Christianity EtcRe: Who Says Tithing Is Not New Testamental? by Tonyet1(op): 3:56pm On Jan 13, 2010

Baby tonye-tithe, put a sock in it while the elders discuss lipsrsealed


With all tonye-tithe's Greek, Aramaic, Yiddish, Hebrew language skills, he still can't find that JESUS FULFILLED the LAWhuh

ful·fill also ful·fil (fl-fl)
tr.v. ful·filled, ful·fill·ing, ful·fills also ful·fils
1. To bring into actuality; effect: fulfilled their promises.
2. To carry out (an order, for example).
3. To measure up to; satisfy. See Synonyms at perform, satisfy.
4. To bring to an end; complete.

I asked this question in another tithe thread and non of them could provide a simple answer so I ask them again while Tonye is still in Greece: Is a German Christian (who has to pay an average of 9% of his income tax automatically deducted as tithe) still has to pay 10% to a "Church", MOG, Pastor?

No wonder this is the only kind of business that grows in Nigeria apart from politics these days.


God help us all and save each and every one of his Children from these PIMPS, Amen.

Tonye: Jesus came to fulfill the Law of Moses and the prophets

Ogajim: really

Tonye: So you dont know?

Ogajim: i thought the Law of God was the same as the Law of Moses

Tonye: *laffing* you must be a bush man for thinking such

Ogajim: tonye no vex na

Tonye: Ogajim was it ever mentioned any where that tithing was a LAW

Ogajim: eeehmmmm i m thinking, ok but i thought some of my colleagues said, Jesus called it a law

Tonye: Can you show me plainly where Jesus said so?

Ogajim: i think i saw where someone quoted Matt.23:23 - that the pharisees tithed according to the law

Tonye: silly, so did Jesus call Tithing a Law there, or He said they gave tithing according to the provisions of the Mosaic law

Ogajim: Dont they mean the same thing? undecided lipsrsealed

Tonye: *laffing my lungs out*

Ogajim: tonye why the laffing now?

Tonye: Becos you are too desperate to defend what you barely even know about, come up and tell us all what you know about tithing and why you feel it is irrelevant. pls with biblical references else you join zikkyy to do the clapping

Ogajim: Ok i'll post when i get something.


Till date we'all are still waiting for this dude to spew some more fallasies. yet forming dumb and claiming distracted.

Tithe-Trumper, abeg now. All this your convoluted reasoning and implausible unscriptural assertions dey give person headache. Surely you occupy the space where religionist and bureaucrat merge in perfect synthesis. Bro' Donnie of CE has been usurped!

Re-interprete, re-word, re-assign, or re-ascribe all you like. Speak Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew and assorted languages of antiquity, you will not prevail. Gods truth on Christ Jesus will keep His people free. 1 Corinthians 7:23 - You are bought with a price; be not you the servants of men.

Take their time by making them attend endless "church" functions and attend to "church" business. Fraudulently take their money with bogus applications of tithing and offering scriptures. Take thier allegiance by making them become "members" and submitting to the MOG, Gods people will be freed from the likes of you.

[size=18pt]You've been outed already[/size]. Ioften thought you were at least sincere - if misguided - but your sly attempt to buttress your position by wilfully mis-applying Greek/Aramaic leaves you unclothed - and I hope ashamed. You are not the first to attempt that and for almost the same cause if I recall.

God bless & keep His own

I thought i heard someone say so while the thread was barely 48hrs old. Not you nor your biased folks can stand the truth from God's word.

1. You do not even know the differences between God's law and the Mosaic law. Yet you've spewed over 900 posts already

2. Biased and religious extremist like you type would go any length to label someone name as was did the Christ, some called Him glutton because he ate more, John would not eat they called him demon possessed. yet they barely know nothing to say.

3. Whether you call yourself TV or Radio, i challenge you to come up and tell us all you know about Tithing or else your resume to your babysitting class. tongue tongue

you really have a long way to go, did you say the law of God is written in our hearts, hmmm interesting. simply show how pathetic you understand simple terms. i stated it clear what the term LAW is, the best you can do is check your dictionary(s) and post otherwise. i wrote it up there that the LAW could be a written document or rule. i mm sure he didnt even read it there when they seem so desperate yet so dump to butress their points. tongue tongue
Christianity EtcRe: The Unforgivable Sin by Tonyet1(m): 2:56pm On Jan 13, 2010
aletheia:
Your interpretation of the scripture is faulty. If I may ask Tonye-t: what specific [/b]sin can I commit that will not lead to death?
1. Eze 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death;
2. 1 Jn 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
Is this an apparent contradiction? I believe not. We should look to the scriptures to reconcile this seemingly different positions rather than speculate.

Look at 1 Jn 5:18, the verse that follows; We know that whosoever is born of God [b]sinneth not;
but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
It's always a dangerous thing to treat verses in isolation and not in context.
Let's look at some other verses:
3. Jas 1:14-15 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
So you see all sin leads to death unless one repents and forsakes it.

My opinion is that the sin that leads to death is the one that has not been repented of and forsaken. The key scripture for me:
Heb 10:26-29 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Do you see that verse 26 begins with the words "For if we sin willfully. . ."
Also consider:
Heb 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

And lastly
2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
The way at which we rush in responding to post here really gets me scared atimes and wonder if its really worth responding to threads at all.

The question you asked has already been answered by even the OP.

If you stand up here to say all sins can be forgiven then it means you barely even read the OP not to talk about the Bible itself.

Jesus said in Matt.12:31 -"And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.


By reason of the scriptures I still stand to say that not ALL SINS CAN BE FORGIVEN. whether forgiveness is sought after or not. Moses publicly denied the power of the SPIRIT OF GOD in the Rivers of Meribah before the nation of Israel and right there God told Moses of the punishment he would receive for his sinful act. The same bible said Moses sought for forgiveness and God rebuked him not ask any more for forgiveness. Eventually He payed the price for his sinful act because He sinned not against the Father but against the SPIRIT OF GOD as scriptures said it in Ps.106:33.(Num.20:12-13, Deut.3:23, 26)

That aside, we must also realize that there are still other sins that can and will be forgiven and of such, the Teacher John made it clear when he said in 1 John 5:16


16 If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death.

_____________________________________________________________________________

1John.5:16

For There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that.
NIV


So Aletheia do you mean to tell me this sin can be prayed for?
Christianity EtcRe: What Are The Wages Of Sin? by Tonyet1(m): 2:16pm On Jan 13, 2010

All sins [murder, ethnic cleansing etc] will be forgiven but He who blasphemes against the Holy spirit will not be forgiven. I didnt say so, the scriptures did.

Well that is in your own opinion. But according to the gospel, the bible said all soul that sinneth shall die.
Prince, why is this too hard to understand. The bible does not contradict itself.

In one portion of the bible it says:


* The soul that sins shall die (Ezk.18:4), which is the same as The wages of sin is death (Rom.6:23)[/color]

[color=#000099]Yet in 1John.5:17 it tells us that:


* All wrongdoing is a sin, but there is a sin that does not lead to death (1Joh.5:17)

Put them together and you'll get this

[color=#505050]* All wrongdoing is a sin, However not all the sins will lead one to death, but anyone who sins a sin that is deserving of death will die*[/color]

Christianity EtcRe: That Ungodly, Unholy Book In The Bible Called 'Songs Of Solomon' by Tonyet1(m): 11:40am On Jan 13, 2010
We read the book of Esther, a book in which the name "God" was never mentioned yet it illustrates the ominpotent attributes of God in influencing people's mind to favour another.Scholars say the book was written for the purpose of festivity thus calendric yet we read and draw inspirations daily.

I think the same applies to the book SOS, Yeah the book was not authored with the intentions of showing one's affections with God but with a woman, but then God speaks thru' just about anything.

According to Jewish tradition, the book is an allegory of God's love for the Children of Israel. In keeping with this understanding, it is read by Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews on Sabbath eve, to symbolize the love between the Jewish People and God that is also represented by Sabbath till date.

Most traditional Jews also read the Song on the Sabbath of Passover, or on the seventh day of the holiday, when the Song of the sea is also read.

Jesoul, did u say unholy, hmmm beginning to make me feel like love & se.x are unholy things. undecided

Ask them they'll say [U] THEY BELIEVE IT ISNT RELEVANT ANYMORE[/U] ok prove it!? they form dump. what sort of folks are these i wonder. If you're bold enuff then dont do any copy and paste from the internet but comeup and give a tentative evidence and case as to your claim. simple!

Zikkyy since you've resorted to accusing someone a thief simply because he fails to see it your way means i think u r beginning to run out of ideas and as far as i am concerned you dont have any case here again, you have plainly accepted "that tithing is still relevant which is what the topic / thread is all about" maybe you'll wait until we open another thread tagged SHOULD TITHING BE COMPULSORY OR FREEWILL but until then, i'll apprecaite you stay out in the crowd and clap while goals are scored by the players. cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Christians were given a different instruction when it comes to giving. 2 corinthians 9:7 is what christian giving/ offerings is based on. Note that the epistle of corinthians was written to gentiles and not jews.
A different instruction ! shocked shocked hmmmm, interesting i say, Kunle do you really read the bible at all, Men its a pity! *shakes head* must i spoon feed you to every extent.

Kunle, you see why i said when one is too desperate, one can really spew rubbish, Maybe henceforth we all should only read Pauls writtens and leave out the teachings of Jesus that he spoke to the Jews thru' the 4 gospels afterall Paul was the only one who wrote to the gentiles and not Jesus nor Peter. Kunle i weep for you!

KunleOshob:
romans 10:4 makes it crystal clear that christ brought the law to an end.
Hebrews 7: 5-19 was very precise in it's anullment of tithes and it further described it has a weak useless and unprofitable practise tongue

Another lie! what is the diffrence between moses laws and God's laws?
Which of the Law i ask you, was it the LAW OF GOD,or the LAW OF MOSES. because if you say you dont know the differences of the two laws and how they affect scriptures then i must refrain from responding to your baseless posts. Well for the benefit of others reading, i'll explain it here like i have done several times on this thread.

When one say the Law of God, it simply means a written document/ rule that covers all the guidelines, precepts, ordinances, commandments and instructions as given by God. Adam do not eat from this tree, for the day you do you'll die is a Instruction from God thus a LAW from GOD. Abraham walk before me in obedience and i'll establish my covenant with you is guideline! Thou shalt not steal is a commandment. All this and many more make up the LAWS of GOD. Now for someone to say that Jesus christ came to abolish/put an end to this LAW is like such a person is simply saying Jesus came to abolish the word "thou shalt not steal" and if it is truly abolished like Kunle is ascerting then it means i can go and start stealing and if asked why, i'll say Kunle said Jesus has abolished the law of stealing therefore i m stealing. Now ask yourself pls isnt this notion pathetic? How does it sound to hear this "JESUS CAME TO PUT AN END TO GOD AND HIS LAWS" doenst it sound stupid!

Whereas the LAW of MOSES otherwise called the MOSAIC LAWS were the guidelines, precepts, ordinances, commandments and instructions Moses gave to the nation of Israel. Apostle Paul in one of his writings clearly stated that the nation of Israel were all baptized into Moses (the Law of Moses) 1cor.10:2, what were the laws, the law of leprosy and the Leprous, the law of heave offering, the law of burnt offerings, the law for the slave, stranger and widow, the law of manslaughter, the law of murder, the law of body fluid/ discharges and so on and so forth. Now what made this law very outrageous was the fact that it came with punishments of death or mean sentences which were otherswise reckoned as deaths.

This was what Jesus came to put an end to, that's why the scriptures said in parentheisis that Jesus died that we might be free from the curses of the Law (the law of Moses).
Christianity EtcRe: Who Says Tithing Is Not New Testamental? by Tonyet1(op): 10:38am On Jan 13, 2010
KunleOshob:
Is that not true huh was he not addressing pharisees who were under the law?(Mtt.23:23) And was it not mint and cumin they were tithing contrary to income crooks preach today.
Kunle,If you're the one saying this then i must say you have a long way to go because your ascertion is too immature a christian of your type.

1. So you mean to tell us that because He spoke to the Pharisees there, meant it doesnt apply to us? so what about the time he spoke to Nicodemus (The pharisee) about the Kingdom of God, should we also say it doesnt apply to us afterall He was speaking to a PHARISEES like you're saying.

Or do you also mean to tell me that while He was speaking to the Samaritan woman at the well about salvation it meant that story was for only Samaritans and no other afterall He was speaking to a SAMARITAN like you're saying

Or what about the Centurion Soldier or even worst of all Zacchaeus (the tax collector), so you are saying that we should not draw spiritual lessons from these stories simply because He was speaking to A SOLDIER and A TAX COLLECTOR.

I now wonder who the HYPOCRITE really is, they take in the words that sooth them and spew that which rebukes them, all still yet from the WORD OF GOD. Kunle, just incase you don’t knowor might have forgotten, its said in God’s word THAT ALL SCRIPTURES ARE GIVEN BY GOD including Matt.23:23 and they are profitable for our correction and learning. You’re too desperate a folk!
Christianity EtcRe: Who Says Tithing Is Not New Testamental? by Tonyet1(op): 9:55am On Jan 13, 2010
KunleOshob:
You know very well that matthew 23:23 stated that tithing was part of the law, likewise Hebrew 7:5
hmmm KunleOshob, is that so, so what happened to the tithing Abraham gave, was it part of the law. you really seem too desperate and thus confused with your misinterpretations.

I'll leave this for others here to judge accordingly


Matt.23:23 - "woe to you pharisees and teachers of the law, for you give tenth of your spices according to the law"

Pls i beckon of fellow NLs to judge this grammar without biases, did Jesus call Tithe law here. because in my own little understanding, it means He was rebuking them of religiously giving their TITHE simply according to the provisions of the law, that still doesnt mean TITHING was a LAW. NA WA OH. kunleOshob you really need help cheesy cheesy.

The law was a written document that simply provided how the ancient custom was to be practised by the nation of Israel. Because the mode of tithing in Abraham's time was different from that of the nation of Israel.

Abraham gave a tenth of ALL, the nation of Israel gave a tenth of their land produce. Meaning if we were to follow the original tithing then we should give tithe of EVERYTHING, but if we were to follow the Israelites mode, then we were to only give Farm produce.

Kunle, Jesus said "they gave TITHE according to the LAW, he did not say "they gave TITHE which was a LAW"

You are too desperate and its so glaring! smiley smiley smiley


Pls lets not handle this topic as if we want to win any warfare lest we might lose out from the essence of learning. cool cool
Christianity EtcRe: Who Says Tithing Is Not New Testamental? by Tonyet1(op): 10:32am On Jan 12, 2010
1. I asked them if tithing was a law, no one could answer me

2. I asked again what they understood from the 23rd verse of Matthew 23, which said, practise mercy, practise faithfulness, practise justice and also do not neglect to practise tithing. And all they could say was that Christ made this statement while he was still in the law, and as such isnt useful since he died to abolish the law.h.mmm really

3. I asked them again, ok you said Christ abolished the law and so also abolished tithing. hmmm then prove it? and they formed dump

4. I asked them to show me where it was explicitly stated in the NT that tithing was abolished, not Law since none could prove it was a law, and all they could do was show me that law was abolished. The question is "Is tithing a law?"

5. I even showed them plainly with scriptures that the fulfilled law was only the law of Moses and not God's law. And all they could do was act as though they never saw the scriptural passages.

6. They said since we arent levites, we should not collect tithes, i asked them, ok, so since we arent Jews, we should not also give offerings.afterall it stated with them (Jews) And they called me Tonye-thief

7. I told them Abraham who had the first account of a tither in the biblos tithed to a Priest not to a widow, and they said i am a rogue, that they prefer tithing to the widows and orphans. ok lets see

8. I asked them to show me where it was justified to give once tithe to widows, afterall in the OT the tithes were given to the priests and levites who then distributed it to the people. They rather claimed they had right to do whatever with their moneys. ok

9. The most pitiful, was their claim that tithing was simply a voluntary act thus a freewill offering, i said ok, wont it be better you show me where it was explicitly stated that tithing meant the same thing as freewill offering. simply show us passages and stop calling names like thief, heretic, rogue, scammer. A matured christain will rather show clear passages from the biblos and shun critics.

10. They said since Paul never taught it, meant it wasnt useful. i showed them NT passages of Paul which butresses the Ancestral custom.

11. The most appauling was that they said tithing doesnt guarantee once blessings, i said hmmm interesting claim. prove it at least i have done mine severally.

God help NL xtians including me in Jesus name. Amen!
Christianity EtcRe: The Unforgivable Sin by Tonyet1(m): 9:48am On Jan 12, 2010
princekevo:
Please sir, how how can you make it to heaven when you have a sin as unforgiveable?
Prince,

Let me start by saying that if we'll be judged by our sins on that day, then no one is guaranteed of making it to heaven. In my opinion i still believe that part of God's parameter for judgement is how we relate to one another, and how much we believe in the Son of Redemption and not the number of sins we committed nor the number of times we asked for forgiveness. For God's ways are not like ours.

Have you ever thought of this? How did the notorious thief on the cross get his way thru' to heaven. Luke 23:43 - "And he said to Jesus, remember me when you goeth to your Kingdom" (Recall he never asked for any such thing as forgiveness neither did he pray the "SINNERS PRAYER"wink.And vs.44, Jesus said "today you'll be with me in paradise" as simple as that.

Its always the customs of humans to judge by what we see, while God searches the deep things of the heart and judges it. The Adultress was caught in the act, to the humans the best way to judge her was to stone her to death (afterall some will say that "the wages of Sin is death"wink, but to Christ, he did the otherwise (He said, i do not condemn you, go and sin no more, for it was if she had sinned willfully again that there would have remained no more sacrifice for sins which was the passage i quoted and you misunderstood).

I think its only right to understand that not all sins we commit will result to eternal death, Read this


1 John 5:16-17

16 If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that.

17 All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. (NIV)


I'll be more than willing to hear from you. Thanx

Ovamboland:
See below wikipedia's position on tithing practice

there it is, tithing was not a recognised practice in Christianity until AD787 , about 700 years after the last Apostle must have died, sorry all those seeing revelation and receiving word of knowlrdge on the necessity to tithe.

From the bold above many gods have also demanded tithes of the people, what a class to place the God of gods, old habits die hard, no wonder Hebrews 7 described tithing as a useless practice, even pagans do it to their gods
Is dat all you can say about the topic ? *shakes head*

ifyalways:
. . . As long as you repent and confess,NO sin is unforgivable !
Brother i beg to disagree with you on this, I believe some sins are unforgiveable as was the case of Moses with the Spirit of God

Moses' case against the Holy Spirit:

Ps 106:

32 By the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD,and trouble came to Moses because of them;

33 for they rebelled against the Spirit of God(Holy Spirit),and rash words came from Moses' lips.NIV


Moses' offense:

Num.20:12-13 - But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me

enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites,
you will not bring this community into the land I give them.", 13. This were the waters of Meribah



Moses' plead:

Deut 3:23 At that time I pleaded with the LORD. . . Let me go over and see the good land beyond

the Jordan — that fine hill country and Lebanon."



The unforgiven Sin:

26 But because of you the LORD was angry with me  angry and would not listen to me. "That

is enough," the LORD said. "Do not speak to me anymore about this matter.


I just thought if this might also help

Hebrews 10:26-29: “For we — sinning wilfully [against the Holy spirit] without compulsion [conscience] after receiving the full

knowledge of the truth [given by God's spirit], there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.
CareerRe: How Important Is It To Be On Your Own? by Tonyet1(m): 12:33pm On Jan 08, 2010
Owning your own business is a dream come true for many – and there are plenty of benefits that go along with being your own boss.

One of the best advantages – and the one we probably don’t even have to mention! – is that going into business for yourself means being your own boss. There’s nobody looking over your shoulder or telling you what to do. Gone are the traditional office politics and cubicle living, and in their place is the freedom to make the decisions you alone believe are best for the growth and success of your business.

Another great benefit to owning your own business is the number of options open to you as a potential business owner. In this rough economy, many potential business owners are looking to franchising as a great way to achieve business ownership while benefiting from the proven business model, infrastructure and support of an established brand.

We’ve all heard of restaurant franchising, but what kind of franchise is a good bet when the economy is down? People aren’t going out as much. What’s a great business people are going to turn to year after year?

Did you know that you could be a successful business owner working only 17 weeks season in the tax preparation franchise industry? That’s right, just 17 weeks!

This seasonal schedule and flexibility allow tax industry franchisees to enjoy the rest of the year pursuing other interests. Spend more time with your family, take that trip around the world you always wanted… or even build another business! Click here to learn more about becoming a tax industry franchisee.

Owning your own business also makes you a vital part of the community where you live, work and play. Did you know that, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses create two of every three new jobs, produce 39% of the gross national product, and invent more than half the nation’s technological innovations? Imagine the possibilities and contributions you could make to your community!

Another advantage of business ownership is the ability to control your own destiny. Large corporations can be adverse to change, while owning your own business can give you ability to make rapid decisions and implement course corrections when the economy dictates. In the ocean of business, mega-corporations turn like tankers, while small businesses have the speed and agility of a speedboat – something very important in our current economic climate.

Let’s face it – as an employee you can dedicate years of your life to a company only to find yourself out of a job because of some dumb move made by the guys at the top. A recession, management changes, mergers, acquisitions, downsizing and outsourcing all have a tendency to force sudden and unexpected change. However, if you own your own business, you’ll be facing today’s competition and change on your own terms.

We are not complaining. . Ask yourself if everyone behave like you, will the gospel ever reach africa?.While some of you are still arguing over Ten percent to God others are giving all for the gospel. I don't give ten percent as tithe , I feel it's too small I give twenty or sometimes thirty percent. The inventor of Caterpiller machines attributed his success to his tithting. He started with 10% and later 20% before he died he was giving 90%! and only kept 10% for him self and this 10% was in billions! .These are men that were involved in sponsoring bibles all over the world. Let the the poor men be busy attacking the churches ,spend your whole day in business centres typing rubish . Campaingning for other poor people. There's no amount of money you give a poor man that will suffice. It is the gospel that will help the poor and THE POOR MUST GIVE TO GET OUT OF POVERTY!. Anybody busy doing something will not have time to criticise those who are busy.
God, this guy was born in Heaven cheesy cheesy cheesy . wonderful! shocked shocked shocked shocked

Tithing and offering may not be right for those who are perishing to pay or give because the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Him.
Exactly!!!

The issue is not whether tithing can be found in the bible, for me its all about how you interprete and implement that practice for modern christians. I consider it an issue when it is interpreted to serve the purpose of a particular group at the expense of others. What i see is a lot of people accepting this because it aligns with their personal goals. But i think it will be wrong to pretend there is no problem.
Just how will you react to the offering they collect from their sheep? *much ado about nothing*

Anyways, from all i ve read in this forum, i will suggest we all do according to our personal convictions, if u are comfortable with tithing, go ahead and tithe, if u are not, don't, until u receive it in your spirit to cos if u give tithes without being convinced or even know the reason y u do it, then i must say u are wasting that income atlst the blessing attached to it (it will just be like a man left in a darkroom and does not knw that he is to look for the door to be free). smiley

If your rendering a tenth of your income to your church was with a genuine belief that you are promoting the work of God, you can be blessed for it (cos you were sincere, its the heart that matters), its no different from the man that decide to give his 10% to the window or orphan next door. Both intentions are Godly.
No!No! No!, they both mean different things, pls be kind to read this and correct me where possible

Tithe – can it be substituted for freewill offering?

Often atimes I hear people talk of choosing rather to give to the poor than give the church their due benevolence. Let’s see how the scriptures answer this one,

Matt 26:6-13

6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper,
7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked. ---------This is where folks like Kunle, Zikkyy and ttalks stand

9 "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor." -----Again this is where Kunle,Zikky and ttalks stands

10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. -----This is where I stand

11 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.


With this passages I will class the so called-righteous Christians into verse 9,for they’ll rather chose to give to the poor and widows their offerings than give to the church, howbeit Jesus’ reply to them in verse 10 will forever remain supreme.

Therefore let us give to God what is due God (Matt. 22:21), give to Caesar (beggars, poor, widows) what belong to them. In the Old Testament administrative tithing, Moses’ commanded them to set aside the tithes in the 3rd year and give specifically unto the strangers, widows and orphans. Simple!.

An error it will be to try substituting the one for the other. Let freewill offering be given as freewill offering, and tithe be given as tithe, they have different names thus serve different purposes
