adjoviomole: It's ok abeg make anybody no quote me again. If you like everytime carry your tithe and distribute it to the beggars it's your choice. Everyone should do as they please.
If anyone should quote me again ehn! My argument is not about giving to a ministry and calling it tithe. My argument is against those who want to make people give out of compulsion, using the curses of Malachi. Anyone who makes people tithe by threatening them with the curses in Malachi (a curse which only the priests, the Levites and the other temple workers signed for), is a thief, a shameless criminal. If you look at the essense of the tithes, you would realize that God does not even need it. It was a sort of taxation instituted primarily or majorly for the poor. God does not need your tithes for the propagation of the gospel. If the gospel was being propagated rightly, we won't be seeing mansions in the name of church. We will be seeing missionaries reaching out to people, helping the needy and preaching the Good News. Is building mansions or universities and buying jets a part of preaching the Good News? |

udeh3: There are differences between tithe, offering and gifts. Tithe should be given to men of God. Its their right. You can give the beggar money but not your tithe or offering
Lets always do the right things the right way and not otherwise Show us where it is said in the Bible that tithes should be given to men of God? Is Adeboye or Oyedepo from the Levitical tribe? Did Elijah and Elisha collect tithes from the children of Israel? Did the Apostles collect tithes from the other Christians? Is there a record of anyone who was not from the Levitical tribe collecting tithes? Please, our Bibles are not for decoration but for us to study with the help of the counsellor, the Holy Spirit. |

adjoviomole: The widow that gave her all while Jesus was in the temple, she brought is to the ban abi store house too abi? I have read your comments and they are evidences that you are a very lazy Christian. First, the widow was not tithing but making a contribution. Second, the storehouse mentioned in Malachi is not the temple but a place where grains and all were stored for the benefits of those who served in the temple. You couldn't bring your tithes by yourself to the storehouse. It was first given to the Levites who would tithe a tenth of the original tithe (this is called a tithe of the tithes). A tithe of the tithes is 1% and this would be made only by the Levites in the presence of the priests. The 1% would be deposited in the storehouse by the Levitical tribes and it would serve the workers in the temple, including the Levites and the priests. The tithes were not meant to maintain the temple. There was a temple tax for that purpose. Third, the book of Malachi cannot be read in isolation. God was angry about a whole lot of things and not just tithe alone. I don't have much time but take your time to read the book of Nehemiah. |

Yureyes: Again from my understanding of the bible, God chose the people of Levite to be his priests to serve in his house and if we all agree our tithes should be given to the Levites, I don't know why we the fuss about paying our tithes in the house of God where the pastor(priest) is the servant of God. The bible is clear about tithe, you should follow God's commandment. Are your pastors descendants of Aaron of the Levi tribe? |

Candyrain: Malachi 3:10 already told me where to pay my tithe. If you disagree you can pls tell us where we should pay it It was not addressed to you or even to the whole nation of Israel. It was addressed to the Levitical tribe whose duty it was to bring a tenth of tithes it collects from the farming communities into the storehouse, not the house of God. A tenth of the tithe is 1% |

Yureyes: No one is forcing you to tithe. your tithe is between you and God. No one obligated Jacob to tithe but in Leviticus 27: 30-34, during the time of Moses, tithe was introduced as a commandment to the children of God. Pastors will emphasize on tithes because it's their duty to warn you of God's anger and guide you spiritually. Read Malachi 3:8-9 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. If you decide not to pay your tithes, ye are cursed with a curse. And it's the Pastor's duty to warn you of this curse. if you still refuse to pay your tithe, in other words refuse to obey God's commandments, the pastor won't come to you to force it out of your pocket. You are commanded to tithe. That is where you all got it wrong. Who was God addressing in Malachi 3:8-9? And when the Bible mentioned "storehouse", what came to your mind? |

supersystemsnig: I am not defending anyone, i'm a minister, by the way. And this is one area, i like to stay clear off. Please i can't answer you. I'm not intelligent enough. I'm sorry Well, then, you need to be educated. Abraham entered into a covenant with God. He promised to tithe if God would bless him. He didn't tithe first. He allowed God do His own part first. Same thing with Jacob. If you are a minister, then you shouldn't keep quiet while pastors rob God. |

supersystemsnig: Tithing is convenantal, that Lord, I'm keeping my end of the bargain, it's a testament of God's goodness, it shows we stick to His plans and authority. It tells God i trust you, and i'm following the lead. It is done at each junction almost like a sacrifice to unlock the next thing, so yes Abraham tithed multiple times, and i don't wish to debate against anyone's beliefs my brother. Be to everyone according to their beliefs If tithe is a covenant (the sort that Abraham and Jacob contracted with God), then, why do pastors emphasize it as though it were an obligation binding on anyone? Did anyone obligate Abraham to tithe? Did anyone obligate Jacob to tithe? Didn't they vow to tithe only if God first blessed them? Did they tithe before God blessed them? Was there any record of Abraham tithing out of his own properties? |

Julivas: You have done well, but you can do better. All tithes must be brought into the house of the Lord and not just any place or person. As a blessed son of God, you can still package something for the beggers and the needy. What is the the house of the Lord? And why you are answering this, put in mind that the Bible mentioned "store house". |

supersystemsnig: Lets visit the root of why tithes are given. Visit Abraham, he gave his the because he met someone greater and in return, his tithe opened the door for virtue to flow, you only give tithe to someone you see up, so the benefits flows into your life consequentially. You have it in the reverse... If you want deep personal analysis, hit me up, i'll explain...too tired to type.... What did Abraham tithe and how many times did he do it? |

Fxwarrior: Gerarahea mehn. One thing about verses is that people twist it to fit condition. Giving to the poor is different from giving your tithe to the poor.
The scripture was clear about bringing it to the church . Obedience is better than sacrifice. Pray Saul calamity don't fall on you sha. Church is different from temple. |

AnodaIT: Yes, you are wrong
Not that I'm a tithe payer myself but if you want to do something, do it right
Tithe was specifically meant for the upkeep of church or propagation of the Gospel . The beggar achieved none of these two objectives, he might even use your tithe for some immoral activities. I have heard of beggars and cripples patronizing whores at night Where is this written in the Bible? |

mdokaba1: It was a very stressful week for me as it involved lots of travels and all. So its a Saturday and I was paid for a project I did for the month past.
Going by my tired nature, I knew deep down me that there was no way I could have made it to church the next day and I was hell bent on paying my tithe because of the inherent blessings therein and the last thing on my mind would be to give it to my nebor to pay it for me. (The guy broke and besides I didn't want him to start calculating my take-home (Na sharp man). And I knew deep down that if I keep the money till the next time I would be in church, I was sure I would spend it. (God have mercy on me sha)
So I decided even before getting home to package my tithe and while in the market on a shopping spree I package my tithe and dropped it in the plate of an old beggar. (A mulsim beggar precisely)
Instantly, I saw 50 shades of shocks on her face as she looked at me for a few seconds and I could read her facials more like "For this Buharia?" Lols. And before I disappeared into the crowd, I could see/read her lips mutter prayers pointing towards me. And deep down, I felt blessed and fulfilled.
But was I wrong to have given my 10percent to a beggar instead of to the alter?
Opinions please. You didn't do anything wrong. In fact, you performed a very noble act. I feel more fulfilled and happy giving to the needy than in a "church". I enjoy putting smiles on the faces of these poor people. Ever tried to give to an orphanage? The feeling is sweet. When I still went to "church", I always felt like I was forced to give. |

dalass: Lazy Christians always use the bible to mean they not under the laws of God, no duty nothing, we can do whatever we like... Living a life of impunity, no different from the few wolves masquerading as Pastors.. If you have no duty as a Christian, I wonder what you are... Many rascals Christians doing, saying, acting anyhow. Speaking against God's ministers the way they like.. As if God put their judgement in your hands.. Whatever measure you are using to judge.. You will get more in your own case.. As if you are clean.. Smh! The truth is bitter. Even if Jesus Himself came today and criticized your pastors the way He criticized the Pharisees, you would all stone Him to death. Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. (Matt 23:34) |

dalass: Giving to God your all shouldn't be a problem if Jesus and God gave His all for you. He said give and it shall be given back to you.. So it does show that your giving is a big condition for financial blessings.. There are spiritual blessings and physical ones that are based on what YOU DO not only on what HE DID.. You have to grow up even beyond 10% Giving is different from tithing. Tithing is a Law the Jews were obligated to perform. And it was for a purpose. Giving for the propagation of the gospel should be not out of compulsion but from what the heart desires to give. Tithing is a Law because it is out of compulsion. It is a duty. A bondage. An obligation. Giving (offering, etc) is freedom to give what you wish to give. |

dalass: Do us all a fav, count all the laws of the Bible and also go ahead to find out how many you are keeping... At least am not blindly heeding an 'advice' of someone whose life doesn't deserve to be called a Christian.. Daddy freeze.. What a character in which you are decided to emulate.. Yes since you're on his side. Because of money matter in Church, everybody has become experts on the subject. It is you who has decided to remain under the Law and so are thus obligated to keep all of the Laws and not just the Tithing Laws. James 2:10 tells us that "whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all." As for me, the death of Christ on Calvary has liberated me from the bondage of the Law. His Death fulfilled the prophesies and ushered me into a New Covenant. A Covenant that is based on unconditional love of God for me. The Old Covenant was a conditional contract between God and the children of Israel. He blessed them only when They loved Him and He punished them when they turned away from Him. But the New Covenant is God's unconditional love for us. He does not need our money or blood sacrifices to bless us. |

Therefore we don't have to bother bout what laws are broken but to strive to live righteously everyday. So its a continuous process not a state. I don't understand you. Do you pay your tithes because God commanded it? |
