Why do people find it difficult to pay TITHES?

S247:
Why do people find it difficult to pay TITHES?

Because tithes as it is preached today is derived by fraudulently twisting old testament scriptures that are not relevant to christianity to extort 10% of the income of believers. Christians are not meant to tithe

Why do churches find it difficult to pay TAX?

Because many Nigerians are poor and they don't trust their pastors with their tithes. Many churches nowadays are more after your money than your salvation.

sometimes 10% is too much

But we take a whole 90% while giving GOD ordinary 10%

churches involve in souls winning which make them non-profit making organizations

Because God has nothing to show for all the money paid to him.
I mean, look at the universe, void and cold, no infrastructure, no easy way to get from galaxy A to galaxy B.

We need a probe of finances of the universe.

I think we should careless on how pastors spend tithes, but rather see it as obeying GOD's commandment and as a gateway to our BLESSINGS.

The question should have been 'WHY MUST PEOPLE PAY TITHE?'

GOD owns the world we only offer Him little out of the numerous things HE had offerred us. no one can pay 4 d air he/she breathes in.

True pastors are GOD'S representatives, so anything given to them are given to GOD.

Jesus was also running a non profit organization, but he paid his tax.

For divine blessing.(Malachi 3:10)

I don't pay tithe but give generously and yet God is blessing me divinely. Start reading Malachi from chapter 1 and don't just pick chapt 3 vs 10. Thanks.

JESUS paid direct tax as individuals.All tithes, offerings & donations had already been taxed directly by the goverment individually b4 taken to churches. so taxing churches directly makes it double taxation. Because govt. sees such as TRANSFERRED EARNINGS not INCOME. Obviously churches pay indirect taxes on things purchased. If there is any constitution stipulating that churches should pay taxes, I'm sure no true church will hesitate.

Am talking of churches that own printing press, banks, transport company, pure water business, schools etc. nt the offering and tithe, Every company or individuals that makes use of govt properties that is maintained by tax payers money e.g roads, water, security, hospital, Land etc is supposed to pay tax.

Any business set up by any church is a saparate legal entity under the law and is subjected 2 taxation.

Ask them oooooo

What a personal question

because we find it funny difficult giving out whatever we consider as ours.

we make ourselves believe we need more money do d 10 percent will do more.

humans r naturally greedy. give a kid 1k n ask him to give his younger one 300 out of it n c if it won't b hard for him

Why do Christians find it difficult to pay tithes? @ OP

Don't act like all Nairalanders are Christians

[size=14pt] I will pay tithes the day any one can provide me with the direct bank of God. But paying to pastors to flex in jets and yatchs is a NO NO for me. Dangote is the most blessed and successful man in Nigeria and he never paid any tithes but contributes to humanity via donations which most churches will never do. People paying tithes 24/7 are begging God to have 1% of his blessings so what are we saying RELIGION IS INDEED A SCAM. [/size]

Because this is 2016 not the Old Testament

2. This is Nigeria in Africa not Israel..

3. God does not need your tithe.

4. Tithe is not money to God but rather money to Man.

5. Also because the Church does not pay taxes, meanwhile the priests of the old testament paid tithe on the tithes they received.

6. Jesus who is the basis of the Christian faith did not pay tithe but rather paid taxes.

7. Jesus commanded us to give to strangers and the needy around us not to give to the Church.

8. Jesus never asked us to pay tithes.

9. Jesus never received tithes from anyone.

10. Dollar has gone up.


That's all..
