Alwaystrue: @ Swtchicgurl,
I believe the whole of Jesus Christ is important.

His Life which is the way, truth, light and life still.
His Death that sealed His testament and is the sacrifice for sin blotting away transgressions
His Resurrection which is the manifestation of Eternal Life in full.

Afterall the bible says if Jesus did not resurrect our faith is in vain. I Cor. 15:14

Thank you for the other scriptures. Very enlightening.

Pastor Kun: I remain convinced that this mko character is a professional merchandizer of the gospel or why else would he go to the extents he does to twist scripture.

@mko
Going by your daft logic that Melchizedek is Jesus just because the bible says there is no record of his death. Would you now going by your twisted mind say that Enoch and Elijah are also Jesus since they recorded never to have died but taken up to heaven directly.

Pastor Kun: There no such thing called 'Melchizedek order of tithing' stop inventing terminologies to defraud people.

Pastor Kun: This most be the daftest twisted 'logic' that I have ever read on nairaland, can't believe an educated person wrote this

chukwudi44: You don't mean it? Men of God with private jets indeed!! Do they pay tithes or are tithes paid to them? I thought it was the people paying tithes that were supposed to blessed but it seems it is only those who receive tithes that the blessings fall on.SMH for magas

You know why I laughed at the bolded? I got the exact reaction I expected when I wrote 'private jets'.

Some men of God pay tithe.

Believe it or not, you may not know this, some pastors are enterpreneurs and yet full-time.

There's something about 'tithes and pastors' that irritates many of you. But I really can't blame you because it has been abused in the past. so i understand your frustration.

GIve to God. There's a place of giving to the poor, giving to the needy, giving to widows, giving to men of God....you can't substitute one for the other.

There's a place of offering, tithe, seed etc...you can't substitute one for the other.

God said we shouldn't rob him in tithe and offerings. You like the offering part but frown at the tithe part! Na wa o!

Someone earlier described offering as 'collection' in bible days!

And yes, feel free to call me 'maga', i love to be called that. Infact some other people call it 'fools for Christ.'

chukwudi44: Abeg tell me something!! How come Non-tithers like Dangote,Bill gates and Adenuga are far richer than them? Who among the world's richest people even pay tithes? I wonder what happened to all the riches promised to tithers

I can't believe I'm reading this!!!

What about the men of God that have jets that you people criticize?!

Why should a christian 'flaunt' his wealth?!

What is it about money that you guys can't take your eyes off?!

May God help us ooooooooo!

debosky: What are the consequences of not tithing?

“Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.

“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’

“In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.

chukwudi44: So Adenuga,Dangote,Bill gates e.t.c pay tithes abi? How come pentecostal xtians who are more 'faithful' with tithes are not the most succesful people in the world? SMH for some people

Who told you pentecostal christians aren't successful?

After you all will start complaining that 'successful pentecostals' are not helping the needy in the society, that they prefer to use their money to meet their own needs!

How can one satisfy men?! You get money, them go talk, you no get money, them go ask question!

Take note, it's not all about money.

By God's grace and His mercy, I am a living testimony of a successful Tither!

Mark Miwerds: All [/b]who teach their members to tithe their money have "abused tithe". God said in His Holy Word that His tithe consisted of [b]crops, flocks, and herds.

Man teaches that God requires a monetary tithe with no Scripture whatsoever to support his claim.

Monetary tithe requirement teachers "abuse tithe" whether they buy fancy homes, cars and jets... or not!

swtchicgurl: The fact that you're 'doing well' at work, home etc, does not mean the consequences of NOT tithing won't play its way out (this is not a threat, it's a guarantee). But that's a discussion for another day.

The whole idea of TITHING simply expresses your faith and love for God. The fact that some 'people' have abused tithe in some churches does not mean that God's standards have changed.

Show me a man who does not tithe and I will show you a man who has put his sight on man's errors other than God's standards.

Many of us are looking God's hands instead of looking on His face. Many of us are listening to the rythm of bad news instead of listening to God's heartbeat.

Wow! I've been away for too long....This is a very interesting thread!

@Alwaystrue and other tithe supporters, God bless your effort. I've read every single page until now.

In another thread, these questions were asked:

a) the children of Israel were required to pay God's Holy tithe, not Gentiles (Leviticus 27)
b) God's Holy tithe was to be given to the Levites, not pastors living in other countries (Numbers 18)
c) the tithe was crops and livestock, not money (Leviticus 27)
d) there were two tithes a year (not 26, not 52) every 1st, 2nd, 4th & 5th year in a seven year cycle (Leviticus 27; Deuteronomy 14)
e) there were three tithes every 3rd & 6th year (Leviticus 27; Deuteronomy 14)
f) only the Levites could bring tithes to the Temple storehouse (Nehemiah 10)
g) The feast tithe was to be eaten by the tither, his family, and the Levites in the place God chose (Deuteronomy 14)
h) the poor tithe was kept on the tither's property to feed widows, orphans, Levites, and refugees (Deuteronomy 14)
i) those who received God's Holy tithe could not own land.
j) every seventh year in a seven year cycle, the land was to rest. this means no harvesting, nor planting. no land tithe was possible.
k) The poor were not required to tithe, but rather were to recieve tithes (Deuteronomy 12; 14)

bizz: really do n how did u ***

time will tell, just pay attention to details

Goshen360: I can't email you in private because my email account was closed\blocked. I don't know the reason. Maybe na because I no pay tithe

Goshen360: @ OP,

Where art thou? I'm warming up o. I have at least 10 scriptures showing exactly how and where tithe is abolished for Christians.

Goshen360: Ah, I will go mountain of Fire and Miracles ni yen o. In fact, na deliveranceS I need because Holy Spirit\anointing Christ had given me is cohabiting with demons. I even heard one new one is raining in naija now, they are more dangerous than MFM, wetin be that there name sef?

Goshen360: The church today is polluted and needs clean up. There's nothing, absolutely nothing called tithe and offerings to the early and Apostolic church.

The bible didn't 'suggest', it teaches 'an end' to tithing FOR CHRISTIANS.

We can go through it step-by-step but you must be prepared to answer to a lot of questioning and we can reason and fellowship together SO I CAN WORK YOU THROUGH where tithing ended for Christians.

DrummaBoy: That's exactly the point, Goshen, is the OP ready to learn or is this thread another means to cast aspersion on those who do no tithe.

bizz: is there?

Alwaystrue: Malachi 3:8
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In TITHES AND OFFERINGS

Funny how people see nothing wrong with giving their offerings in church and believe they are giving it to God but feel the Tithe is going to man.
Really we now understand what the bible says about Faith.

They have faith to give offerings to God but cannot undertstand how the tithe is also for God. Yet God said TITHES and OFFERINGS. Without faith it is truly impossible to please God.

The goal is to first give ourselves to God and then we can give God everything but it is hypocritical to believe our 100% belongs to God but 'strain at a gnat' on giving out of it. The Lord knows those that are His.

onegig: No wahala. Didn't say you shouldn't . Just thinking out loud. You are an adult.

bizz: yes ....so who's u

bizz: wtf...? How?

Bombaybombay: Yea ma i am, and i pray, wake up at night sometimes to pray for my home

Bombaybombay: I was crying while writing so ignore d mistakes.

Bombaybombay: Many times writing helps calm my spirit down. I am sad, heartbroken and unhappy.
Here is why.
I picked his phone dis morning,i do once a while. And i saw his chat with dis gurl. Dis gurl's chat i av always followed up cos i wasnt sure they r just friends. Its either he is asking her to call him, or asking really deep questions of eachother. Now 2day, i saw him saying he misses her but hard to say, or he wants to see her nd d worse, "my P is doing geezgeez as am chatting with you". I tried to confront him and ask him what kind of chat that was eventhough am nt sure it was d right thing to do. B4 i knee it he has twisted everything b4 me. Saying did i catch him cheating. Dat i dont av a point. And i rem d last time i saw his chat with this i asked him y they where dat close, he said shez his padi.
He is ere acting as if he did nutting wrong nt a single word of apology, he isnt sober. Am shedding tears nw nt even becos of what he did cos i know dats just a tip of d iceberg. But am sad now cos of d way am bin ignored by him. This same man i make love to like a LovePeddler just to keep him. I do all, i submit. Anyone would advice me not to leave my marriage cos of this, but right now i dont feel respectedaor loved, instead bin apologised to am blamed for picking his phone. How would i pass my message across that am sad, i av cried in front of him he ignored me bluntly.

bizz: Uwc
