It is mandatory to pay your tithe. As Laid down by God and backed up by Jesus. It is the tithe the church uses in their missionary works. If you feel your pastors are cheating and deceiving you or even robbing you, you can find another church. Individuals should not be forced out compelled to pay tithe. It is between you and God, if you like pay and if you like don't pay.

You said it is mandatory and later said if like pay or not. I need proof that it is a criteria for heaven. Or let me put it this way, if one refuse to pay, is there punishment for it or what do one get to lose if refuse to pay.

[color=#990000][/color]well....Religion has really eaten the morals of today and everybody now seem to have different opinions about tithing and giving. But what about people who listen to podcast and gospel messages about God's salvation and rarely go to church. I am not spiritual but I know giving to the poor is one of the surest ways to provoke God's blessings...sure pass bet9ja....please take your money to motherless babies home or any widow or even someone in need and give it wholeheartedly​ there. Humans are rogues and most pastors are too brainy to twist the word of God to their taste. Listen to the Bible and do as the spirit leads. Give your tithe anywhere your spirit leads you to.

Giving amount to sowing seed. What we know is that there is an appointed place where God designated that Israel take their tithes and offerings to for the priests to bless it . If you plant maize or okra at the middle of a busy road , it will not germinate much more bear fruit. The bible says there is a way that seems right unto a man but the end there of is a way of destruction. In both old and New Testament , the poor refers to the poor amongst Gods people. In fact the Jews had nothing to do with the heathen. Jews says it's not wise to give what is meant for the children to the dogs.
Whilst it may be alright to give to any poor , if that poor does not care about your God, you come under condemnation because you have become equally yoked together with unbeliever. Furthermore , if you give to an occult and a drug addict and one that patronizes harlots, you are a chief sponsor of their evil ways and therefore you will partake in their curse.God Almighty makes His sun to shine on the good and the evil because He is God.You are a man. Except you are led by the spirit of God which I am sure you are not, you have thrown away to the dogs.no blessings expected.
EUROPE today pays the prize of accommodating them without Gods consent. They will have to endure terror for years because of their false assumption of what they call Godliness without knowledge . Be careful next time not to think you are doing good. Watch out in the next few weeks also to see if God is pleased with your actions.

Attention!!!!!
U seem to have forgotten something dat tithe is for the development of God's work/house . Dat is how God's house is filled up after your house gets it's reward from Him.
NB: u can't give ur tithe as a gift to better someone ( if it were ok God would have said dat b4) n u can't give gift as a tithe. Don't mix these up.

You have done the most noble thing a Christian can do. Don't listen to any son of Belial who tells you otherwise.

Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.

Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.

God wants us to worship Him, the way He wants to be worshipped, not the way we feel like worshipping Him

You must have heard and read through different opinions already, but regardless of what you felt after your freewill donation, or what people thinks....I think you've not paid your tithe in the right way it was instructed. So many scriptures already quoted here, so I won't go into Quoting scriptures again, besides I know but little. This is my opinions:

Will you attract blessings for your acts....? Yes, you'll be bountifully blessed with the blessings of a giver, but not of a tether. Tithe is to be paid into the house of God.

It does not have to be your church, but ensure your tithe go to the House of God. Your conscience can tell you whatever it likes, but you must try and understand that God is God. He wants us to worship Him, the way He wants to be worshipped, not the way we feel like worshipping Him

God bless you sir.

It is written clearly, Bring your tithe into my store house, so that it may be food in my house. No begger is Gods storehouse.
Obey instruction if you want to pay your tithe.

Giving is good but a paracetamol cannot do the work of an aspirin. You will get the reward for giving and not tithing.

Give, and it will give given unto you. That will be your reward
And will cast out the devourer and the canker-worm will not eat your crops, You missed that bro.

You will probably be given for giving but the canker-worms will eat it.

Abillsable:
YOU ARE NOT ONLY WRONG,YOU ARE STUPID,SELF_CONCEITED,DISOBEDIENT,PROUD,AND ARROGANT.GIVE IT TO THE PASTOR THAT TEACHES YOU THE WORD.DONT GET SUNK BY ALL THESE FAITHLESS AND WORLDLY INSURRECTIONS AGAINST THE CONCEPT OF TITHE GOING ON IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA.YOU HAVE SURELY BEEN MISLED.IF YOUR PASTOR BUYS PRIVATE JET WITH IT,LET HIM,LEAVE HIM TO GOD TO JUDGE.DO WHAT THE WORD SAYS ,CHRISTIANS DONT HAVE ANY OTHER MANUAL FROM THE BIBLE.

first- I see you as one of the reasons atheist say Christians are mindless gullible people
second- from what you said "if your pastor buys private jet with it, let him, leave him to God to judge. do what the word says". can you use the same response if someone says the pastor uses your tithe to push drugs?
third- that same bible that is your sole manual clearly states in deuteronomy chapter 14 verses 24 to 29 clearly states how tithes are used.

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[/quote
Try to be wise and study your Bible more. The bible does not ask you to bring your tithe to the church. Malachi mentioned 'store house'. Is church a store house? Abraham was the first payer of tithe in Bible record. He paid his own to Melchizedek. Don't be deceived by our modern day preachers who use that to enrich themselves or build private universities that are unaffordable to the church members. Tithe ain't a compulsory obligation after all. It is part of the old law. He did the right thing.

Yes I said it is mandatory, but no one should be pushed around into doing what is right. If you pay your tithe good of you and if you don't good of you. God is the judge.


Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

the idea of tithe payment according to Deuteronomy is not wrong it is like charity you know giving to the poor
I used it to counter those who are saying tithes are not meant for the poor

you know nothing about the bible bro. the man will be blessed twice because Jesus said anyone that take care of the poor has taken care of him not a building or a man in suit speaking English and quoting mal 3:10 to extort the gullible.
read deu14:22-29
neh10:38-39
and Malachi starting from 2:1 to 3:10 to get more knowledge about tithing. this passages I just mentioned now,I'm sure your pastor won't dare to open it not to affect his income coming from you all..he will rather quote mal3:8 to defraud the gullible. meanwhile the malachi is actually referring to priest in the temple robbing God by not bringing their own % of the collected tithes to the store house so that there can be food for the poor . never forget that tithes was foodstuffs and livestock's not Money! and don't dare to tell me that there was no money back in the days of moses. there was money but tithes was food stuffs deu14:22-29...

@ the bolded, Do you listen to tb joshua? cuz he says that all the time.

Reference:


Yes you are wrong. The scriptures explicitly says that you should bring your tithes, "into God's storehouse so that there may be food there". In the old testament (pre-church era) Abraham offered a tithe to ''God's messenger...God's servant".

So one of few things: Tithes are given to specific people for specific reasons. That is why they have a value attached to them and are mandatory. God uses it for 'food in his house'.... to keep His house running.

Thus I cannot see how giving it to a beggar does that except you are specifically instructed by the Spirit of God and is most unlikely because the Spirit and the Word are one.

You can give anything from your money to anybody, but if you title it tithe , it belongs to God only.You do it in the local place of worship.Don't mislead.

Oga I don't know why you find it hard to read your bible. Open it. And get understanding and. Jesus christ said that whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers that you do unto me. Is Jesus not God again? And secondly, read this

Deuteronomy 14:22. "You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year.
23. And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24. But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the LORD your God has blessed you,
25. then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the LORD your God chooses.
26. And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
27. You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
28. "At the end of every third year you shall bring out the tithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates.
29. And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

Does the op need to still pay his tithe or not?

you are wrong. Only 10 percent of the tithe is meant for the church. The remaining 90% of your tithe is meant for the poor. Read nehemiah 10;38

tithe is 10% of ur earnings, n its all u take to church
e.g if u earn 100k ur tithe is 10k n its all u will giv in church. if u decide to giv alms its a free will giving n dere is no amount or %tange attached to it
