Is it right to split your tithe to different parishes if you don't want your parish to know how much you're earning? Will it still cumulate as tithe?

Is this a wrong or deceptive move?

Why wasting your money in the name of paying tithes?

Most of you claim you go to Church, you read and receive Bible teachings but you don't understand the teachings of Bible.

Just like Philip and the man he met near the River bank.

Na mumu dey pay tithe. Pure extortion

Enriching your fellow man while believing to reap from an unknown source is the definition of a fool and his money are soon parted.

TheNobleProphet:
Humans should STOP putting pressure on themselves because GOD ALMIGHTY FATHER our CREATOR does NOT need your money!

All HE wants from us (human beings) is to "genuinely strive and live in accordance with HIS Holy Laws and by "genuinely making sincere/practical efforts to live in accordance with HIS Holy Will"!

The "original concept of tithing" is in Deuteronomy where the verse (Deuteronomy 14 vs 22 - 29 kjv) explicitly explained what tithing is all about which is primarily giving to the needy/less privilege particularly "widows and orphans!

From the above mentioned bible verse, it can also be noted that "tithing" is meant to be given to your fellow men/Neighbour whether you choose do it in The House of The LORD is your choice!

Tithing is NOT to be submitted to any "criminal pastor" as it is being practiced now which is very WRONG!

The above mentioned verse also "prescribe" that you can "tithe" with alcohol!

Don't let NO criminal pastor fool/manipulate you!

Free yourselves from their "false/twisted" doctrines!

Shalom!

iramure:
Use your tithe for personal stuff. Tithe is a scam. your pastors only encourage you to continue being foolish and obedient to it because it favours them and their family members only. Oyedepo, Adeboye, suleiman, kumuyi and other are billionaires because of your own stupidity. The God that created this world without taking money from anyone doesn't need your money to survive. Na your pastors dey chop am.

gregng:
Totally irrelevant issues everywhere u go... For me i dont pay tithe becos its means nothing to me... If i must pay, giving it to the needy will be more appreciated...

Angelfrost:
How does it go to God?!! Your Bible clearly states that God doesn't delight in the sacrifice of Bulls and Rams??!

Even the tithing in Israel was directed at the Jews solely for the benefit of full-time God-ordained Priests who were forbidden from working and owning farms but to serve and eat strictly from the storehouses of the temples.

None of you present-day believers are Jews (Not One)... At best, you are gentiles allowed into God's promise by Grace.

If your church needs money for anything, then cheerfully donate to them without compulsion as The Bible clearly states that He loves those who give cheerfully.

Galaxydon1:

Skyview01:

Interesting facts on tithing

Numbers 18:21 (NIV):

"I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the tent of meeting."

Deuteronomy 14:22-23 (NIV):

"Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine, and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always."

Deuteronomy 14
27And you shall not neglect the Levite who is within your towns, for he has no portion or inheritance with you.

There is a reason the 10% was meant for the Levites (because he has no portion or inheritance with you) It's up to you to research why they do not have an inheritance and how this ties to why they receive this 10%, then you have to ask yourself if your pastors are truly levites literally or symbolically.

Deuteronomy 14
28 “At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. 29And the Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.

Deuteronomy 26:12 (ESV)
“When you have finished paying all the tithe of your produce in the third year, which is the year of tithing, giving it to the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your towns and be filled

Have you seen any parish/church practising the above as stated in the bible ??

Unfortunately for a lot of us Christians, we are locked into this perception that our spiritual Daddy's cannot be wrong, forgetting that even our birth Daddy's make mistakes all the time.

In churches, usually, only the below verses are quoted

Malachi 3:8-10 (NIV):

"Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. But you ask, 'How are we robbing you?' In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.'"

My personal submission is that you would rob God if you were not paying your tithe in the Old testament as it was mandated as an inheritance for the Levites, but in the new testament it is no more a mandate.

As for me, I pay my tithes because I key into the Old Testament covenant on it and because it helps to run the House of God. Once a working Pastor sees this as his cashcow, then the purpose is defeated, I will just pay mine into a different church that actually uses it to maintain the house of God and does a lot of charitable stuffs for the community
