if u knw wat it means to be a pastor u won't say dat .

If u really tink church is a business y not start one and laugh at Ur folly leta

robosky02:
i hope you really read that passage yourself:


ok let me take from there

1. the tithe belongs to God and you should truely tithe all of it.

22 "You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year



2. in thier time they were agrarians thus it easy for them to take from thier farm produce to give thier tithe. but our days we do differnet jobs and the economy is based on money.thus we can give our tithe in monetary value. in fact from that same scripture they were told to even exchange thier farm produce if they cant carry it. and pay with money

24 But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the Lord your God has blessed you, 25 then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses



3. the tithe is to be brought to the house of God (the store house ) or the local church were you are feed Gods word NOT to give to any pastor as you wish.


You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you. 28 "At the end of every third year you shall bring out the tithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates. 29 And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.



4 the reason for the tithe is that God will bless you

it is 10% of all your income given to God as your covenant accees to the blessing



from that same scripture if you look at the last verse. the reason for the tithe was given


if you go to

Malachi 3:10New International Version (NIV)
10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

the reason is given again.......... that God will bless you


so if anyman give tithe or not you have not done any thing to the pastor its up to you



"that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do."



29 And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

Tell me which Christian community has done anything in Nigeria. Then tell me which Christian community is as financially buoyant as the Gates or is in competition with them. BTW, i didn't know that asking you for what you are doing to help the needy is attacking you. What facts did i avoid?

Ochedi:
cos they r robbers. and its certain dat they are

Image123:
You are not a serious Christian if christians are turning you to atheist. Following Jesus is not for the wishy-washy. Forget Bill and Melinda and think you. How much are you spending and what are you doing to help the needy? Do you think no christian is helping the needy? Are bill and Melinda representative of every atheist? Why generalise issues unfairly?

Ishilove:
So his other testimonies are 'nothing' because it does not conform to your own unbelief? Of course you will query the doctors because you don't want to humble yourself to acknowledge the very glaring fact that miracles happen and God is alive on the throne.

Dude, believe whatever you want to believe, that's your own cup of tea,just don't make a mockery of other people's beliefs.

[color=#1980BC] CIA "game changer" analysis vindicates the masterstroke it was by GEJ to involve our neighbours in these fight even amidst criticsms, insults and abuse from every corner including Buhari...
ofcourse we now understand the call by Buhari to slowdown on BH and explore the possibility of using their activities to not only remove every shred of GEJ's credibility but also pander to the dreams of every core islamic northerner and idealogy of BH that is the total islamization of Nigeria,its institutions and its oil blocs...

This shouldn't have made frontpage. I see Keke and D1 doing their usual boring thing of standing by the corner talking too much nonsense about; "baba Keks and D1, bringing you the Grammies live from the USA" and managing to interview stars who have lost their glory or those unfortunate not to have front row seats.

These men were the bomb at a time, but they are not anymore! It either they change their game to be in tune with reality or they quit the game! No one in his right senses would leave E! And other channels showing the red carpet at the Granny to watch ' Baba Keks and D1' clown around.

God never started to exist, he has always been. In his existence there is no beginning because he existed before time. There are a lot of mysteries we humans do not understand yet. At least not while on earth
