Have You Ever Considered Paying Tithes To Those Who Need Help? by richmond500: 7:14am On Jul 25, 2021 |
Its cool to pay tithes in churches cos the church will use it to enlarge and win more souls for God, but is that enough, should we let the NGO's, widows, needy and orphanage to rot? Cos Matt.25 Jesus told us the criteria for judgement and its not amount of tithe u pay or people u convert into chritianity, a Muslim that shows unconditional love is eternity worthy than a bittered tribalistic christian that never missed paying his tithe Matt.25.41 - Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 30 Likes 2 Shares |

richmond500: I once asked similar question, can I pay my tithe to the church I see struggling financially? and was told I have to pay it to the church where I worship. That, that's where you're getin ur blessings from. You can always Saw seed and render assistance outside your tithe. 31 Likes 7 Shares |

There is nothing wrong in giving to ur pastors and there is nothing wrong in not giving to them, but everything is wrong when u don't show love to those who needs it. Christianity isn't about religion, its a way of life. U can be in other religions and still practice christianity 102 Likes 5 Shares |

richmond500:1. In the New Covenant, tithing which is defined according to the Old Covenant, is a sin. Jesus Christ warned His followers that they cannot serve Him, the New Covenant, and another master, the Old Covenant as well. So, having one foot in the New Covenant and the other serving the Old Covenant is a direct sin against God who decreed that you should not add or remove from any of His Laws. 2. Jesus Christ did not ask His followers to give to businesses, including NGOs. He asked them to instead give to the least of these...where your NGOs are business, the least of these are those who have direct need for that which you have. 20 Likes 1 Share |

richmond500: Deuteronomy 12:11 is The Law. then it shall come about that THE PLACE in which the Lord your God will choose for His name to dwell, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, YOUR TITHES AND THE CONTRIBUTION OF YOUR HAND, and all your choice votive It is about The Holy Place Where God resides. even if his preists are as Eli and Samuel's children. |

richmond500:NGO's are business organizations. And we are not called by Jesus Christ to support business organizations but to do as Jesus Christ commands . Jesus Christ demands we each have that direct contact with those who are in need just as He did. I am afraid there is no sitting away off, writing checks to be forwarded to those in need. Recall Jesus Christ suggesting we are to serve others just as He served us? How can we do as Jesus Christ has commanded if our support is done through third party NGO's? . 5 Likes |

richmond500: You have joined 2 issues together, to wit "Where God Dwells and The Law of Love" I was only raising your attention that tithes and all have to be paid in The Place Where God is, that is all. It is nothing to quarrel over. richmond500: These are supposed to be gifts to be given, not your tithes. Tithes belongs to The House (Place) of God. 1 Like |

richmond500:1. Paying tithe and giving Offerings is a sin for anyone who claims to belong to Jesus Christ. 2. Not saying to neglect them but know that we aren't called to cater to businesses(orphanages) but to those in need(orphans). Last, I checked, in may cities across the world, orphans aren't found only in orphanages, neither are poor people or widows etc. 1 Like |

Hezzyluv:forsake not the assembly of the breathen and bring tithe to my store house are two different books in the bible, stop making it look like they are same, the first part is in Hebrew 10, if u read down, u will find it, I forgot the tithing part but it should be malachi Before God said, bring tithes to my house, the church has not come into existence, I am not worried about giving to church anyways, I am worried about not giving to those who are really in need 6 Likes 2 Shares |

richmond500:What many church goers have refused to understand is that "the CHURCH" is not the building but the people (members)........... God does not duel in a building built by man, but in the heart.... If the right thing were done, there won't be these high rate of poverty in the land...... If one man (founder) of a church is claiming ownership (richest pastor) of the contribution made by the members while over 50% of the members are poor..... why should I continue contributing my hard earned money to him? 5 Likes |
