In that case nothing concern you and God as dem no mention your family for bible
of course dem mention my family, because Jesus said he came for the world, and am part of the world, jewish is a religion and not tribe, anyone who is a Jew is entitled to pay tithes

But God said I should eat my tithe.

Show me where God says that I should give it to a pastor

You can help the needy if you want but you cannot give your tithe to them because they are not your God.

Your tithe is to be taken to House of God
show me the passage of the Bible that says so

Why don't you give your salary to the needy, must it be your tithe which is 10% of your income?




You lack common sense

You lack coming sense

Yours is worst.

Your salary is 100k
Tithe 10% which is 10k
Remaining 90k with you.

Your neighbor needs help and you can't help him from the 90k, you now put your eyes on the 10k tithe. Your tithe should be paid in the church that's the instruction.

But when it comes to money.. They quickly run to Malachi 😂😂

ABSOLUTELY
INCLUDING YOUR FAMILY


Deuteronomy 14:29
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.

26 b

Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice.

YES.. The Church was once the needy hence the reason for Tithes. Now Churches have turned out to be business centre's

I stopped giving my tithe to my church wen I discovered that the church does not care for the needy among us. They are only concerned in sending tithes to the GO.

few of us use our tithes to help the needy

It's a sad situation but we wouldn't stop serving him. I know of a former director in oil and gas who usually sits at the back. When church closes he will shake next brother sitting close to him and says God bless you brother, this is for you, a bag with some millions of naira in cash. He disappear into the parking lot before you finish opening the back and come out of the shock and opera. Thats the way he pays his own tithe.

Obedience is better than sacrifice!
Obedience to God or obedience to god of man?........You can't bribe God,

That there will be meat in the house......malachi 3:10b, meaning the proceeds of the tithe is for all the church (members) especially the less privileged,
Today every dick tom and Harry are opening churches everywhere because of the misinterpretation of malachi 3:10.......
Where the congregants will be contributing to the church and the GO as the owner of the church will direct.......
They preach fear into their gullible members to part with their hard earned money to them grin grin grin grin grin grin grin, While they smile to the bank, living luxurious life style, the poor givers becomes poorer and in their ignorant/foolishness, and frustration, they start venting their anger on Buhari and APC government/politicians.........

Christianity in Nigeria have been taken over by the Mammon spirit of greed etc

I am sorry but your question is very foolish! What god do you serve that you will be so comfortable to give your money to it and let a starving person die of hunger?

Giving that money to the needy is more important than giving it to your congregation as tithe.

Tithe? Y your tithe? Y not use part of the 90 percent?
Re: Is It Proper To Give Your Tithe To The Needy? by denitro(m): 8:15am On Feb 19, 2023
purpose of Tithe:
Tithe is 10% of your increase annually.
It is giving to the church who then use it in specific area to further the work of God.
Areas like buildings construction, building rentals, printing of church publications, administrative, paid clergy.

We also have Fast offering.
Purpose of Fast offering:
Fast offering are monies kept when you fast, you keep the cost of the meals you skipped and give it to the church.
These monies are to used to take care of the poor and the needy.

We are also asked to generously give those in need too.
So if you find someone in need, pls use your personal money if you can afford it, if you can't, no bother.
As long as you are obeying the law of tithing and fast offering, you are good.

These laws are higher laws and are not required for everyone to obey.
That is why in the resurrection, people will resurrect at different times. Some in the morning of the 1st resurrect while some
in the evening.
It all depends on the laws obeyed while we lived.
So if you want to obey higher law, pay tithe.
If you want to obey lesser law, complain about churches and skip tithing payment.
God will force no man to heaven.

Let's gather and discuss
It is good but not proper. When u pay ur tithe, God becomes ur shareholder. He would protect ur income and bless the works of hands, neither will u work in vain.
