I don't really need to start explaining the importance of tithing.
Of course we all know paying tithe of every income is necessary but I attend a church where every tithe you pay is recorded in a tithe book with a your name boldly written on it .
The motive behind it is definitely not for show off but I don't feel convenient with the fact that the deacons who will count the money would know how much and how regularly I pay my tithe.
Secondly, we tithers are asked to come out every with our tithe book for prayers before dropping it in d tithe box. I feel shy doing that , especially when I think of those girls who will be like "hmmmm, haywire don dey pay tithe , d guy don get money b dat" .. I feel so inconvenient.
The truth is, I've been unable to pay my tithe for a while now, though the cash is intact .

Today is Sunday again and am still bothered.





Thanks

Your tithe is between you and God. Some confused churches would want to behave as if it is their role is to monitor how and ensure you pay your tithe thereby getting vital financial information about you. You just have to be careful because there is a lot of hardship in town and there are people are out always looking for who to sponsor their business ideas. Enquire if the church has account number so you can be transferring it to their account or you write anonymous on the tithe card. Read Mathew 6:4-6 for guidance.

Shalom.

Its not foursquare but one of the Pentecostal churches that has been in existence for ages . So u will understand that such practice has also been in existence as a doctrine . I was in fact born in the denomination but still I find it hard to agree with them about the tithe idea

XXLDICK:
Not to talk down your belief, but people need that money more, stop giving it to already rich pastors.

Give the less privileged. Thanks

In practice if you pay your tithes faithfully God will bless you and if you don't pay bible says that person have robbed God. In the past, I have the same thought as you, I don't pay or pay a very small amount but then I suffer some immense losses in my finances and my health. Since then I pay my 10% and everything changed.
The key is to find a bible believing church that stand on the truth of the word and attend there and pay your tithes. Watch the lifestyle of the ministers there. Tithes are meant to pay for the admin and running of the church and organise programs to win souls to the kingdom

Bros, pls concerning tithes, is it "pay" or "give"? Who told you that it is money? Pls enlighten me

Electroweb:


Well, "pay or give" its all semantics. You knw what your intention is with the money. I think tithing is about money. I sense you know more about this than you are letting on, so you enlighten me then.

ladyverere:
Tithing is for the Jews in the old testament. Nowhere in the new testament were Christians admonished to pay tithe. But instead Christians are enjoined to give cheerfully not by coercion as is evidenced in modern day Protestant churches. Failure to pay tithe will not send you to hell. If you are moved by the Spirit to give please do so cheerfully. It is fully between you and the LORD.

fibe:
not really. to me it's not necessary because it should be between you and God. but why our fathers did that in time past was to keep you in check that you are paying your tithes regularly. because it's very very possible not to be 100% faithful. when there's a bridge in paying for once, you will find it difficult to continue paying. you will keep postponing the payment. hence don't neglect the Faith of our fathers

As a faithful believer, it is mandatory u pay ur tithe...its a command attached with blessing....
don't deceive ursef, d money u giv to d poor and needy is absolutely different from tithe. Christ came and amended d ten commandments and he summarized it to two.....paying tithe symbolise ur tithe to God and giving to d poor and needy symbolise ur love 4 ur neighbour...
Nevertheless, d card is to checkmate u here so u won't default..... I avnt seen a pastor climb d pulpit and call tithe defaulters so dre is nothing wrong with d card.

I was born and brought up (growing) in the Catholic Church and I don't think its a must to pay tithe. Its not monitored and they don't preach much about it. One of the reasons why I love the church.

Creflo dollar was quoted as saying that ig ue had his way he will shoot any christian that doesnt pay tithe

ChiefCommander:


Chairman, I dunno much! But according to the Leviticus records, it was neither money, nor mandatory for all to give! Even at that, there were types of tithes. Furthermore, it was to be "eaten before The Lord your God", and not be left in the coffers of anyone.... One can't but frown at the selective amplification of a portion of the Old testament !

there can be a tithe card but there's no need to have your name or some form of identity written on it. Monitor the tithe not the tither.
