2SWT:
please I'm not a pastor neither am I a pastors wife in fact I don't intend to be any.

then I tink u shud convince us from the perspective of Christ teaching. stop using ur own personal beliv. at least, if u go for evangelism, u will convince and convert the sinner using some scriptures. so as followers of christ, make us know wht Christ says abt it.

2SWT:
Does paying tithe stop you from helping the poor?
My church does its best to help the poor through the word of God, encouragement and financially

So what's left?

do u even knw its purpose

u are just quoting wrongly. u are dodging question. it sims u are a pastor or wife of a pastor.

the question is that based on why God instituted tithe. are modern pastors qualify to receive tithe.

2SWT:
why would I want to twist the Bible?
I tithe simple!

as a Christian, anytin you cannot trace to Christ or find in him is not advisable to do. he is the author and finisher of our faith which means, he is everything abt Christianity.

2SWT:
you people keep talking about the Levites
Who are the Levites?

study the book of numbers and Deuteronomy, u will understand who are levites

2SWT:
I'd answer your question but I just need you to answer this

What does the word"tithing " mean to you?

the tenth of ur blessings. and it is meant for
1 Numbers 18:24-26 KJV
But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the Lord , I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

2Deuteronomy 14:28-29 KJV
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: [29] And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

so tell me, are modern pastor qualify to receive tithe

dont be deceived by wht they say that tithing determine ur prosperity.

it was not recorded that Abraham, Solomon and david paid tithe yet they were Rich. offering is diif from tithe. they did more of offering.

as a matter of fact pagans and Muslims control our economy. and some pple are busy enriching their already rich pastors while they go poorer.

my pple perich for lack of knowledge.
that means u can be holy and lack knowledge.

2SWT:
I totally understand but would you want to deny that the reason you're doing this is to convince people to stop tithing?

my sis, it all depend on ur understanding of the post. I only clarified tithing based on wht somebody posted earlier today that Jesus supported it by doin the analysis of the portion he quoted.

the fact is dat Jesus never paid or preached it. he instructed his disciples when he was leaving the world that they shud go into the world and do two tinx: preach and baptize those that believe. tithing was nt there.

do u know wht zacchaeus said bfr he pronounced salvation upon him
check it out pls

dont be decieved, no pastor is qualify to receive tithe based on the law of levite. offering is highly acceptable based on the teaching of Christ and the apostles.

my pple perished for lack of knowledge not for the lack of Holiness.
it is time to preach against the selective teaching of the word

victoronyekwelu:
I swear fa

lolzzz. the only place Christ spoke mention it is in matt.23:23 which we have analyze based on our own knowledge of the word. Christ never preached or received tithe, same with the apostles.

this is wht James defined to be perfect religion
James 1:27 KJV
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

2SWT:
Oga its my money and I am very free to give to the kingdom of God and to the needy.

Abi does paying tithes stop you from helping the poor?

no body is saying u can't use ur money the way u like. we are just showcasing wht the bible says abt tithing. besides, offering and tithe are two diff tinx.

pls dont be offended sis.

victoronyekwelu:
guy calm down am coming

alryt sir. we are waiting. but its obvious u can't find it.

victoronyekwelu:
bro Jesus advice we Christians to pay thite just trying to get the varse and also it was adviced in the old testament I really don't know why tithing always bring argument

patiently, waiting for u sir.

2SWT:
If you don't want to pay your tithes just keep quiet and allow others to pay. You can't force your beliefs on others

It's funny how some of you deceive yourselves by saying you'd rather give to the poor than to the kingdom of God but when you see the poor you close your eyes and when you see people raising funds online you quickly scroll past

u are one of those that believe ur pastor more than Jesus Christ who is ur saviour. and tomoro u will say u want to be like Christ. Africans are gullible web it comes to religion.

what Christ never preached or did should not be encouraged if truely we are his followers.

victoronyekwelu:
you are not behaving matured cause you are changing the word of Your creator

how, did Christ or any apostle pay, receive or preach tithing

victoronyekwelu:
you are not behaving matured cause you are changing the word of Your creator

how

SmartchoiceNGR:
Tithe is annual. But third year is not taken to the temple. That is that shared so.

The annual is in Deuteronomy 14:22 to the end

sir, I tink that portion is ambiguous. to me, it means the trees that bear fruit yearly not the act of tithing yearly.

I stand to be corrected though.

victoronyekwelu:
Thund fire you am coming back with prove

back to sender, pls behave maturely.

I saw a thread early today titled "Jesus supported tithing"

I will like to analyse the portion quoted denotatively and connotatively.
Here are the only words of Christ abt tithe: Matthew 23:23 KJV
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.


Firstly, was he referring to Christians or the apostles? No, but the scribe, Pharisees and the hypocrites which I beliv we are not among.

Secondly, why did he cursed them? Bcus they left they weightier part of the law and concentrated on the lesser ones which tithe is among. (same situation is seen in modern Christianity where they read malachi 3:10 nearly every sunday rather than, James 1:27 that defined perfect and undefiled religion).

Thirdly, he told them what they ought to have concentrated on. In syntax, a term is called emphasis. It is used wen u really mean somtin and u achieve it by topicalizing the part u wants to emphasize. Jesus carefully spelt out wht he wanted the scribes to concentrate on which are: mercy, judgement and faith.

Another point here is that he encouraged them not to leave others undone. "Others" here means other parts of the law. There are 613 mosiac laws in which tithe was among. do they emphasize the remaining ones like they do to tithing??


Another point is that levites are entitled to tithe. see it here Numbers 18:24-26 KJV
But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the Lord , I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. [25] And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, [26] Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the Lord , even a tenth part of the tithe.

i want to tell u that if u study the book of numbers and that of Deuteronomy to find out the qualification of a levite, u will knw that no pastor equates a levite.

Besides, tithe is not meant for levite alone according to its law. Tithe is to be brought every 3 years which is the year of tithing and is to be shared among 4 set of pple which are: strangers, widow, fatherless and levites. Has ur pastor preached this to u ??


Conclusively, we are followers of Christ which means we don't practice Judaism. Christ never preached paid or received tithe. Same thing with the apostles. They only encouraged offerings which are used to take care of those in need. I believe, Christ is the author and finisher of our faith and we all want to be like him.
