[b] No, you are to give as you please, any amount you deem fit as an offering to your maker. “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” (2Corinthians 9:7) First fruit offerings in our dispensation is a doctrine of men. See what the bible says about the law (ALL, 613 of them, First fruits inclusive) GAL3:10-14 •10 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM." •11 Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, "THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH." •12 However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, "HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM." •13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE" I hope this helps.

You will pay first fruit and still pay 10% of salary every month,hmmmm be wise.in islam 10% is known as zakat and nothing like first fruit.the zakat is paid yearly after all expenses and it goes to the needy(motherless baby home,individual in need etc) and also for the up keep of the mosque or house of GOD.above all,keep the 10 commandment,believe in the holy book,believe in all the messengers of GOD,pray 5 times daily and know that Prophet Isa(Jesus) is coming back. 1 Like |

But did Jesus command us to pay first fruit offering and tithes If this is an old testament law then let us follow all the laws in totality be it old or new testament That is my rake and take No selective application |

imas:Jesus Christ admonished the paying of tithes when he was criticising the scribes and pharisees. Check Matthew 23:23 |
Re: Should Christians Give First Fruit Offering? by pring: 3:41pm On Jan 04, 2015 |
Christ has paid it all. pastors are scammers. are they not human beings, so who will they pay theirs to? Remember no one has made heaven already. we all are on the race, be u pastors, father, deacon, evangelist etc. |

laremsworldwide:What does the Holy Quaran say about the coming back of Jesus. To come back and do what exactly? Please educate me on this. Seems there are more similarities in the two religions than I initially thought. |
Re: Should Christians Give First Fruit Offering? by Trafficjam11: 3:46pm On Jan 04, 2015 |
flipboss: [b] When Jesus spoke those words, he was referring to the pharisees, Jews if you like, people who had the LAW (613 instructions) as their religious constitution, he meant they were being hypocrites by paying tithes, and not abiding by some of the other laws. And at that point HE (Christ) had not redeemed mankind from the LAW yet. Mankind was redeemed from all those laws when christ said those famous words at the point of death "IT IS FINISHED" >Galatians 3:13, 4:5. If you claim tithes are important, then so are the other laws. James 2:8,10, 11, 12. •8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF," you are doing well. •10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. •11 For He who said, "DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY," also said, "DO NOT COMMIT MURDER." Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. •12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. [/b] 1 Like |

To me, I think it's the level to which your faith can carry you. It boils down to one's charitable ability. If you can give the first fruit with all your heart, go ahead. It shouldn't be done as mandatary or burden but as charitable gestyre.... My own view! |

Any church or pastor that collect first fruit from its members are serving the devil. That's my opinion. 2 Likes |

darepoju: Q1.Pls can a Christian also abide by the admonitions below Deuteronomy 22:5 5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. going by this, a christain lady cannot wear the brothers/husband's shirt Deuteronomy 22:9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled. Going by this, I must plant only one type of crop in my garden or farm, mono cropping, no mixed farming Deuteronomy22:11 11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together. Going by this, your clothes should either be 100% cotton or silk or polyester & not a mixture Q2.If these laws aren't binding on a Christian, why do you think those verses on firstfruit is binding on a Christian(since all the instructions Came from Moses) Q2.Can you give an scriptural backing for paying if firstfruit from the New Testament? |

flipboss: Because as at when Jesus walked the earth, there was no christian faith and the Levites and priests still existed. However.... When he died, that was when the first church started ands no Levite or priest was required.. So who are you paying your tithe to? Pastors are not Levites. 1 Like |
