In a lost world like ours where everyone waits for a messiah, we live on hope and hope to live.

Truth is, we were born into this popular believe system and it has stemmed into the highest strata of the Christian doctrine.

Never condemn or try to dissuade anybody who pays their tithes.. It just might be working for them.

For me however, I'll pay my tithes to myself.

To your question, No, to each man his own. But IMO, I think it's blind loyalty.

oaroloye:
SHALOM!



Well, I was born into ANGLICANISM- which is a Front for Freemasonry and Roman Catholicism- and is Spiritually Dead. No one ever told ME that we should pay Tithes, nor receive any substantial Blessings.

Do not generalize without facts.



NEVER TELL ANYONE WHAT TO DO, WITHOUT SCRIPTURAL BACKING.

I have asserted that there is NOBODY whom Tithing is "working for," but that they ALL DO IT BLINDLY, and NEVER QUESTION why it is that they DON'T receive anything like an "UNCONTAINABLE BLESSING."



WHY?

Why are you sponsoring a system that HAS NEVER WORKED FOR ANYONE- since SOLOMON- who made ISRAEL so RICH, they had NO TIME FOR SILVER!



"TO EACH MAN HIS OWN" is stupidity.

People should do things because they are RIGHT.

This does not vary from person-to-person, because WE HAVE A LORD, who DIED for OUR SINS- you might have heard of him?

If you were a Christian, you would tell us what Church you subscribe to. I think you are just one of those fighting covertly against Our Foundation.

Real Christians PREACH THE WORD OF GOD, and REBUKE "TO EACH HIS OWN" Doctrines!

You guys should argue with facts
Biblically and historically

I remember in 2015 when I was still a faithful tithe payer, I was saving up to buy my first laptop. I always prayed to God to only give me a laptop whenever I dropped my tithe in the basket. But guess what; that same year I lost about N50K I saved for the laptop. All my effort gone. I begged God to help me but nothing happened.

Because of that I could'nt go to the university that year. 2016 I contined to pay my tithe even more faithfully by paying 11% of my income monthly plus other gifts I received beliving God for admission into the university. That same year the federal government banned Post-utme and I lost admission. At that point, I had paid N24K worth of tithe.

That brought me to the following conclusion. CHRISTIANITY AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS A FRAUD!

oaroloye:
SHALOM!

As a Christian, IT IS MY JOB to Judge Knowledge from around the World, keep and use the Good, and Discard that which is Bad.

Only a Christian who have built upon the ROCK FOUNDATION OF YAHSHUA can do this.

Those who do not know nor obey The Teachings of Yahshua have no base from which to evaluate Truthfully and Righteously.

12. "Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them:
for this is The Law and The Prophets.
13. "Enter ye in at The Strait Gate:
for wide is the Gate,
and broad is the way,
that leadeth to Destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:
14. "Because strait is the Gate,
and narrow is The Way,
which leadeth unto Life,
and few there be that find it.
15. "Beware of False Prophets,
which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16. "Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles?
17. "Even so every Good Tree
bringeth forth Good Fruit;
but a Corrupt Tree
bringeth forth Evil Fruit.
18. "A Good Tree cannot
bring forth Evil Fruit,
neither can a Corrupt Tree
bring forth Good Fruit.
19. "Every tree that
bringeth not forth Good Fruit
is hewn down,
and cast into the Fire.
20 Wherefore by their Fruits
ye shall know them.
21. "Not every one
that saith unto me,
'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into
The Kingdom of Heaven;
but He that doeth
The Will of my Father
Which is in Heaven.
22 Many will say to me
in That Day,

'LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT
PROPHESIED IN THY NAME?
AND IN THY NAME
HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS?
AND IN THY NAME
DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS?'

23. "And then will I profess unto them,

'I NEVER KNEW YOU:
DEPART FROM ME,
YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.'

24. "Therefore whosoever heareth
These Sayings of mine,
and doeth Them,
I will liken him unto a Wise Man,
which built his house upon a rock:
25. "And the rain descended,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house;
and it fell not:
for it was founded upon a rock.
26 . "And every one that heareth
These Sayings of mine,
and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a Foolish Man,
which built his house upon the sand:
27. "And the rain descended,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house;
and it fell:
and great was the fall of it."
28. And it came to pass,
when Jesus had ended these Sayings,
the people were astonished
at his Doctrine:
29. For He taught them
as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.

shall lie upon him,

from under Heaven.
21. And The LORD shall separate him unto Evil
out of all the Tribes of Israel,
according to all the Curses of the Covenant
that are written in this Book of the Law:
22. So that the Generation to come
of your children that shall rise up after you,

and the Sicknesses which The LORD hath laid upon it;
23. And that the whole land thereof
is brimstone, and salt, and burning,
that it is not sown,
nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein,
like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah,
Admah, and Zeboim,
which the LORD overthrew in His Anger,
and in His Wrath:
24. Even all nations shall say,

"WHEREFORE HATH THE LORD
DONE THUS UNTO THIS LAND?
WHAT MEANETH THE HEAT
OF THIS GREAT ANGER?"

25. Then men shall say,

"BECAUSE THEY HAVE FORSAKEN THE COVENANT
OF THE LORD GOD OF THEIR FATHERS,
WHICH HE MADE WITH THEM
WHEN HE BROUGHT THEM FORTH
OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT:
26. "FOR THEY WENT AND SERVED OTHER GODS,

THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK:

OUT OF THEIR LAND IN ANGER,

AND IN GREAT INDIGNATION,
AND CAST THEM INTO ANOTHER LAND,
AS IT IS THIS DAY."

unto The LORD our God:
but those (Things which are)
revealed belong unto us
and to our Children for ever,
that we may do all
The Words of This Law.

shall rise up in the Judgment
with this Generation,
and shall Condemn It:
for she came from
The Uttermost Parts of the Earth
to hear The Wisdom of Solomon;

a Greater than Solomon is here.
43. "When the unclean spirit
is gone out of a man,
he walketh through dry places,
seeking rest,
and findeth none.
44. "Then he saith,

'I WILL RETURN INTO MY HOUSE
FROM WHENCE I CAME OUT;'

and when he is come, he findeth it empty,
swept, and garnished.
45. "Then goeth he, and taketh with himself
seven other spirits more wicked than himself,
and they enter in and dwell there:
and the last state of that man
is worse than the first.
Even so shall it be also
unto this Wicked Generation."

THOSE WHO ARE "BY THE WAYSIDE" and "ON THE ROCK" will LOSE WHATEVER is GIVEN them, AND SATAN WILL TAKE IT FROM THEM.

I want to know what your Religious/Spiritual Background was, that you thought this would work.

"BEGGING" God does not work; you must be sure of your Rights for Prayer to work.



I fell for this Teaching when I was in the Pentecostal "FAITH MOVEMENT."

AT THE TIME ,I WAS DEPENDENT ON DVINE HEALING TO STAY HEALTHY, SO FAITH WAS NEVER MY PROBLEM- JUST KNOWIMG EXACTLY WHAT TO BELIEVE.

The University of Life Trinitarian Pentecostals advocated GORDON LINDSAY'S "VOICE OF HEALING" Cabal.

The greatest luminary of that assembly was KENNETH ERWIN HAGIN, and his greatest follower was KENNETH COPELAND.

I devoured their media, wherever I could find it.

JERRY SAVELLE was not as popular, but as KENNETH COPELAND'S Pastor, he shared in his limelight. I did not know much about him. Someone, however, got his glossy magazine.

In it, was a Message by JERRY SAVELLE, based on this text:

[color=silver].[/color] GENESIS 26:12.

12. Then Isaac sowed in that land,
and received in the same year an hundredfold:
and The LORD Blessed him.

JERRY SAVELLE MADE THE ASTONISHING STATEMENT, THAT GOD HAD TOLD HIM- THAT GOD HAD TOLD HIM- THAT GOD HAD TOLD HIM- THAT ANYONE WHO DONATED TO HIS MINISTRY WOULD RECEIVE A ONE HUNDREDFOLD RETURN, THAT YEAR-REGARDLESS OF HOW CLOSE TO THE END OF THE YEAR THEY DONATED.

That was maybe OCTOBER 1983, or so.

I totally believed it.

"How could JERRY SAVELLE, friend of KENNETH COPLAND and KENNETH E. HAGIN be telling a LIE?" I thought to myself.

I would have TOTALLY sent him money, and expected my Hundredfold-Return, had I had the means to do so at that time.

As I thought about it, IT SUDDENLY OCCURED TO ME:

"These people believe in Divine Prosperity better than anyone: WHY DON'T THEY DONATE A 1/% FRACTION OF THEIR NEEDS TO OTHER CHURCHES- then they wouldn't need to be begging for money all the time?"

After every tape massage, there would usually be a call for donations.

It was sort of irritating.

I had been out of Organized Christianity for many years, before I learned the actual reason for this:

Doctor GENE SCOTT, who had a Ministry called THE UNIVERSITY NETWORK on WWCR was lambasting Christians who donated money to the Church, THEN ENTERED THE TRANSACTION ON THEIR INCOME TAX FORM!

He said that they were violating The Lord's Commandment:

[color=silver].[/color] MATTHEW 6:1-4.

"Take heed that ye do not
your alms before men,
to be seen of them:
otherwise ye have no Reward
of your Father
Which is in Heaven.
2. "Therefore when thou
doest thine alms,
do not sound a trumpet
before thee,
as the Hypocrites do
in the Synagogues
and in the streets,
that they may have glory of men.
Verily I say unto you,

'THEY HAVE THEIR REWARD.'

3. "But when thou doest alms,
let not thy left hand know
what thy right hand doeth:
4. "That thine alms may be in secret:
and thy Father Which Seeth
in secret Himself
shall Reward thee openly."

IT HAD ALWAYS BOTHERED ME, THAT NO ONE EVER TALKED ABOUT THAT!

But I had never suspected that American Christians routinely DONATED MONEY TO THE CHURCHES- then REPORTED their donation to the GOVERNMENT!

The reason for that was that THEIR DONATION TO A GOVERNMENT-ACCREDITED Religion would be REFUNDED!

These Religious Groups recognized by the Government are given TAX-EXEMPT status, IF they adhere to Government Guidelines: for instance, WHAT they can preach. Also, THEY MUST NEVER SHOW A PROFIT.

That is the Secret behind their "FREE" DONATIONS- Magazines, Tapes, etc.

They have to give this stuff away, to AVOID makinga PROFIT!

Where you see Americans donating to their churches, it does not mean that they are being generous.



This is a stupid conclusion to arrive at.

You KNOW you did not fulfil all the conditions required to grant your prayers!



HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU SOULFULLY SING: "I SURRENDER ALL! I SURRENDER ALL!" IN THAT YOUR CHURCH?

Everybody loves THAT song- until they have to ACTUALLY SURRENDER SOMETHING: they sing differently, then.

You KNOW that the Lord Yahshua SAID that you MUST BEWARE of WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING.

Why were you acting SURPRISED and OFFENDED, when you actually MET SOME?

You are complaining, because it BIT YOUR MOJO OFF? What did you THINK it was going to DO- give you a Mouth Gig?

The JOB of the WOLF is to IMPROVE THE HERD by REMOVING the members who CANNOT KEEP UP.

YOU PRAYED FOR GOD TO GIVE YOU A LAPTOP (because He keeps Laptops in Heaven, don't'chaknow!) DID YOU PRAY FIR HIM TO GIVE ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS LAPTOPS? Did you pray for Him to give Laptops to OTHER PEOPLE YOU KNEW NEEDED LAPTOPS? Did you Pray for Him to give Laptops to STRANGERS? Did you Pray for God to give Laptops to YOUR ENEMIES?

I ENJOYED FIVE YEARS OF DIVINE HEALTH.

I was Healed of Chronic Malaria, Common Cold, and Headache consistently through my Organized Church membership- whereas NO ONE ELSE IN THE WHOLE FELLOWSHIP (of the Unife Joint Christian Fellowship, University of Life, Ile-Ife,) HAD A TESTIMONY LIKE MINE- they were ALL HYPOCRITES who USED MEDICAL TREATMENT when they were ILL- just in case GOD FAILED THEM.

THROWING AWAY MEDICINE is NOT what makes your Faith Work, but the LOVE OF GOD that gives the CONFIDENCE that GOD HEARD YOUR PRAYER, regardless of HOW YOU FEEL, and CANNOT let you down.

Very many SERIOUSLY-ILL Christians have put aside their medications, and DIED MISERABLY.

OTHERS have done the same, AND LIVED.

DOING THINGS BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE DID THEM, AND SUCCEEDED, IS CALLED "EMULATION."

There is SPIRITUAL EMULATION and CARNAL EMULATION.





I was at a loss to explain why MY Faith should work, while OTHER CHRISTIANS with access to THE SAME "FAITH MEFIA" as me GOT ZERO (even NEGATIVE,) results.

It was not until recently that I realized that I would have been the ONLY ONE in ALL the Fellowships who spent MORE time Praying for OTHER people's Heath, than HIS OWN.

[color=silver].[/color] LUKE 18:9-17.

9. And he spake this Parable unto certain
which trusted in themselves
that they were Righteous,
and despised others:
10. Two men went up
into the Temple to pray;
the one a Pharisee,
and the other a Publican.
11. The Pharisee stood
and prayed thus with himself,

'GOD, I THANK THEE,
THAT I AM NOT AS OTHER MEN ARE,
EXTORTIONERS, UNJUST, ADULTERERS,
OR EVEN AS THIS PUBLICAN.
12. 'I FAST TWICE IN THE WEEK,
I GIVE TITHES OF ALL I POSSESS.'

13. "And the Publican,
standing afar off,
would not lift up
so much as his eyes
unto Heaven,
but smote upon his breast,
saying,

' GOD BE MERCIFUL
TO ME
A SINNER,'

14. "I tell you,

' THIS MAN WENT DOWN TO HIS HOUSE
JUSTIFIED RATHER THAN THE OTHER:'

for every one that exalteth himself
shall be abased;
and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted."
15. And they brought unto him also infants,
that he would touch them:
but when his Disciples saw it,
they rebuked them.
16. But Jesus called them unto him,
and said,
"Suffer little children
to come unto me,
and forbid them not:
for of such is
The Kingdom of God.
17. "Verily I say unto you,

'WHOSOEVER SHALL NOT
RECEIVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD
AS A LITTLE CHILD
SHALL IN NO WISE
ENTER THEREIN.' "

I BELIEVED that God had Healed ME through MY FAITH: why then, should I withhold that Healing Power from others who needed It? Whose LIVES might depend on that Healing? Even, people I had NEVER MET, and EXPECTED NOTHING from?

It NEVER OCCURRED to me that I might be WASTING MY TIME, or that "maybe God doesn't want me to pray for those people."

Therefore, I never had any "CRISIS-OF-FAITH," because I used my Faith EVERY DAY- so that It was there for ME when I needed It for ME.

ONE OF THE MOST STUPUD ABUSES OF PRAYER, IN MY OPINION, IS PRAYER FOR SCHOOL ADMISSION, AND "EMPLOYMENT!"

That is PRAYER for GOD: THE LIBERATOR, to make you a SLAVE.

If you believed that God can give you a LAPTOP, why couldn't you pray for Him to GIVE YOU THE KNOWLEDGE to CREATE a Laptop? Why didn't you Pray for a LAPTOP FACTORY?

You on.y went to Churches that taught you to use COVETOUSNESS to ENSLAVE and IMPRISON yourself.

I have had enough of all your insane Christian lies.

Thank you for your contribution; however, I am not interested in what you think the "facts" concerning Tithing are- Biblically or Historically.

The only thing important about Tithing is that it is indeed the Key to a BLESSING LITERALLY UNCONTAINABLE ON THE EARTH- which is not being made available to Christians who pay their Tithes faithfully, if blindly.

ifenes:
Yes!

DeSepiero:
oaroloye, could you briefly say why tithe is collected in the contemporary church?

oaroloye:
SHALOM!



The way people pay Tithes is like a person going to a Showroom of goodly limousines- choosing one, because it has a NICE RADIO inside-one that really "picks," has excellent fidelity, good volume, etc. etc. Most Christians will go on paying their Tithes BLINDLY like that, their whole lives- and DIE STUPIDLY. There have been people who have woken up to the realization that they are making their PASTOR rich- whereas it was NEVER THEIR INTENTION to make him rich. They are OFFENDED that he is rich off of THEIR TITHES.

Now if the Pastor was (incontrovertibly) Healing the Sick, Casting Out Devils, Raising the Dead and Cleaning Lepers, anybody complaining should be immediately awarded the Left Foot of Fellowship. WHY would you want someone like THAT in your church?

If the Pastor was Saving Souls and Solving impossible Problems- even without Miracles-I think he earns whatever he is given- don't you? But I vehemently object to the sort of Pastor that really has nothing useful to say- is just "marking time,".............. I want to know: WHY ARE YOU PAYING THAT MAN? They STILL pay their TITHES and give their OFFERINGS (I suppose); WHAT FOR? WHY PAY FOR SERVICES THAT ARE NOT RENDERED?

As such, our immediate task is to CREATE or JOIN a MINYAN: a Group of a minimum number of TEN RIGHTEOUS MEN, working together.

TEN RIGHTEOUS MEN will donate 10% of their Income to a HOLY MAN- who therefore does not have to "WORK FOR A LIVING," other than to devote his FULL TIME into ATTAINING and MAINTAINING the state of HOLINESS.

The REASON why SERVANTS OF GOD should be paying their Tithes OUGHT to be to create or maintain a HOLY MAN.

oaroloye:
SHALOM!



The short answer to that is: "JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD!" MY POINT is that TITHING has NEVER been done for the CORRECT Reasons.

A better question- the one I believe that you are really asking, and which I suppose I have not answered is: "WHY DID THEY COMPLY?"
My cynical answer to which is: "JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE STUPID!"

Now if the Pastor was (incontrovertibly) Healing the Sick, Casting Out Devils, Raising the Dead and Cleaning Lepers, anybody complaining should be immediately awarded the Left Foot of Fellowship. WHY would you want someone like THAT in your church?

If the Pastor was Saving Souls and Solving Problems- even without Miracles-I think he earns whatever he is given- don't you?

But I vehemently object to the sort of Pastor that really has nothing useful to say- is just "marking time," until he has talked everyone to death- has everybody backed behind him in a CONVOY traveling at the Speed of Stupid. Stagnant.

I want to know: WHY ARE YOU PAYING THAT MAN?

oaroloye:
SHALOM!

THIS SCRIPTURE IS USED AS THE BASIS OF CHRISTIAN TITHING:

No one seems to CARE, that NO ONE in the History of Full Gospel, has EVER obtained THAT Blessing!

CHRISTIANS GENERALLY HAVE BUT A VAGUE IDEA OF WHAT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS.

When someone like ME teaches SERIOUS THINGS, even TITHERS respond with COWARDICE, HATRED, ANGER, and ENVY, and REJECT The Teachings- standing MUTE while DOGS and PIGS trample on The Message- which IS The SACRED WORD OF GOD- and upon the Messenger. What can be more retarded than THAT?
