It's a nice gesture to take care of the weak, widows and other less privileged ones among us. For this I highly commend her selfless act.

But if my debtor uses the money she's owing me to feed the poor, I will get her arrested and charged to court. It doesn't matter how rich I am.

The same thing will probably happen if you refuse to pay your taxes because you are using the money to take care of the poor.

Not everyone must give tithes.
But if you claim to be a [b]Christian the Bible makes it compulsory[/b] for you. Whether tithe money is misappropriated by men who claim to be God sent is irrelevant, if you don't trust your pastor then switch your place of worship.
Compulsory indeed......yet the poverty in the land is skyrocketing.........133million Nigerians are living in poverty.........

Who determines what old testament rules christians should follow and the ones they shouldn't please?

And what is the exact law on tithe

Deuteronomy 26:12
[12]When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied.

Why is it that our pastors skip this portion of the bible when talking about tithe?

Is there something our pastors are not telling us??

Very stupid reasoning.......you keep encouraging these criminals/pulpit bandits yet you blame your poverty/bad economy on government/politicians alone......

Government deducts a minimal amount of your money(salary) as tax to and builds basic amenities including roads you pass etc.......
You volunterily give almost half of your income to a church and there's nothing in return rather they ask you to bring more....
continue praying while they are living large on your money/sweat........

This is an excellent way of contributing to humanity. Unfortunately all Tithes and offerings goes straight to G O's pockets, while brainwashed congregants wallow in poverty. And more to this, leaders live in extravagance and have all they need now, while the less privileged members depend on a promised heavenly bliss
I am waiting for the day a G.O will send a tenth of the tithe he/she has collected to the Levi tribe in the present day Israel. grin

* Your pastors and mogs blow the trumpet telling the world when they give yet you don't bother subjecting them to scrutiny against the standard that is Jesus Christ.

* Your same pastors and mogs demand tithes and offerings from you regularly yet not once do you lot condemn them for that which is blatantly against Jesus Christ in Matthew 17 vs 24 - 26.

So, why do you raise Jesus Christ as a standard against this woman because she refused to obey your pastors and mogs? undecided

First of not all pastors blow the trumpet when giving, remove that stereotypical thought from your head. Second, the hypocritical society pressurise other pastors to display giving just to win sympathy

Proper and accurate.

Jesus told the people that they didn't take care of him when he was in need. They retorted that Jesus had never been in need (like today's Pastor) but Jesus in His wisdom told them as long as they did not do it to their neighbors who are needy around them, thy have not done it for him.

Two commands only are propagated by Jesus:
Love God
&
Love your neighbor.

Period.

If you see a hungry sibling, friend or neighbour and you pass with your tithe simply because you want to go tender it in church, you are a hypocrite and of all men most miserable.
YOU KNOW NOT GOD!


Matthew 25:41-46
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me,(L) you who are cursed, into the eternal fire(M) prepared for the devil and his angels.(N) 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’(O)

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life
Love your mention. May God continue to bless you for this. People are damn ignorant of the two greatest commandment of God (Love for God and Love for fellow neighbors).

It's a good for a Christian to follow this woman pattern as tithes were not the teaching of Jesus Christ but commanded us to give.

This rubbish needs to stop, very soon more people will stop paying tithes and my dream of buying a house in banana island, buying expensive bulletproof cars, Private jets, and flying abroad for evangelism would be dashed to pieces. I repeat this nonsense has to stop.

The Bible stated clearly that you should bring your tithes to the house of God and not a widows house. angry

Why can't people just obey the Bible?

I wouldn't say what I've seen concerning her until after 3 market days.

This I have seen.

I’m here to hear your 3 market days revelation on her grin should we give you more market days
Market days are for Oracles and ancestors not for prophets

Where do you know as the household of God?

God dwells in man and that is why he said that "your body is my dwelling place, keep your body clean".

So the lady did the right thing by using the tithe to build for God.

God bless u for this submission. We make up what is called the church. What was the responsibility of the church in the New testament according to the book of ACT 1. promote spiritual growth ~ Act 2:42-47 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer 2. The care of the poor widows and the needy. At the time, the number of the disciples was greatly increasing. A complaint arose from the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews because the Grecian widows were being neglected in the daily ministry. 2 The twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, 'It's not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables. 3 Therefore brethren, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom. 4 Then we can appoint those men over this business, and we apostles will continue to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.' ” (Acts 6:1-4). The church has neglected these duties and the goal now is how to build multi billion dollar auditorium, university etc which poor people can barely afford

God bless you. U have said it all.
All ur tithe is used for building new branches and mega multibillion auditoriums while the needy sheeps are told to keep praying.
