The levites are the priests and servants of God today who commit their life to FULLY serve God. If you don't know this, then you really need a spiritual updating. Ask anyone you know in christianity. THE LEVITES ARE THE PRIESTS TODAY.

but the Levites were not all even priests in their day?


Did Jesus command the apostles to collect tithe?

Donaldoni:
24-hour days are a recent invention. That is why you cannot determine what the 7th day of Bible times corresponds to today.

So we just go with Sunday. But the tithe is fixed and must be paid.

Malachi 3:10-12
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

Matthew 23:23
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

2 Timothy 3:16
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Did you know to whom God was speaking to in Malachi 3 were the same with those He was speaking to in Malachi 2:1 the priests?

Do you know why God was speaking to them that way?

Did God wait till Malachi to give a punishment for not tithing, something that was made a law by Moses?

In Matthew was Jesus commending the tithers? Did you know you could read the ending phrase as Jesus saying, you ought to have done this without leaving it undone?

Did you know that no matter how profitable scripture is, it only reveals the saviour and doesn't save you?

Did you know that Jesus is revealed in Malachi 3?

Donaldoni:
Tithe is tithe. Giving is giving.

Jesus addressed both when He was here.

That is why we give other offerings in church aside tithe.

You either pay tithe or you don't.

You don't give tithe. You pay it.

okay so what are you paying for?

And to whom are you paying it?

Donaldoni:
Tithe is paid not given. It's an obligation. It's a fixed figure.

Matthew 23:23
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

have you ever wondered why Jesus used their tithing as example, surely that wasnt the only command they kept abi?

In a list of woes, did Jesus mention that as something good they did?

femi4:
Is it not in the old testament they kill animal and shed its blood. Your illiteracy is on the high. Read to understand, don't read to argue. All the Laws in the old testament weren't fulfil by the previous method, hence Jesus had to come to fulfil them

So, forgiveness is sin: His blood replaced animal blood

Man- priest - God relationship replaced with Man - God relationship

When you think you know the scripture but you are damn empty, also understand context in any verse you read.
You need the Holy spirit to open the scripture for you before you can understand it.

lol epain am....don't cry

aswani:
I was responding to your point about the old testament, the stuff I talked about is there as well as giving of tithes.

I have zero issues giving my tithes to actual Levites, not the charlatans we have all over black Africa.

By the way, tithes are not supposed to be "paid", they are to be "given". A salient difference between the two things exists that fake Pastors, Daddy GO's etc would not want you to understand.

There is nothing monetary about tithes in the bible.

Who are this your Levites in this our contemporary world?

femi4:
lol epain am....don't cry

Let me help your ignorance Jesus death and resurrection abolished the sacrifice that was been carried out by the priest in the old testament but every other law and ordinance still stand.

lolz, if I ask you one question, you will realise how dumb you are

kwasoly:

That's the point I am making, there are none. Tithes are for Levites, there are none in our world.

Certainly not these useless self ordained Pastors with their useless family business they label churches.

lexy2014:
that is not what I asked you.

1. who are these "servants of God today"?

I've mentioned it to you before. Refer to my earlier post

lexy2014:
where in all that you mentioned was "servant of God" mentioned in Numbers 18 that you quoted?

So you don't know that LEVITES ARE servants of God. Then you need to read your Bible more. Thanks

lexy2014:
if you say Levites are the same thing as priests and servants of God, what were Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Elijah, David, ELisha, Isaiah, Daniel, Jeremiah, Jonah to mention a few?

if you say "THE LEVITES ARE THE PRIESTS TODAY", who was the bible talking to in

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Revelation 1:6
and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

The levites were not the only SERVANTS of God. The person's you mentioned also served God.

Nebuchadnezzar affirmed that Daniel was a servant of God

gohf:

The levites were the PRIESTS of their Day. Numbers 18:

2: Jesus said he came to fulfill the law not to break it

Tochi360:
Don't bring your useless sef to my mention bcus I don't take lightly to idiots who think dey have vawulence and insults to throw around.

Nobody is going to hell for not paying Thithe.
It's blessing is engraved in the Sowers Law of Nature. You don't even have to give Your Thithe to a Church. Even if You give it to the motherless, You will still receive the blessing.

Giving attracts Blessing.

You are very stupid for calling me an extremist. Like I said the people paying the Thithe to Church no complain na stupid You don swear se You go kill yourself untop the matter.

Look at a so called Christain raining abuses, you think payment of tithe only make you a Christain? But not attitude like christ? What's Christ like in this rubbish you splitted here


I'm sure those rubbish you wrote up there you're talking to that idiiot that failed in your upbringing. If he had imbibe common sense in You at tender age you won't be rejoicing in your own foolishness


If you mind your business you won't cross to my sincere opinion and be telling me I shouldn't mention you, I will continue to mention you motherfúcker whenever you see my comments and you don't overlook. Cow

naijapikin2:

you have not mentioned it to me.

kindly produce where you mentioned it to me....

if the people I mentioned were not levites, how then are they servants of God since you say servants of God are levites and priests?

also, you failed to answer my second question:

if you say "THE LEVITES ARE THE PRIESTS TODAY", who was the bible talking to in

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Dat lexy2014 babe wey bí say na kweshion she come ask for Nairaland, were she go get time read Bible?

gohf:

Jesus was inferring that they prioritised less weighty aspect of the law(paying tithe) over the weightier aspects of the law(judgement, mercy and faith). That was what Jesus pronounced woe on.

He did not condemn payment of tithe.

gohf:
okay so what are you paying for?

And to whom are you paying it?

We are paying tithe as demanded by God.

We pay to the church.

Malachi 3:10-12
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

Matthew 23:23
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

2 Timothy 3:16
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Did you know that no matter how profitable scripture is, it only reveals the saviour and doesn't save you?

Did you know that Jesus is revealed in Malachi 3?

As as the Bible was written, most of the people being spoken to had ceased to exist.

Then why was the instruction recorded?

The point is that all scriptures apply to us else they won't be recorded.

2 Timothy 3:16
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

but there were followers of Jesus right?

Christians are followers of Jesus Christ. What is your point?

Kindly show us where Jesus said that we should pay tithe as money to the church? Is it not clear that Jesus said you should pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin in Matthew 23:23? Why are you disobeying that clear command to you?

Don't be a dull*rd!!!

He said they were paying tithe of mint, anise and cummin. He did not say they must pay tithe on mint, anise and cummin alone.

Donaldoni:

Show me what else Jesus said they must pay tithe in according to Matthew 23:23.

Michael547:

The bolded is clear enough. Jesus was addressing the fact that they were faithful in tithing and not that they should pay tithe of only mint, anise and cummin - the sole decision of the Pharisees and Scribes.

Matthew 23:23
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Oga Jesus clearly said that they ought to have paid ye tithe of mint and rue and all manner of herbs.....he did not say it was their sole decision to make.....so why are you not paying tithe of mint and rue and all manner of herbs?

Michael547:

That is not what Jesus said.

He said they paid tithe of mint, anise and cummin. They were already doing it. It was their decision.

And then he did not ask them to stop.

Years earlier God had already declared that we bring all the tithes into the storehouse

Malachi 3:10-12
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Where did Jesus say it was their decision to pay tithe of mint, anise and cummin? Was paying tithe of mint, anise and cummin not what they ought to have done?
So why are you going against the command of christ?
