Batam:

There are needy in the church to be considered after your family
Your tithe is for the church any money given to others is a donation which is giving . Also, it's part of Christian works

Stop adding to the word of God, stop saying what God didn’t say. In the book revelation curse is on those who add to the words of God.

God is clear on Tithes, don’t teach us heresies:
Go and read Deuteronomy 14:22-29


22 “You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23 And before the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, cand the firstborn of your herd and flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always. 24 And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there, 25 then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses 26 and spend the money for whatever you desire—oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27 And you shall not neglect fthe Levite who is within your towns, for ghe has no portion or inheritance with you.
28 At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. 29 And the Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.

Then the pastor should give us reference to support his claims from the Bible

He will tells you he prays for you why must you pay in another place , in essence, he labours for you....why taking his share to another place

Tithe is not paid to just anybody but a man of God or to the church

Your pastor will tell you NO, that pay where u worship only .

That pastor go vex tire with me. I pay my tithes to various churches.

If you woshppin in a Bible bilivin church, God is there already

God is everywhere, in your house, in the street, everywhere

He will tells you he prays for you why must you pay in another place �

You don’t need anyone to pray for you, when Christ died the veil of the temple torn into 2 which signified that everyone now had direct access to God through the name of Jesus.

Build a personal relationship with Christ and with God then you can approach the throne of grace through Christ and not through any pastor

richmond500:
There is nothing wrong in giving to ur pastors and there is nothing wrong in not giving to them, but everything is wrong when u don't show love to those who needs it.

Christianity isn't about religion, its a way of life.
U can be in other religions and still practice christianity

This one will sound nice to the ear but it isn't true. You can't serve two masters neither can you follow Christianity and another religion.

Christianity isn't only a way of life. It is the submission and acceptance that the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ the Son of God who was, who is and who is to come.

nnadychuks:
Deuteronomy 14:22-29 has your answer. It's the only portion in the bible that tells us how to tithe. The rest just encourages you why to tithe.
It's funny that pastors have forsaken this part of the bible because it doesn't favor them.

It’s not the fault of the pastors, it’s the fault of the followers who have refused to seek knowledge and read the scriptures on their own
Hosea 4:6

The windows of heaven opened when my tithes started going to people in distress. You are actually free to decide who gets your tithe.

Highzyk:



In as much you never handed your tax to the needy, this op needs spiritual diagnose.

Tithes, like tax, is statutory and must be paid and you are just decieved to think that giving it to the needy frees you the obligation. If for exigency, you did, like tax, it remains unpaid.

BTW, how many of you guys have been moved to give your school fees to the poor and later refuse to meet up paying the school fee?
So-so belial generation

What most of them donot fundamentally realise is that the future of the church their churches is dependent on the faith they are prepared to exercise.

There are countries, nations where the church was once vibrant but the satanic deception of selfishness has turned those churches into museums, libraries, supermarkets and playgrounds today.

Nations that once had sizable Christian populations have been hollowed out and have now become bedrocks of other religions because of the laxity within the church. Like the Bible said. They have all gone out to feather their own nests leaving His house is squalor so they rented to Satan.

Even within Nigeria. Look at the churches that were once vibrant but are now a shadow of themselves and observe an abundance of the 'wise', the crafty and the congregation of the 'smart' who are waiting for manna from heaven while they keep substance beyond their needs.

When you divert what belongs to God and stop giving all together and bills cannot be paid and His church closes down perhaps it is the poor that will preach the Word and lead men to salvation....

The grace will merely move to other mountains where people seek Him in faith.

18wheeler:
During a discussion in church some years back, someone presented two scenarios and asked whether tithe is applied appropriately.

One: a trader that buys goods from Lagos for resell in Jos. At the end of month he pays tithe out of the profits he made from sales of that month because that's his income. In arriving at the profit he would have deducted all his expenses incurred like transport, feeding & accommodation while in Lagos, shop rent, staff salary etc in the course of his business. Then he pays tithe out of what is left.

Two: a government worker who receives salary monthly is expected to pay tithe on the whole amount received. Should he not also deduct his daily transport cost, cost of lunch at least which he takes during work, and all other expenses he incurs in the course of his work and pay his tithe from what is left of his salary?

An argument ensued which remained inconclusive till we departed. Even the priests present at the discussion could not provide clear, convincing answers.
It was a catholic forum BTW.

Tithe was never meant to be paid as money.

Tithe was commanded to be paid only by farmers and herders because the land on which they farm and rear their flocks was given to them by God when he took it away from those he drove away from the land he later gave to Israelites

Go and read Deuteronomy 14:22-29


22 “You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23 And before the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, cand the firstborn of your herd and flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always. 24 And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there, 25 then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses 26 and spend the money for whatever you desire—oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27 And you shall not neglect fthe Levite who is within your towns, for ghe has no portion or inheritance with you.

solomonsly11:
Is that what bible tells you, if you don't want to pay it hold it with you and if you really want to help go ahead and help don't say you used your tithe to help someone in need because there won't be any reward or blessing for doing that

Stop saying what God has not said. Stop adding to the words of God, he has said he would add to the calamities of those who do such

pocohantas:
Overzealous atheists are at it again.

Tithe is tithe and it is very different from charity works. However, they are not mutually exclusive (i.e)they can both run concurrently.

If you are not into paying tithe, that is okay. Go ahead and help the needy. But don’t come here with questions like this, aimed at instigating trouble.

P.S I am not a sheeple or whatever it is you call religious folks. T for tenkzzzz

They are not atheists, they are only following the law of God that today’s pastors have twisted to suit their greed:

Ehe, what u said which the base should be from verse 29 is supporting verse 28 which has a clause of "at the end of every 3years"
It doesn't mean u shouldn't pay tithe every other years in a usual manner of taking it to the levites but at the end of these three years it is going to be different and that's when it is supported u give it to any one in need and also the men of God won't be in exception.
The one wey dey vesi me na even verse 23b which is not obtainable in any way. We suppose dey enjoy for church every Sunday, in short anybody who don't have food in his house suppose use church get hope but e no dey work na only talking and talking and talking everytime

You are free to give the poor or needy ones whatever you want. But Tithe the 10% is meant for the church. Why is this tin so hard to understand.

It’s hard to understand because what u wrote is not the truth, that is not what the scriptures say:

Don't twist the Bible , Tithe is paid into the house of God, read your Bible, Malachi 3:10,
If you want to help the poor Psalms 41:1-3 ,there are blessings and God promises attached to it, if you pay your tithe in the House of God there are blessings and God promises attached to it.

So don't twist the Bible, you can choose to be helping the poor or paying your tithe

You’re the one who is twisting the Bible.

You’re very right and the one that surprised me is that tithes isn’t even supposed to be paid as money but they’ve lied to Christians today that tithe is money.

There was money when that law on tithe was made, yet God never said people should pay tithe with money

Dreamhighnow:
Tithe is meant for the gospel. Nothing else. If you now like, give 80 percent to beggars. Na u know

Simple question you can’t answer because u knew it will expose your deceit.

Tell us according to the Bible where the Lord has chosen for us to go and eat our tithes and merry before him and tell us where you do your own.

Wherein have I deceived in raising up The Very Words of The Lord as ye yourself have seen with thine own eyes?

Now the evil you are has revealed itself simply because I have brought it before your eyes that You Truly have to Love The Lord To Find Him, which apparently is a very very hard thing for you, which is not my fault but yours.

So you can always continue in your own way, no one is compelling you, after all it is your own soul that you are driving in the direction you want to, even if it is into a volcano or the bush or the beach.

Your road, your drive!

denitro:
We have tithes and offerings.
Tithes - 10% of your interest annually, which is to be paid to the church and such will be kept in the Lord's storehouse.
The purpose of tithes is to help move the work of God.
Usage is specific - the building of church building, ecclesiastic duties - clerical budget, travel, and unit allocations.

Offerings - These are voluntary payments made to the church different from tithes.
The purpose of the offering is to help the poor and the needy in the church.
Usage is specific - Taking care of the widow and orphans, poor and the needy in the church, and anyone who is in need.

WHY you cannot give your tithe to those in need, is simple tithes is not for that purpose.
Can I give my offering to those in need? No, the reason why is because once someone is in need, it is a teaching moment and the
church uses such opportunity to counsel and provide short and long-term plans to help that person become self-reliant. And the offering belongs to God and God alone reserves the right to decide how his funds are disbursed, we don't have any right to disburse it ourselves.
I don't want to give my tithe to my pastor, he uses it for his own personal gain, what should I do?
The purpose of paying tithe is to solely build the faith of the person paying, God doesn't need our money and is happy
when we obey laws and build our trust in Him, the greater sin will be on the pastor and no blessing promised the faithful tithe payer will be lost.
Laws and commandments, in the end, will preserve us, and doing our best to strive to keep those laws will bless those who keep
those laws

And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God.
For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true;
for the Lord God hath spoken it.

You’re changing the words of God, that’s a great sin

I once asked similar question, can I pay my tithe to the church I see struggling financially? and was told I have to pay it to the church where I worship. That, that's where you're getin ur blessings from. You can always Saw seed and render assistance outside your tithe.

Well i usually distribute it among the young growing churches as well as my current church a least let there be food in the house of the Lord.
The reason i never miss paying my tithe to God was when I was stranded with a bad car and a scared driver so we trekked to a nearby church for help and the Priest not only took care of us but gave us money and said they were used to it - people coming everyday for aims.
Pay your tithe people and as well help people around you.

richmond500:
I don't have any problem if u pay ur tithe in church but its also good if we try and show love to people cos God is love, u cannot be buying private jets for ur pastor and never think of giving at least 100m to orphanage, it doesn't sit well with me

Giving to the orphanage is not for a select crew of Nigerians

What of you? do you give to orphanages every month?

Tithes is only meant to be paid to the church, other offerings like free will, Thanksgiving, etc can be used for the needy around not necessarily be an NGO.

Dtruthspeaker:


Deuteronomy 12:11 is The Law.

then it shall come about that THE PLACE in which the Lord your God will choose for His name to dwell, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, YOUR TITHES AND THE CONTRIBUTION OF YOUR HAND, and all your choice votive

It is about The Holy Place Where God resides. even if his preists are as Eli and Samuel's children.

You still dey quote the Old Testament? So, you are overriding JESUS words in Mathew 25 with Old Testament words? JESUS said "give to the poor", the Old Testament said "bring to the Temple". I thought JESUS words should override the Old Testament. Do you want to make Heaven like this?

Dtruthspeaker:


Wherein have I deceived in raising up The Very Words of The Lord as ye yourself have seen with thine own eyes?

You didn’t give us the full scripture, I gave you the full one in Deuteronomy 14:22-29 u saw it and acted as if you didn’t.

You saw that God said you can eat your tithe, use it to help people and that tithe is not money but u acted as if you didn’t see it instead u dwelt on the fact that tithe should be paid where God has chosen. I asked u to tel me where God has chosen, instead of you to give a scriptural reference you started saying a different thing then I asked you to tell me where God as chosen for you where u pay your tithe as commanded by God in Deuteronomy but u didn’t answer.

Tell us where u pay your tithe as commanded by God let’s come and learn from you since you’re the only one that you know where God has chosen for tithes to be paid

richmond500:
God is omnipresent.

According to Matt.25, If u give to those who need, u have given to God,
and tithe is all about giving to God

The bible was clear when he said , bring all tithe to the house of God.
When the woman brought the expensive perfume and announced the foot of Jesus , many frowned and said it should have been sold and given to the poor (the same poor) but Jesus stopped them and said the woman honored him - So honor God with your tithe and obey him by bringing it to his house.
Of course you can take care of the poor around and yes that's also service to God.
But TITHE to God cannot be substituted for another and must be obeyed.
How much is this TITHE that people keep debating and twisting it all over and over again

28 At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. 29 And the Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.

You still dey quote the Old Testament? So, you are overriding JESUS words in Mathew 25 with Old Testament words? JESUS said "give to the poor", the Old Testament said "bring to the Temple". I thought JESUS words should override the Old Testament. Do you want to make Heaven like this?

so everything is old testament should be thrown away ??
Uncle how much is this tithe that you want to even mess everything up ?

You didn’t give us the full scripture, I gave you the full one in Deuteronomy 14:22-29 u saw it and acted as if you didn’t.

You saw that God said you can eat your tithe, use it to help people and that tithe is not money but u acted as if you didn’t see it instead u dwelt on the fact that tithe should be paid where God has chosen. I asked u to tel me where God has chosen, instead of you to give a scriptural reference you started saying a different thing then I asked you to tell me where God as chosen for you where u pay your tithe as commanded by God in Deuteronomy but u didn’t answer.

Tell us where we pay your tithe as commanded by God let’s come and learn from you since you’re the only one that you know where God has chosen for tithes to be paid

How much is this tithe that people will debate over it from now to everlasting yet the poor are still there.

Over the years I have alway give out 70% my tithe to the needy because I do not have children to care for. I will advice you to increase your tithe and give them to the needy, you can also help the church because it is good. If you are a very rich man and can't go out, then set up your own personal trusted NGO committee and pay all your tithe to those handicap and sufferers out there.

NOTE
I can give to a pastor or church God has used to better my life but I personally pay my tithe to the needy

Tithe is for the needy

Follow my way
