You are still repeating this lie?

1) Where in the Scriptures was it expressly stated that tithe changed from agro-produce to money?
2) Where in the Scriptures does it expressly mention that a change in the Law automatically meant that money replaced agro-produce as tithe?
3) Where in the Scriptures can we see Christians that practiced monetary tithing since according to you, Hebrews 7 v 12 changed the basis of tithing from agro-produce to money?

If you can't back this with anything evidence from the scriptures, then it is clear that this is your assumption...and not the facts on ground...

Ride on... we are awaiting your response.


First of all, do you think the Bible is like ABC where everything is spelt out for you? I just showed you a verse that states that the law changed as the priesthood changed. This means that the law that says agricultural produce is tithe has also been changed. Now, what can we say it changed into? Can we say it changed into stone? No, because stone cannot be used to run the house of God. Since everyone is not a farmer, especially when you can hardly find a farmer in many Churches today, what the priesthood authority changed the law form of tithing to is monetary tithing, that way everyone could participate.

It is that money that is used to fuel the big generators churches use, pay PHCN and waste management bills. They also pay Church workers from the money and even run other costs you might not know of. What you are saying is that churches should close down. Don't you know that churches will close down if there is no money coming in from tithes? All those in charge will leave and go get a job outside there you neglecting the work of God, which is exactly what Satan wants and has used people like you to propagate his mission.

If you are waiting to see a verse which specifically says money has replaced agricultural produce, then you will wait for all eternity until you start to read the Bible for deep knowledge.

While you are waiting, kindly show me where it is stated in a verse that Christians are to go to the toilet or use mobile phones.

Bobo stop saying what I didn't say. I never complained about 10%. My concern is 1. we should not call giving in this era tithe because they are different things. 2. It is very possible to give 100% if the Church is operating today like the early Church but you by yourself can you give 100% today. Honest answer please.

Na discussion.

If you believe I can't give 100%, then why are you still discouraging me from giving 10% which I can?

We can never stop calling tithe what it is. As long as no new Testament verse abolished it, then it remains. Trying to remove it is the same as trying to remove the word of God.

You see your problem? When God gives instructions, He is very clear on where money was needed and where agro-produce was needed.

Where money was needed to cater for the daily needs of the temple, God levied all Israelite males from the age of 20 and upwards half a shekel as annual temple tax. That was a clear instance of God asking for money this was stated in Exodus 30 v 13-16
Re: It Is Not The Law Of Moses But God Himself That Tells Us To Give First Fruit by OkCornel(m): 10:21am On Feb 05, 2019
When pro-tithers are ready to show us where God specifically mentioned money as part of the items to be tithed, then they should know that monetary tithing is unscriptural.




When God required money for the needs of the Temple, He specifically mentioned where all Israelite males should be levied a temple tax of half a shekel every year. That was an instance of God clearly asking for money.

Refer to Exodus 30 v 13-16 for where God gave the instruction through Moses;

13 This shall every man give, that goeth into the number, half a shekel, after the [a]shekel of the Sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs) the half shekel shall be an offering to the Lord.
14 All that are numbered from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the Lord.
15 The rich shall not pass, and the poor shall not diminish from half a shekel, when ye shall give an offering unto the Lord, for the redemption of your lives.
16 So thou shalt take the money of the redemption of the children of Israel, and shalt put it unto the use of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the Lord, for the redemption of your lives.


BASED ON THE ABOVE, IT WAS CLEAR WHEN GOD ASKED FOR MONEY TO MAINTAIN THE TEMPLE... NOW LET US EXAMINE GOD'S REQUIREMENT FOR TITHES

Refer to Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29;

22 Thou shalt give the tithe of all the increase of thy seed, that cometh forth of the field year by year.
23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God (in the place which he shall choose to cause his Name to dwell there) the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstborn of thy kine, and of thy sheep, that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.
24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is far from thee, where the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name, when the Lord thy God shall bless thee,
25 Then shalt thou make it in money, and take the money in thine hand, and go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose.
26 And thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thine heart desireth: whether it be ox, or sheep, or wine, or strong drink, or whatsoever thine heart desireth: and shalt eat it there before the Lord thy God, and rejoice, both thou, and thine household.

27 And the Levite that is within thy gates, shalt thou not forsake: for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee.
28 At the end of three years thou shalt [e]bring forth all the tithes of thine increase of the same year, and lay it up within thy gates.
29 Then the Levite shall come, because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, and shall eat, and be filled, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

Based on the above verses, God clearly mentioned what is titheable, and money was not part of the items to be tithed.

IN CONCLUSION:
So any fraudster that comes with the excuse that money was not in use because the Israelites were predominantly farmers and cattle rearers...should read Exodus 30 v 13-16 and explain to us why God demanded money from these same Israelites...but specified crops and livestock as tithes in Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29;



alBHAGDADI,

1) Where did God change the basis of tithe from agro-produce to money?

2) Where can we get scriptural references of Christians that gave monetary tithes?

Such people meet their devourer in some other way. When you tithed and had accident, did you die?

Do you mean Christians don't fall sick, get sacked or suffer one or two things? Tithe can help block such. If you fail to pay tithe, you or your child might fall sick and get hospitalized such that you will spend more than that amount at the hospital. Simply giving it to God would have prevented all that because he said he will rebukebthe devourer which makes you loose money anyhow.

They keep lying even at the face of open truth, do they mean that people that pay tithe and seeds etc are living in a different planet? They are not going through the daily stress that is reducing the life span of an average Nigerian?

Does it mean your people don't fall sick or die?

The question now is what happened after paying all the tithe.........etc?

I believe I was discussing with someone else who knows better. Go face your god that needs money to bless and protect his creation. Thank you.

alBHAGDADI:


The Bible passage you quoted is talking about money collected from people for the atonement of their souls. Was it everyday the money was collected? Also, are we to start collecting such just to run the house of God?

The money was collected annually. This practice continued after the Jews returned from exile under the stewardship of Nehemiah, although in his time, the levy was reduced to one-third of a shekel; refer to Nehemiah 10 v 32;

“We assume the responsibility for carrying out the commands to give a third of a shekel each year for the service of the house of our God"

This was the same temple tax Jesus/Peter paid for in Matthew 17 v 24-27.

Of course, the money was collected for the atonement of their souls, which also served as a critical source of financing the needs of the temple.









The summary of my gist is;

1) God's definition of tithe did not include money.

2) Where money was required to finance the needs of the Temple, there was a fixed levy on all Israelite males (aged 20 and above) to meet that purpose.

3) No where in the scriptures was there any requirement for Christians to tithe monetarily or via agro-produce...for the purpose of rebuking any devourer. That was a covenant applicable to the Judaizers.

4) The needs of the church was financed through freewill/cheerful giving.

5) If God has truly called one into ministry, He will touch the hearts of men to meet the needs of that minister. Money may or may not be required to meet such needs.

6) The emphasis on monetary tithes by Pastorprenuers clearly shows that they believe more in what money can do, rather than what God can do!


alBHAGDADI, what are the needs of the church that freewill/cheerful giving cannot address? Why the emphasis on monetary tithes and firstfruits which does not apply to Christians in the first place?

Then the author of Hebrews (whom I assume is Paul, a former zealous custodian of the Law) should have levied monetary tithes on early Christians. Can you show us where the Paul or the Apostles made such request of monetary tithes from Christians?

This is why it is good to do some extensive research so you don't come up with fallacies and assumptions that cannot be backed up by the scriptures;

Check out Matthew Henry's commentary on Hebrews 7 v 11-25... which includes verse 12 you're twisting to validate monetary tithes, which is a fallacy.

THE TRUE/CONTEXTUAL MEANING OF HEBREWS 7 V 11-25;

The priesthood and law by which perfection could not come, are done away; a Priest is risen, and a dispensation now set up, by which true believers may be made perfect. That there is such a change is plain.
The law which made the Levitical priesthood, showed that the priests were frail, dying creatures, not able to save their own lives, much less could they save the souls of those who came to them.
But the High Priest of our profession holds his office by the power of endless life in himself; not only to keep himself alive, but to give spiritual and eternal life to all who rely upon his sacrifice and intercession.

The better covenant, of which Jesus was the Surety, is not here contrasted with the covenant of works, by which every transgressor is shut up under the curse.
It is distinguished from the Sinai covenant with Israel, and the legal dispensation under which the church so long remained. The better covenant brought the church and every believer into clearer light, more perfect liberty, and more abundant privileges.
In the order of Aaron there was a multitude of priests, of high priests one after another; but in the priesthood of Christ there is only one and the same.
This is the believer's safety and happiness, that this everlasting High Priest is able to save to the uttermost, in all times, in all cases. Surely then it becomes us to desire a spirituality and holiness, as much beyond those of the Old Testament believers, as our advantages exceed theirs.

You are such a ridiculous person for telling me to take a certain Henry's commentary on a Bible passage over what the Holy Spirit says.

Is Henry now the Holy Spirit which Jesus said will teach and guide us into all things?

John 14:26 King James Version (KJV)
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Instead of you guys to accept Jesus Christ and believe he died for your sins and that nothing can ever make you lose your salvation, you instead reject him and believe you can save yourself by not sinning.

Rejecting Jesus means you won't have the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit you can't understand the Bible, that's why you rely on mere men to teach you, and they do so with falsehood.

1 Corinthians 2:14 King James Version (KJV)
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

RCCG is not God's house because they don't believe in Once Saved Always Saved. They preach works based salvation which is a fraud.

So, all those paying tithe to that church are only fooling themselves because the money is not getting to God.

If you bank with GTBank but I sent money to you through First Bank, are you going to receive it? No

All those people you mentioned above need to find God's Bank and pay their tithe there.

Regardless, people still die however. Are you saying Hod wasn't with Peter and Paul who were murdered?

Then the author of Hebrews (whom I assume is Paul, a former zealous custodian of the Law) should have levied monetary tithes on early Christians. Can you show us where the Paul or the Apostles made such request of monetary tithes from Christians?


Can you show me where Paul or the Apostles used mobile phones or went to the toilet?

Jesus and Paul spoke of tithe in a manner that didn't condemn it but approved it as something good. When they spoke of tithe as seen below, if it was something abolished, wasn't that a good opportunity for them to clearly state it? But they didn't. Yet you ordinary man wants to abolish what they didn't abolish.

Read

Hebrews 7:2
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

Matthew 23:23 King James Version (KJV)
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

You're the ridiculous person here!

Bring one commentary or footnote or scriptural reference the proves Hebrews 7 v 12 changed the object of tithes from agroproduce to money!

If you have no scripture to backup your empty claims then check out the lying spirit that has been ministering to you!



I'm backing it up with the Holy Spirit. If you can't accept that, then it's your cup of tea.

Keep relying on commentaries written by mere men, perhaps daddy Freeze is one of them. grin

And this your "Holy Spirit" cannot show you one scriptural reference where christians gave monetary tithes to prove your empty assumptions on Hebrews 7 v 12?

Keep up with the lies...even the Devil is learning...


And perhaps, all the commentaries written by "mere men" are 100% wrong, but you are 100% right abi? Oh wait a minute! The bible you're reading was written by God abi?

Check it, you're being delusional.


No scriptural reference to back up monetary tithes vis-a-vis Hebrews 7 v 12; and you're lying ontop of the Holy Spirit all because of money...
Well done... Heaven and Earth is bearing record of this blasphemy...

Next time, open your eyes and read.

Hebrews 7 v 2 mentions Abram (who lived before the era of the Law) tithing voluntarily out of war booty, and not his monetary income or possessions. Tell us how a once in a lifetime tithe from war booty should serve as basis to part with a tenth of one's monetary income!

Matthew 23 v 23 mentions tithe of mint, anise and cummin. Does that sound like money to you?

RCCG is not God's house because they don't believe in Once Saved Always Saved. They preach works based salvation which is a fraud.

So, all those paying tithe to that church are only fooling themselves because the money is not getting to God.

If you bank with GTBank but I sent money to you through First Bank, are you going to receive it? No

All those people you mentioned above need to find God's Bank and pay their tithe there.

Regardless, people still die however. Are you saying Hod wasn't with Peter and Paul who were murdered?

That dude has lost it. Check out the lies he has been propagating on nairaland just to defend the tithe and firstfruit falsehood;

1) Pastors are Spiritual Levites

2) The tree of knowledge of good and evil is Adam and Eve's tithe

3) Hebrews 7 v 12 means that a change in the Law automatically means that tithe changed from agro-produce to money...

And some other lies he cannot back up with the scriptures...

I don't blame him, it's just the wickedness of man, when you hear what people do for money, cases where you hear people being buried alive just to pull crowd, such people can do anything to defend these evil knowingly or unknowingly because they are under a spell. I pray God will save us from these evil men. cry cry

Do you think Abraham did what he did without being told?

All what Abraham did were by faith in God. He heard the voice of God telling him to do what he did.

Genesis 26:5
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

Now, how do we know what God's laws, statutes and commandments Abraham obeyed? We know all of that by reading the things Abraham did in the book of Genesis. Tithing is one of them.

The spoils of war is not a bad property because there is no law in the Bible against such.

Read Hebrews 7 to see how Paul spoke of how the law changed especially concerning tithe. That's how it changed into money.

Let me prove to you why you don't understand all I stated up there.

First answer the questions:

Do you believe Jesus died for your sins?

If you did now, why do you think you might not make heaven?

The answer to those questions will show why you don't understand what I stated up there.

Oh... so Paul mentioned that Christians should tithe monetarily? Where exactly did Paul mention that? And where can we get biblical examples of Christians that gave monetary tithes?
