Earthbound:
First off, wrong section.

My friend, just take a tenth of your salary and give directly to the less privileged. Better still, open an account for it. At the end of the year, donate the money to an orphanage, a hospital, prison, wherever hardship is the norm. Better than giving to your pastor to raise his standard of living

Actually, that is wrong too...

God never asked you to do that, he said you should eat your tithe....

And when you earn on the third year... You should take one-tenth of that earning as your tithe and give it to the Levites (Pastors), Orphans, Less Privileged and so on...

According to what Peter told Cornelius in the Bible if you keep doing good to people and you do it without God's will, then you are not different from a sinner. If you want to give you tithe then you should do it according to the Bible or you should never do it at all...

I read ur post. Lol, porn and BBN? farfetched from my priorities. Never tuned on BBN show b4 though.
My frnd, the bible said many things about tithe which I knw u haven't seen half of it. Check malachi 3, 4gotten d verse though. U will see anoda thing abt tithe there. What do u say abt d encounter Abraham had with Melchizedek the high priest? Abraham paid tithe to him, did he eat it himself. My point is, b4 u lead us in ur ways and teachings make enough research.

First, you said Abraham paid tithe to the high priest... I hope you know that Genesis comes before Deutoronomy, which means the time before God gave the direction on who tithe was to be paid came after Abraham paid his tithe.. and I know you went to school and learnt past tense and present tense just as I did and I you know how to relate that. Because Our ancestors were running naked before God commanded us to wear clothes every day does not mean we should go back to walking naked just because our ancestors did so since the Lord has commanded us to do differently.

According to the Bible, we should give the Priest and Levites a tenth of our earnings every three years... That is what the Bible said and I believe that Justifies Abraham's payment.

Malachi chapter 3 verses 10
Bring the full amount of your tithes to the Temple, so that there will be plenty of food there.

The questions you should ask yourself is how much is this tithe and how often should we pay.

The Bible says we should pay yearly and eat our tithe, not in our houses but in the temple of the Lord, it says we should eat it with our household and rejoice...

In the third year, the Bible asks us to give One-tenth of our earnings to the Levites, orphans, widows and to the Church.

So, I ask my dear friend... Why are you disobeying God and giving your tithe to the Church every year?

Grayjoy:
Op I don't know the problem some of u have with these "pastors" am sure u don't pay tithe at all, allow God to judge them and let those who are willing to pay to continue paying.
As for the heresy u are preaching to us, don't forget that their crops produces yearly that is why they pay yearly, and when u earn monthly u pay monthly, so also for weekly. Don't just read one part of the bible and sugar coat it for us. Read wide and learn more b4 talkn.

dear Gra.yjoy.. I think you didn't read the post at all... God gave an instruction and warned us not to add or subtract from it.. He also told us to eat our tithe in his presence and he didn't say we should give it to Pastors, he never said we should give it to the Church, but we should eat it with our householld and rejoice in his presence...

This shows how bad we are misinterpreting the Bible... So I advise you to stop watching porn and BBN and go and read the bible.

brandonobi:
they will still look past this and do what they have been "built" to do

The Bible even curses those who add or subtract from it

Revelations 22:18-19
Verse 18
"And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in the book. If anyone adds anything to what is written here. God will add to that person the plagues described in this book"

Verse 19
"And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city that is described in this book"

Recently I made an interesting discovery, that one day I am going to die, that I am going to leave this world and all there is and that I am either going to go back to the dust in an eternal sleep (forever), according to the atheists and I will cease to exist or I will go to heaven and meet my maker according to Christians.

So I rushed back to the Bible and something lead to another, I came across this tithing issue... I looked through the Old Testament and saw something very interesting.

Deuteronomy 14:22
"You must set aside a tithe of your crops - one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year."

I don't know why people pay their tithe every month when it clearly states that it should be paid yearly, but that is not what I want you to focus on

Deuteronomy 14:23
"Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship - the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to be honored - and eat it there in his presence. This applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn males of your flocks and herds. Doing this will teach you always to fear the Lord your God"

This part tells us to bring our tithe to the house of the Lord (the church) and for us to eat our tithe. Mark those words, it never said we should submit our tithe for the welfare of the church or the welfare of the pastors, it said we should eat it for our own selves.

Now, what about if our tithe are not grains or livestock but money.... here is what the Lord has to say about that.

Deuteronomy 14: 24-26
Verse 24
"Now when the Lord your God blesses you with a good harvest, the place of worship he chooses for his name to be honored might be too far for you to bring the tithe."

Verse 25
"If so, you may sell the tithe portion of your crops and herds, put the money in a pouch, and go to the place the Lord your God has chosen"

Verse 26
"When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of you want - cattle, sheep, goats, wine or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and celebrate with your household."

Once again the Lord asks us to eat our tithe and not to give it to the church, he asks us to bring it to the church every year and feast and not to give it to our pastors.

If you read from Verse 28 - 29

You will see where the Lord talks about giving to the Levites (the pastors), according to the bible, they are not supposed to own lands or private jets or businesses, the Lord provides for them, by asking us to give the entire tithe of the third year to the Levites, widows, orphans and so on...

So according to the Bible, the tithe of the third year belongs to the Pastors, widows, orphans and possibly the welfare of the church.

Now you might say there is nothing wrong with paying tithe monthly or paying it whenever you want. That all that matters is the fact that you pay with your whole heart and give willingly.

Let's look at what the book of revelations talks about adding or subtracting from the word of God.

Revelations 22:18-19
Verse 18
"And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in the book. If anyone adds anything to what is written here. God will add to that person the plagues described in this book"

Verse 19
"And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city that is described in this book"

So I wonder why people no longer follow the word of God but follow what their pastors tell them. Or is God now too small, far and invisible for you to obey him and you prefer the pastor you see and touch?

I think Christians should start reading their bible more these days. Your tithe was never meant to be used as salaries for the pastors or help them build houses or build more churches, no God has his own plan and it doesn't matter what you think you know. God wants you to enjoy your tithe in the place of worship, he wants you to eat it...

I wonder why fear make many Christians disobey God in every way possible.

bignoisemaker:
There's something i've noticed. I like putting smiles on people's faces to my own disadvantage. Once I'm paid my meagre sum, I find myself helping those in need and before I know it, the money is gone in a week. Even in a relationship, I think more of the opposite partner than myself. Is this based on my upbringing??


I also don't like being helped. I feel more joy and comfort in helping others. My question is, is this normal? Does any one feel this way too? Do I have to be stern at times. There are times it tells on me and other times I'm appraised for it

Helping is good, but you have to also be responsible and think of the future.
