Tithing is Biblical!
Tithing is God's Commandment!
Tithing is not Salvation. Accepting Jesus Christ is What Gives us Salvation.

Every Part of the Word of God is Relevant to us.
Matthew 5:17-18
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

But this is the Truth!

A Believer who Claims to be Saved and Deliberately and Conciously Refuse to obey God in Tithe Matters may be Shocked at that day!

I Advice you to Pay your Tithe! Not paying your Tithe is Robbing God of His Share in what He gave you.

Ignore men or whoever at their talks! Obey God and His Word..

James 4:17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is Sin

It's a Similar stuff to the Republicans and Democrats in the United States..

You Cannot Claim to Be a Christian or a Believer and Endorse or Support a Party that is against God, against God's Word and Principles and you say u are going to Heaven?

The Democrats of today are totally Anti-God. Yet u see so called Believers Supporting them..

Rapture will Shock people!!

it's people like you that opens to Deuteronomy 14:22-27 and flips over that passage because of your sentiments and hidden motives. Know the truth and let it set you free!

@OP

Tithing is not what gets you to heaven, BELIEVE in Jesus Christ is what guarantees you heaven.

But does that mean tithing is not compulsory? No. Tithing is the law of God which must be obeyed. It comes with a blessing for obeying and a curse for disobeying, same thing with other laws of God.

For example, God said we shouldn't steal. If you obey, which leaves you to within your means, God will bless the little you have such that you won't need to steal. If you don't obey, guess what? If you are caught stealing, you will be disgraced. What if you get sent to prison for 20 years for that?

Do you know how many people don't even know what Instagram, Facebook and Twitter is? They don't know what an Android phone is. Why? Because they have been in prison for more than 20 years and deprived of many things. So, if you don't steal, you don't suffer such.

What I find funny is how stubborn people feel tithing is no more the law of God because it's in the old testament. Okay, God also told us in the old testament that we shouldn't have sex with our mothers father, sister, aunty or close kin in general. The those stubborn people to go and do that since that law is in the old testament.

Dear OP, the way to make heaven is not by tithing. Tithing only helps you here on Earth but also in heaven where you get rewarded for obeying God's commandment. But it plays not part in getting you into heaven. How do you make heaven?

You make heaven by simply believing that Jesus Christ paid for your sins, including the one of not paying tithe. Once you do that, he gives you eternal life and you will never perish according to John 3:16. With that heaven is certain for you and nothing can make you lose it. You already have eternal life which can't be taken from you otherwise it will mean it was never an eternal life God gave you.

But can God punish you for disobedience like not paying your tithe. But will he throw you in hell because of that? No. Why? You are his child which you became the moment you believed in his Son Jesus Christ.

John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

As a parent, you can never burn you child with fire for disobedience. Why should you now think our Heavenly Father will do the same to his children.

Mathew 7:11 KJV
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Accept Jesus Christ today and you will never miss heaven.
Tithing doesn't give you any reward in heaven. Your obedience is in believing in Christ Jesus!
Of what use is paying tithe, and can't be led the by the Spirit?
You guys should get wisdom pls.

Re: Can A Non-tither Make Heaven? by OLAN2015: 3:37pm On Aug 16, 2020
Tithe paid by Abraham and Jacob before they law was a voluntary action. Tithes paid from the time of Moses till the time Malachi was written was commanded in the Law. Tithe paid by the Jews, Pharizees and Saduccees into the temple or synagogue during the time our LORD JESUS was on earth was still according to the law. However, after the death, ressurection and ascention of JESUS CHRIST to heaven and the Disciple/Apostles were driven out of the synagogues, there was never a mention or a record of any Christians paying tithes to the temple anymore . However, voluntary and generous giving was encouraged to the extent that people even sold their lands, gave their life, time , homes etc for the common growth of the Gospel. In the religion of the Jews, even circumcision is stronger than tithing. Hence, when Gentiles started coming into repentance, some zealous Jewish Christians told them to be circumcised and also keep the law of Moses. This cause serious disagreement or argument between these people and Apostle Paul/Barnanbas who believed circumcision or keeping the law of Moses is not necessary anymore. Hence, they wrote a letter to the Christain Elders/Apostles in Jerusalem to seek their advice or directive on these issues. The conclusion of the APOSTLES/ELDERS is this instruction they gave in Acts 15:19-20 ""It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood." These are the only aspects of the Old Testament laws that are still applicable fully even in Christianity till date because it can affect our holiness, sanctification and relationship with the Holy Spirit. However, having said this, as a servant or minister of GOD , I personally pay tithe but don't believe in collecting it from others . My reason for paying tithe is not because of avoiding curse but mainly to help in the propagation or growth of the GOSPEL. When ministers collect tithes from other, it should be used for the purpose for which it is collected. This well stated in Deuteronomy 26: 12........."and has given it (tithe) to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless and the widow that they may eat within thy gates and be filled" and in Malachi 3: 10 ." 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house," . This means tithe should be used to sustain or help the Levites (missionaries, full time ministers), the widow, fatherless, strangers etc. Tithe shoulnd't be gathered together as a source of wealth to buy private jets, build mansions, cathedrals etc while your missionaries , full time ministers, widows, orphans , the poor etc in your churches are suffering. If you want to build a new cathedral, buy jets, buses etc special donations or contributions can be raised for this . Paying tithe is not bad . What is bad is what many modern day Pastors have been doing with it. Some pastorpreneurs even used their tithes or offerings to venture into secular business or investments. Please fear GOD! The house of GOD is a place of prayer and not a market. Is this not similar to why JESUS CHRIST rebuked them in Matthew 21: 12 " Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. " Our LORD JESUS CHRIST catered for both the spiritual and physical needs of his followers. He gave them the Word. He gave them bread and fish. He gave them healing and many other great things. We can continue in that same attitude and action. We shouldn't be called Christians for nothing. Unbelievers should see our churches as the last and only hope in this futile world where the government and every other thing has failed them.

We don't pay tithe to become rich. We pay because it belongs to God who in turn protects us from evil.

We don't pay tithe to become rich because it will be difficult for a rich man to make heaven while easy for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
You are saying otherwise....the Pastorprenours don't sound this way.....you can't pay/bribe God.......if the money belong to God as you claim you won't build expensive schools that the poor can't afford...... giving to God means caring for the less previleged(showing compassion) which majority of you lack.......

So because someone drove on an empty tank, we should jettison the true teachings of Christ? If I may asked, who among the twelve disciples of Jesus paid tithe, and if there was any, unto whom did they pay. Where are those beloved disciples today?

There are principles for us to follow as Christians in the Bible..

If you want to make heaven, all you need is live a holy life and obey God's commandment...

If you want to live a life of abundance, no wastage, no loss and a divine health.. Pay your tithe.. What people don't understand is the work of tithe is not limited to financial provisions alone..

"And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes" in the Bible is not just a mare sentence...

One thing that is also very important in paying your tithe is, make sure the church you're paying your tithe is the type of church that is transparent in how the offering and tithe coming into the church are being spent... Yes! Out of the money entering into the church should be paid as salaries to the pastors for their services but the offering and tithe money doesn't belong to them.. It is for the body of Christ which is the church.. Part of it will be used for evangelizm, winning more souls, helping the needy.. Building more churches across the nation to grow the church, helping the less privileged members of the church.. Atleast all these and more are what we do in our Church..

Don't go to a church that the pastor is secretly worshipping devil to pay your tithe and later be complaining of not seeing any changes after paying tithe.. Be spiritually sensitive!!

I'm a proud tither!
And nothing on earth will stop me from tithing...
The divine health myself and my family are enjoying alone is not something to debate..

Imagine my five year old doesn't understand what injection, not to talk of how a doctor or nurse look like.. Thank God she's been taught in a school �

Enough said!!
He who has ears!!

Paying tithe disqualified you from making heaven because you had fallen short of grace and the death of Christ is in vain upon you. How do I know? Tithe is a law from the old testament while the new testament clearly stated that once you fail in one of the numerous laws of the old testament, you are guilty of all. We have the choice between grace and law. Practicing tithing automatically subscribe you for the law and I am 100% sure all tithers are failing in at least 1 other law which makes them to be guilty of tithing itself. So how can a tither make heaven? Christ said "my yoke is light" but you still prefer the heavy yoke of the law!
