Am a Christian, and am proud to pay my tithe to my church. whatever the church uses it to do is not my business, I paid my tithe to God and I look up to God for the blessings that follow and he has never failed. I rep St. Peter's Anglican Church, Ojo-Alaba

Wow, what a thinking...Look at this plausible and possible scenario. Imagine an ISIS terrorist gets into the country and pretends to be a Christian, attends pastoral school (afterall thieves that steal from the offering box also attended pastoral school), and heads the branch of a denomination. Now according to you, you will pay your tithes with no regard for what your tithes are being used for but now you risk paying your tithe to an ISIS terrorist who will use the finance from yours and other spiritually blind followers' tithes and offering and use it to build a network of bombs carefully planted in secret locations in several denominations across the state...In the end your tithe would have contributed to the loss of the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and your tithes definitely do not go to God!

So be wise. Give as you are led by the Holy Ghost! It is then and only then that your giving will go to God as a living sacrifice acceptable to the LORD as your reasonable service.

Good Morning my fellow Nairalanders.

I believe my calling on earth is to assist anyone around me, in every little way I can. I do support beggars, support my friends, support my family members.

My question today is this "what if I use my Tithes and Offerings to help those in need"

Will God be angry with me? Will the cursed for not paying titles follow me?

Better.

Advise please, forgive me for the poor write up.

A pregnant lady whose husband wasn't around and on the verge of delivery approached her neighbor for financial assistance, the neighbor told her the one money she has was for her tithe and she can't give it to her, the lady was delivered of the baby at home.
Now tell me is her tithe honourable unto God?

Pidggin:


It seems you are not reading your Bible, how can you make the above statement? The apostles were going round asking for money to help the Church in Jerusalem. Jesus Christ emphasized giving to men of God.

Read these scriptures: 1 Cor. 9:14, Gal. 6:6-10, Matt 10:41-42, 1 Cor 9:11, 2 Cor 8:7

Was it tithe? Or u dey read your bible for pidgin? Swerve Abeg and don't quote my mention again except you have something better to reply.

u are very very wise bro

at the end God wont ask u how many times u gave ur tithe to ur pastor... he will ask u about the poor and needy and widowed around u that u didn't help... nd help isn't always money... people need to understand that

Apparently it is according to Christians.

A Pastor even described such a scenario as you have painted as a temptation from the Devil to deny you of God's blessings.. grin

Thanks very much
MrPRevailer:


My dear, God requires your 10% to be given in the church. From all circumstances in Bible, the tenth of blessings was given to the priests only/in the temple of God. Don't let anybody ever deceive u concerning this. A genuine man of God can never use your money for personal gratification but for sponsorship of the church's vision.

If u feel your pastor will eat your tithe, it means u don't trust him. Then why u still there? Go out and find a holy church.

I go to The Lord's Chosen Ministry.

''Bring you aaaalllll the tithe and offering so that there will be meat in my house'' Malachi 3

You must give your tithe and offering to God. Giving to the poor is not offering. It's called Charity or alms-giving.

If a church is so rich and you perceive that its not channelling the wealth to save souls and spread gospel of salvation, what you can do is look for a good righteous church you perceive God's presence and offer there.

Op you've found out what others are finding difficult to find. Paying tithe is an olden days doctrine that has been ported to our modern days. Help those in need and God will be your strength. There's he that giveth and the bible says let him give cheerfully. However, try to give to give to your local church (not as tithe or offering) for the propagation of the gospel of Christ. You can make it a monthly thing or weekly, anyhow you see fit. God does not protect any body from devourer just because he paid tithe, that's a modern day xtian joke.

The Christian god is just a propaganda OK. Just leave your life. Help the needy. The universe will reward you. You can be neutral. Just have positive mind towards everything you do, and use this simple affirmation to make whatever you do work "all I am doing is working for me" you will see wonders. Whenever you have sex before you start just say I redirect my sex energy to my business to attract customers, favours etc.

I am a Satanist. But what I just showed you isn't Satanism. Acknowledge your higher self. You will be powerful above the average man who isn't spiritual.

There are so many occult knowledge in this world kept away from the masses using Islam and Christianity.

I just felt like Sharing this with you.

My blessings.

Take care.

After reading this comment of yours, I can't but wonder if tithes collected by pastors are sent to God in heaven. If you are truly a christian as your comment suggests, you really need to go back and study your bible very well.

You see, giving to the needy, the poor, orphans and pastors that really need it are all different ways of giving to God. it is fraudulent to claim that paying your tithe(to a pastor) and helping the poor are 2 different things entirely except if you can prove that tithes paid are not spent by humans but sent directly to God.

I'm a christian by the way, but I don't take whatever message a pastor preaches hook line and sinker like most people who claim to be christians do. I read my bible after every service attended and sift out whatever I hear in the service that do not conform with it.
