Tithing is not a culture nor tributory to the kings and leaders of the earth/world!
Earthmen seek and collect Tax. Tax is not 10% fixed. It varies and can be even 30% as Government policies allow!
The Matthew scripture you quoted wasn't anything near tithing. LORD JESUS CHRIST GLORIFIED was relating on TAX!!! Never Tithes!!!

Governments don't collect Tithes!
Israelites didn't pay Tithes to Government. They paid to Temples/Priests/Levites/the Poor!!!
When Jesus was tempted about paying tribute to Caesar or not, He said they should give to Caesar what belonged to Caesar and to GOD that which belonged to GOD.
LORD JESUS CHRIST GLORIFIED, thus, separated Government from Worship(Church).
Remember that just as Sabbath was added to the Israelites, Tithing was added to them as a platform to sustain the priesthood. Otherwise, Tithing was from Abraham who paid it by Divine volition to Melchizedek the mysterious ancient Priest AND THERE IS NO COMMAND ABOLISHING TITHES!
Yes, the Church is the priesthood of GOD. But LORD JESUS CHRIST GLORIFIED was wiser than you and your kinds to have given the ministerial gifts to the Church including: Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers and Evangelist as church leaders who will, with the help of the Holy Spirit, blossom The Living organism - The Church, into The Church Triumphant! Some give/pay over 10% on their own joyful Accord!
STOP FIGHTING AGAINST TITHING BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SIN AND WILL NOT EVER STOP BECAUSE THE GENUINELY BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS IN CHRIST JESUS GLORIFIED WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE THEIR TITHES EVEN AFTER READING A BILLION UNNECESSARY ANTI-TITHE POSTS BY YOU AND MILLIONS OF YOUR NAY-SAYERS!

I am not a politician.
But like every human, I live in an obvious political climate where we are all affected one good way, somewhat way or even bad and I dare say, very very bad way!
From the North to the South and East to West, the centre of political gravity has not been holding for most citizens in all dimensions but much more telling in our economic tentacles despite excessive borrowings by the obviously current, tired government as Nigerians have remained poor and yes, wretched!
We have seen Northerners, Westerns and Southerners govern us.
But we haven't experienced the Easterners show us what stuff they are made of in our current democratic dispensation.
I say this not on ground of equity nor on the basis of justice. This should be solely on looking on a set of people who are determined success craziers!
I hereby very prayerfully and dispassionately ask for all and sundry to unite in one voice and support a true Nigerian of Igbo nativity to give us a direction for just and only Four(4) years!
My spiritman tells me that perhaps, who knows, as it was at time of Christ's birth, one of our Eastern brothers might be bringing us some business managerial gifts that might turn to be Golden, God-fearing and real-self-sacrificial.
Who is with me on this?

There is this concept in Christian Ministry circles whereby a minister and his ministry are measured or said to be successful based on the parameters of (1) the number of members (2) number of branches (3) the amount of acquired landed properties such as lands and houses, schools (4) the level of luxurious lifestyle of pastoral leadership and members (5) the egoistic, flamboyant display of fashioned dress code and (6) eloquent flow of high pitch grammar during Fellowship meetings.
While everyone has his calling, directives and flair as some of us would readily argue, do we say Biblically, morally and with a sense of Divine influence on our lives, that these outlined considerations are what make Ministries and pastors truly successful?
In the Supernatural, will GOD accept these even when Godliness, Holiness and conscious Righteous living are absent in our midst?
Are we playing church or we are living out the life of Him who loved us and gave Himself in redemptive sacrifice for us all as referenced in Galatians 2:20?

Some people are having HYPERTENSION because of Tithing.
Arms Giving is an Old Legalistic Command like tithing that continues in the New Testament!
See:
Deuteronomy 15:7-10
“If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother,
but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs.
Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, 'The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,' and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the Lord against you, and it become sin among you.
You shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand.
For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, 'You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land."

Isaiah 58:7(NKJV):
“Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh?”


Acts 10:2-4
² A devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.
³ About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, "Cornelius!"
⁴ And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it, lord?" So he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God."

Arms Giving is good; Tithing is bad!
"Biblical Illiteracy" #101!
#Anti-Church Mentality #202

Tithing! Tithing!! Tithing!!!
Why are unbelieving humans fight the Church so much?
You don't go to Church services. You don't give offering.
You don't pay/give tithe.
And you complain!
Somebody goes to Church.
Somebody gives Offering.
Somebody gives tithe.
And you are complaining!!!!!
Judas Iscariot complained like you!
But Jesus told him that he will always have the poor amongst complainants.
So, give to the poor. Don't pay tithe. Go and pay/give to the poor in your community. Coming here to bash on pastors and Churches over tithing is being a Devil's Advocate!

I used the 6th & 7th Book of Moses with a big long key before I encountered JESUS CHRIST GLORIFIED!
100% OCCULTIC!
100% SATANIC!!
100% HELLISH!!!
Argue with your keyboard!!!

This MADNESS about Ikwerre being Igbo and all that has become very manifest on Nairaland!
Unfortunately all we read and hear about is hearsay and all forms of assumptions!
While the Fulanis want to conquer Nigeria, Ibos want to conquer the South-south in the name of old Eastern Region and blah blah blah!!!
You want freedom and self determination and yet you refuse to free "Igbo Captives" from your mind as if this is not what all this noise is all about, then what is it all about?
Is it because of deep-rooted love for the Ikwerre people? If this is, why the hyperbaric abuses on Ikwerres by many Ndigbo? Why? Please answer the "WHY"!

Useless Woman!

Besides bad leadership and tribalistic men like BUHARI, would we say the church is generally not a developmental institution?
GOD bless you Servant of the Most High GOD!!!!!!

LIES BY LEFTIST LIBERALS!

YESHUA!

?
People to donate Money to assist the needy?
First publicity you are posting isn't about Christ, Salvation, etc but to go to Facebook in other to send money to you to give to the poor and less privileged in the name of Christian Ministry? This is the driving force for its establishment? The same odd story about mindless beings using Christ for personal gains?

YAHWEH is God's self-revealed, personal name.
Although falsely translated JEHOVAH by a Catholic Monk and forced into King James Version of the Bible and other versions with liberal ideology, all Biblical scholarship including Jewish Rabbis are in unison that YAHWEH is the proper translation of the Tetragrammaton YHWH which does not have a "J" vowel!
GOD's name not to be taken in vain is Yahweh-Elohim (LORD God)!

Seen a bunch of heartless sit-at-home critics pointing immoral fingers at a man they can't bend to untie his shoe ropes!
But Johnson Suleman is INDEFATIGABLE, focused and unperturbed in the least!

Frozen man; lost into Oblivion!!!

Goodnight thou great Kingdom Worrior!

What makes you a Christian?
Bearing a Christian name?
Attending church services?
Dear, your heart is polluted!
And STOP abusing contributors who are rather embarrassed at your carnal, worldly, insensitive and PERVERSIVE question!

TundeWX:
Apostle!!!! Apostle!!!!
Try dey disguise now
We are only human

MAD MADNESS DISCOVERED!

THIS ANTI-CURRUPTION GOVERNMENT OF BUHARI IS HYPER-DEMONIC!
GOD WILL JUDGE THIS GOVERNMENT BEGINNING FROM BUHARI TO THE LEAST WICKED MEDIA MOUTHPIECES OF THIS ACCURSED DARKNESS!
3 TRILLION NAIRA & YOU THINK HE IS LYING?
THE MONEY HAS BEEN TAKEN UP NORTH & BANKED FOR COMMON USE AGAINST TOMORROW'S BREAKUP!
ALL NORTHERN LEADERS KNOW THE GENERAL PLAN!

DR NNAMDI AZIKIWE WAS A DISAPOINTMENT & A CORE PROBLEM FOR TODAY'S NIGERIA!

Public Holiday for a man that ruined Ndigbo for his own selfish glory?
Public Holiday for a man with rhetorics and style but played a servant to his masters?
A public Holiday for a man who was a better said to be a Northerner and worked for Northern oligarchy?
Oh, you are celebrating him
because ...........?

Though I couldn't read your full post, my take is, She shouldn't go to his fiance house for sex until Dowry is paid!

BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST ARE NOT SUFFERING!
However, being Born Again is a necessary and understandable vexation to Satan and his fallen, condemned, angry colleagues at disobedience and human partners in the acts stealing, destroying and killing!
As lights, no where darkness reigns will the agents of darkness feel happy but rather hateful relationships will and is the order of co-existence hence physical, spiritual and emotional attacks from all fronts of human life including family, office, school and even the church premises.
So, "suffering" is a relative thing and an indirect experience of our faith in Christ and we have been promised victory in all our undertaking provided we are willing and obedient!

Cry-cry baby!
Go and donate to Juju for all we care!
You don't give,
You are angry!
We give,
You are angry!
Keep on writing,
We keep giving, sowing, tithing, seeding & donating in poverty or in riches!
It is in our DNA!
Let all demons in Hell go and die!!!!!!!

Please be careful!

I CAN SEE WHY YOU PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES!
WE DON'T ABUSE MOHAMMED. BUT YOU ABUSE OUR JESUS! WE DON'T ABUSE YOUR ALLAH BUT YOU ABUSE OUR GOD! WE DON'T ABUSE YOUR KORAN, BUT YOU ABUSE OUR BIBLE.

BUT WHY?

BECAUSE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU IS FAKE. SO YOU USE US TO GET ATTENTION. GO DEAL WITH YOUR BAD IMAGE AROUND THE WORLD!
ENOUGH OF THIS UTTER HATRED FOR A PEOPLE WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR RHETORICS!
SHAME!!!

STUPID Question! Is Peter Obi the only prominent Anambranian? Has other aspirants done that already? I hate this warped sense of tribal hatred!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

*****PLEASE DO NOT CUT MUM'S LEG!!!!!!
FIVE MINUTES PRAYERS WILL RESTORE HER 100%.
I WRITE WITH A TESTIMONY!!!

It is not "Here".

It is "Hear".

And it is not "say"

It is "said".

Nonsense!
Science is a religion that is terribly afraid of GOD.
Anything GOD perplexes science!
Do you know why?
Because science can't exist without GOD! How? Science is dead without men created by GOD!
GOD made man; man made science!!!

So 4G can't carry the Interactive broadcast?
Empty haters!
Unfortunate Anti-christians!!!

Many writing here have no basis to spew their Nonsensical Nonsenses because they are not christians! A non Christian contributing here by lashing out ill words go to show how debased they are.
OLD TESTAMENT DEALT WITH ISRAEL WHICH WAS AND STILL IS A NATION WITH THE LAW OF MOSES AS ITS RULE! THEY COULD GO TO WAR, DEFEND THEIR TERRITORIES AND ATTRIBUTE THEIR LIVES TO ANY BEING OF THEIR CHOICE. FORTUNATELY, THEY HAD YAHWEH-ELOHIM AS THEIR GOD.
The Church occupies much of The New Testament with love as its guilding principle. The Church follows Jesus Christ.
The Bible has not changed. Only the Covenants and testators that changed.
JESUS CHRIST WASN'T A FORNICATOR DESPITE WHAT THE SATANIC, LIBERAL, LEFTIST WRITERS HAVE LYINGLY WRITTEN.
JESUS CHRIST NEVER KILLED ANY ONE LIKE SOME RELIGIOUS FOUNDERS HAVE DONE!
JESUS CHRIST TAUGHT AGAINST IMMORALITY, STEALING, LYING, HATRED, FRAUD, CRIMINALITY, ETC!
�Yes, Christians don't follow all Bible instructions because of the times, reasons, scope and spirit of the instructions.
Many who rush to quickly comment on Christian matters are usually novices who most times enemies of the church which makes them capital hypocrites because their religions do a million worse things than can be found in Christianity.
