An2elect2:
Are you in support of tithing

Topgainer:

5. Christianity tithe. I wouldn't mind if you can trace the origin of this 5th type which has become a crusade. Bible Passages where Jesus, Peter and Paul took 10% of Christians' money as tithe will make your points more convincing.

ysyowel:

yes and no,
i say yes because is the major income of the church, and there is a blessings in giving GENERALLY.
i say no because Jesus and the Apostles didn't say much about tithing.

Sylvekzee:
1. Which would you advise people pay, tithe or tax?
2. Why does God need 10% of my monthly income, he's already rich and can finance all his work without a flinch.

ysyowel:

1) Children of the kingdom are not suppose to pay tax
Matt 17:24-27

2) God command people to bring 10% of their farm produce, and their livestock, to the place of worship not because He need food but because,
i) the levites who have no land and always work before the LORD can eat.

ii) the foreigners, orphans, and widows can eat Deu 14:29

iii) God wanted people to learn how to obey Him.

iv) expansion of the gospel. etc

I disagree. Tithing has nothing to do with teaching anyone obedience.

don't teach wht u don't know sir. Jesus encouraged the payment of tax.
Matthew 22:17-21 KJV
Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? [18] But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? [19] Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. [20] And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? [21] They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

ysyowel:

i mean in the church and not in government, Read Matt 17:24-27 children of God should not be tax but instead they should be allow to give willingly

[b]this is the law guiding tithe

Deuteronomy 26:12-13 KJV
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; [13] Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them :


according to this scripture, tithe shud be brought every 3yeard not every Sunday as we have it now.
tithe shud be shared BTW 4categories of pple; the Levite's, the strangers, the widow and the fatherless.

but most pastors will not read this portion but rather, they will be quoting mal. 3:10.

they left wht constitute the pure religion
James 1:27 KJV
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

they are after their pocket instead.
God is watching sha./b]

ysyowel:

It all depend on the type of tithe.
*Levitical tithe is once every three years Deu 26:12, is for the Levites, Widows, Orphans, and Strangers.
*Tithe of the feast is yearly Deu 14:12-26, is for the person bringing the tithe, but Levites have their shear
*Tithe of tithe is the tithes of the Levites which is to be giving to the Priest
*Tithe of the poor can be given anytime.

Deuteronomy 14:28 KJV
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:

lonikit:

lonikit:


sorry sir. I tink u don't understand this portion. it was talking abt the kind of tree that bingforth their increase yearly not the payment of tithe. the time was later seen in verse 28 which I have quoted.
the time to bring tithe is seen in another place

paxonel:

Then the collection should have a change of name.
The name tithing is misleading

dtruth50:
is Tithe suppose to be given to poor? why pastors eating from it?
