profmiganigal:

u r wrong dear, ur tithe is meant to b given in church, giving to the begger is good but cannot b substituted wit ur tithe. they r both different n hav different blessings attached to them

stagger:


- He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord... Proverbs 19 verse 17
- In so far as you have done this to one of my brethren, you have done it unto Me...Matthew 25 verse 40-45
- He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; but he that withdraweth his eyes shall have many a curse. Prov 28 verse 27

I can quote several scriptures for you here which mandates us to give to the poor. Go and read my original post on page 2 and stop quoting me half-baked. I am fully in support of giving to the poor and I give to the poor very very liberally. I won't blow my trumpet here.

But I do not take the portion which belongs to God (my 10%) to give to the poor. The poor have their portion in my earnings but not from the 10% that belongs to God (tithe).

Brother your ignorance no get part two (sorry no offence)
1. How many places is church mentioned in Bible?
2. What is storehouse?
3. How do you access it?
4. Who is the stakeholder of storehouse?

bedspread:

It's Wonderful to give to the poor... INFACT the Bible specifically talks about dt.

But Your Tithe is not a gift. Neither is it your money. Your Tithe is GOD's SHARE of your Money. And He Directs where it should be taken to. See Malachi 3:10

Dont you know tithe was meant to be paid only every three years??

It was a very stressful week for me as it involved lots of travels and all. So its a Saturday and I was paid for a project I did for the month past.

Going by my tired nature, I knew deep down me that there was no way I could have made it to church the next day and I was hell bent on paying my tithe because of the inherent blessings therein and the last thing on my mind would be to give it to my nebor to pay it for me. (The guy broke and besides I didn't want him to start calculating my take-home (Na sharp man). And I knew deep down that if I keep the money till the next time I would be in church, I was sure I would spend it. (God have mercy on me sha)

So I decided even before getting home to package my tithe and while in the market on a shopping spree I package my tithe and dropped it in the plate of an old beggar. (A mulsim beggar precisely)

Instantly, I saw 50 shades of shocks on her face as she looked at me for a few seconds and I could read her facials more like "For this Buharia?" Lols. And before I disappeared into the crowd, I could see/read her lips mutter prayers pointing towards me. And deep down, I felt blessed and fulfilled.

But was I wrong to have given my 10percent to a beggar instead of to the alter?

Opinions please.

You are right. Such money should be given to the needies.

There is something you failed to understand. Tithing is different from giving to the poor.

Tithe is a very strict stuff people don't know, is a command.

Giving to the poor is just showing kindness to fellow human and God because he said love one another. Give to the poor you've lend Him.

When you pay Tithe, window of heaven will be opened to you AND when you give to the poor, you will receive from God. both of them are similar but different, they are like twins but different.

When the window of God haven't opened (Tithe) your giving to the poor will yield no fruit AND when the window is open and God didn't poor out (giving) you will get nothing.

plz understand or ask your pastor if your a christian

Very wrong, your tithe is to God.. Alms is to the poor. Maybe you using the word tithe makes ne qualify it as wrong. Its not bad to give 10% of your income to the poor its still alms BUT your TITHE 10% of your income to God is sure.
As for those looking at you wrongly thats their business, when giving alms to the poor be it millions of naira its all for your benefit cause youre doing it in the sight of God not man.

Reference:


Because that was their cycle of commerce. Most churches ask on a monthly basis because today the month is our generally acceptable cycle of commerce. I close my accounts in December so my cycle of tithes is yearly. There is no specific time frame. There is a specific value and direction. That is the subject under debate.

Topgainer:

The wrong part of your narrative is to call 10% of your wages, your tithe. The worst part would have been to submit it before one gentile Bishop or his representative, and call that tithe.
10% of your monthly salary is not tithe and 100% of your first or January salary is not First Fruit. When you study your Bible you can't find this corrupted methods there.


Manipulator Bedspread. Malachi 3:10 did not talk about money but foodcrops and food store. It was addressed to Levite Priests and its references as it were, came from the Mosaic procedures for tithing which were violated by the Levite Priests. Your covetous eye sees money in every verse of the Bible. The Op is not under any obligations or law to take a percentage of his money to anywhere much less to a gentile Papa. Christianity simply says give cheerfully, there are more emphasis on giving to the poor and sharing with the brethren.

What conscience are you aiming at? The one molded by extortions and lies like pushing Malachi 3:10 to mean money and a weekly ritual for Christians who were not in the picture. The Op is not under any of your laws, so stop threatening Christians with your ideas (of course, it is not your ideas but that of smarter gods of men)

ahaha Me I nor dey pay tithe Oh but God dey bless me like dis, but anytime I pass teh needy, I dey dig hand 4 pocket drop something!

The Bible instruct that you follow all instructions, line by line, precinct upon precinct (Accuracy). Your 10% tithe is an instruction and there are some things you don't rely on your conscience to prick you!
