JustMercy: Tithe has rules as stipulated in the bible...Don't twist it before the christian God will punish u. That u did marriage counselling n crusade doesn't mean that people should disobey God and give u their tithe. |

fcmacdon: In my own opinion, let's all stop trying to play God; and that includes Freeze. I doubt that God will punish anyone for paying tithes or not paying it. And if he will, we all won't know who is right or wrong until we stand before him. All these vain argument is totally unnecessary in my opinion. Let every man serve his creator with a clear conscience. |

WhoBeThisMan: Oh so ur waiting for ur pastor to threaten u physically . The threat is delivered thru scare tactics. Ur pastor scared u with Malachi 3 vs 8 - 10. Ur pastor has long told u from childhood that u are a thief stealing from God if u dont pay ur tithe.........And that the God will send devourers to decimate n destroy ur source Of income... Funny Enough Malachi Chapter 3 vs 8 - 10 is a warning from God to priests/pastors/levites |

Guys its okay,those who want to pay tithes should do,those who don't should keep their money,this is the problem with Christians, u people always feel that everyone has to conform to ur opinion,those who think Christians should pay tithe shouldn't enforce it on others just go ahead and do what u feel is best,those who feel the church should be supported monetarily but not by coercing people to pay tithes should equally uphold their views,this argument is totally unnecessary |

PrecisionFx: everything I mentioned above is the work of grace. Grace empowers for holiness not just forgiveness of sin. brother, salvation is evidenced by works. a man who lives for himself and selfishly holds on to his purse or has no love for Christ and the church cannot claim " grace " |

Doerstech:so your personal holy spirit told you that the poor are excluded from tithe after the Bible says the poor are part of those who receive tithe? if it is so, then that your spirit is evil spirit. |

Tithe is not for the poor. So do not mix it up. If you were a practising christian, you wont need to ask this. Try to read the bible and understand things yourself instead if waiting to hear from people even from your pastor. Give to the poor and forget paying tithe if you don't believe in it. |

PrecisionFx:Dey there dey talk. Tithing is one of the key towards making heaven. God doesn't harbour thieves in heaven. No matter how you see it, even if you argue till tomorrow, the word of God can never change. The word can never be diluted to please mankind. You might be saved but on the judgement seat you are screened especially when you had listen to messages of this nature. Non be d wen u dey see am na he be oh. Many pastors are deceiving their members will grace messages. It goes beyond that. The way to heaven is very narrow. It is a very difficult task to follow. You have to be pure and holy to make it as if there is any spot,nothing for you. There are many things to do,tithe is just one of them |

asuustrike2009: There's no place in the.bible where it was written that only Tithers will make heaven.... Jesus didn't pay tithe. Jesus never received tithe. None of the Apostles or disciple paid tithe. . U can argue all u like but know this, U can never change the bible. |

wirinet:This is the word the accuser of the brethren uses this verse in the bible against humanity. ( 1 cor 6:9-10). A thief can never make it to heaven. How? Because you steal from God? When? Through tithing and offering ( mal 3:8-12). It is very easy to quote but the reality is that God will never change his standard. Tithing has being there from immemorial and would be there. Jesus himself wasn't against it ( Luke 11:42, Matthew 23:23).Tithing has being there ( Lev 27:30-33, Deut 14:22, num 18:24, Amos 4:4). Study these few scriptures and see for yourself whether the Lord himself condemned tithing. Whether he asked this present generation not to pay at all. From Genesis to revelation, there is no single verse of the bible that say don't pay tithe. The Lord Jesus himself didn't condemned it either then I wonder where did the doctrine of not paying tithe came from? Many are just assuming nothing were there is nothing. The word of God is our standard, it is not what you think but what God thinks. It is not what your pastor say but what the word of God says. Satan is very crafty |

walls01:Jesus was specific when certain questions were asked. An eye for eye question was raised, Jesus did explain that there was no need to fight back. The issue of tithe wasn't raised neither did he condemned it. Study Matthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42 to see whether the issue of tithe was kicked against. Jesus never kicked against tithing at all. What Jesus did was to rebuke the Pharisees for not obeying lighter matters along with tithe. He never condemned it ( matt 23:23, Luke 11:42) |

asuustrike2009: Malachi was not referring to Christians or even ordinary Jews, it was talking about priests who were stealing tithes and offerings of the ordinary people. Jesus preached and taught the people about lots of things tithing was not one of them. Jesus never demanded for tithes from anybody and never taught his disciples to collect tithes from anybody. If you really want to be called Christians meaning Christ follower, you follow the instructions and teachings of Christ and not anyone else. Christ have already told you how to show you love him. 1 Like 1 Share |

asuustrike2009: The issue of tithes wasn't raised because it was not important, and certainly not a requirement for salvation.The only times Jesus mentioned tithes was in condemnation of the Pharisees. are you a Pharisee? Jesus never taught tithing. Jesus never went careful in going against established norms and constituted authorities, that was why he encouraged his followers to pay tax to Caesar. Are you now going to say paying Tax is a requirement for making heaven because jesus commanded Christians to Give what belongs to Caesar to Caesar? Have you given Caesar his due? Have you paid your taxes?If not you will not make heaven. |

wirinet:The bible itself from Genesis to revelation is for Christians. Jesus never kicked against tithing either. Study the bible verses I gave and see for yourself. It is easy to say Malachi isn't for Christians but Exodus 20:1 -17 are for Christians. " All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right."( 2 Tim 3:16). It didn't say some scriptures but all. There is reason why put those chapters in the bible. They are not there for decoration |

wirinet:Yes you must pay tax because the word of God says so ( ROM 13:1-6). You must pay tithe because it is a command ( mal 3:8-10). Jesus never spoke against tithing neither did he say we should disobey authorities ( Matthew 23:23, Matthew 22:21). You must respect constituted authorities ( ROM 13:1). There are exception to such submission |

asuustrike2009: Start reading Malachi from Chapter 2 instead if reading only Malachi 3:8 - 12 in isolation. You will see Malachi was talking about priests who were teaching wrong doctrines and stealing tithes and offerings. Malachi 2:2 “And now, you priests, this warning is for you. 2 If you do not listen, and if you do not resolve to honor my name,” says the Lord Almighty, “I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not resolved to honor me. Malachi 2:7 7 “For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, because he is the messenger of the Lord Almighty and people seek instruction from his mouth. 8 But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi,” says the Lord Almighty. 9 “So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not followed my ways but have shown partiality in matters of the law.” |

GREATESTPIANIST: You were instructed to pay tithes by your pastor and not Christ. You pastor might as well instruct you to drink poison or strap bomb on your chest, it does not mean it was instructed by Christ. 1 Like |
