Good thing the Gospel in the New Testament tells us that giving to the poor is the same as giving to God. If you truly worshipped Jesus, you’d know this.
Don’t take offense when people tell you to stop worshipping false gods and focus on Christianity instead of pastor-deities.

Matthew 25:31-46 King James Version (KJV)

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Some people can be so funny .Who told you the church doesn't need money to preach the Gospel? FREZZE is not a Christian, The Bible says a canal man doesn't understand the things of God. Tithe work like magic.

Opinedecandid:




My brother, you have really tried.
I pray God's blessing upon you in Jesus Name!

I pity believers who support, like and promote controversies against God, the Church and the Tithe.
It's borne out of sheer ignorance.
They have failed to realise that the battle is between TWO KINGDOMS: God's and Satan's.

Satan is obviously using ignorant men to see how to return the church to poverty, lack and disrepute.

Don't pay tithe so the church won't do crusades, evangelism and welfare to members. Seek to belittle and impoverish the church to make God look poor, hopeless and helpless.
Don't wise up, Christians.
I wonder how many doctrines of other religions are subject to public controversy.

Philippians 4:15 And as you Philippians know, at the beginning of my gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in this matter of giving and receiving except you alone.

4:16 For even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion you sent something for my need.

4:17 It is not that I am seeking the gift. Rather, I seek the credit that abounds to your account.

4:18 For I have received all things, and I have plenty. I have all I need because I received from Epaphroditus your gifts—a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, very pleasing to God.

4:19 And my God will supply all that you need according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.....

Money given to a bible believing church is also giving money to God.
They are all important

The gospel supercedes every other form of food.

The statement I quoted earlier said "Money given to a bible believing church is also giving money to God." How do you reconcile it with the bible passage above?

rejosom:
[b][/b]

Tithing as it is used in church is a law that requires people to give a tithe (one tenth) of the income to the church.

I wonder why it is very heavy for you to type. Could it be that you have realize what a hoax it is already.

Well the challenge now is that if you really want to do away with a tenth of your earnings, then use it to bring someone out of poverty instead of wasting it overfeeding already overfed daddy GOs.

Is flying private jet a sin?
Pls where did he fly the private jet to?
Is the private jet for attending night clubs?
Pls answer.
I can as well say its a sin for you to own a car.
I hope you know you can live without a car.
Jesus nor Paul didnt own cars.
Or do you agree its a sin to own a private car in a poor country?

And where is the hungry member that went to church and wasnt given food?

Pls can u tell us the identity of the hungry member?
Or its simply your fabrication....
In a desperate attempt to sound credible.
Just like Judas did when he saw the alabaster

rejosom:
The #TitheAgainstPoverty challenge a.k.a #TAP Challenge simply says we can tithe our nation out of poverty if only we can take the 10% we have been giving to the men of god and give to the poor.
All the while you have tithed to these con men, it has always ended up in Gucci shop or private jet and the likes. Think about one person your tithe can start a business for... Think about a pupil's school fees it can pay... a hospital bill it can offset and do it. Don't give someone to give to the needy... Just do it.

The goal is to put a smile on someone's face and to bring people out of abject poverty not for any God to bless you. If there is a God and he wants to bless you for that fine, if not you are still good.

Besides money and gifts are both material things.

No point

felixomor:

Tithe simply means 10 percent
So how are you sure of the percentage the church members gave?
Even In the book of Acts, it is recorded that some christians even gave 100 percent of all they had.

So tithe is even an understatement.

By the way, have you now seen that money given to a bible believing church is also a sacrifice unto God?

This, Ladies & Gents is one of the greatest posts ever on Nairaland.

As a Muslim, I have often advised Xtian friends to rather help the poor directly than pay into Pastors' pockets.

The beauty of this so-called TAP challenge is this -

1. you might/might not see the smiles you are putting on the faces of your beneficiaries.

2. You are making a greater impact saving someone's life , giving someone a source of livelihood rather than enriching your Pastor who is already richer than you

3. No one is asking you to give them money to manage for you. You are the sole administrator and distributor of your funds.

Most of those who abuse Daddy Freeze are those who have been brainwashed thoroughly from birth by their parents...their social circles.

They simply can't begin to reason outside this. It's impossible. Kudos to them though, I might become a Pastor too one day

Timijo:
You have tried on this your submission about tithe payment. I would advise you to leave those Freeze followers alone, they will not believe you because Freeze is telling them what they want to hear.
These are the same people who condemn men of God for receiving gifts from their members, Philippians chapter 4 that you cited vindicates these men of God and also just justifies them. But Freeze and his blind followers will not believe because their ignorance is irredeemable. Some of them even take pleasure in insulting men of God like Pastor E.A Adeboye, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, Bishop David Oyedepo, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, etc. I am not a member of these pastors but I regard them as men of God.

but be sincere to urself, what they are doing is it right? Can u say Jesus is happy with them? Why deceive God's people to ur personal enrichment? It's not fair na, these pastors make believers feel God does not love everyone by the way they talk and do things. I knw how Chris talks, he makes u feel if u don't give him money God will not bless u, why then did Christ die? oyedepo is very boastful, adeboye humble but sly and assumes his word to be law. Kumuyi is not talking about it because he feels guilty. Olukoya is the only one who came out to say the truth, it is not compulsory. I am not against giving because I give a lot, not to sound immodest, God placed in my heart to assist a church near me build the auditorium and I am doing it gradually, so the point is clear, its good to give to God's work but not in under any form of duress , bet9ja or merrybet pattern where u give and expect return like God is kalokalo.we give because we are blessed not because we want God to bless us but because we appreciate His blessings. If He blesses us more, well and good, but in appreciation of His blessings we give. Let our men of God repent and do God's will. A lot of people in the bible who initially were great ended sadly because they derailed e.g Solomon, Samson, gehazi, Judas etc. Its not impossible for these men of God to go to hell, yes it is possible if they continue in false teaching for personal enrichment.
