Obidient is better than sacrifice, tithe is to provide food in Gods house, not for evangelism.

Or you can better show me were the apostles use tithe money for evangelism.

Are you really the one saying this? But you said earlier that your church uses it for evangelism. What have I disobeyed? I am only in search of knowledge. Please, if you must quote me again, please refer to what I said earlier and read it with understanding so that you will clearly know my position about tithe. Thanks.

For tithe purpose, see detronomy 14:28,29 and malakai 3:10.

Tithe is a provision made for levite and the needy who has not to eat though the tither can partake on it too.

After you have truly read and understood the content of the quoted portion, you can refer back to my earlier post and juxtapose it with what you say your church does with the tithe and see whether what you guys are doing is right.

hisgrace090:
What you supported is it the purpose of tithing mind you every evngelizm team have a way of raizing fund for that purpose tithe is for a purpose too. See the bible!

Some move may mean teaching God how to go.

I should just see the Bible? Convince me with a verse. I believe that the Bible should be the compass for every Christian. Defend that with a verse.

Preaching of the gospel
Sending Pastors/Missionaries to different places
Crusades and Outreaches

Let me use my place of Worship for Examples..
We are Heavily into Evangelism, crusades , Almost every 2 weeks there is a crusade to be held..
Pastors are Constantly sent to nations..
Fellowship centers are bought , Properties are Erected etc..

I see Where my Money Goes to... Atimes I personally Increase my tithes .


That's how it's supposed to be in Churches...

If it truly happens like that in your church then it is a very good initiative. Good Initiative in the sense that all the the things you have mentioned are not prescribed by the Bible on how to use the tithe. You can do better by convincing me with a verse. But I like the way tithe is used in your church.

My Brother, let me say this!
Do u know Some Pastor don't Even Touch Tithes?
I know of some pastors who don't even take a dime from Tithes!
A Man of GOD who is Anoited does not Even Need to Touch Tithes! Anyone who is Blessed from your Ministry or Ministrations will definitely Bless you..

the Bible says the Workman is Worthy of his Meat! So it's not a sin if aa Pastor has a certain percentage of what comes in!

I just hope you really understood what I wrote. If you did then I don't think you have responded well. Please note, I am not arguing, I am seeking to know. If a pastor will not touch the tithe and there is a welfare office that takes care of needy in most churches which the resources provided are not from the tithe but wilful contribution from members or some agreed amount by members, then what is the tithe mean for?

[b] In as much as I agree with the angle in which you look at tithe I still want to get some clarifications, if you can offer that, I will be glad. Those to whom the tithe is mean for are those you have mentioned excluding the Pastors because the Bible only recognises Levites which the Pastors stand to represent today. In those days, the Levites had no sources of livelihood because they were dedicated to the service of God at temple of and were not paid. Nowadays, the pastors are paid for their services in the church, in some cases, even the school fees of their children are catered for by the church. Most churches nowadays have what is called welfare department for the needy and the sources of resources to take care of the neeedy doesn't comes from the tithe but the members of the church, either through wilful donation or agreed amount. Does it still make sense to pay tithe in our today's churches, taking cognisance of the raised points.? May God deliver me from my own knowledge of Him. I always get joy in contributing for missionaries than paying of tithe.[/b]

I will appreciate that. Let the fight start with them over there then we'll conclude it in 2019. This i don't care attitude towards workers welfare must stop

PurplePatch:
There is absolutely nothing we won't find on social media.

If the cheque hadn't bounced would you have come to tell us. Why can't we just keep a sealed lip over some frivolous issues.

At least let people know that it's not a crime for one to be himself. It's not also a crime not give gifts if you don't have. Giving a dud cheque to me is a social crime. Imagine the hope and disappointment the niggar has caused the couple!

KingOfAmebo:
The devil in alBHAGDADI is already speaking out...that's the reason for his outburst...the devil his father is not known to be calm for long before revealing his true nature.

The scripture is very clear on this:

Matthew 7:15-20

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

He couldn't answer my questions correctly, he keeps jumping aimlessly by misquoting the bible to justify his claims.

Don't mind that man. He does that to me also. If this man is really a pastor or a preacher, his followers are in danger

alBHAGDADI:
Never expect a preacher to be friendly with words. Jesus was never friendly with words when he had to speak against evil or wrongs. If people are attacking tithing today, you shouldn't expect.me to be fearful about speaking the truth.

You got it all wrong. When people seek to understand, you should be diplomatic in helping them get over their ignorance rather than bullying them words thinking you replicating Jesus Christ.

In 1 Peter 3:15-16 New International Version (NIV)

15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. I don't know whether you are holier than this speaker here. Whether you like it or not there are a lot of Christians who still bear grudges over paying of tithe in our churches today and you can't educate them by bullying thinking they are attacking your source of income. Jesus Christ's harshness was very educative than yours because his harshness was able to reveal the truth so clearly that no one had an excuse. So Mr pastor, don't flog your sheep with words. Let's be kind to the unlearned to carry them along.

alBHAGDADI:
Please which church pays pastor from contributions of members? Is it not tithe money they use in running the church?

Don't make baseless claims. Buttress them with examples of churches which do such.

You are harsh with your words. Your over zealousness is getting you out of track. If you are born and brought up in a single church then i don't think you possess the knowledge of things going on in other churches. Besides, you understood me wrongly. I am a Christian, I am not condamning but I am only seeking to know. I just discovered that you are not friendly with words. Let's keep here please.
