Please give bible reference to where tithe should be brought every 3 years

Deuteronomy 26:12 KJV
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;


u can read the whole chapter for proper understanding. u will also find laws guiding firstftuit offering there.

you misunderstood the both quotations, James 1:27 is talking about visiting the orphanages and widow, this simply means feeding the people who are not yet with the spirit of God (born again) the word of God, for them to repent and have a comforter,(holy spirit) and be comforted by God
while the Malachi 3:10 ,is talking about giving your tithes and of rings, this simply means giving your body and soul to God and in return, he will feel you with his wisdom and knowledge of his word as blessing, not about money . God is not interested in our money,but our life , no one can obtain the blessing of God with money but by our obedience to his word, that's all. the Church today are just misinterpreting the word of God in the flesh (material things) .the word of God has a spiritual understanding, and you need to have the spirit of God to understand his word,if not, the world will deceive you, God bless you.

blood of Jesus. are u serious with what u typed here


let me just reserve my comment. I pray u don't mislead ur followers.

Teacher1776:
tithe is a basic requirement in the mosaic law which was meant to cater for the Levites (priesthood tribe). The gospel of Jesus Christ which forms the basis of Christianity does not place emphasis on tithes. Rather people should give willingly. Even the apostle Paul emphasized that giving in the church should not be under compulsion, but God loves a cheerful giver. Tithing is clearly a provision of the old covenant, which has become obsolete with the introduction of the new covenant.
So the apostle James stressed that the purest form of worship is (not in the payment of tithes) but by looking after widows and orphans.

God bless

I get u. a lot has gone wrong in Christendom but we can do our bit to help. Even in the old testaments. Widows, the poor and fatherles never pay tithes but today. The church makes sure that even the jobless pay tithes.

it obvious we are on same page nw. tnx for understand.

eelipumpin:
There's a law of life by the spirit. Those that are led by the spirit. its not a set down rules for jews . its a Lifestyle of obedience. Animal sacrifices used to be a commandment. Why did you stop. Killing Unbelievers used to be a law. Why don't you keep that. Adulterers should be stoned to death. Bros. why don't we continue these except tithe... wow. find the correlation. I still prefer giving my all than tithe.

I wnt u to knw that some churches still do sacrifice.
regarding the issue of killing, God clearly said it that he hate shedding of blood, its only in some cases that God allow it either by men or by angels or by God himself.
civilization is another factor that stoped that. prophets, judges and kings were controlling that tym, but Paul made it clear in new testament that we shud submit the earthly govt and no govt allows that.

eelipumpin:
My point is: We are not under the law of Moses but of God's spirit.

u are ryt but why do Christians emphasize tithe as against the perfect religion which is the visit widow and fatherless and be spotless bfr God.

eelipumpin:
You don't know the laws. Moses laws are not just tithes. pls read your bible and follow the laws. Including the sabbath law.

don't be selective wen studying the bible. we are too gullible in this part of the world. many pastors teach wht suit them, not all the doctrine of the word

BluntBoy:
In the past, it used to be but not anymore at the time this was said. If it was still happening, the tense would have been "He that despises ...

don't knw ur tribe anyway. but here is the Yoruba version

Roms 8:2 Berean Study Bible For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

any correlation

oriewanbe:
which laws are being referred to here? read Malachi 4:4

oga, broaden ur understanding pls. are u saying jesus came to fulfil laws meant for isreal

naijanaso:
WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW AFTER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS!

this is also found in the new testament sir.

Hebrews 10:28 KJV
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses

no be me write am there oo

naijanaso:
WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW AFTER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS!

oga, these are the words of Jesus concerning law


Matthew 5:17-19 KJV
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
[18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
[19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them , the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

ipobarecriminals:
All

lolzzzz. I rest my case. the answer is obvious judging from ur previous comments

ipobarecriminals:
let me tell u as a mata of fact,WINNERS. give widows/scholarship to students yearly from that tithes #Fact.

lolzzz. u seem not to understand.

which one do u hear more on Sundays; tithe or helping the widow and featherless

ipobarecriminals:
how do u knw that dem nor talk about that on Sunday?Have u been to all?

av bn to many and I hear many on mics. service will not end in some churches without the session of tithes but yet no special attention given to the widow and Fatherless wch constitutes the perfect religion

ipobarecriminals:
how do u knw that dem nor talk about that on Sunday?Have u been to all?

let's use ur church as case study. do they teach that every Sunday

ipobarecriminals:
ofcos,let them talk am,do u think those with "IJEBU AFFINITY aka aradite" go gree give tithe

respond to my mentions. u are more concern with tithing than the other part. let's balance the equation

ipobarecriminals:
yes of cos.U can't plant on a fruitful land and won't reap.Listen up,whether u pay ur tithe in winners/ RCCG, that won't stop them from coming to ur naming/whatever.U invite them(the sec will even announce it on sundays/during fellowship)

do they hav separate session to announce every Sunday that u should visit and help the widow and fatherless like they do to the tithe

do they tell u that tithe is meant for the following:
levites,
widow,
strangers and fatherless


be sincere with ur answers if u are truely a Christian

ipobarecriminals:

out of context sir. I said all the churches u mentioned do talk and observe tithe every Sunday. do they talk on perfect religion which are in James 1:27 every Sunday?? do they

ipobarecriminals:
did they force u to siddon there?Listen. up,wherever u worship/grumble/ nothing change, leave there or God will leave 7.U can't be paying ur tithe and never see change.That one nor dey happen in RCCG,WINNERS,4SQUARE,CCC.even Catholic.

u are correct abt dat. though, all the churches u have mentioned don't force but still no Sunday will go without talking abt it. av they thoroughly observed the other side like that

SUPERPACK:
a levite is far different from the pastors,
1- they marry only fellow levites
2- the spend the rest of their live in the temple
3- all they do is to serve God, no farming, or selling.
.
modern day pastors have families , marry frm any family,
have land ,
live in their various houses and mansions,
have profitable investments,
have family inheritance etc.
.
they can never be same

at that, some pastors are still like levites

ipobarecriminals:
it depend. on the church u worship.Nobody force anyone to pay tithe.Tell us the name of ur own church

don't be deceptive, every church I know observed it every Sunday, I never said its by force.

av they talked on how to help the widow, fatherless and the strangers like that.

xest:
is old testament a law?

most of the laws of God are seen in the old testelament sir. it talks more abt the law. especially the books of the prophets

ipobarecriminals:
whatever. God cannot be mocked. We'll reap what we sow.Mind u,Mal 3:10 trigger. FAITH.U rather serve God with ur tithes. so dat ur life won't remain TIGHT./U kip spending it on sickness.When u pray/exercise it.u'll see the wonders in the word

don't be ignorant of the word. Jesus emphasized mercy, judgements and faith more. he sees tithe as lesser tinx.

I am not saying Christians shud not observed it but how many pastor talk more on wht constitute perfect religion as they do to tithing

xest:
law to who? After christ death are we still living under the law?

so are u saying old testament is not relevant again??

SUPERPACK:
are u to pay tithe to the levites or pastors?.
are their any pastor who does nt have inheritance, work, or land?

Levite's are equivalent to full time pastors in this generation. there are pastors who do not do anytin aside the work of God.

ipobarecriminals:
when u join pastoral, u'll knw whatsup.

bible should be the standard not the circumstances
