...

Folks can't answer a simple YES or No question even after he saw that I listed Catholic Church in the list of Churches that preaches and receive tithes. He's still asking me flimsy question to dodge answering a simple Yes or No question

Asking me whether my Church is pro tithing so that he can derail from the topic of the thread. As if, if my church were anti tithing, I'd be here asking them to give list of anti tithe churches or supporting tithing views

Folks that can't list the anti tithing churches they attend

Folks who think they are smarter both mentally and spiritually and scripturally than hundreds of Millions who tithe.



Back to the Matter, we are not discussing catholism here, or compulsory tithe or not compulsory


We want to know JUST 10 anti tithe churches in Nigeria.


Pls give the list to the world to see, (you guys can't even spell out the churches you attend grin) or simply bury your heads in shame.


1 wrong answer again and I'm off this thread with full smile that anti tithe crew can't list 10 churches that are against tithing (preach against it) and also that they can't post their church names, churches which they themselves say preach against tithing. grin

Candour: [s]
Do you have a problem with comprehension?

Catholics no longer practice compulsory tithing but are encouraged to contribute anything from 1-100% means they no longer operate by tithing, you know why? because tithe is strictly 10%. and if you dont operate a strict 10% threshold, then you're no longer operating by tithing or you want to prove Abraham gave more than 10%?

Tithe is 10%....No more, No less

Its that simple.





As if you have a choice. Complain to your pastor na if you get liver....make e prophesy devourer, poverty and sickness upon your head courtesy of Mal 3:8-12 cheesy

Abraham's example indeed!!

You belong to your god of men my friend. Do well to start doing your thinking yourself.



You lied against the Catholic church and a Catholic called you out. Catholics mooted the idea of Tithes for the church at Tours in 567AD, ratified it at Macon in 585AD and even then, its was strictly Agric produce meaning Christianity survived for 550 years without compulsory tithes .Catholics are obligated to support the church but are not given a percentage to abide by. Ask a Catholic who knows to educate you. Fr Gyang can even help you out wink

So on the issue of Catholic tithing, you're very wrong. Just admit it even if to yourself.

Simple question

Is The Catholic Church an ANTI-Tithe Church?

YES or NO

If you can't answer this simple question, I will understand why! grin

The second is the "Philosophy and Principles of Tithing

You lads should read it and answer whether the Catholic Church is Anti Tithing!


And Here, Catholic Churches ENCOURAGE TITHING. Chukwudi are you sure you are a catholic? I once were a catholic, I was in Legion of Mary, I knw a lot about CCRN, I know about a lot of saints, etc

And then, we were encouraged to bring in em tithes

Later you'll start lying you don't tithe because of Mal 3:8-12. Keep deceiving your selves.

I wonder why your devourer has not being able to devour the 1billion Catholics who no longer operate by tithing.

Compare the words in bold above to what Chukwudi said below
"Please the catholic church does not preach compulsory tithing(payment of 10%) by itz
members."

grin do you have dyslexia?

Chukwudi44 , a well known Catholic on NL has blown your lies out in the open. Catholics are encouraged to give as they desire and are able which is exactly what the apostles encouraged their converts to be doing and which we are advocating today.

chukwudi44: Please the catholic church does not preach compulsory tithing(payment of 10%) by itz members. Catholics are encouraged to contribute to the church in any percentage be it 1-100%.

The cathechism of the catholic church does not stipulate mandatory payment of 10% of our income.
A quick quiz

Do Catholics pay/give tithes?

Yes or No

Which one is "does not preach compulsory tithing"?

Do they pay tithes, YES or NO?

An Exciting Life · Thursday, October 10th ·

Pastor Chris

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost
(Romans 14:17).

The more you study the scriptures, the
more convinced you’ll be that Christianity
isn’t a religion at all, but a living, exciting,
fulfilling, and extraordinary walk in the
supernatural. I made this discovery early in
life as a young lad. The more I studied the
Word of God, the more excited I was
about Jesus; I discovered that Christianity works. I discovered that the Word was living and active. I discovered that the miracles in the Bible weren’t mere
stories, and that the Holy Spirit was more than an
influence.

Let’s look at some exciting examples in the Scriptures
of some of those in whose lives the Holy Spirit
manifested His extraordinary power. Judges 15:16 tells
us how Samson overcame a thousand trained soldiers
with the jawbone of an ass. In 1 Samuel 17:34-35, David
testified how he killed a lion and a bear with his bare
hands. Consider Moses: Once, he and the Israelites were
hemmed in between the Red Sea, and the charging
Egyptian troops. The Bible tells us that as Moses
stretched his hand over the Sea, it split wide open for
the Israelites to walk through on dry ground.

How exciting and inspiring to know that the same Spirit
that worked with these and other Bible characters, as
well as the Lord Jesus, and the apostles, is the same
Spirit that’s at work in us today. 2 Corinthians 4:7 says,
"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the
excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."
Ours is even better, because like the Lord Jesus, we
have the fullness of the Spirit (John 1:16, Colossians
2:9-10).

The same Spirit that raised Him from the dead lives in us
today in His fullness (Romans 8:11); therefore, you can
walk in fellowship with God as the prophets, the Lord
Jesus, and the apostles did. You can live an exciting life
of victory, success, and excellence by the same Spirit.

Prayer

Dear Father, I thank you for your Word that
has brought the reality of the divine life to light in
me. I live a joyful, exciting, and glorious life in
absolute liberty and mastery over Satan and all
circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

f u r t h e r s t u d y: Romans 8:11

Candour: Because its not a competition and the fraudsters have engulfed the entire landscape. Is that so difficult to understand?

God is bringing his children out of the bondage just as he used one man to deliver the Christian world from the sale of indulgences.

There are churches that do not preach or collect tithes, but more importantly more and more Christians are discovering the truth and learning to think independently of the charlatans in suit and that is very evident on this forum.

I understand that feeling bro!

Candour: Pity yourself friend. You that can't even explain what your god of men preaches to another nairalander is trying to pity somebody. nlmediator dropped some useful advice for you on the purchase thread opened by Joagbaje. Hope you read and internalise it. You only parrot what you hear every fellowship day without understanding and it was very glaring on that thread as it is when you talk about tithes.

Tithing as preached today is a perversion of Mosaic laws and a horrible scam. Even if I'm the only one remaining in the world holding this view, you bet my stand won't change.

Your churches that you're so proud of because of the money, crowd etc you have are mostly business centers trying to compete with dangote, adenuga and co and it shows in the greedy covetous people they churn out.

I was expecting to see your tithing testimony on Joagbaje's testimony thread. Pls go and give it so we can know how much 'tithe principle' works in your life grin abi you don't have testimony ne?

Tithing for Christians is a fraud and no amount of bible twisting can change it.

I will see you one day in Jos and we'll laugh and shake hands over drinks but until then, stop the scam and let people give freely and willingly wink
Very typical of Candour!

Candour: Shame on you indeed grin

If Plenty Churches were honest about tithes, we won't be on this quest in the first place.

Every averagely intelligent human being knows you'll have very few churches in Nigeria that do not collect tithes because the tithe message came with the Christianity that was brought to the country and people only started seeing the light recently.

Church of Christ has been here for a long time (at least a senior colleague of mine has been a member since 1969) and they are spread all over the country. I repeat all over Nigeria.

Also nobody on this thread ever boasted that there were numerous churches not preaching tithes so I wonder what your celebration is for.

A brother wanted to know and we all were honestly trying to help him out.

Anyway I won't begrudge you a good time in the sun. Lap it up as much as you can. Welcome to your eldorado grin
angry

You and your crew should open more threads preaching anti tithe messages. Smart set of folks! grin

Pastor Kun: @God2man
Back to your question of asking for ten churches that have not descended so low as to scam their members of 10% of their regular income using biblical tithes as a cover. I just want to remind you that just as Elisha thought that all of Israel had abandoned God for baal just as tithing churches teach their members to attempt to bribe God with tithe for blessings, God revealed to him that there were still 7,000 men that had not bowed to baal same way some churches today have refused to join the bandwagon and worship mamom by extorting tithes from their members.

Still waiting for you to give me ten good reasons why I should indulge your ignorance.
We have discussed thatt before.....give us ten churches or hide ur head in shame. Beating around the bush is not the answer to the OP's question

Christianity EtcRe: Anti-tithe Churches by Gombs(m): 3:42pm On Oct 09, 2013
But see eh God2man this is actually simple

Why can't they (anti tithers) list their churches?

1. Candour-
2. Kunle-
3. Goshen-
4. Christembassy-
5. Enigma-
6. Drummerboy-
.
.
.
10.

We wud already have 6 if they would be honest and name their churches. But they can't! WHY? Because either their churches tithe and they feel they are smarter or the don't have a Church they attend!

But in all, if one can't be proud to name their church for the whole world to read/see, that in itself shows they aint proud of their Church or that the Church doesn't exist.

Simple question
NAME 10 CHURCHES IN NIGERIA THAT DOES NOT TITHE, and Kunle and his band of anti tithers are beating around the bush.

grin

The Holy Spirit: Our Secret Of Success · Wednesday, October 9th ·

Pastor Chris

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Stand-by), that He may remain with you forever (John 14:16 AMP).


The tremendous miracles, signs and wonders recorded in our Ministry, and the extraordinary impact we make around the world with the Gospel are in no ways by human efforts. They’re the works of the Spirit of God. For example, our Rhapsody of Realities devotional blesses lives daily in a hundred and eightynine languages, and in two hundred and twenty-three countries and territories around the world! This could only be by the Holy Spirit.

In John 14:16, Jesus said, "…I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever." Notice that He said "another Comforter"; that’s because He was the Comforter. However, knowing He’d ascend to heaven after His death, burial, and resurrection, He said to the disciples "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you" (John 14:18). The Greek word for "comfortless" is "orphanos," from where the English word "orphan" is derived. The Amplified version rightly renders it: "I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless]; I will come [back] to you." 

You’re not helpless. The Holy Spirit will make you successful in all things if you’d yield to Him and trust Him with your life. He’ll make you an effective witness of the Gospel. The Master instructed the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they were filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:49), because He knew they needed the divine enablement to accomplish the task of making disciples of the nations (Matthew 28:19). Hence, after they received the Holy Spirit, they became effective witnesses and preached the Gospel with miracles, signs, and wonders.

In Acts 19, we read how the Apostle Paul affected the city of Ephesus with the gospel; as a result, the Word of God grew mightily and prevailed in a region that was hitherto dominated by idolatry (read Acts 19:11-20).

You become a man or woman of great influence and impact when you learn to live by and through the Spirit. He’s your secret of success. With Him, you‘re certain to make a lasting impact in ministry, business, academics, or any aspect of your life.

Prayer 
Dear Holy Spirit, I acknowledge you as the One who leads me in the way of success and victory. You’re my Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby. I’m confident that following your indwelling presence and ministry in my life, I’ll keep making tremendous progress and enduring impact in all my endeavours, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Candour: Those 5000 and 3000 were carnal people who were running after Jesus because of bread and fish just like you're running after Christ today for breakthroughs, money and other things. The way you talk about tithes is evidence of that. See what Christ said to those you take as good Christian examples

John 6:26-27
'Jesus answered them and said, verily, verily I say unto you, ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves and were filled.27. Labour not for the meat that perisheth, but for the meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath the father sealed'

See what they eventually did when they heard the truth

John 6:66
'From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him'

You too would stop walking with Christ if you are told the truth that Christianity is not a rose petaled pathway.
But wait first...why do you like lying? Y do you love twisting scriptures?
Are you saying Jesus fed 5000disciples? Go study again plz

And how many disciples do you personally have today?
You can't imagine

Your statement also mean that any Church not having a crowd is not a Church sanctioned by God.right?
Try being honest. Where did I say dat?


So Paul lied when he wrote that to Timothy right?
You said he wrote to timothy that everybody has left him...you can lie jooor. Paul had workers everywhere he went. Faithful men and women and also those who caused him grief. How does that equate to the fact that he had few brethren?

[s]
Let me tell you another lie wink

Some 1000 smart people followed Rev Jim Jones into mass suicide in 1978 thinking they were following a 'man of God'. Also millions of people world wide followed Rev Moon of the unification church thinking he's the messiah. Even after his death last year, they are still following his vision. So my friend, smartness still does not prevent dumb acts.
[/s]
I am God's super intelligentsia,I'm smart, intelligent and I have a sound mind, all because the Holy Spirit dwells in every fibre of my being. He is in my thought and deeds. You should invite him in, He would teach you ALL truth.

And I'm not joking when I said I'm very smart and intelligent. Call it bragging or being braggadocious
, or being whatever...na you sabi. Me I don talk my own-i spoke what I am in Christ

My dear, speaking for myself here, I respect the catholic more than all these your money grabbing Pentecostal churches.
Why?

The good they did and still do for the community is evident even to the blind and not so smart people.
Who said penticostal churches don't do the above?

So you dont like the catholic church yet you put them in your list? Na wah for you.
shocked
You can lie eh! Where did I say I hated or don't like catholics? I say the Nicene and apostles' creed a lot sef! Y wud I hate em?


Its just the same way I love DLBC using tithes to feed hungry souls at their retreats without asking for special retreat offerings but that doesn't justify tithes for Christians. Freewill giving is what Christianity is about. Everyman as he purposeth in his heart, let him give....
Why don't you give your tithe freely then?
huh


Ask Christ who said only few would be found on the narrow strait road. Abi you stopped reading your bible at that verse too?
You too lie abeg! I shd ask Christ shey? SMH

P/S; so you be Jos boy? Worked in Jos for over 7 years and played plenty football at st murumba field. I go catch you one of these days grin

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Pastors Collect Tithes From The Poor, Widows And Orphans by Gombs(m):
Candour: grin grin grin

I'm very fine my friend and in perfect health. Nice of you to ask. Just being unusually busy these days.
Alright

[s]
Now according to your twisted logic above, until a 'Church' is big and visible like the ones you listed above, they are not of God. Jesus Christ our Savior must have been a 'failure' in your world because after a whole 3 years of ministry, he had only 120 disciples waiting in the upper room for the Holy Ghost.

Then God too doesn't know how to bring people to holiness because at the time of Prophet Elijah, only 7000 Israelites were true to Yahweh while the congregations of Baal were bursting at the seams.

Then Paul too was a failure because when he wrote to timothy, he complained that he was alone as all had abandoned him. People like Demas and co(probably they went collecting tithes as Paul didn't permit it grin).

The Catholic Church doesnt even push tithes the way you do so dont group them together with those pentecostal Churches listed up there. Even the tithes they collected in the past paid for the free schools and hospitals your parents and my parents including the parents of your gods of men enjoyed. Yet none of your churches today can boast of even free primary schools.

If size is what matters, i wonder why you're not with the Catholic Church which is so big that the Pope is equivalent to a head of state and has embassies in all countries. Of course that must mean the Catholic Church has smarter people than all those other Churches you listed above combined together

smartness doesnt mean a thing my friend. we've seen educated people who are dumb. For instance, do you know Ayman Al Zawahiri, the number 2 to Osama is a medical doctor? Do you know Osama himself was a billionaire who had a masters? Do you know how many professors who lectured you and your gods of men are atheists? Do you know Mohammed Atta, the ring leader of 9/11 hijack was on his way to a Phd in Engineering? but his smartness didn't prevent him from that very dumb act. my dear smart people do very dumb things too which explains the 'smart' people who can't read their bibles but wait for a smooth talking dude to give them his own interpretation.

My dear, God doesn't measure spirituality with size or smartness. That is why he chose the wretched of the earth to push the gospel and if you read the history of the early Church, those poor peasants and slaves brought the great Roman empire to its knees. see what Christ said

Matt 7:13-14
'Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:[/b]14.Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and [b]few there be that find it'

I hope your large gathering is narrow enough to fit into the strait gate? otherwise all your tithing and seed sown will only buy you a very big space on the road leading to destruction.[/s]
Jesus won much souls dan you can ever imagine. He didn't have just 120..u could call the 120 his leaders. That's why he said they shd teach everyone whatsoever thing he has commanded them. What abt the 5000 he fed? What abt those 3000, what abt those he taught by the see of Galilee? Etc

Even if he had just 120 folks, he said we would do MUCH MORE than He did if we believe.


Paul was the Bishop(like general overseer) of the 7 Churches in Asia and beyond...timothy was the Pastor of the ephesian church! Go study about Polycarp, iganatius, etc imagine the number of brethren he(Paul) had!

Infact your writ has no point but the usual lies grin

See as you lovingly described tithes in the Catholic church. why then don't you tithe? Abi the one they collect
is not tithe again? Come to St Murumba's Catholic Church here and see as Father Gyang ALWAYS encourage his flock to pay their tithes.

I gave up at your concluding speech. So the bigger the church the narrower it gets to fit into the 'strait gate'?

He was very faithful in his church duties, i'm a witness bc i live close to his church, unfortunately, d man died after surgery and when d pastor was informed of d burial, d pastor said, his church can nt bury him, dat even though, he was their member, d church can nt bury him bc his tithe record was nt upto date. Pls brethren, is this fair?
Wow, this story is very believable grin , but...
When a man is a Judge and Jury in HIS OWN court!
I term that as "A serious case of desperation"

Sir, you can do better! The lies are not convinceable!

christemmbassey: are dangote, Gate, Morphet etc members of these xa churches,
Which of them above are Christians?
Who is Morphet? Never heard of him! (Oh! Forgot you cn make up things just for the sake of it grin)

But let's assume they are ALL christians, do they attend your church? grin

Why didn't you ee these tithers?
JC Penny , J D Rocafella were known tithers and
donors to the needy.

I never would have been able to tithe the first million
dollars I ever made if I had not tithed my first salary,
which was $1.50 per week.
John D. Rockefeller (1839–1937) was an American
industrialist and philanthropist and first billionaire

"You hear a lot of strange things about tithing. Some say it is a church tax, and they expect me to pay it and that is the end of it. Others say that when I give God one- tenth of my income, He blesses the nine-tenths that is left to the extent that the nine-tenths now goes as far as the whole thing used to go. This isn’t really true, is it?
Suppose a farmer had 100 bushels of corn in the barn
and he decides to plant 10 bushel in the ground. What
multiplies? Is it the 90 bushels that he has left in the
barn? Oh, no. All of us ‘farmers’ know it is the 10 bushels you put in the ground that multiplies. Similarly, it is the 10 percent you give to God that multiplies."

Stanley Tam (1915-), American businessman and
philanthropist

Time won't let me go into others, there are testimonies of famous and wealthy people who credited the returning of tithe to God as the secret for their success and prosperity. Among these individuals are: William Colgate of Colgate Toothpaste, John D. Rockefeller, Sr., Henry John Heinz of Heinz Ketchup, Milton S. Hershey of Hershey’s Chocolate, and James Cash Penney of J.C. Penney.

I can go on and on...Heinz Tomato ketchup, you must know it, Go read about the founder of the company and about his givings in church. No wonder the company has seen all these generations (125yrs).
J. D Rockerfella's company is almost 160yrs old
Google that of colgate and the rest

You should wait for dangote and Gates and their likes to run their companies for this long, then we'd talk.

"With the price of everything else going up these days,
you should be glad the Lord hasn’t increased the tithe to
15%".-Gombs, 2013
grin

There is no rich person that does not give. its impossible
to be rich and not give.
you must give to receive. it is a kingdom principle working for Gates and his likes.

Even wicked people that are rich GIVE,

bros we know ur member, and stolen wealth is nt a qualification and God will nt look at ur loot of national wealth and say welcome home son.
Liar. Do you have proof? Why is it a culture with you and your crew to lie? Just like Goshen said he had proof that I and Joagbaje are same...let me no quote Candour and Kunle now

Gombs, just b honest, is it good to steal from d poor, orphans and widows? Yes or No, will do. Cheers.
It is very wrong to steal from the poor or even the rich, or in fact from anybody! I strongly condemn it


But to you and your crew the word receiving Tithe in your dictionary is synonymous to the word STEALING

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Pastors Collect Tithes From The Poor, Widows And Orphans by Gombs(m):
What gladdens my heart is that NO MATTER the number of threads anti tithers open on a daily basis, irrespective of how they twist the topic to try and buy solidarity for their cause, they ALWAYS fail. The other thread where they opened to give testimonies about stopping tithing is a good example. Almost all comments are pro tithers. Funny enough, pro tithers don't proliferate threads ie open threads daily asking folks to tithe. God cannot be mocked. He knows his own. He is watching you all!

Name one anti tithe Church that has a global congregation! Or let's leave global level, how many of them have influence (membership base) in the country?

What's even more baffling is that, these tithing churches has brethren that are a million time smarter than folks who seem smart, by saying pastors eat tithes. I'm very smart, I don't do things I know don't work.

In other words, I'm saying to Goshen, Kunle, Christembassey, and their crew are your churches bigger and better than

RCCG
WINNERS
ECWA
COCIN
BAPTIST
METHODIST
CHURCH OF GOD MISSION
DUNAMIS
KICC
SYNAGOGUE CHURCH OF ALL NATION
CHRIST EMBASSY
ANGLICAN
CATHOLIC
DLBC
Just to mention a few

If you belong to any of the above churches and you still don't tithe, because you think you are smarter than those that do, I can understand why, but then let's watch and see how we all(tithers and anti tithers) end.


Emmm, Kunle, Candour has been unusually quiet lately. Hope he is in Good health?
