In some European countries like Austria, tithe(they Call theirs church tax) is just 2% of your salary and it's being paid by people that earn above 800 euros(above #200,000).. This money is used for upkeeing of refugees and less privileged

Did Jesus say paying tithes would make us a better person or insure our souls?

Everything rises and falls on love not tithing.

I stopped paying when it became clear it was an old testament injunction.

I've stopped paying for over 5 years and God hasn't stopped blessing me.

I was a sinner. You asked me to accept Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour, which I did. And now you tell me I MUST part with 10% of my income to get God's blessing within this new Kingdom of God? Fraudulent is it to me.

The question is: What do churches do with their tithes, offerings , thanksgivings and first fruit?.... Y do churches ask to contribute for church building after paying aforementioned monies?.... Will it be fair If after paying tax to government and they still ask her citizens to contribute their salaries for development?

Mention one fault in His design of the universe.

1.Earthquakes.
A perfectly designed orb, a habitat for millions of living species, should not have FAULT lines that haphazardly shifts on a regular basis to create unimaginable catastrophies.

2. Mosquitoes that cause malaria, a disease that kills tens of millions of children every year.

3. Sickle cell anaemia is surely a design flaw, as are many genetic diseases.

4. Etc etc.

Oh so we blame God for the way we have destroyed d earth through global warming etc.

The fall of humanity into sin had effects on everything, including the world we inhabit. Everything in creation is subject to “frustration” and “decay.” Sin is the ultimate cause of natural disasters just as it is the cause of death, disease, and suffering.

Did you know that not all mosquitoes drink blood to survive? Some of them feed on plant nectar, even aiding in plant pollination.

Mosquito were created to feed on plants and not blood but sin destroyed d universe and corrupted the creation of God.

Because modern day tithing makes a supposedly omnipotent Christian god look like a petty beggar begging for 10% crumbs from the table of humans.

The tithe in the old testament was made to be given to the Levites who do not work except for God,
Numbers 18:21,
"And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service of the tabernacle of the congregation."
.
God also instructed the levites to pay tithe to the priest.
.
Hebrew 18:26
"Speak to the Levites and
say to them: 'When you
receive from the Israelites
the tithe I give you as your
inheritance, you must
present a tenth of that tithe
as the LORD's offering.
.
Now if the pastors collect the tithe as levites, who are the priests they pay to.

SOPIGO:
The commandment to tithe, or contribute a tenth of one’s belongings, was part of the Law given to the ancient nation of Israel. However, the Bible makes it clear that this Law—including the “commandment to collect tithes”—does not apply to Christians.—Hebrews 7:5, 18; Colossians 2:13, 14.
The Bible’s direction Christians: “Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”—2 Corinthians 9:7.

Brother we should share the word one of these days..

I will always pay my tithes I even tithe the gifts I receive as God has been too good to me to refuse paying me paying tithe. Paying tithe has worked wonders in the area of my finances as my cruse of oil never fails.

So we are going to have graduates in this country who have been taught that earthquakes and malari are caused by sin ?

It's no wonder then that we depend on drugs manufactured in a Hindu nation to cure us of many common illnesses.

you can never give the giver, God does not needs your money. I quote from Deuteronomy 14:22-49.
22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other strong drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.

28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
How many levites do we have among our pastors? They are all fucking business men and politicians.
