Ok.....nice
2 Corinthians 9:7 shows also that the tithing law has been updated to whatever we individually want to give as shown in the screenshot below.

Tithe is tithe. Giving is giving.

Jesus addressed both when He was here.

That is why we give other offerings in church aside tithe.

You either pay tithe or you don't.

You don't give tithe. You pay it.

😆😆😆😆......so tithing is not an act of giving? Are you serious......show me where that verse says that tithe is different from giving?
Your churches are lying to you.....sorry

lexy2014:


so the Holy Spirit did not tell you how to answer simple questions.

1. who are these "servants of God today"?

My friend, anyone who is TRULY CALLED of God today is a levite.

Though there are many fake pastor's and prophets o...

But Bible says BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM.

May God help us to know the real ones o. So that the fakes will not take advantage of us.

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Tithe is paid not given. It's an obligation. It's a fixed figure.

Matthew 23:23
23 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.

Oga you are a liar.....nowhere did the church in the bible claim that tithe is not given but paid and an obligation. Matthew 23:23 is not directed to the Church. 2 Cor 9:7 is directed to the church.

2 Corinthians 9:7 was talking about regular offering which we all give according to our wish and capacity.

Matthew 23:23 is backed by 2 Timothy 3:16 so it applies to the church.

Matthew 23:23
23 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.

2 Timothy 3:16
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Oga you are liar......oya show me where the apostles mandated Christians to pay tithe that was seperate from regular giving?

They didn't have to deliberate on God's laid down statutes all over again. To what end?

Malachi 3:10-12
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

Matthew 23:23

Your submission shows that you are dubious.....let's follow your analogy in Matthew 23:23.
Did Jesus say we should pay money or that we should 'pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin'? Which one?

Good question. You are free to pay tithe of whatever you earn in cash and kind. Just pay the tithe. It's the heart that matters.

Where did Jesus tell you to pay in cash in Matthew 23: 23?

Michael547:

Where did Jesus tell you to pay in cash in Matthew 23: 23? Kindly quote a verse

Mint no be cash

Sweeetheart:



Nobody is going to hell for not paying tithe, and no one will experience tight moment for not paying it. It's left to God to decide because he had told us not to judge


You extremist are staining the main existence of the gospel. Monitizing salvation is wrong

Don't bring your useless sef to my mention bcus I don't take lightly to idiots who think dey have vawulence and insults to throw around.

Nobody is going to hell for not paying Thithe.
It's blessing is engraved in the Sowers Law of Nature. You don't even have to give Your Thithe to a Church. Even if You give it to the motherless, You will still receive the blessing.

Giving attracts Blessing.

You are very stupid for calling me an extremist. Like I said the people paying the Thithe to Church no complain na stupid You don swear se You go kill yourself untop the matter.

Donaldoni:


Mint no be cash

Can you see that you are so ignorant from the screenshot below?
Where did Jesus tell you to pay cash in Matthew 23:23?

detectivejones:





Na tithe she go still carry pay lawyer. Rest.

Yes make e pain You well well

Una just dey anyhow for this Country sha.

People wey dey pay the Thithe no complain oo, na una wey be onlookers just carry matter for head

You just dey create unnecessary rugberugbe for yourself

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

that is not what I asked you.

1. who are these "servants of God today"?

naijapikin2:


Numbers 18:20 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.



Numbers 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

Numbers 18:23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.











Numbers 18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.


These verses tell you that the levites which were a part of the 12 tribes in israel were not supposed to work but to perform priestly duties, while the remaining 11 tribes work and give a tenth (tithe ) to the levites for as their inheritance and also for provision for those in need who may come their way from time to time.

Verse 25 of November's 18 tells you that this ordinance was to continue from generation to generation. So it remains till this day.

At this point in time, If you still don't understand, then you case is a special one. I believe that the Holy Spirit will be of immense assistance when you ask him for insight in the place of prayer 🙏🙏🙏

where in all that you mentioned was "servant of God" mentioned in Numbers 18 that you quoted?

Nowadays we refer to new note as mint nah.

Even then, we now pay tithe by cheque and bank transfer. Hardly do people pay cash.

You see that we are moving with the time. So in Jesus' time, that was what they could pay tithe on. Before then, they paid with farm produce.

Don't be mischievous.

Orinechi:
The people u said we should ignore are still part of the problem. They obtain by trick and deception.

Guy You can't understand how unreasonable You sound until you take a deeper look at how your mind is relating to the issue.

Is anyone forcing anyone to pay Thithe??
How do they obtain by trick and deception?

Hope You are aware that obtaining by deception is a crime in every Country

Mind Your business, nobody force you to pay Thithe, people wey dey pay am dey pay am willingly so how's that a problem??

Are you so ignorant to know that the mint in Matthew 23:23 has nothing to do with cash or money but a plant?

Lol....so are you saying that there was no money in the time of Jesus?
Where did Jesus tell people to pay tithe as cash or money in Matthew 23:23

TemplarLandry:
The tithe controversy in the church of God...
You don't wanna know my opinion on it.

Your opinion is irrelevant... only relevant to yourself.

Whether mint, anise, cummin and whatever is their equivalent today, just pay your tithe.

The heart is what matters

You are a liar....Jesus never said you should pay their equivalent in Matthew 23:23. Why are you lying like this naaaa😆

Pay tithe of whatever you have. Just pay tithe.

naijapikin2:


The levites are the priests and servants of God today who commit their life to FULLY serve God. If you don't know this, then you really need a spiritual updating. Ask anyone you know in christianity. THE LEVITES ARE THE PRIESTS TODAY.

if you say Levites are the same thing as priests and servants of God, what were Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Elijah, David, ELisha, Isaiah, Daniel, Jeremiah, Jonah to mention a few?

if you say "THE LEVITES ARE THE PRIESTS TODAY", who was the bible talking to in

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Revelation 1:6
and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

Donaldoni:


Pay tithe of whatever you have. Just pay tithe.

Stop deceiving people....Jesus said we should pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin. Anybody saying what Jesus did not say in Matthew 23:23 is a big fat liar.

Donaldoni:


Pay tithe of whatever you have. Just pay tithe.

why?

how do you pay tithe of WHATEVER you have?

Michael547:

Lol.....so do you believe that aversion who does not pay tithe will be rich and go to heaven? If yes, why the emphasis on tithe?

You guys are just being ridiculous. Watin concern You for the matter na se the people wey dey pay the Thithe don ever come your house come complain ni

Why crying so so hard than the bereaved??

I don't just pay my Thithe in Church, sometimes as e do me for body I fit pay am into a motherless baby Home,giving attracts blessings from different dimensions. My concept for Christianity is not based on what one man says bcus He is a pastor, I dey seek to find God for Me.

Drop the topic, as long as se people wey dey pay the Thithe no complain give You, all this ririririri na just unnecessary rugberugbe una dey create for unasef. Una no need am, watin una need na to channel the energy on the people wey dey make life TIGHT for the Country.

Abi na THITHE dey make life TIGHT for the Country

You are not ready to obey simple instruction.

Jesus' point was clear. Don't stop paying tithe.

For the Pharisees and Scribes, it was mint, anise and cummin. For others, it was their produce.

For us today, it is cash and kind - whatever you desire to tithe.

Donaldoni:

lexy2014:


why?

how do you pay tithe of WHATEVER you have?

Whatever is whatever. If I was paid 10 barrels of crude oil for doing a job, my tithe is 1 barrel.
