God may not have an account number per se. But you can lend or give to HIM. By giving to the poor and needy. Matt 25:31-end.

Infact the motive behind God instructing or institutionalizing tithing is to be providing for the needy and poor (including the levites who have no means of livelihood or inheritance per se).

The early church and missionaries understand these very well.

The misinterpretation by the present church is because of their belly, purse, selfishness.

tithe is invogue preaching

in your entire life, u won't be able to be the way he was 5years ago both financially, spiritually and otherwise

For ur info, if God hadn't called him, he would have been a rich Doctor now for your information

I think i might just able to buy both you and your sweaty pastor off... especially if he isn't valued in trillions.
By the way, posting messages here doesn't mean all of us are broke. It means there are wealthy Nigerians who
made their wealth honestly without having to con gullible people like you.

Or a very jobless doctor...doctors have a hard time getting jobs these days. It probably explains why your pastor is sitting
by a fat pot of tith.e and he isn't letting go.

In the voice of Aribisala, "Any pastor defending tithin.g is a thie.f".

God2man:

You people are so desperate, you never give up on this war against tithing.

You have been fighting against tithe for some years now, even though you see the truth clearly, you will still continue arguing and arguing till eternity.

You brought antithing to Facebook, television and all other social media just to tell the whole world that tithing is not biblical.

Let me say that your antithing agenda will open the eyes of non tithers to start tithing.

God help us.

It's interesting that those of you on your side of the divide either are unable to clearly answer simple questions or you end up attacking your "perceived" opponents.

The New Covenant has NOTHING to do with TITHING but EVERYTHING to do about Christ. It's ALL about Christ from the beginning to the end. We have a case of "that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God. LUKE 16:15b AMP

You may not see or understand this because majority of you have been LEGALISTICALLY PROGRAMMED over the years. You will need a renovation of your minds to begin to take in what is truly of Christ as opposed to religion.

If you're not desperate why not just IGNORE us?

SUNDAY SERMON: THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHING


I came across this piece on a Whatsapp page and it so represented my views on tithing that I could have written it myself. Please enjoy the read!

The Trial of Pastor Jones (Author unknown)

Judge: Mr. Jones you have been charged with multiple counts of extortion. Your crime spree covers 20 years and thousands of victims. You have defrauded people out of their money with fear and manipulation, telling them they had to tithe 10% of their income as per the LAW to your Regd. organization (called Church) and that God would bless them if they did. You also told them that if they didn't tithe God would curse them.

How do you plead?

Mr. Jones: I plead not guilty your Honor, I have done nothing wrong. I have only preached what the Bible says. In the Bible Abraham tithed to Melchizedek and God blessed him for his faithful giving. The Bible even says he was rich in silver and gold.

Judge: Is it not true, Mr. Jones, that in Genesis Chapter 13 verse 2 the Bible says Abraham was rich with livestock, silver and gold?

Mr. Jones: Yes, you are exactly right, that's what I just told you.

Judge: Ok, we read about Abraham being a rich man in chapter 13 but it is not until Genesis chapter 14 that we read about Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek. So Abraham was already a rich man before he tithed to Melchizedek, wasn't he?

Mr. Jones: Yes, I suppose you are right.

Judge: So his riches were not the result of his tithe to Melchizedek?

Mr. Jones: No.

Judge: Mr. Jones, you also say God blessed him for his faithful giving. How many times is it recorded that Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedek?

Mr. Jones: Well, just once.

Judge: So the Bible never said that he gave week after week?

Mr. Jones: No it does not.

Judge: Where did Abraham get the things that he gave to Melchizedek?

Mr. Jones: Well the Bible says it was from the plunders of war?

Judge: So you are telling me that he gave from the plunders of war?

Mr. Jones: Yes that's what the Bible says.

Judge: So he basically took things that were not really his in the first place and gave them as the tithe?

Mr. Jones: That is what the scripture seems to indicate.

Judge: Is it recorded that he ever took anything from his own possessions and tithed them to Melchizedek or anyone else?

Mr. Jones: I guess not

Judge: You guess not, you are a teacher and you are only guessing, is it or is it not written that he ever gave any of his own possessions as a tithe to anyone?

Mr. Jones: No it is not written anywhere that I have seen.

Judge: Is it recorded as to what exactly Abraham did give Melchizedek?

Mr. Jones: I believe it says plunder?

Judge: So plunder could be any number of things?

Mr. Jones: Yes, I suppose

Judge: It could have been food, cattle, sheep, the people's possessions or any number of things. It does not say it was all money correct?

Mr. Jones: Yes you are correct, it does not say just money

Judge: As a matter of fact money is never mentioned in that account at all is that correct Mr. Jones?

Mr. Jones: Yes your Honor, money is never mentioned just goods and food and people.

Judge: So there is no way you can say with any certainty that Abraham in fact gave Melchizedek any money at all?

Mr. Jones: That is right.

Judge: I only have one last question for you
Mr. Jones, did God command Abraham to give this plunder tithe to Melchizedek?

Mr. Jones: No, it appears that he did this voluntarily.

Judge: So are you trying to tell me that because of this voluntary, one time gift by Abraham, that may not have even consisted of money, all Christians everywhere are obligated to bring 10% of their weekly paycheck to a local Regd.Organization-church?
Considering all the evidence I would say you are beyond any shadow of a doubt guilty of deliberately trying to make the scriptures says things they have not said for financial gain.

Mr. Jones: Ok your Honor, I can see how foolish I was to try and use the story of Melchizedeck to try and get the people to tithe money. But there are many other verses that will support my belief on tithing. Jacob said he would give God 10% of everything. I think we should follow his example.

Judge: Let's see what Jacob said. Please read the verse you are talking about for me Mr. Jones.

Mr. Jones: In Genesis chapter 28 starting at verse 20 it says. Jacob vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on, so that I come again to my father's house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God, then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God's house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you."

Judge: You said we should follow Jacobs example, is that right Mr. Jones?

Mr. Jones: Yes that is right, he vowed to give a tenth and we should too.

Judge: Let me point out one thing for you Mr. Jones, Jacob said he would Give God a tenth, ONLY if He blessed him first. So as you said previously, we should follow Jacob's example and tell God that we will only give him a tenth if he blesses us first. Is that right?

Mr. Jones: That is not what I meant.

Judge: What did you mean then?

Mr. Jones: That we should give God a tenth also.

Judge: There you go again, trying to make the scripture say what you want it to say for your benefit. I would also like you to tell me the scriptures that say that Jacob kept his vow with God. I would also like to know where he gave the tenth to because there was no temple or levites to give it to at that time.

Mr. Jones: I can not think of any scriptures that say where or if he ever tithed after his vow.

Judge: It seems fairly obvious to me that Jacob made a voluntary and conditional vow to God. This in no way can be used as a reason to demand others to bring their income to you or any other place.

Mr. Jones: I do have a few more scriptures that I believe will show that we are supposed to tithe.

Judge: You have not said anything yet to convince me one little bit that people are obligated to tithe money to the local organizational institutions -churches and that you were justified in what you were doing. You have taken scripture and misapplied it to your beliefs and for your gain. But in order to be fair to you I will allow you to present more evidence.

Mr. Jones: In the book of Malachi chapter 3 starting at verse 8 it says, will a man rob God? yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, In what have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now with this, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. So you see your Honor, we are commanded to bring the tithes into the storehouse or God will curse us.

Judge: Answer me this Mr Jones, Who was God Speaking to here?

Mr Jones: To the People of Israel

Judge: Can you please read Malachi 2: 1 Please Mr Jones

Mr Jones: Now This command is for you O PRIEST !!

Judge: Did God stop talking to the Priest in Chap. 3, Mr Jones?

Mr Jones: No your Honor!

Judge: Answer me this Mr. Jones, were you aware that God never required anyone to tithe money?

Mr. Jones: No I didn't know that.

Judge: The tithe spoken of here was always edible products never money.

Mr. Jones: Well your Honor that is because they didn't have money at the time so God had them tithe food instead.

Judge: Not true, money is first mentioned in Genesis and Malachi was written hundreds of years later. God had them bring food in so that the levites, the fatherless and widows may eat and be satisfied. The tithe was used mainly to take care of people. Also notice it says in the verse you quoted, that there may be food in my house. The food was the tithe. How do you completely overlook the word food in those verses?

Mr. Jones: I don't know

Judge: I also want you to know that these verses speak to nation under the Old Testament law. As you may or may not know Jesus fulfilled the law, it is no longer binding. Once again you have tried to completely take a scripture out of context and apply it to others for your benefit. Can you give me a single scripture where God changed the tithe from food to money?

Mr. Jones: I do not know of any.

Judge: So if God never changed it from food to money who did?

Mr. Jones: Man must have.

Judge: So far all you have done Mr. Jones, is take Old Testament scriptures out of context and try to apply it to believers under the New Covenant. Is this all the proof you have?

Mr. Jones: I do have a New Testament scripture that will show that Jesus told us to tithe.

Judge: Ok let me hear it.

Mr. Jones: Jesus said in Matthew 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone. See Jesus said we should be tithing.

Judge: Let me ask you a question, who was Jesus talking to?

Mr. Jones: The scripture says the Scribes and Pharisees.

Judge: Are you a scribe or Pharisee?

Mr. Jones: Of course not.

Judge: Jesus also said in that passage, you have left undone the weightier matters of the law. Are we under the law Mr. Jones?

Mr. Jones: No.

Judge: Why not?

Mr. Jones: Because Jesus fulfilled it.

Judge: When did Jesus fulfill the law?

Mr. Jones: When He was crucified.

Judge: So the law was still in effect until Jesus death?

Mr. Jones: That is correct.

Judge: I think you know where I am going with this don't you?

Mr. Jones: Yes your Honor. Since Jesus had not yet been crucified and the law was still binding the Pharisees were required to tithe because it was part of the law. Once the law ended, tithing ended also.

Judge: I want you to take a look at that verse again. Also tell me, what were they tithing?

Mr. Jones: The scripture says it was mint, dill and cumin.

Judge: Is money mentioned?

Mr. Jones: No it was not.

Judge: Once again it was edible products that they were tithing, not money. Do you have anything else you would like to say?

Mr. Jones: If people only tithed edible products like the scripture says, then how would the church survive? We have our mortgage payment, utility bills, staff salary and a host of other things that we have to pay each week. We depend on the money from the people.

Judge: By "church" you mean your organization isn't it Mr Jones ?
-The need does not justify the means. In other words, just because you have all these debts does not give you the right to twist and manipulate scripture and cause people to give under fear of being cursed by God to meet your needs. Does It Mr Jones?
In closing, let me recap a few things for you Mr. Jones.
-The tithe was never money;
-The tithe was an Old Testament law, which is no longer binding. When it was binding the tithe was used to take care of people, not buildings.
- We are under a new covenant now.
Paul instructs the Corinthian believers how they are to give. He says in second Corinthians chapter 9 verse 7, Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. So each believer is supposed to give as he or she has determined in his or her heart.
If they determine to Give 10% well and good, If they keep aside some every week to meet this more better.If you are trying to make people give under the threat of being cursed or any other reason even blessing, you are wrong. Someone can not give cheerfully if they are being forced to give. If 'your church can not survive on freewill offerings maybe God is not part of your church at all.
Mr Jones, do you intentionally put your people under a Curse or a Bondage?

Mr Jones: Of Course not !!

Judge: Can you Read in context Gal 3:10-11: For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them ....
AND
Gal 5:1-4 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage....

Mr. Jones: I never realized all these things, I have always been taught that we had to tithe money to the local church and that is what I have always taught. I can see now that I was completely wrong. I did not study the scripture for myself, I only took mans word for it.
Yes ' am guilty. I will not teach this error anymore.
Sentencing....... All Arise .....

Yea, if what Jesus said to one person, he says to all

Don't u know Jesus was with God from the beginning and he's God?

In the voice of Aribisala, "Any pastor defending tithin.g is a thie.f".

Read this:
Dr Paul Enenche was born in Otukpo, Benue state, Nigeria. He is a native of the Idoma tribe in Benue state, Nigeria.
In the Month of May, 1996 in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, Dr Paul was at a crossroad as to what next to do with his life. He had several attractive choices:
To relocate to the prestigious University of London and the Hammersmith Hospital with his beautiful wife, who is also a Medical Doctor, where they had offers to work and simultaneously advance their Medical Profession.
To take two other attractive Medical appointments in two other countries.
Or to keep their jobs in the two different hospitals where himself and his wife worked, and were comfortably accommodated.
As attractive and promising as the future seemed, he was overcome by an unusual level of restlessness in the spirit, and so on the 28th of May, 1996, he journeyed to a mountainous area in the outskirts of Jos, to be alone with the Master of the Universe, Who has the master plan of his life. After three days of fasting, he came down from the mountain with a clear vision of exactly what he was to do with his life.
The Lord asked him to put aside his Medical Certificate and “go to the city of Abuja to start a gospel outreach that will be characterized with a heavy Presence of God to heal, save and deliver people; a church that will restore human destiny and dignity.”

EARLY LIFE
Dr Paul Enenche was born in Otukpo, Benue state, Nigeria. He is a native of the Idoma tribe in Benue state, Nigeria.

TITHING IS CONTROVERSIAL BECAUSE OF THE GRIP MONEY HAS ON THE HEARTS OF MEN-Dr Pastor Paul Enenche

Kindly permit me to use the word sheepl.e for you. I believe that's the best word that describes you...

How exactly does all the nonsense you've written down here invalidate what the Bible says about tithe? If he likes let him be richer than Dangote... How exactly does that affect the welfare of my family?

But yes, I agree he is the god of men. He is your god. Otherwise you wouldn't be out here worshiping him. Here should have been the perfect place to appoint colorful adjectives for you, but you're not even worth it. You suffer from the same sickness affecting most Nigerian Christians, interpreting financial solvency as a sign of divine backing. But the silly man-made religion you subject yourselves to day in day out has made a perpetual blindness happen to you, and you fail to realize that nonChristians are so much more richer than most Christians.

No matter how rich he is, he is still a thief if he so vehemently supports tithing. For by putting paid to the doctrine of tithe, his ill-gotten wealth will vanish in a matter of years.

Thou gullible human being, which Lord asked him to put his medical certificate aside?
Thou foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not believe the truth? Were you there when the Lord was asking him?

You guys will have funny ideas in your head and the next second you will attribute it to God. You guys are impossible. Deceiving and being deceived. Keep telling yourselves the golden lie, that he did not make his money from tithes.

If the Bible is indeed the final authority on Christian affairs, then the preachers supporting it are 419 pastors. Let them, any one of them, Pastor Oyedepo, Pastor Adeboye, Pastor Ashimolowo, Pastor Enenche...etc, let them bring scriptures out that validate tithing for believers that are saved by Christ's sacrifice.

But no, they will never do that. They will never quote Scriptures holistically, they'd rather resort to the funny little bugs speaking inside their head that they keep referring to as "kingdom principle". That is usually your blanket covering for heresies.

After three days of fasting, he came down from the mountain with a clear vision of exactly what he was to do with his life.
The Lord asked him to put aside his Medical Certificate and “go to the city of Abuja to start a gospel outreach that will be characterized with a heavy Presence of God to heal, save and deliver people; a church that will restore human destiny and dignity.”

Tithes were to be given to the levites. The levites were priests who had no inheritance in Israel.

1) If your preacher has inherited his father house or any property, I won't pay

2) if he has assets in his name or keeping any in his childrens name , I will not pay.

People who collected tithes in the old testament did not have inheritance

Outside those without inheritance ( levites ) another set that collected tithes were priests e.g melchizedek ( Melchizedek -non levite)

The problem now is finding the priest cos we don't do sacrifices anymore.

Since levites don't exist any more, I'll give tithes to a priest when I find one . In the absence of a priest I'm keeping my stuffs

1. Abraham "GAVE TITHE" he never "PAID TITHE". You pay what you owe but give what you have. It is for this reason that the bible never recorded that he gave tithe again after then. Even before the war, the bible describes Abraham as a rich man but he never paid tithe.

2. Justifying your present tithing by Abraham's tithe makes a total mockery of you. First Abraham gave spoils of war, you pay with your money and properties. Second, Abraham gave only once in his lifetime, you give every month. So pls how in God's name do you compare your tithing with that of Abraham?

Because we have exposed the Deuteronomy and Malachi truth, you all are now running to Abraham���

bizme:
Thou gullible human being, which Lord asked him to put his medical certificate aside?
Thou foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not believe the truth? Were you there when the Lord was asking him?

You guys will have funny ideas in your head and the next second you will attribute it to God. You guys are impossible. Deceiving and being deceived. Keep telling yourselves the golden lie, that he did not make his money from tithes.

If the Bible is indeed the final authority on Christian affairs, then the preachers supporting it are 419 pastors. Let them, any one of them, Pastor Oyedepo, Pastor Adeboye, Pastor Ashimolowo, Pastor Enenche...etc, let them bring scriptures out that validate tithing for believers that are saved by Christ's sacrifice.

But no, they will never do that. They will never quote Scriptures holistically, they'd rather resort to the funny little bugs speaking inside their head that they keep referring to as "kingdom principle". That is usually your blanket covering for heresies.

I won't say anything again
Life us all about choices
Everyone is entitled to his/her own choices in life
Whatever I want to do, I'll do
And whatever u want to do, you do
Thanks

The church that stands on the prop of tithe should be pulled down. It's a false church. No foundation other than Christ. God didn't say he would build his church with and through tithe. He said he would build it with living stones with Christ as the chief corner stone.

Your understanding of the church is so low. Do you think it is the building that is being referred to as the church?
The reason why majority of you are supporting no tithe message is because you are poor spiritually and you are not a christian. Tithe is a covenant between you and your God because it is not by your power you have the wealth and it is not necessary for pastor to force you to pay your tithe if you really a christian
There is what we called church administration and the church management needs the tithe and offering to fulfill financial obligation in paying staff salaries, fuel and electricity bills, evangelism, general maintenance, take care of the needy, community service and so on.
I assume you are a muslim judging from your monicker, I advise to stay away from this tithe argument because no one can pull down the church of God.

Goshen360:
And you think I lack knowledge and revelation right? You must know me too well to know I lack this and that

Ur post and way of thinking tells it all. Just like when a teenage boy is arguing that he doesn't want to have a formal education Becos certificate does not guarantee wealth and opts to be a mechanic. Of course certificate alone is not a guarantee to make it, but the end will tell if he actually shuns formal education.

Point 3 says

" 3. The Tithe did not begin as a commandment, it began as a Kingdom principle delivered by revelation (Gen. 14:18-20)
Nobody told Abraham to tithe, it was revealed to him by God"

But Abraham did not tithe from his income... Abraham gave 10% of the property of people he recovered...

Abraham NEVER tithe from his income...

onuhabel1:
but master Jesus did not condemn tithe he rather said we should tithe and still do other righteous things
Hebrews also said we should tithe
so its not a matter of judaism

HOW CAN CHRIST CONDEMN TITHING, WHEN THE LAW WAS STILL IN EFFECT, ACTIVE AND RUNNING

JESUS WAS BORN UNDER THE LAW AND HE OBEYED AND FULFILLED IT, IN OTHER THAT HE MIGHT REEDEM HIS FOLLOWERS FROM THE YOKE OF THE LAW.

I BELIEVE THAT CHRIST MUST HAVE TITHED AS THE LAW DEMANDED BACK THEN.... BECAUSE HOW THEN CAN OUR SAVIOUR FULFILL THE LAW, IF HE DISOBEYS IT? MOST OF THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS WAS FOR THOSE UNDER THE LAW AND NOT FOR A NEW CREATION IN HIM.

MANY THINGS EXISTED BEFORE THE LAW. INCLUDING OFFERING OF BURNT SACRIFICE UNTO GOD.

Goshen360:
1. That doesn't answer my question which is, are non tithers like me NOT enjoying open heaven because I don't tithe?

2. How do you know how I am now and how far I should have gone? Do you know how committed I am to giving and blessing or touching people's lives?

Lol,pls How Can You Be Comitted To Giving And You Have Issue With Tithing

because EVERY giving a man does is ALWAYS a certain % of his income. Tithe is legalistic, freewill giving is not!

dfo12:
Pay your tithe as Christians period. The Bible illustrates it and that is the ultimate manual for our Christian living. Do not allow someone without divine knowledge to confuse you with his natural mind not to pay tithes.

Whoever you think eats your tithe is non of your business. Allow God to deal with everyone according to his will. You just pay your tithe and look away. After all, tithe is not your money but Gods. Only rubbers of God will walk away with tithes. Now will a man rob God..? Read Malachi 3:8-12.

Remain blessed of God.

do you even know that the Jews don't pay tithe?

I mean after the destruction of the temple in AD70 no one has paid tithe to anyone. Christianity is voluntary not a job to get paid, and I don't buy that crap about giving tithe to be blessed. The Chinese & Russian don't believe in God. but they are still blessed.

How can a a Good that loves you suddenly need bribe to bless you. salvation is not bought

guy Christianity does not need to pay staff salaries or build structures, because Christians are told to work. The apostles had their job that provided food for them.

secondly we know the only people doing evangelism is not your church members.

onuhabel1:

what about burnt offerings, why did it go with the law but tithing remained. secondly do you know that ever since the destruction of the temple in the year 70AD that the Jews do not pay tithes?.


so how come we pay tithes, are you saying God didn't call the Jews?

No one said you should buy your salvation with your chicken change after all the cattle's on a thousand hills belong to God. If he needed food or money he knows how to get them. But using flimsy excuses to disobey the scriptures (Word of God that cannot be broken) in Malachi chapter 3, I'm no party to it. For to obey is better than sacrifice. Stay blessed like the Russians and Chinese.

the people who keep the Law (Jews) do not pay tithe, in fact has never paid tithe since the destruction of the temple in AD70 that is 70years after the death of Christ. I'm talking of the Jews all over the world, they do not pay tithe in their Judaism meetings. neither do their rabbi collect tithes.

so how come you are paying tithes to your pastor who isn't a Jew or a levite.

is a simple question.

what about burnt sacrifice, the Jews do not sacrifice today, so why keep tithe and then you do not keep burnt sacrifices.

the Malachi you quote did it say you should give money, did it not say foodstuffs. and did it not say that if you have money you should convert it to foodstuffs?

if you can't answer this question don't quote me again.
