Religion / Re: Are Nigerian Pastors More Of Scammers Than Men Of God? by westbright: 6:57pm On Dec 09, 2012 |
Zodiac61: bro, your questions at first raises an eye brows. but this one you are now daring God is so wrong. please pray to Him for forgiveness as He is a merciful God. i certainly joined you in condemning the way the Nigeria pastors are extorting money from the poor Nigerians which i see as ignorance from their congregation because they do not educate themselves by spending time reading the bible. truly, tithing was part of the Leviticus laws to the old testament Jewish Israelite. they are to give a tithe offering to the priest because that was made to be their portion by God. there is no such commandment for the new testament christian. christian are to share love with each other, identifying those who are poor by ministering arms to meet their needs- Cornelius was a practical example, the book of acts shared that the Angel of God instruct Cornelius to go and meet one called Simon peter to pray for him because God has answered his prayer. the bible said he spend time praying and giving arms to the poor. paul collected some contribution from a church somewhere to help the christian who are in jerusalem and was never a tithe. may God help us. |
