"Give and it shall be given unto you"-Jesus Christ....

Most of these secular men give way above the Tithe as Alms therefore are entitled to financial blessings irrespective of their Faithlessness... They do not owe the Church anything as long as they aren't Christians and aren't being spiritually blessed by the Church.


Cornelius wasn't yet a believer and yet the Bible records that his Gifts to the poor spoke on his behalf to God.

Egypt Prospered even though Jehovah wasn't their God but the Children of Isreal can't use Egypt's prosperity as Argument to neglects God's commandment of Givings and Honour. Just as Isreal lived by a Unique Principle the followers of Christ must also do the same. When you compare yourself with unbelievers it means you aren't rooted in your Christ Identity-a man that is lost is lost whether poor or rich if you don't have Christ you are doomed.

Christians on the other have a responsibility to finance pastors Gal6:6 and also finance the activities of the Gospel.



I have seen my income triple from Tithing, I have seen the biggest breakthroughs from Alms to the poor also-So I believe if you want to give go ahead and give and be less concerned about terminology.

Any Christian is also welcome to give way above the Tithe both to Church and the Poor. Ministries must be funded, Pastors must be paid, Churches must be built and the poor must be fed. Find the soil that suits you and do both!
what do u now presume I call the normal offering people give in church and what are they used for? Remember, tithe is not for the church but for the pastors and priests, deutronomy encouraged tithing to the levites because dey were seen as poor people as dey work for the church and selflessly tend to d needs of the poor, bt u get pastors owning universities, hotels, private jets and still talk about tithes to people dey should be giving out money to, they are no longer poor, look for a poor brethen to feed ur tithe on and see what trippling of income and breakthrough and other blessings that comes with giving really is, love for God and love for ur neighbour was d only instruction Jesus gave us, why do u tink he had to tell the rich man to sell all he had and give it to the poor and not the priest, we really need to seek for God's guidance and wisdom to see that we owe it as a duty to help people we are better than in dis life and not to pay tithe, don't get me wrong, I am not a pastor, I am just stating the obvious, remain blessed brethen..

No where in the bible did it say that paying tithes makes anyone rich. Tithing is a covenant obligation and not to make anyone rich. The same Bible says God will bless the work of your hands. He that does not work, let him not eat.

Too many people like Reno quote what is not in the bible.

Please tell us what the crux of that "covenant" is. Kindly explain.

Daddy G.O. says we should tithe so as not to be in poverty.

Oyedepo tells us it is to secure our proseperity.

I can go on and on.

Or are your senior brethren telling us lies?

At the end you said you are a tither,why do u tithe?What we need to realise is that all these people,Bill Gate e.t.c being used as reference here give enormously to charity even if they don't tithe these huge sums they give to charity affects a lot of people positively,they are unconsciously tapping into the gains of giving.Daddy Freeze and co have right to their personal opinions.I know a lot of people too who have and are still benefiting from the act of tithing among whom I am one, and no matter what u say we will continue tithing and reaping from it.
But I thought you guys said giving to the needy is different from tithing and giving to the needy can never replace tithing. How comes you guys are now saying by giving to the needy bill gates and zuckerberg are tapping into the gains of giving? Lol

Jews DO NOT TITHE in 2017. But in the past (when the Temple still stood) when they did, this is how it was done:

Biblical Tithes or “Taxes”
Before discussing any taxation system in Jewish law, it’s necessary to get a sense of the various tithes Jews had to give. Although these aren’t “taxes” in the conventional sense of funds going towards the government, Jews were obligated to pay these dues:

Terumah: a tithe levied to support the priests, who did not own property and devoted themselves to the communal good, including serving in the Holy Temple. According to rabbinic mandate, a fortieth, fiftieth or sixtieth of the total produce (depending on the generosity of the payer) was given.

Ma’aser: an annual 10-percent tithe on agriculture (ma’aser rishon) that supported the landless Levites in their service of the Jewish people. Depending on the year, an additional tenth was given to support the poor (ma’aser ani) or was eaten by the owner in the capital city of Jerusalem (ma’aser sheni). Additionally, there was a ma’aser taken from newborn animals, which like ma’aser sheni was to be eaten in Jerusalem (with portions given to the priests).

Leket, Shikchah and Peah: portions of the harvest that were left for the poor. Leket and shikchah refer to stalks that fell during reaping, or sheaves that were forgotten in the field after harvest. Additionally, a corner of the field, peah, was left untouched by the owner for the poor to harvest for themselves.

Machatzit Hashekel: an annual donation of a half-shekel that every Jewish man over the age of 20 was required to give to the Temple coffers. This was used primarily for communal offerings, but was also used for many communal needs, such as maintaining the Temple and salaries for judges.

Additionally, all Jews had to contribute to the building of the Temple, which could be a one-time donation.
