Soyinka, the professor who rather chose a stack illiterate with an empty head, directionless, despotic, archaic, unreasonable and failed goat over a well-groomed, modest, well educated, vision-driven and coordinated gentleman just because of hatred and tribalism should please shove his support in his ass! 1 Like |

zionmade:what are you even talking about? Walk up to my father and question him in what way? Forget this threat tactics you're spinning, God is not man neither are you God ok! Tithe if you choose to give has been explained in Deuteronomy on how to go about it. It's left for you to obey or disobey. For the 3rd year tithe, give it to the levite, widow, foreigners and orphans. Accept the truth and be free. 2 Likes |

zionmade:I read through and didn't find where the office of the pastors was insulted. Haven said that, junia has been uncontradictory so far and I thank God for the wisdom given to him. You can't claim to be under grace and be keeping some old testament commandment of God while despising some others probably because they don't favor you. God is just. |

annunaki2: Seriously brother, I thought tithe was 10% of our income. To think there is daily, monthly and yearly tithe I wonder then what they are. How then are these calculated. Is it not obvious that going by this pattern the bible is being misconstrued and to have us conveniently remain uneducated to the truth God has required of us? |

Leviticus 27:30-33New International Version (NIV) 30 “‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod—will be holy to the Lord. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.’” zionmade: So how can you satisfactorily explain these passages and those of Deuteronomy? |

dingbang: Tithe was never given as a burnt offering but rather given to people on earth. Pls read the bible |

zionmade:you can't ask me to go and read the entire Leviticus like it was just added to the bible yesterday and I'm yet to hear about it. You have decided not to accept the truth of the scripture. 1 Like |

zionmade:why I asked is because you chose to ignore those passages of the bible like they are not written by God when you were preaching your sermon. Don't you have anything to say as regards those passages? |

dingbang: Pls don't confuse tithe with offering. In the new testament when Christ said that woman who gave her all though her all is little gave the greatest. That was offering, it's different from tithe. Tithe for all that it is remains a tenth of our profit/produce. Yes, tithes are compulsory my brother and as the opening thread states, it teaches us to honor God. Cain gave a burnt offering. It's different from tithe. And why was it rejected, it's because his offering were bad ie, he did not gather the best of his produce to sacrifice. For armed robbers who give tithe, I believe it is Good who does the rewarding. Remember the bible says God who sees in secret would reward you openly. 1 Like |

dingbang: Does bringing God's word about how to serve Him mean I am killing myself over anything? Would you rather want to live in denial continuously? Secondly, God never takes anything material from us because he does not need it. He rather needs just and only just our praise. 1 Like |

I am lost as to why all the churches I have ever attended and all the pastors that have ever taught/preached to me have never ever quoted this passage of the scripture whenever they preach about tithe in the church. Here is the passage below Deuteronomy 14:22-29English Standard Version (ESV) Tithes 22 “You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23 And before the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always. 24 And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there, 25 then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses 26 and spend the money for whatever you desire—oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27 And you shall not neglect the Levite who is within your towns, for he has no portion or inheritance with you. 28 “At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. 29 And the Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do. Now it is clearly stated from what I understand that there are 2 types of tithes: 1) the yearly tithe 2) the 3rd year tithe From the above scripture, the bible admonishes us to gather our yearly tithe and eat what your heart desires (oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves) in the presence of the Lord with our loved ones. I have highlighted the word strong drink to emphasize that it is in fact not a sin to take alcohol as many profess. Now on the 3rd year, we are to gather our tithes for that year and give to the Levite, Foreigners, Orphans, Widows, beggars. May God help us to serve him as He expects of us, amen.
