Tithe is not ticket to heaven. And no where in the entire bible that says paying your Tithe is your gateway to heaven The word of God says "Give your heart to me your Lord God." The word of God says "repent of all your sins and accept Jesus as your personal saviour" The word of God "say pay your Tithe so there will be food in my house, test me with this *if I will not open the gate* of Blessing upon you" meaning Tithe is good, it is personal but never your ticket to heaven. Don't be confused pls, Tithe is good if you believe in it but pls it's not a ticket to heaven. Good day. |

No. Tithing ensures and secures your blessings on Earth, only holiness will take you to heaven. |

Paying your tithe doesn't guarantee you a place in heaven. What guarantees you a mansion in heaven is your WALK with God, not just your WORK for God. |

Tithe payment is not for Christians, it is therefore a sin for a Christian to give and to receive tithe today. |

What you are asking is like a student who just finished secondary school and wants to enter into the University.... To gain admission into the University.....one must take .... Waec and Jamb abi .... Then write the aptitude test of the University .... That's how entering heaven is. ..... If you pass one and fail the other ...you hold onto the one you passed and pursue to pass the other..... So paying of tithe is not a criteria but one of the criteria ..... And anyone who pays tithe yet unrepentant is just a gambler of God's blessings |

If a sinner will enter heaven because he/she pays tithe,then tithe has become a bribe. That would be the doctrine that takes the church back to the dark ages of penance. jesusjnr2020: 1 Like |

Nope. Heaven is not for sale. You must repent and give your life to Christ and walk in His ways to make Heaven. |

Jesus told you categorically what it took when the disciples asked him, he said...love the lord your God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself... Jesus also told you the fruits of the spirit...in all these he didn't mention tithes. Tithes were for Levites, because they didn't work, had to feed with that, the issue of tithing has been abused. The general overseers are supposed to use tithe to feed the poor and for welfare of the poor, widows, members of the church and ministers in need. Tithe is not for the pastor or general overseer to buy jets and rolls Royce etc. The bible, heaven and hell are all metaphorical. |

1Co. 15:49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven. Going to heaven is not as simple as churches make it to sound. Only those that attain the likeness of the man from heaven can go to heaven. |

jesusjnr2020: ++++++++ Indeed! Yet we remember that it is GOD Himself Who gives eternal life to a person He saves from judgement - through His is infallible Word (John 3:16/John 1:1, Romans 10:17) Yes, repent by the grace of GOD... yet always "‘...Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts...." - Zechariah 4:6... so we constantly cry out to the Lord GOD for mercy and grace and strength to repent and to do so substantively, continuously unto salvation. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" - Ephesians 2:8 |

The concept of salvation, according to Christian beliefs, is complex and goes beyond the act of tithing. The Christian perspective on salvation is generally based on faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, repentance of sins, and acceptance of God's grace. Tithing, which involves giving a tenth of one's income, is often considered an act of obedience and worship, but it is not the sole determinant of salvation. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God and is received through faith. For example, in Ephesians 2:8-9 (New International Version), it is stated: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." Tithing is discussed in the Old Testament, particularly in books like Leviticus and Malachi. In the New Testament, Jesus affirms the importance of justice, mercy, and faithfulness (Matthew 23:23), but the emphasis shifts from a rigid adherence to specific laws to a deeper understanding of one's heart and relationship with God. It's important to note that different Christian denominations may have variations in their teachings on salvation and the role of tithing. Ultimately, the question of an individual's salvation is a matter of faith and personal relationship with God, and the Bible encourages believers to seek a genuine, transformative relationship with Christ. |

jesusjnr2020: You can’t buy salvation. So keep your money . But that begs to ask - what’s your definition of a sinner ? Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and saviour ? |

Tithing is an old testament practice. One-tenth of your farm produce. D New Testament made for giving on one's volution or freewill. D thing wey dey vex me be d kain special prayers wey pastors dey hammer on those wey come with their tithe. In some churches, before or after the general offering,d pastor go ask those wey come with their tithes to come to the front and he will invoke d whole blessings on dem. Whossai....man no be God. Tithe is outdated based on the death of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary at the point of which the Veil was torn into two. |
Re: Will A Sinner Who Pays Tithe Make Heaven? by TheGift: 3:02pm On Dec 03, 2023 |
jesusjnr2020: This question is irrelevant, because contrary to the prevalent false teaching, believers in Christ are not under the Law the PAY tithes, rather they should give freely as they have received freely, each Man should give as He has purposed in His heart. Not under compulsion, but willingly and cheerfully for God loved a cheerful giver. |
Re: Will A Sinner Who Pays Tithe Make Heaven? by BananaPeel(m): 3:15pm On Dec 03, 2023 |
jesusjnr2020: To start with,how many times does your church preach about tithing? No church leader, I've not seen one, that preach about tithing than other important things. Tithing is a commandment and a true Christian will never argue about it. Paying tithe is never a qualification to go to heaven. |
Re: Will A Sinner Who Pays Tithe Make Heaven? by BananaPeel(m): 3:18pm On Dec 03, 2023 |
TheGift: Tithing is a commandment and others such as offering,giving to less privileged etc. is a proof of your love for God. Only tithe has a formula and that's the reason a lot of people talk it down. |

Smartguyboy: If you have a property in the US, it remains yours there but you cannot gain entry to that country without a valid visa. Faith in Christ alone saves you. Please, understand Christ's redemption work, a marvellous work of grace, a perfect work that makes your soul clean from every dirt of sin. That alone is your visa to heaven. That's why Jesus told the man to come to Him and follow Him after doing charity with his possessions, because his blessings in heaven will be there but he himself won't be there if he doesn't come back to Christ and follow Him. |
Re: Will A Sinner Who Pays Tithe Make Heaven? by seunayantokun(m): 4:06pm On Dec 03, 2023 |
stasius:Fervent charity means fervent love towards God and your fellow humans. Read 1Corinthians 13 to further see that charity is used to mean God's on kind of love. In the context of the verse you quoted, the Bible is addressing what relationship among fellow Christians should be: in such situation, real love doesn't look for others' wrongdoings and seek to so deal with them, but is ready to show understanding and forgive. That kind of love is also given to generousity. Understand? |
