Tithe is NOT compulsory. In dis Tinubu economy your brain never set, continue.

Is payment of tithe perquisites for heaven or blessings? If not why being stupid?

Salvation is free. Blessings of God is not attached to payment of tithe rather heart broken individuals, cheerful giver and fear of the Lord.

I have so many questions bordering me and I want christians in the house to help me.

1.Is it acceptable to withhold tithes if I disagree with the pastor's or the church's spending?

2. can I pay my tithe in the different church fromt the one I attended?

3. Is it correct for a pastor of a church and his family to use the church income, i.e. tithes, offering and third party income for their own use, especially since the church is not registered as their property? If no , what do you call their actions

4. Is it biblically okay for most of the pastors to ask for tithe on every Sunday? I mean why do they have to remind them every time, instead of letting people choose if they are okay to give their money!

5. can pastor says my church?

6.Which is better, tithing in a rich church where the pastor has his own flight or giving money to a street preacher?

7 .Why does my pastor make me feel guilty for not tithing when I cannot afford it?
My pastor once announced to the whole congregation that since I started coming to the church I have never paid tithe. I didn’t get angry but I was disappointed! I mean God or the Bible never encourage such announcements. But I’m still in the same church not still paying tithe till now

Stop giving your money to pastors.We have seen enough evidence in this country,that your pastors are merely fleecing you church members for their personal wealth.You can do some charity work or give to the poor and needy in your community,if you feel like helping humanity.

Church's do need to pay for lights, sound, the building etc. etc. So, tithes are necessary. And you should tithe some amount. I'd rather my Pastor not work and have time to support the church (prayer, hospital visits etc etc), so I'm comfortable providing for a Pastor's reasonable lifestyle, and reasonable is the key word.

What I do is dedicate a percentage to "tithing". I give some to the church and the rest to others who may be in need (friends, family, random people).

I think when you find a Pastor who aligns with your spirit you'll know. When I think of a Pastor I think of one I had years ago (now deceased). On Sat's he would walk around the church picking up trash, then clean the inside of it. Was a very humble man. And lived Jesus's words. That is that kind of man I envision whenever I seek out a Pastor. So, I'm comfortable giving to that church.

So, the biggest question is why are you at a church when your spirit is telling you otherwise. If the Pastor doesn't align with God's word how can he lead you? Do you understand God's word? Maybe it's time for some church shopping. Figure out what you're looking for. Are you looking for a church where you the Pastor can feed you the Word (do you need to grow in that area), are you looking for a community, or are you looking for a Church that does social impact stuff (gives back to the community)? Visit some, give them some time and see how you feel.

Aunty, I want to ask you some questions.

1. Do you know why God created tithe?

2. Have you read Matthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42 with understanding?

3. Are you practising Christianity or Judaism?

Answer all correctly and enjoy peace with God

Hope u know u can pay tithe in other ways like helping people in need, motherless homes, poor widows and widowers, poor sick people etc

You should not be paying any tithes whatsoever. You're just funding the lifestyle of your pastor. Tell your pastor to go and get a job cos even the apostle Paul was a tent maker
This is an answer from the pit of hell.

You pay your tithe to the place where the church has responsibility over you, anything less than that is just help you are giving to those people or places.

You are 1000% wrong. This is the result of listening to deluded preachers like Abel and Freeze. There's a reason God talked about tithing. No matter what anybody may say,Mal. 3:8-10 is still relevant till date. God isn't father Christmas and his blessings can't also be picked anyhow.

No, there's only one way of tithing, which is your 10%
Any other thing you do to people beside tithing is nothing than help.

Go and look for a needy and give that money.... that's the right thing to do
Nop this is not the way to tithe. The tithe belongs to God, who manages the money through the pastor or those in charge of the finances.

Your topic shows that you might have never paid tithe ever if you think your pastor annoying you is ground to withhold tithe.
Tithe is to God and not Pastor. You have been dashing your pastor 10% of your income for a long time

Go and read your bible from the genesis of tithe that began with Abraham and Melshezedek, then down to the popular Malachi that many pastors quote out of context. Understand the essence of tithing, who should be paying tithe and to whom tithe should be paid to. Then you will know if at all you should even be giving your money to some man that calls himself a "man of God" in the name of tithe.

No sir. Tithe is not meant for less privileged. It's meant for the service in the house of God and those who minister at the altar of God.
You can give a % of your salary to them,but for tithe, it's for the church and it's ministers.

Tithe is not a prerequisite for heaven but for financial breakthrough.

Secondly, tithe is 10% of your income , and God didn't made it mandatory for everyone to pay if they dont need his financial blessings, but if you need financial lifting from God then tithing is a must.

Read further pls Malachi 3:1-3.

"My people perish for lack of Knowledge"

Have a great life!
