Sheer diabolism and attention-seeking tactic!... with an aim to deprive the church of much needed systematic support of the ministry, and slow the spread of the gospel. Don't you know that many are deliberately paying the widow's might in the offering plate in today's economy?
1. Name one church which forces its congregation to pay tithes.
2. Name one church which is cursing people for not paying tithes.
3. Did you know tithing is part of stewardship, and its principle can be traced to Eden before the fall, long before there was a Jew? See Genesis 2:16-17.
4. Did you that most of the apostles and disciples were itinerant preachers, and did not organize into regular churches until several years after the death of Christ which means that only those who understood the tithing system, and were working, will pay it without necessarily announcing it to the public?
"Modern-day tithing is a false doctrine?" Who are the royal priests today who should be receiving tithes?
"And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation" (Numbers 18:21).
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light"
(1 Peter 2:9).
Mr Amartey, will you explain this text to your readers?
"For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
What makes the tithe holy?
"And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD"
(Leviticus 27:30).
Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel"
(1 Corinthians 9:9-14).

Refusing to pay tithes is another method of temptation Satan is using for people to fail as faithful stewards of God. It is all about systematic giving in contrast with spontaneous giving which is being advocated by Amartey and his partners. Relying on feelings to do things is one of Satan's best teaching methodologies in his kingdom of evil.
"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices" (2 Corinthians 2:11).
"The command to pay tithe is nor explicitly restated by any of the NT writers. But in view of the fact that Abraham, as a matter of course, paid tithe centuries before the formulation of the Levitical code, and that the principle of tithe paying was implicit even before man sinned, it is evident that the principle and practice of tithe paying existed long before the Levitical system came into being, and was not peculiar to it. Therefore, the obligation to pay tithe was not automatically waived when the Levitical code became inoperative at the cross. Our Lord’s admonition in Mt 23:23 constitutes tacit approval, though not an explicit command, for tithe paying. Neither Christ nor any NT writer in the least relaxes the obligation to pay tithe. Jesus clearly was not against tithing as such, but against the hypocritical spirit of scribe and Pharisee, whose religion consisted chiefly in the scrupulous observance of the outward forms of the Law, in this case the law of the tithes. The principle of tithe paying is also tacitly approved by the writer of the book of Hebrews (see ch 7:8)."

if you don't pay tithes God would not bless you. You are holding away God's blessings. The tithe is for God, it is not for man. the 10 percnt is God's share to help pastors, to pay their salaries and fix things in the church.
God said if you don't pay tithe, there is a curse on you. Your business would not prosper and your children would not prosper. you punish your generation. Tithe is what connect God's blessing to you. You don't want the curse of God, you pay your tithe.
If there is God's curse on you, you would not see the kingdom of heaven. So here in the world and in the next world you would suffer.
Don't steal from God, give him his share of the tithe. Every 10% of your salary, gifts and presents that you do not pay is robbing God. You cannot steal from God because God would take the tithe back from you. The devourer would attack you in the form of sickness, financial loss, death and misfortune. Pay the tithe and avoid all this. pay and see God pour blessings on you ad your family.
