fellowman:
is tithe money or foodstuffs and if it is money is it supposed to be converted into foodstuffs.

is your pastor a levite?

miketayo:
Ohk I agree with Ur classification of tithes.
Are pastors Levites? And if they r..

didn't Jesus Nd his disciples pay tithes also[quote]Well it’s not recorded but Pastors do pay tithes

[quote]there r many Jewish laws in the Bible which Christians don't follow

but tithing is d only Jewish law they insist on following, they can as well get paid from offerings

We pay tithe in my church but its extremely voluntary, even the priest didn't encourage it.

plainbibletruth:
Like someone earlier said, and I quote:
"I wish u can spare some time and be humble enough to learn."

Did you really read my post?
Or you were more eager to respond with vituperation?

See again one of the things I wrote :If God wanted ANYTHING before Christ to be included in the New Covenant he would say so. The focus of the New Covenant is Christ alone from start to finish.

So, anything from the old that is still essential for the Christian life will be found in the EPISTLES.

Are 'offering', 'prayer', 'worship', 'fast' and 'alms to the poor' found in the Epistles?

Are you still under the Mosaic Law or under the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus?

I CHALLENGE YOU AGAIN to clearly point out how EACH item of my above post you called "error" are WRONG, otherwise you show yourself as a real peddler of FALSE TEACHING ON TITHE ON THIS FORUM.

miketayo:
Which work were d Levites using it for then?

That's y I said u need to ask a Jew how it's done.. they still share it amongst d poor in d temple.

miketayo:
It says all d tithes belongs to God, dat doesn't mean it shouldn't be shared amongst d poor.. everything on earth and in heaven is for God .. but God won't eat the harvest.

Jesus said whatever you do to the least of my brother you do to me..

Grace001:
In light of that passage which make clear how Jesus felt about the practice of tithing, I doubt that the practice was followed by the apostles. Nowhere in The NT do we read about the apostles either preaching tithing, or practicing it.

miketayo:
Instead of classifying types of tithes and all.. y not just ask any Jew how tithes r meant to be paid.. den tell me if Christians r doing it dsame way? Still didn't see d error u just repeated wat he said in a slightly different manner

aribisala0:
Jesus never condemned kidnapping

aribisala0:
WHO dd Jacob pay tithes to ?

Really ? when did Babylonian civilization start?

He certainly knew about circumcision.Why did he not make a vow about circumcision? That was a clear commandment.

If there was a commandment about tithes then what sense is there in making a vow about it

Jews do not make vows to keep the Sabbath or not eat pork and so on but they still make vows.

miketayo:
He quoted d scriptures on every point he made.. y hasn't any pastor given answers or counter wat he said till now?

Justbright:
Ur like are d hypocritical ones

Bible don't condemned tithing

BT d problem with d pastors are dey failed to let their gullible and lazy congregations who are lazy to study d world knows Dat tithing is not mandatory,

ofai:
Thank you my dear.

Do your best to make them understand, but don't let them push you off as it is clear that many of them are itchy in wanting to have a balanced understanding. Some just don't like the idea of tithing.

Don't stress yourself. Let them be.

Remain lifted.

lonikit:
next time u
my only question to u is that why is it that Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith did not practise it.

likewise the apostles??

are u we suppose to do what Christ didn't do

aribisala0:
Tithe is not a spiritual act.

Tithe is the same as tenth given to anyone.
If we are gang members in robbery. Depending on seniority your share could be a tithe
Tithe was a tax standard in the Middle East area of Babylon for centuries and in the general area that Abraham came from.

The question you should ask is how did Jacob give his tithe? Was it to a priest or temple or was it in burnt offerings

WHO DID JACOB PAY THE TITHE TO?

generaliy:
It is so painful to realise that a backsliding man who has fallen from the faith and some entirely non-believing wretched sinners are now creating "standards" for the church to discuss or debate, it is a pain too much to bear for anyone who understands what the church should be doing presently in the programme of God.

aribisala0:
Omoonile's have their own formula for sharing largesse

As did the raiding tribes of the middle East.

If you plundered you settled.

Abraham settled the King of Salem Mechilzedek who was also a priest

Samsimple:
I have been to many churches and this statement you will mostly hear it when the pastor preaches salvation.. Not just any form of bad like really in the world badness. You will hear things like :
"i was once a thief"
"i was once an addicted smoker"
"i was once an area boy"
"i was once a prostitute" and the most recent one the pastor claim to be a former IFA worshipper and that he has eaten all kind of meat clean and unclean, defraud a lot of rich men and that he know all form of voodoo... What the hell...
After enjoying the world pastor wants us to live like a saint kolewerk!!..

Abeg nairalander which one did you hear from your pastor?

Goodyshoes:
If you must preach, learn to let go of material and financial gains, whether they come in the form of tithing or what not.

Goodyshoes:
I haven't said doctrines that don't lead to salvation shouldn't be preached.

Those are two mutually exclusive notions.
I mean, rather, that tithing and similar money collection schemes are not necessary for a christian to go to 'heaven'

They are strictly old testament doctrines, and were not advanced by Christ as written

I want you, if you will, to show where He advanced that. Using any reference you choose.

If you, as a christian, is verily bothered about the salvation of man, then material things like money and tithes wouldn't be a priority and you wouldn't feel hurt when the notion/doctrine is challenged, whether or not it's challenged by a Christian.
Cheers.

Goodyshoes:
I believe you also are of the opinion that it isn't prerequisite for salvation, why then is it of utmost importance to you or anyone who preaches it?, since you agree that:
1. It's not prerequisite to salvation.
2. Jesus did not preach it.


Cheers.

Grace001:
How come something as important as tithe was omitted in NT, but NT talked about how Jesus had last supper with his disciple,

Ranchhoddas:
All neutrals can see that Freeze is handing it to you guys hot and thick.

A person is better of giving his money to priests than to people like Oyaks.

Veraatabeh:
is having a private jet to hold crusade in other countries a sin, public plane take time nd at times they dont met up in the churches outside Nigeria,other pastor abroad also invites to their churches to preach.A private jet as a gift frm a church member to pastor is it also means yahoo pastor abi. Preaching the word of God in different dimension u can use ur mouth, internet, cars nd jet to preach around the world

Goodyshoes:
I'd love you to show, in very clear terms, why tithing is prerequisite to salvation as a Christian.

Cheers.

You were being haunted by a blast from the past popular self-confessed Word of Faith Sir

obailala:
,, I'm yet to see any scripture which mandates any Christian to observe the old covenant Mosaic Laws

Ephesians 6:1-2
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise

obailala:
, at the time the statement was made, the Mosaic Laws were still in full operation for all Jews.
