Since you know my Bible more than me, why not tell me what your own Bible says instead of whipping up sentiments.

I don't have to spoon feed you. Even if i tell you, you will still want to argue. Hence the reason i asked you to do your own research. What you find out for your self while reading will be difficult for someone to convince you otherwise. This being said, go read up Deut 14:22-29, Deut 26:12-13, Neh 10: 38, mal 3:10.

Only a fool would give money to the poor and the sick.

The Bile says they will always be with us. Most of them are sinners and are already hellbound.

For me and my family we will give instead to my pastor so I can make Heaven and sit and rule at the right hand of my Jesus eternally.

I am a Christian but I'll tell you that you're very stupid for this (emphasis on the stupid).

Who says you can't give your tithe to the Needy and poor??
Go and read Deuteronomy 26: 12-13 and come back and say that again. It is the Bible that said it, not me. Unless you want to say that that portion of the Bible is false.

This portion of the Bible is one the Pastor will never allow the congregation to know.

Deuteronomy 26: 12- 13- When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
13. Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:

We know tithe is to the store house of God(bring all the tithe in to my store house so that there may be meat in my house) . Meat for the needy. Giving to God is one and the same thing as giving to the needy.(if you do it to the least of my brethren you are doing it to me). What the church does is take your tithe and offerings to the needy but if they are not doing it I don't know. if you are with your tithe and face this situation I think the wise thing to do is to give to the needy(GOD).

The envelope the church goer has on him says offering and tithe.
If I recall correctly, offering is a whole hearted sacrifice you make to God and must not necessarily be given in the church while tithe is a compulsory payment made by the faithful to God for the growth of the church.
Following this logic, since he has his offering and tithe in the same envelope, he can simply take out the offering he could have given God in the church and give to the less privileged since the location does not matter, then go to church and submit his tithe.

let's stop deceiving ourselves, the money in his hand isn't going to any god anywhere, it's simply going to the church account owned and controlled by the owner to be used for whatever he likes.

However, if you don calm down, when you are no longer full of yourself and are ready to learn, we go explain am give you. We go even tell you the true shortcomings of today's pastors on a global scale in relation to the Tithing mandate. Not all these thrash flying around, but quit your foolishness first.

Is Mark 7:7-12 in your Bible?
Mark 7:7-12.
"Their worship is a farce,

for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’d

8For you ignore God’s law and substitute your own tradition.”

9Then he said, “You skillfully sidestep God’s law in order to hold on to your own tradition. 10For instance, Moses gave you this law from God: ‘Honor your father and mother,’e and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’f 11But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’g 12In this way, you let them disregard their needy parents. 13And so you cancel the word of God in order to hand down your own tradition. And this is only one example among many others.”

The same excuse the Pharisees gave Jesus.
They refused to take care of their aged parents because their money is Corban

If we must be religious about tithe I think there different types of tithes and it’s not only ment for the church.

The rule is clear. Matthew 5 vs 42 which is repeated in Proverbs 3 vs 28. If your neighbor ask you for something you have in your hands, don't say "come back tomorrow", give it to him. undecided

ILoveDemMANNA:

WWJD?
If people answers this question/saying truthfully, this world will be a much better place for us to live in.

Meanwhile.....

I come across this very lately.

he asked what would Jesus do. Hmm
first and foremost Jesus did not come so that the poor would get rich , john10 .10 said I came that they might have life and have it more abundantly. He told Judas when he was saying that all the money they used in buy the expensive perfume that that woman poured on the feet of Jesus should have been sold and give to the poor. Jesus replied him that me I will not be always with you, but the poor will be always with you.

what Jesus will do is simply to finds out If they have any ailments like the ones we sees on the road on daily basis and heal them. that's if he were led to do so. But to give them money is no no-no for him, wait for a minute does he even have? Even Jesus does not fall into the categories of rich people while he was on the earth including his disciples have you seen them sharing money before? But they have been seen performing miracles here and there. and preaching about Jesus and the kingdom of God wherever they goes.

2 Secondly the envelope were strictly for tithe and the Bible which he was carrying with did not say he should take it to the poor either but to the store house so that there would be food in my house
Am quoting Malachi 3. So the church are to decide what happened to the money not you. Because there are people who works in the vine yard, we also have the poor and the needy in the church, some pastors are not even working apart from working for God, if he comes to beg you for money you will also mock him and why didn't God pay him since he is working for God. In fact I don't even support church carrying food and money looking for who to give, it left for the poor and the needy to go to the church and receive their own share of the money and from there they will be made to hear the word of God which have the capacity to change and transform their lives.

You see a lots of people used to think that Church is a charity organization or a governmental organization that looks after the poor Lol, even the church needs help from the government because we have a lots of poor people among us. UK government pays the church some amount of money monthly and yearly, so the church does not want to depend on anybody for survival, that why we help ourselves and this is done through tithe and offering, vows and donations and the lord is blessing us because of this love.
1 we have the mind that if we give this money we have given it to God and he is the one to pay us. Now next week Sunday is our thanksgiving and we are calling everybody to come and eat and celebrate with us so where do you think we got this money from?

My brother to be rich and to be poor is the things of mine and is a choice to make. yes you are the one to make the choice you choose where to belong.

I want to ask you a question . Where do you think I belong rich or poor?
May be you might think I belong to the rich but you are still right anyway but as am talking to you now I don't have five thousand in my account, I can even screen shot it for you to see. But in my mind am a rich man and am also a giver and we make many rich and my God never put me to shame he takes care of my needs did you know how much I spent doing my father's burial as an igbo man you know what am talking about lord do it in a marvelous ways. My father did not spent one month in the mortuary, people were asking questions were and how do they got money because we did it in a big way.

Yes Jesus also feed people. But he didn't took the food to them. He feeds people who were listening to his sermon because they have been there for awhile and now hungry he did not want to send them away but decided to give them something to eat, you knows the story

How much did Nigeria government realized from covid 19 fund? running into billions of naira, Did you receive any alert? those are the people who supposed to help the poor after all the money were ment for the poor yet they share it among themselves. I shake my head when I heard that some churches also gave government money for that purpose is that not madness when there are poor people in the church to Carter for.

listen sir. I also gave money to beggars if I have money with me or if an led to so. If my brother is hungry and I have something with me I will gladly give him but to package my tithe and decided to give it to beggars is no go area for me even most of them might even be Boko Haram financial who will later come and collect it from them.

Take it from me their is no Christian beggar, we are from the child of the promise and not from the bond woman we are givers, builders, helpers connectors, financials elevators, we are not beggars it is not in our dictionary but we have those who are in needs and they do not remain on the floor forever we assist them to stand again and they continue to fly like eagle.
Eagle does not give birth to chicken.

I thank God that I belong to the family of eagle. Alleluia. I don't know where you belong?

Sorry for the long sermon.

God bless you.

Proflere:
Why must he dip hands in his 90% again when he can actually give the 10% to the person that needs it the most (the needy).

What makes you think he is richer than the so called beggar? because he is putting on tie and dress neatly and have envelope on him? Don't be surprised that the so Called beggar might have more money than him. begging is a profession today, give him 1000000 the next day you will still see him there.

I should carry my 10 percent and give him while the government that rakes money in billions should looks away.
