Christianity EtcRe: Should Christians Give First Fruit Offering? by blesdman(m): 10:33pm On Jan 04, 2015
It is unfortunate that the Nigerian church willingly applies the old testament teachings on money to new testament redeemed christ ones, born not of law but of faith in Christ alone.....The law of giving for gentile christians which we are is that we should give cheerfully....if possible all we have but let it be cheerful...See acts 2:46-48. THere was no specific mention of particular offering types...
Christianity EtcRe: Inviting Tithers To A Theological Discuss with Miwerds and Candour On Tithing by blesdman(m): 12:12pm On Dec 07, 2013
This is indeed a theological cri-cum-cra-cum or if u like a theological crum-gaga-crum-gaga.
I must say I am maniacally bewildered by the way and manner in which this teaching of paying tithe is being peddled and ferried around in present day churches. As noted by Xris, that was the locus-vivendi of tithe. Tithe was 1-tenth for the levites in the O.T cos they had no inheritance....under the N.T dispensation, it was never mentioned as means of funds for the church, rather the early christians gave cheerfully what they had for the purpose of communal sharing amongst themselves and to the poor. Infact offerings were being made for the church in Judea, Jerusalem and other less priviledged and persecuted churches. Even offerings were purely for humanitarian purposes and not for administrative or "church" aggrandisement as presently portrayed today.
It is indeed sad that Mal 3:9-10 has been quoted out of context as a basis of tithes payment for a believer of the new testament. Tithe proponents argue that when it comes to tithes we are in the old testament but when it comes to other ceremonies of burnt offerings, and the many ceremonies of the old testament, we are not old testament practitioners. Money factor!!!! It is indeed sad. May God help his people.
Christianity EtcRe: Inviting Tithers To A Theological Discuss with Miwerds and Candour On Tithing by blesdman(m): 11:58am On Dec 07, 2013
Xriss: Read sorry STUDY Deut 14:22-29 and Deut 12:11-27 then post again if tithing is not part of Mosaic law, you may read the whole chapters or book of Deuteronomy. I believe "Deuteronomy" means something like second statement or repetition of the law.

TITHING IS DEFINITELY SCRIPTURAL BUT if u study the book of Deuteronomy then you will find that pastors today twist the "how" tithe should be paid and ask you to package money give it to them and not ask how it is used.....THIS IS FRAUD.

Tithing is meant to be given as food and drink not money....and this is to be eaten by all on the day of offering and the remaining kept in the church for the poor (ie the widows, fatherless, homeless and priests as long as they have no other businesses) that is why Malachi 3 says bring tithes so there will be food not money in God's house.

Also recall that the bible says he who gives to gives to the prophet gets a prophets reward......and he who gives to the poor lends to God himself (Prov 19:17).....thus the way to give your tithe to God is to give it to the poor not to your pastor.....

Jesus confirmed the above in Matt 25:40 and 45, when he said what you do to the "LEAST" of people is what you do to him, pls read this scripture from verse 31 to get a clearer picture. This is in line of law of tithing in Deuteronomy and why Jesus supported it.

Further to the aforementioned, study Acts 4:32-37, you will see that the church brought all they had to the apostles and the apostles shared it to those in need (the poor). This is also in line of the law of tithing in Deuteronomy.

THE BIG QUESTION NOW IS WHY DO PASTORS DO WHATEVER THEY LIKE WITH TITHES AND TELL YOU NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS?
If tithe is Gods money then the Bible should determine how it is used but IF PASTORS DETERMINE HOW IT IS USED THEN YOU HAVE JUST GIVEN TO THE PASTOR AND NOT GOD.

It is pertinent to state that any form of giving is good but if you really want to give to God then STUDY his word and learn how to give to him (by giving to the poor) if you wanna give to your pastor there is no evil or wrong in that, in fact it is good to give to your pastor. But any pastor that collects tithe in the name of God and uses it the way he like is a thief and a fraud.

Christianity EtcRe: Tithes And Offerings Are Eternal Principles by blesdman(m): 3:48pm On Sep 30, 2013
Deuteronomy 18: 22-28 states the reasons for tithe...as being to be enjoyed by the givers and for the purpose of catering for the levites, the widows, and orphans who had no share in the possessions. Therefore, the tithe was a system for sustaining society equity.
Going down to the new testament, the system of giving or collections otherwise known as offerings in present day church, was primarily for humanitarian assistance of brethren in the church, first for those within then others in mission fields, not forgetting the pastors of such assemblies (though not an excuse for demonstrating affluence). It was basically THE CHURCH FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL MEMBERS, not members for the benefit of the church(an organisation-like system). May God help the present day church...

Better so, marry for the qualities. You can make a woman you decide to marry whatever you want her to be. That is why you are a husband which also sounds like a gardener to a garden(ie a husbandman)
