Some People Believe Tithe Payments Is Wrong And Christ Never Collected Tithes During His Days On Earth. I Will Prove To You All ( Those Interested To Know ) That Tithes Payment Is Biblical And Christ Collected Tithes From Abramham.
In Genesis Chapter 14 Verse 18 To 20, Melchizedek Who Was Later Know As Jesus Christ In His Pre-human Days, Collected Tithes From Abramham Whom Abramham Met When He Was Come Back From The Slaughter Of The Kings. This Was Collaborated In Hebrews Chapter 7 Vs 1 To 4.

BIBLICAL BACKING
In Malachi Chapter 3 Vs 8 To 11. The Blessings That Will Follow Those That Comply And The Curses Are All Written There.

WHAT IS TITHES USE FOR?

Tithes Is Used To Maintain God's Organisation, The Works Of Preaching And To Take Care Of The Preachers Who Works In God Vineyard. Since They Do Not Work.
Reverse Is The Case Now. Fake Church Organisations Now Use It To Buy Private Jets, Build Universities That Their Members Can't Afford. Their End Is Near. So, Find A True Church Of God And Pay Your Tithes.

Tithe is pure fraud and you should not be an advocate. Allow people to enjoy their sweat. Stop looking for people to brainwash . I suggest you go and work. Tell your god to fend for himself.

The whole concept of tithing is based on a Principle - Giving to support God's work. Now, whether you give 5%, 10% or 100% of your income to a local church where you attend or a missionary organization that God has used to bless you, it's up to you to follow the leading of the Spirit behind the Principle.

NB: It's not by force to tithe your income, no devourer is coming after your finances because we are under grace not under law but there is always a blessing attached to being faithful to God in any way.

Obligatory and/or imposed ecclesiastial monitised tithing is a deviation and is illegal.

When pro-tithers are ready to show us where God specifically mentioned money as part of the items to be tithed, then they should know that monetary tithing is unscriptural.




When God required money for the needs of the Temple, He specifically mentioned where all Israelite males should be levied a temple tax of half a shekel every year. That was an instance of God clearly asking for money.

Refer to Exodus 30 v 13-16 for where God gave the instruction through Moses;

13 This shall every man give, that goeth into the number, half a shekel, after the [a]shekel of the Sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs) the half shekel shall be an offering to the Lord.
14 All that are numbered from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the Lord.
15 The rich shall not pass, and the poor shall not diminish from half a shekel, when ye shall give an offering unto the Lord, for the redemption of your lives.
16 So thou shalt take the money of the redemption of the children of Israel, and shalt put it unto the use of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the Lord, for the redemption of your lives.


BASED ON THE ABOVE, IT WAS CLEAR WHEN GOD ASKED FOR MONEY TO MAINTAIN THE TEMPLE... NOW LET US EXAMINE GOD'S REQUIREMENT FOR TITHES

Refer to Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29;

22 Thou shalt give the tithe of all the increase of thy seed, that cometh forth of the field year by year.
23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God (in the place which he shall choose to cause his Name to dwell there) the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstborn of thy kine, and of thy sheep, that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.
24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is far from thee, where the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name, when the Lord thy God shall bless thee,
25 Then shalt thou make it in money, and take the money in thine hand, and go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose.
26 And thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thine heart desireth: whether it be ox, or sheep, or wine, or strong drink, or whatsoever thine heart desireth: and shalt eat it there before the Lord thy God, and rejoice, both thou, and thine household.

27 And the Levite that is within thy gates, shalt thou not forsake: for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee.
28 At the end of three years thou shalt [e]bring forth all the tithes of thine increase of the same year, and lay it up within thy gates.
29 Then the Levite shall come, because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, and shall eat, and be filled, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

Based on the above verses, God clearly mentioned what is titheable, and money was not part of the items to be tithed.

IN CONCLUSION:
So any fraudster that comes with the excuse that money was not in use because the Israelites were predominantly farmers and cattle rearers...should read Exodus 30 v 13-16 and explain to us why God demanded money from these same Israelites...but specified crops and livestock as tithes in Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29;

Also, I'll be waiting for scriptural references where God made tithing mandatory for gentiles as well.

While it is good to obey God's commandments by giving to the work of God, unfortunately our people have twist this God's commands to profit ventures,
Schools built by Church money are missionary schools not private schools where over 70% of it's members can't afford the fee.
The Church is the people/members of the Church not the expensive structures.
Today a lot of people are beginning to ask questions because they have seen the fraud.
Developed Countries don't used Church as source of income only in Africa/Nigeria hence the high rate of poverty.
My people perish for lack of knowledge
