Pauldollars: It isn't my concern even if I sowed on the "roadside," "amongst the thorns," or "on the Rocky place"? When you pay your tithe, you follow through how it's spent. Otherwise, some folks would be buying groundnuts with your money in exchange for blessings they have no power to give. 3 Likes |

There's nothing anybody in this life can tell that will make me stop tithing. All these carnal arguments swayed me, until I got a divine revelation that reset my brain and now I NEVER miss a payment. 3 Likes 1 Share |

jesusjnr:Jesus was under the law, so speaking against tithing would have been blasphemy...This is no way means Jesus was in support of tithing. Tithing was a law and the law was meant for a purpose. It today's generation that law is not required 3 Likes |

Tithing is sinful. Christians are not to pay tithes. It negates the very death of Christ. 1 Like |

Deuteronomy 14:22-29 New International Version (NIV) Tithes 22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 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. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own. 28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. 3 Likes |

Reading and learning but I ask this...why is it that most Christian in Africa always pay tithe but find it hard to give? Why is it that most Muslim don't tithe and find it easy to give? Why do they say that Muslim are the richest people in the world but still yet they don't tithe? Is there any where it is in the bible where God say pay you tithe cause I own that 10percent or it belongs to me? Is there any law in the bible that instruct all Believers of God/Christ to pay tithe? Does the likes of mark zukerberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett etc has ever come out or a church come out to say they tithe? ( Mind you all the people give freely even if it means stock market falling ) Lot of questions to ask am still not understanding. 3 Likes |

dermmy:Lol, I’ve never been against giving to promote God’s work or to help others. What I’m against is spreading false doctrines to deceive people into giving, and giving with a selfish mindset of what to expect in return. The thing is, the more one loves God and his neighbour, the more such person is inclined to give (money, skills, time etc) to help others, and promote the kingdom. Love for God/neighbour makes a person selfless. But love of money, makes one greedy/selfish and would easily subscribe to these ear-itching heretic doctrines. 2 Likes |

jesusjnr: Hey bro, good morning. Been a while. Quick question to ask, who were those instructions for specifically, everyone who followed Jesus? Let’s also relate this with Matthew 23 v 23. Me thinks if this instruction applied to all the followers of Jesus, perhaps the Roman centurion whom Jesus healed his son for example would have resigned from his position, sold all his possessions to follow Jesus. Perhaps Zaccheus would have gone beyond just restitutions, he should have resigned from his lucrative tax collecting job, sold off all his possessions to follow Jesus. Let’s look at those instructions closely and see if it’s for every believer to follow. Or for a certain set of people, and what were the circumstances that led Jesus into advising them to do so. Jah bless. 1 Like |

YungJo207: Good questions brother. I stopped paying my tithe a few months ago because I do not see the essence. This tithe issue was meant to feed the then levites in the Bible because they did not work and all they did was serve God on behalf of the people. Now how we follow through with this tithe issue so closely is what baffles me. This is something that belongs to the old testament. If we are considering old testament doctrines why do we skip sacrifices and burnt offerings and many other doctrines that follow. Jesus never mentioned anything about tithe let's not deceive ourselves. That he said give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God is not enough to say he was referring to tithing. All he preached about was love. So it is stupid to tell a brother in need that you do not have money to pay his medical bills but you have tithe to give to God. That is just plain hypocrisy. Tithe is old testament and it is a cultural thing for the jews not for this day and age. If anything bad is happening to anyone and they think it's as a result of not paying tithe, it's just their minds playing tricks on them. Like you rightly said the likes of Bill Gates do not pay tithe, they give out of free will. These people have never said the source of their wealth and blessings is as a result of the tithe they pay or attendance to any religion. I respect the devout Muslims. The true ones. I have eaten their Salah food many times when one time in my life I was broke and working as a security guard. I went with my plate and they did not ask me if I was Muslim as a matter of fact these people were agberos in the market then and they saw nothing wrong with giving us food. Christians only speak and never act. Ask for help from a Christian and he will tell you stupid things like - God bless you, God is in control, I am rich, it shall be well, let us pray. How does that solve my problem? 7 Likes |

I can recall some few years ago when AG was having serious issues. The issues was more intenised in Enugu State. My dad stopped paying tithe rather he switched his tithe to the local church in my village and some retired pastors. When I asked him why he did that, he said that his tithe and offering cannot be used in making and settling cases on and out of court rooms. Sincerely, I am more comfortable sharing the title amongst almajiri children, beggars and etc. 3 Likes |

twilliamx:You will eventually let the house to someone if you keep searching, telling God you'll give him money in exchange is nonsense, promising God you'll help someone in need sounds good. That's what he wants you to do, not giving the money to a pastor who doesn't need it. I don't care, I was a worker in the church for 4 years, I go to church 6 times a week, I saw the evil the pastors do there and how they mismanage church funds. His wife doesn't even cook, I used to go to buy food for them from Kilimanjaro, sometimes they even trash the food without touching it. Very wasteful people! 5 Likes |

I'm particularly concerned why the focus is so much on tithing. The unwarranted focus is why eyebrows are being raised. Mention it, but dont dwell on it, as it is not a prerequisite for heaven. Jesus said it Himself. But you overflog it, thus leading to questions, afterall, you said if they tithe, there will be Mal. 3:10. What if they aren't interested? Let it go. But No! You must force it down their throats. I'm an advocate of giving to the church, but not in the form of tithes. 3 Likes |
