mrAMG:If anyone feels tithe is not been utilized adequately, he or she is at Liberty to call the particular church to order or port to another church at best...not ranting about tithe every now and then |

Righteousness89:Op, why are you teaching nonsense? Read your bible, make sure you're knowledgeable before putting yourself in a position to teach others. The New Testament verses you quoted had nothing to to do with tithes. Acts 4:34 was simply talking about Christians having a common purse. That way no one was at a disadvantage because the poor were taken care of from this purse. Luke was Jesus instructions to take care of the poor. I'm not telling you to pay or not pay tithes. I am saying you should stop trying to force bible passages to fit in with your stance. |

First fruit in January, is it also biblical? January that parents prepare their children to go to school, some churches have also made first fruit a doctrine. |

theapeman4:...try to love before you hate, try to understand before you criticize.... Be matured in logical arguments... You don't like the Catholics and there ways therefore the largest church on earth with its over 1.2 billion followers are going to hell... The Catholic Church is actually the oldest church and all protestant, Pentecostal etc all came out from the Catholic church.. Yes doctrinal differences brought about all this right from Luther King but still try to understand before insulting |

Austinrenny:If you read that Chapter well, it said you shall bring it to the house of the LORD. And eat it there. If it is too heavy to carry it, you MUST change it to silver (portable) and BRING IT where the LORD shall choose (alter or temple) and the levites, and the less priviledged shall eat with you and your household. Righteousness89 nice post.

Righteousness89:/ Your thread should be: Why I Must Give My Money To Another Man To Spend. The Bible said, "Slaves, be obedient to your masters" 1 Peter 2: 18-20. Therefore any person going against the word of God in the Bible by fighting against slavery will definitely go to hell. Some of you are dimwits. Don't cherrypick the Bible. / |

InvertedHammer:The Bible doesnt say slaves but "servants". Your comment is very biased and looking for ways to juxtapose d fact. |

Trackango:/ When Nigerian Christians pray, they call on the God of Israel, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. What happened to their own God? Slavery is not only physical. God is in your essence. Not in a building. Not in any country in particular. But then, ignorance is bliss. / |

Righteousness89:For your no 5 answer, I disagree with you brother, when our leaders are doing the wrong thing we are supposed to call them to attention granted that freeze is extreme by using unnecessary insults in some cases. The berean Christians were complimented by Paul because they went back after every sermon to check what the preacher said and confirm it in the word and also ask questions. Many times our so called men of God scare people with their own ideas and doctrines which are not biblical and when they are corrected, other people scream thou shalt not touch my annointed and do my prophets no harm. Jesus called the pharisees and Sadducees hypocrites more than once in the Bible. |

3. How Is it to Be Distributed:Bro, you have actually contradicted yourself with some of the verses you referenced. See below and pay particular attention to the bold portions. Acts 4:34-37 “Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.” Acts 4:34-37 NKJV http://bible.com/114/act.4.34-37.nkjv Luke 17:22-25 “So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.” Luke 18:22-23 NKJV http://bible.com/114/luk.18.22-23.nkjv As you can see, those people gave ALL, not 10%. Jesus also said ALL. Why did they not only bring 10% or why did Jesus not ask the rich guy to only give 10% to the poor? The key to understand where tithing falls in our time is in the book of Hebrews; study that book and you will get the big picture. Now, to put a spin on the response above and show you another side of tithing you did not mention, consider the following verses from the Old Testament. Also, pay particular attention to the bold parts. “Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee: Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,” Deuteronomy 14:22-26 KJV http://bible.com/1/deu.14.22-26.kjv Did you read this: And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after? ![]() |

MrPRevailer:/ Good. You proved my point. We have KJV, NIV, NKJV, NASB, NEV, NLT versions of the Bible. As you read, you will notice the watered down worldly interpretation of the word of God to suit the era. Some use slaves for servants. But depending on your level of understanding and brainwashing, you are free to choose the version that rubs off you well. It boils down to "Human" interpretation. / |

CELEBRANT WEEPING Two years ago, JESUS' asked one question from me which I would like to share with you as you are preparing for Christmas. It was during Christmas celebration. The vision was very clear. JESUS' asked me, my son, assuming you were invited to a birthday party and you met the celebrant weeping, what would you do? I was shocked and could not answer, Celebrant weeping? JESUS' began to speak. I am the celebrant that you christians are celebrating my birthday every year. Each year, you increase my agony and tears during this Christmas celebrations because of your hypocrisy. Many of you don't even know me. The few that I can boast of are living lives of disobedient. Holiness among my children is now a taboo. Righteousness, Sanctification, restitution and other sound Biblical doctrines had disappeared among you and you still gather to eat food and sing sinful songs to me. Is that how to celebrate my birthday? Pastors are now spiritual 419.These so called pastors got power from Satan to do my work, yet you will see them gathering crowds to sing Carol. Why would I not weep.? Burying human beings on the alter, going about with charms. Is that what I instructed them to do ? Sleeping with church members is not a new thing among the so called ministers. All kinds of programs are organized by different churches with one purpose and agenda-to raise money. My son, there are mega churches, mega instruments and mega population without any disciple among the congregation. Are these not wasted efforts? Churches are building cathedrals everyday without candidates of heaven among the worshippers. Why are you celebrating my birthday when there is no unity and love among my children?Why are you celebrating my birthday when your worship centres are being guided by herbalists because of the mundane things inside the building? Are you saying I am powerless that I can't protect what belongs to me? unclothedness is more visible in my churches than club houses. My Son, Evangelism is dead and buried. What u are doing now is member snatching. Nobody is ready to go to fertile ground anymore. JESUS' said many things in that vision that I could not remember again.I've shared this revelation in my sermon and among my people. Are you among those people that are making JESUS' to weep every Christmas?Think about it. JESUS' is on his way already. You don't need to be told d happenings in Israel,Palestine and other places. I pray for everybody now,u and I will not miss rapture in the Name of JESUS'. COPIED AND SHARED |

johannu:/ They collect billions and use millions for charity with fanfare. Drug Lords make billions and use millions for charity as well. If the end justifies the means, why are drug Lords chastised? Christian charity in Nigeria is like lotto promotion where the companies earn billions from players and give away a car and refrigerators to winners. Each player only considers individual loss instead of collective losses to the scammers. Human mind! / |
