Why are you talking as if you are doing God or the church a favour by paying tithe. If you disagree with the church change church. If you decide to stay, pay it there.

yes...mal 3:10....pastors are in charge of house of God

Lolz. That law is for those practicing Judaism.. We practice Christianity and the new testament mode of giving involves giving freely what comes from your heart.
Purpsoe of tithe is so that food can be in God's house, not to make your pastor rich. Since you've been giving tithe, how much food have you seen in God's house?

levites are priests.... My pastor is my priest

A Levite doesn't own properties.

Does your pastor own any property to his name?

If so, your pastor is not a Levite and doesn't qualify for tithe collection

I have so many questions bordering me and I want christians in the house to help me.

1.Is it acceptable to withhold tithes if I disagree with the pastor's or the church's spending?

2. can I pay my tithe in the different church fromt the one I attended?

3. Is it correct for a pastor of a church and his family to use the church income, i.e. tithes, offering and third party income for their own use, especially since the church is not registered as their property? If no , what do you call their actions

4. Is it biblically okay for most of the pastors to ask for tithe on every Sunday? I mean why do they have to remind them every time, instead of letting people choose if they are okay to give their money!

5. can pastor says my church?

6.Which is better, tithing in a rich church where the pastor has his own flight or giving money to a street preacher?

7 .Why does my pastor make me feel guilty for not tithing when I cannot afford it?





You can pay tithe if you are a Jew and follow the law.
Re: Is It Acceptable To Withhold Tithes If I Disagree With The Pastor? by Vasgas: 12:10pm On Feb 04
Aside offering which other way do you make financial contribution to your local church.
I will attempt your questions.

1. Who are you worshipping?
The pastor or GOD?
I come soon and I will reward everyman according to his works.

2. Sometimes, the Holy spirit might instruct you to give your tithes else where, but in norm cases , it is your local church you pay tithes to, you can make other contributions to other churches around.

3. Which church do you attend?
Tithes are usually used to run church's affair's and not sponsor individual tastes

4. We differ in our level of understanding and growth.
We have the newborn baby in the churches who are still consuming milk likewise those consuming meat.
Reminder, is good. But it most not be done in a bad way.
Some have given their First fruit for the year, while some will still need to grow to some extent before they can attempt it.

5. He don't possess the church, he is only been used by the owner of the church. Although some half baked men, laid claim to the churches and called it's their own.

6. Tithes is for the local church, where you are fed with the word of God

7. It's is 10% of the income

Must you pay tithe at all?

Does Elon Musk pay tithes?

Does Dangote pay tithes?

If at all you must pay, must you pay to your pastor?

Just go to any church where they worship under mango tree or inside one building that's not completed and pay your tithe there.

Na dat kind pastor need your tithe not one that has three Lexus jeeps and two Benz already


Tithe is not limited to God o. But one way or the other we dey pay tithe. Either to devil or something, ask ogboni men and ritualist them to brief you.
Even the Dangote, Elon and Mark, them get Wetin dem dey pay to. Either as charity or agreement or something.
To sustain wealth.... Principles full ground. So behave yourself.


As for me I always attach my tithe with prayers...... Ana na agreement between me and God, And e dey work wella!!!

This life you must live a covenanted life. Either to God or Devil. Lol but God is the real deal.

Don't live your life like an ordinary man.

1.Is it acceptable to withhold tithes if I disagree with the pastor's or the church's spending?

No it is not. If you truly believe in tithing you should know you pay it to God and not to your Pastor. If he spends it wrongly God will judge him.

2. can I pay my tithe in the different church fromt the one I attended?

Your tithe is to be paid to the Church where you are being fed spiritually but you can give from your resources to other churches

3. Is it correct for a pastor of a church and his family to use the church income, i.e. tithes, offering and third party income for their own use, especially since the church is not registered as their property? If no , what do you call their actions.
Is the Pastor on Salary by the Church? What's the provision for the pastor's welfare by the Church? Pastors should not spend church money anyhow. Church board should see to it.

4. Is it biblically okay for most of the pastors to ask for tithe on every Sunday? I mean why do they have to remind them every time, instead of letting people choose if they are okay to give their money!

Yes it is.

5. can pastor says my church?

It depends on the context he uses it.

6.Which is better, tithing in a rich church where the pastor has his own flight or giving money to a street preacher?

Pay your tithe to the Church that feed you spiritually either "rich or not".

7 .Why does my pastor make me feel guilty for not tithing when I cannot afford it?

You actually can afford tithe no matter how little as long as you have income. The problem is wrong teaching that your tithe must be a certain amount. NO! 10% of whatever your income is is your tithe, big or small.

Do you even read your Bible? ... if not how will you know what you should do or not do? ... what the pastor should do or not do? ... and regarding tithes.... what was the purpose of tithes? ... how can you be giving tithes and not know its purpose? If I ask you to give me N1000 every month .... would you just give? ... or would you find out what it will be used for?

To give or not to give .... ask yourself ......does your church be helping the poor and destitute?... or the pastor and family to live better life? If it is to upgrade the pastor and family then it is better to give the "tithe" to anyone in need.

Pay your tithe as God instructed.

Whatever the pastor does with it , is between him and God. Afterall, the Bible says, God judgment will start from church ⛪️. Meaning from the pastors

I don't pay my tithe to impress anyone but obeying God instructions and I don't care what people of nairaland says or anyone. No talk from anyone can discourage me from paying my tithe. I missed about 2 to 3 months last year though

Your tithe must be paid in the church ⛪️ where you worship for where your mind is, that your heart will be

Thank you my dear

1. No, you don't pay tithe to the pastor, you pay to God.

2. Your tithe should be to where you receive your spiritual nourishment.

3. Let the trouble of how the pastor use church finance be on the board or body that regulates the church finances. Get the churches constitution and sturdy if you still think the pastor uses the church money inappropriately approach him or petition him before the board there's nothing wrong with that.

4. Yes it is, some members needed to be reminded or should I say motivated to pay.

5. It is more appropriate to say this church. It is inappropriate for him to say my church even if he is the overseer.

6. I said it before and again, to the place you get your spiritual nourishment.

7. You don't have to feel guilty when you can't pay your tithe. Tithe is not what you can afford, it's a percentage of what you already have.

Let me also add the entire purpose is not to enrich the pastor or the church or anticipate that you'll get more.

It is a symbolic gift that shows you appreciate God for everything He gives you and you will honour Him with it.
Re: Is It Acceptable To Withhold Tithes If I Disagree With The Pastor? by Saig: 2:49pm On Feb 04
You should not even pay tithes at all. Tithing is not for Christians today. It was for the Jews, for the levitcal priesthood.
Today, the Bible commands Christians to give willingly and cheerfully as God has blessed them and as they purport in their hearts
(2 Cor. 9:7)
Re: Is It Acceptable To Withhold Tithes If I Disagree With The Pastor? by Bullfallo(m): 2:55pm On Feb 04
Giving should be to running the church activities. Those things need money either you like to hear it or not.

The only problem is when the pastors is abusing or misusing the funds and God blessings would be far from such church.

1. No. You are paying the tithe in obedience to God and not to man so you should not withdraw it. How the tithe is spent is not really your business. That is between God and the church leader. But I also believe there can be exceptional cases where wisdom could call for it.

2. Your tithe should go to your local church where you worship and serve. You can give offering to other churches if you wish to give to them.

3.Your tithe is meant to be used to take care of their personal needs amongst other needs of the church. That's why God requested it. That's how the Levites are taken care of in the bible.

4. It is not wrong to remind people of or collect tithe every Sunday or service because people earn daily, weekly and monthly. It is not also wrong to remind people who will easily forget to do the right thing.

5. Yes he can. If he leads the church at that point. But the church ultimately belong to God and many good pastor knows that..

6. See no. 2

5. Tithing is sacrificial but it is ultimately a freewill giving. God doesn't force men to do His will and His servants should not do so too. Tithe is a 10th of your income so its based on what you earn or are giving. You won't have tithe to pay only when you don't have any income.
