does your question answer the questions I asked you?

did I ask you about stopping?

is Matthew 23:23 an instruction to pay tithe?

Are you mad

Michael547:
So you agree that Jesus never told me to pay tithe?

That means you are not a christian

We should not be having any discussion

Michael547:
🤣🤣🤣....so show me verse where Jesus is talking to me na

Are you not a christian again

2 Timothy 3:16
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Michael547:
You yourself has said Jesus did not tell me to pay mint. That he was talking to the Pharisee. So why should I pay?

Because the Pharisees are no more. But the scriptures remain forever and apply to all of us.

2 Timothy 3:16

Michael547:
Lol....non of your concern.....go and preach the right doctrine first about tithe and come back to convince me to pay it.

We had a long debate here and you admitted Jesus endorsed tithe. So will you start paying tithe?

Michael547:
Leave my own too to God

Sure. Will you pay tithe, yes or no? Whether you eventually do is between you and God

Michael547:
Why are you lying na....you said mint is money instead of plant....so when did you obey....you've just been wasting your money all these while....sorry oo

Leave that to God. When are you starting tithe payment?

Michael547:
Lol....i.am not God....Obey your lord Jesus.

I am obeying. When are you starting tithe payment?

Michael547:
Why are lying na....were you not the one that said the mint Jesus talked about is money instead of plant?
You are filled with lies oo

STFU are you God? Pay your tithe first

Michael547:
Jesus has already decided.....Obey simple instruction

I am obeying it. When are you starting? Pay your tithe

Michael547:
Lol.....Oga obey Jesus....God will never accept disobedience to Jesus words

Let God decide. Just pay your tithe

Michael547:
Oga make sure you pay the tithe of your mint and rue and all manner of herbs. If not, you are wasting your time and money. Remember Mathew 23:23 and luke 11:42

hahahahaha

Leave that to me and God. Just pay your tithe.

Michael547:
Obviously not the way you and many Christians and churches have been paying it.

Whatever gives you relief. Just pay your tithe

lexy2014:
does your question answer the questions I asked you?

did I ask you about stopping?

is Matthew 23:23 an instruction to pay tithe?

Are you mad

Michael547:
Yes oo in the form of mint and rue and all manner of herbs, according to Luke 11:42 that you showed me. Anyone not doing what Jesus said in that verse is not paying tithe and he or she is wasting his time.

Your cup of tea. Tithing is biblical and should be paid by obedient christians.

Michael547:
Oga Jesus has told you what to paybas tithe in that verse. Kindly obey simple instruction.

Your wahala. At least you agree that Jesus endorsed tithe for all christians

lexy2014:
I thought you were preaching Bible?

does the Bible ask you to insult people?

I asked a question

Michael547:
Where did Jesus say that tithe is tenth of anything you have in Luke 11:42?
So the Pharisees only had what Jesus mentioned in that verse?

Tithe is a-tenth portion. Are we going to debate that one again?

Michael547:
Where did Jesus say we should pay tithe with whatever we have in Matthew 23:23? Kindly show me.

God anticipated your type

Luke 11:42
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

lexy2014:

Michael547:
Don't mind him....I have been asking him where Jesus said the tithe was cash in matthew 23:23 and he has not been able to answer.

Did I say you must pay cash? Pay tithe of whatever you have.

Michael547:
You are lying....are you not the one that Said that Jesus words in Matthew 23:23 applies to everyone.....so where did Jesus seperate the kind of tithe for different people in Matthew 23:23?

You are being clever by half.

Tithe is clearly defined as a tenth of your earnings.

Hence, tithe is never tied down to what you are giving but the percentage of it. It can be anything.

Luke 11:42
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

lexy2014:
is Matthew 23:23 an instruction to pay tithe?

It was an instruction not to stop it

lexy2014:
why?

how do you pay tithe of WHATEVER you have?

Whatever is whatever. If I was paid 10 barrels of crude oil for doing a job, my tithe is 1 barrel.

Michael547:
Stop deceiving people....Jesus said we should pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin. Anybody saying what Jesus did not say in Matthew 23:23 is a big fat liar.

You are not ready to obey simple instruction.

Jesus' point was clear. Don't stop paying tithe.

For the Pharisees and Scribes, it was mint, anise and cummin. For others, it was their produce.

For us today, it is cash and kind - whatever you desire to tithe.

Michael547:
You are a liar....Jesus never said you should pay their equivalent in Matthew 23:23. Why are you lying like this naaaa😆

Pay tithe of whatever you have. Just pay tithe.

Michael547:
Are you so ignorant to know that the mint in Matthew 23:23 has nothing to do with cash or money but a plant?

Lol....so are you saying that there was no money in the time of Jesus?
Where did Jesus tell people to pay tithe as cash or money in Matthew 23:23

Whether mint, anise, cummin and whatever is their equivalent today, just pay your tithe.

The heart is what matters

Michael547:
Can you see that you are so ignorant from the screenshot below?
Where did Jesus tell you to pay cash in Matthew 23:23?

Nowadays we refer to new note as mint nah.

Even then, we now pay tithe by cheque and bank transfer. Hardly do people pay cash.

You see that we are moving with the time. So in Jesus' time, that was what they could pay tithe on. Before then, they paid with farm produce.

Don't be mischievous.

Michael547:
Where did Jesus tell you to pay in cash in Matthew 23: 23? Kindly quote a verse

Mint no be cash

Michael547:
Your submission shows that you are dubious.....let's follow your analogy in Matthew 23:23.
Did Jesus say we should pay money or that we should 'pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin'? Which one?

Good question. You are free to pay tithe of whatever you earn in cash and kind. Just pay the tithe. It's the heart that matters.

Michael547:
Oga you are liar......oya show me where the apostles mandated Christians to pay tithe that was seperate from regular giving?

They didn't have to deliberate on God's laid down statutes all over again. To what end?

Malachi 3:10-12
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

Matthew 23:23
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

2 Timothy 3:16
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
