the tithing.
A lot more tithers are giving far more than you are boasting to the needy after their tithes.

This actor is a kind and generous man who is wise with his money.

He sees no sense at all in giving money to some fast-talking miracle pastor who flies with his fat greedy and selfish wife aboard a private jet, to Paris or Dubai for shopping sprees.

Rather than waste his money on deceitful pastors who sell bogus backstage passes to meet Jeeeesus in Heaven, this gentleman quietly helps out the poor, to the best of his ability.

The man pictured above is a good man, with a heart of gold, but he is NOT a gullible person who wastes his cash trying to buy a seat beside Jeeesus in Heaven.

Christians who think they can BUY their way into heaven, are no better than Muslims who expect to enjoy the attentions of 72 virgins in paradise, in reward for murdering non-Muslims. Both stripes of gullible sheep are equally brain-dead, and should be given a wide berth of avoidance, by all who are blessed with common sense.

God is God of principle and the greatest givers are tithers. Show me a Christian who pays h/her tithe and I will show you a Christian who cares for the poor.

I am yet to see a Christian that becomes richer by not paying his tithe or become poor for paying his tithe.

Me too. I stopped tithing and now give money to the needy through my foundation named after my loving mother.
Over 50 families have benefited from my foundation, including a couple of people here on Nairaland and I am happy.

The truth is that most Churches and pastors are corrupt and out of touch with the people they are meant to protect and care for.

I am still a Christian and I am actually ready to go hell for giving to the needy and not promoting the negative and adulterous lifestyles of the pastors is the main reason.

Ask yourselves this hard question: why is it that 5 out 10 richest pastors in the world are Nigerians?
Let me ask you some simple question
1. When you need to hear to word of God where do you go ?? The needy or your church ??
2. When you need prayers where do you go to
3. What if you come to church one day and you were told there is no sit and you need to sit on the floor or you find the church flooded what will you do ??
4. What if you come to church one day and you could hardly hear the pastor because the microphone is bad.
Here is the truth , if you want to help the needy help them , dont use Peter to pay Paul...

What you just wrote is false especially the bold part! We have many Christians that are strong tithers yet they can't afford to send their children to private schools. We have many tithers here abroad that are living paycheck to paycheck, once they lose their job they start depending on welfare checks from the government. Paying tithe does not make any economical sense if you are struggling, there's no way you can ask someone making 1m per year to drop 100k as tithe knowing he'll pay house rent 500k, he'll pay school fees for his children, transport, he'll feed and so on, it's just plain WICKED!

If every one of the congregation decides to give their tithes to the beggars in the community, how do you take care of the following?

1. maintenance of the church
2. payment of workers in the church
3. payment of bills

Meanwhile my focus is not on this so-called new generational churches, so you don't look at my view in a different perspective. And to answer your question, church is not the building. The congregations are the church, but we are talking about the building and infrastructures.

What happened to offerings and other free will donations?

How come you don't find anything wrong in people giving offerings, donations and seed sowing to the church buy you are against tithe? Does that even make sense? No be the same priests and pastors all of them dey go to? Don't you know that a lot of people give more than ten percent of their wage as donations?? You are against someone giving ten percent as tithe but you're OK with that person giving even more as donations? Where is the logic there??
You are the illogical person here. You claimed that tithe money is crucial because it is meant for church developedment, maintenance of church infrastructure and payment of church workers' salary
I then asked you a simple question and you started talking from both sides of your mouth and went further to accuse me of preaching against tithe.
My worry is that the zeal with which the Pentecostal church defends tithe if this same zeal is channeled towards evangelization and preaching repentance; the kingdom of God will be seriously advanced on earth.
I am yet to understand why we frown at other laws in the old testament but singled out tithing for preservation and practice.
Why are we making mockery of the sacrifice of Christ Jesus on the cross?

Apart from the fact that the emboldened is a scriptural falsehood, it is also morally skewed and logically idiotic. In many civilized countries, churches have to publish financial statements and annual financial reports accounting for every cent received by the church and how it is spent. The clergy certainly has to be accountable to the people. To say that it is not your business what the church does with your money is absurd. You must be a fraudster.

STOP this propaganda. The church still ask the congregation to make special contribution and donations for these activities you enumerated.
Some pastors are also placed on salaries and the money for that purpose still does not come from tithe.

He's against tithing because it's unChristian and unscriptural

The early christians never paid tithes rather, they gave offerings and donations to take care of their needs. The rich amongst them sold their properties and shared the proceeds with the poor brethrens.

People gave donations to move the kingdom business forward, no tithes were paid or received by Jesus, the disciples or the early christians whom we should model after.

Giving is supposed to be done willingly and cheerfully. You all put a 10% tag just to defraud people and drag God into your madness.

Ignorance is not an excuse. If you cannot read the Bible and know God for yourself, then i'm sorry for you.

Some people even say, you pay tithe and whatever the church uses the money for is not your business. Very foolish and wicked set of people, they all have aged parents and relatives in the village struggling to feed.


Keep deceiving yourselves.

Giving your tithes to the poor is a misplaced priority. Do not be crafty in things of God, your tithes belong to the church no the poor and that you pay your tithe doesn't stop you from helping the poor. Greedy is unarguably the root cause of tithes controversy. I don't care if it's old or New Testament, just that the word of God can not broken.

It is not the "word of God". It was Hebrew law thousands of years ago. You are not Hebrew. Your pastors are not Levites. Modern Jews don't even pay tithes because there is no Levitical order in modern Judaism. They simply give money for philanthropic ends. It's only a bunch of black-ass niggas in Africa who love to stress on an ancient Judaic law that has nothing to do with them because their pastors spend every Sunday brainwashing them about tithes.

God is God of principle and the greatest givers are tithers. Show me a Christian who pays h/her tithe and I will show you a Christian who cares for the poor.

I am yet to see a Christian that becomes richer by not paying his tithe or become poor for paying his tithe.

A foolish analogy in the emboldened. Neither Jesus Christ, nor his apostles and disciples, nor the early Christians solicited tithes. Infact, the rich young ruler that came to Jesus for counsel on the path to salvation, he was told to sell all he had and give to the poor and follow him. Note that he didn't mention anything about giving to the temple. He explicitly told him to give all that he has to the poor. Clearly, according to the teachings of the Bible, Christ valued the poor far above ancient Jewish laws that fraudulent pastors peddle to their gullible sheep.

Majority of Nigerians would rather give their money to the church than the poor and desperate because they see their tithing like an MMM investment: sowing to reap. And their pastors stress this message telling them about all the abundant blessings that would rain down on them if they are faithful in their tithing and other giving to the church. The charity matters less in the estimation of the tithers than the delusion that they are buying their salvation. You'd see someone that would faithfully pay 10% of his salary every month to the church but wouldn't even spare the change in his pocket to a beggar. Such a person is not driven by charity. He's driven by greed. Is it any wonder that even Yahoo boys pay tithes? grin
