PaChukwudi44: You have heard him but just choose to ignored the points he raised. One. There are hundreds of church brands in Nigeria, tens of thousands of pastors, how many of them have corporate jets at their disposal. Are they up to ten. So in the world of jets Nigerian pastors remain in the minority. Two. Amongst the few who use jets almost all of them have extensive church networks which keep them on the road and in the air week in week out. The have multiple speaking engagements within and outside their church networks, they have extensive administrative responsibilities and do a lot of social responsibility activities. How that is possible using scheduled commercial air services beats me. If corporate executives cannot do it how much more pastors with much bigger responsibilities. Third. Security. For a start if such vile remarks can be made on social media you can expect the intent in reality to be much worse. From atheists through fundamentalists to terrorists seeking to do harm (Popes in the past have survived assassination attempts). Today his security is top notch. Even ordinary folks, reporters, church members will not make commercial travel and unsecured access in travel possible. It has been so since the time of Christ. Granted there is a bit of class/status symbol thing going on with perhaps one or two but most of the ones I know who fly corporate regularly is out of absolute necessity. And if their church members and other Christians in far flung locations felt this was an inhibition they would gladly donate to see their GO's and what have you more frequently. 1 Like |

PaChukwudi44:I'm using a mobile phone so I won't be able to delve deep into this with citations but Colossians 2:16 has this to say; Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a festival, a New Moon, or a Sabbath. This was Paul talking to the gentile converts in colossus and that was because the Jewish converts still practiced some of their traditions like circumscision and Passover feast..heck even Paul was attending and observing the Passover feasts in 1st Corinthians 5:7... he even told the non Jewish converts to observe it.... |

AkpaMgbor: The NT scriptures is replete with quotations admonishing Christians not to live under the jewish laws.In fact the first church council was convened because of this very reason.There is no where in the bible Christians tithed or were asked to pay tithes. Tithing and the entire mosaic laws have been done away with |

xest: This was the same argument by Judas. The bible records in John 12 verse 6 that he said it not because he cared about the poor, but BECAUSE HE WAS A THIEF, STEALING FROM THE MONEY BAG WHICH HE KEPT ON BEHALF OF JESUS AND THE OTHER DISCIPLES. We all know the motivation behind the bolded statement many of you make. many of you have never given a poor person more than a folded, filthy N10 note.

ebenholer: It is you guys that live in an alternate universe, your spiritual leaders have the powers (by prayers) to make people rich, but need's to beg and cajole people to give him money to lift him out of penury and poverty.

A tithe or offering giving to the church should not be to enrich the pastor or Priest in that church,...When a pastor prays for you and God answered your prayers, if you decide to give the Pastor a Jet as a gift out of happiness,..that is a different thing altogether as it is now left for the pastor to know wether to keep the Jet or sell it to promote the spread of Christ gospel through Charity works,..arms giving etc Where it becomes wrong is if a Pastor enriches himself through the Tithes and offerings the congregation brings for the smooth running of the church and for Evengelical purposes 1 Like |

DBestDoc: You just wrote eveything I wanted to write... Daddy Freeze was not against given or donation .. the guy was talking about tithes .. The collection was a gift from the Gentile churches to the Jerusalem believers. Romans 15:26 states that “Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution[b] for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem[/b], my thinking here> " Acts 20:4 there is a list of names traveling with Paul, all likely representatives of Paul’s churches Paul was careful to separate his own ministry from the Collection for the Saints. Because some Jews had plotted against him ..so that they may not say he stole the money ... to begin with ...Paul did acknowledging his right to receive compensation from the Corinthians and then started to battle with that and wanted his audience to catch his work ethic and sacrifice in ministering the word of God "You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities and to those who were with me. In all these things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’ (Acts 20:34–35). But I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. . What then is my reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel. (1 Cor. 9:12–18) Paul conscientiously chose to preach for free so that he would not “put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.” Instead of clinging to the principle “the laborer deserves to be paid,” For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God (1 Thess. 2:9). [b]For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you (2 Thess. 3:7–. Even Jesus said to[b] enter kingdom of God[/b] you have to feed the needy,, cloth them , help strangers. Mat 25 .. I would rather do what Jesus said than worry about anyone's tithe and Jesus did not even recognise tithes as money but as seed and herbs even though they had money.

OkCornel:Oga leave the messenger and face the message! Was judas wrong in telling the woman to use the money from the oil and help the poor? You don't support judas because you know he steals? But you support freeze even though you know he flaunts his expensive watches and cars in the face of the poor? How many people has freeze touched their lives before? Trust me he will boast about it if he does so...the point is that even though jesus knew that the woman could have used the money to help the poor, he still accepted it to be poured on his feet..if Jesus did such today you will accuse him of using such expensive oil to waste on his feet while people are hungry.. |

UNDERSTANDING BIBLICAL TITHING IN DETAIL First thing I will say is that Tithing is not compulsory for the New Testament believers. The Bible states that the bird in the sky do not sow or reap or gather into barns; yet your father in heaven SUSTAINS (or FEEDS) them. So if all you seek is sustenance; grace in Christ will provide that for you even if you do not Tithe. But to operate in high Kingdom Finance is a whole different matter and you cannot operate at that level without electing to Tithe and give offerings. This will become clear as you read Leke’s brilliant submission. There are two regimes of tithe in the Bible. The first regime is the ABRAHAMIC REGIME. The second regime is the REGIME OF THE LAW. That’s short-code for the Law of Moses. It’s also known as regime of the Ten Commandments – the body of legislation enacted to regulate the nascent nation of Israel. It wasn’t Moses who introduced tithe into human history. It was actually Abraham. Before Abraham, there was no mention of tithe in scriptures. (Tithe simply means a tenth). Here’s how we came across tithe in scriptures: The story goes that Lot, Abraham’s nephew, became collateral damage in the power play between the king of Elam and king of Sodom. Sodom, a vassal of Elam had suddenly declared independence and so Elam went to war against Sodom. Lot was living in Sodom. With his allies, the king of Elam conquered Sodom and took prisoners of war. That was how Lot became a prisoner of war. Well, family is family. Abraham took his private army, along with his allies went after the king of Elam and his three allies, and defeated them. He rescued Lot and his family. We’re told as he returned from the battle, he was met by a king named Melchizedek who also doubled as a priest of the Most High God. He brought communion. It was Melchizedek who gave us insight into how Abraham defeated the Gang of Four: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator and Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High who has given your enemies into your hand.” (Genesis 14:19-20) It was a not so subtle reminder God did the conquest for Abraham, not Abraham’s strength or brilliance. The conquest was a work of grace. Whereupon Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the treasure from that battle and that was the first tithe in the Bible. Nobody compelled Abraham to tithe. It was voluntary. For this reason, we shall call Abrahamic tithing elective tithing. He made money and elected to give a tenth of it to a priest of God. The subtext from the invocation of Melchizedek is that Abraham tithed in acknowledgement of the fact that all that he had, all that he owned, all that he had ever accomplished came by the hand of the Possessor of the heaven and the earth. To that extent, Abram (as he was then known) tithed as an act of worship. |

My dear things are not normal in Nigeria, with almost 100 million people living on less than a $1, and 60.9% of Nigerians were living in "absolute poverty" Shouldn't the rise of the wealth of the black church mean less hunger for blacks? Same trend in America, $269.2 million dollars is being pumped into the Black Church economy EVERY SUNDAY, yet just like BLACK Africans (not White South Africans), they wait for the government with their neighborhoods falling apart. You get the picture right. We give that much money to “God” every single year and God never gives it back 10 fold, because if he did then there would be no poor Black people, so something is wrong with this assumption! You claim to have a personal conviction?? LOL I guess Chinese citizens must be giving their God 10% coz God seems to be lifting them out of poverty fast without churches on every street.

"QUOTING A TEXT OUT OF CONTEXT, GIVES RISE TO A PRETEXT." - RAVI ZACHARIAS May I advise the OP to not just look at a text, outside of its context. If you read the whole chapter, you will get a more clearer picture of what its saying. Let me take your point number 3. I will paraphrase the text; Paul says a preacher like a labourer is worthy of his wages (1 Corinthians 9:9-14) which you quoted, but he, Paul, forsakes all those rights so as not to hinder the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:15-26). Paul knew what was truly important, not material blessings even though it was his right but the gospel of Jesus Christ. I dare to say, not one of your flamboyant pastors will forsake material blessings, if that was the condition for the salvation of souls because they treat Jesus as a means to an end, not an end in himself. Have a good day. 1 Like |
