iqaae made in his image, I am a Christian and I will live the life of Jesus, I'm a mini-god because I'm the child of God tjrouvt Jesus, not through tithe.

Pay your tithe my brother. Pay it because your love God. Same Bible say " if you love me you will keep my commandments ". The word of God say love thy lord your God with all your heart,with all your mind with all your soul. It's the summary of the whole chapters in the Bible. How can you love God when you choose to rob him? Why would you think the accuser of the brethren wouldn't fault you for breaking the scriptures?. You think everything is just the blood. It goes beyond that

betterABIAstate:
so what's christianity if not living the life of Christ, is it too difficult to do that?

Why didn't Jesus speak against tithing if he didn't want us to pay? Yes we look up to Jesus the author of our faith but doesn't mean we shouldn't keep his word. We claim to profess Abrahamic blessing upon our lives yet we don't want to follow his footsteps. We claim to love God yet we choose to select which and which to obey. Didn't the scripture say "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" did it say "some"? Who explains the scriptures more better? Isn't the holy spirit? Are we more better in understanding of the scriptures than God himself who gave his word. My dear go on your kneels and ask the holy spirit if it's right to continue tithing. He will reveal deeper things to you. Don't assume you know it all or because you have being grounded in the word.

I hope you know that no religion or ideology under Heaven has total monopoly of the TRUTH.

1st, Abraham wasn't a monthly tither.

Secondly, Abraham didn't pay tithe from his increase, he paid from the proceeds of the war.

Thirdly, I'm not living the live of Abraham else can marry my niece.

Fourthly, I'm living by the teaching and life of Jesus, tithe was not included.

Fifthly, you are quoting the bible out of contest, that passage talked about Jesus not seeing tithe to be important

I won't pay it because Jesus Christ and the early apostles of the church of Christ didn't ask us to.
I will rather listen to them

asuustrike2009:

It goes beyond the blood as some preachers are preaching everywhere. Such preachers if they have the holy spirit in them they wouldn't argue about tithing unnecessarily.

no Sir, Christianity doesn't go beyond the blood of Jesus, Christianity means Christ like and it all about Jesus Christ sir.
Tithing was not included in his teachings

Abraham committed adultery before the law, he lied before the law to the king of Egypt.

Abraham committed some sins before the law but it wasn't a sin because there was no law.

So the scriptures from the beginning to the end was child's play? So the commandments aren't applicable in this dispensation because we're under grace? The scriptures are not for reproof and correction but selective

Was Jesus there from the beginning of creation ? Was Jesus the word?

The biggest financial fraud, scam and thievery is happening "in God's name". You pay 10% of your income as tithe to an immaterial God who is spirit. This money is unaccountable. It is a huge black hole that drains the wealth of sheeples and transfer it to " men of God " who fly private jets

That is your opinion

Do you have to be a Christian or Muslim to believe there will be sun and pretty clouds in the sky?

Christians say JESUS is the way the TRUTH and the life.

I wonder if Jesus practised Judaism in his 3 years and 6 months ministry.

Can any Christian help me on the religion Jesus practised?... and if you say Jesus is God... does God practise any religion?

If God does not practise any religion...do I need to join any religion to reach God and know the TRUTH?

You want me to supply you links of this topic from 2012 to 2015?

It's better we all understand the basics in terms of paying tithe
Deuteronomy 14 vs 22 - 23 and Malachi 3 vs 10
If we read these verses very well and understand, God wasn't asking for tithe in terms of money, he was asking in form of 'Foodstuffs'
God said bring ye all tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house.. On a normal day, every church should have a storehouse..And since most churches don't have, that's why they pay in terms of money.. And unfortunately, some pastors divert these funds. God will judge them.. Some of these churches who use d money in a right way, they buy foodstuffs for people in prison, Hospitals and Motherless baby homes..
Some people will say that some pastors said if you don't pay, u'll be cursed.. God said it himself not any pastor. Malachi 3 vs 9.. But to the best of my knowledge, i think that curse is meant for working class people who fail to pay tithe.. If someone is in the hospital and the person is not paying tithe, will God curse him too?
Pay ur tithe in form of 'Foodstuffs' not money
Thank you

Seun:

What term should be used to describe poor people who voluntarily 'dash' more than 10% of their money to extremely rich people every month?

An Idiot

If you can what stop you from giving to God? Is giving alms to the poor compulsory?

tithing is an old Jewish culture sir, same way keeping of beards is.

giving alms is necessary for Christianity, Christianity is all about touching lives and helping the needy and Jesus encouraged it

The bible did not record the things Abraham did on a monthly basis. it recorded an incident that happened and how Abraham acted. That should be our guiding principle not until you know what he did on a weekly or monthly basis.

so how do we back the monthly tithing? From what portion of the Bible siad you should pay tithe monthly?

Again, it was recorded that Abraham didn't tithe from his own sweat and increase, he gave 10% from the spoils of the war not his personal earnings

You say you are not living the life of Abraham but say sing and claim the blessings of Abraham. Remember the song: Abraham's blessings are mine, I am blessed in the morning, I am blessed in the evening, Abraham's blessings are mine. You want to claim Abraham's blessings but you dont want to do the basic things he did on his way to blessings.

I'm living the life of Jesus, Abraham is not a monthly tither, I don't need to tithe monthly to claim his blessings.

Living the live of Abraham is tantamount to living a lawless life, his era had no guiding law hence he committed adultery and married his relation.
