God loves a cheerful giver. You give to the church out of love and what you can afford, not some 10% out of my peanut paycheck. The only people who enjoy these tithes are the con men calling themselves 'men of god'

The mosaic laws was tremendous, so, if you want your followers to pay tithes, you also likewise need to follow all the other laws in the Old Testament, not just tithes. That include, sacrificing animals to God when you sin and tons of other laws that the Israelites had to follow. If you're unwilling to follow these laws, then you're a hypocrite and need to stop deceiving your church members into paying tithes.

I don't believe that our heavenly father curses us. That quotation from Malachi might be in this context false, or falsely understood or misinterpreted.That very same God won't asked us to bring our burdens to him because he will relieve us from all those burdens.
Why should the Lord curse us because of tithes and at the same time ask us to come to him ? Just you walking down the street and giving a needy might bring even bring more blessings than we paying our tithes.
Our God is a lovely father and doesn't curse us beacuse of tithes we don't pay.It is good to pay if you can , but God won't punish you because you didn't have moey to pay your tithes.In this case we can even ask him through our prayers to helps us pay our tithes, and l think our lovely father will listen to us rather than cursing us.

Tithes--DEUT 14:22-27
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 fermented 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.

Please if you have nothing to say don't confuse those who are ready to listen and follow. i will rather listen to my dog barking in this house than to hear such nonsense.

IN DEUT 14, GOD SAID GIVE THE TITHE TO THE POOR. TO TAKE TITHE FROM THE POOR AND LIE THAT GOD WOULD BLESS THEM IS NOT IN SCRIPTURE. PLEASE STOP ROBBING THE POOR IN THE CHURCH.
GOD SAID GIVE THE TITHE TO THE POOR. THE POOR DID NOT PAY TITHE IN THE TIME OF MOSES. THOSE WITH LESS THAN 10 COWS DID NOT PAY TITHE. THEY WERE GIVEN TITHE TO LIVE. OUR GOD IS NOT A WICKED GOD, HE IS A JUST AND MERCIFUL FATHER.

My salvation does not depend on paying 10% of my earnings to a charlatan like you. Mr. Ansha. you live a higher quality life, drive cars that your congregation cannot afford, dress in expensive clothes, possess more wealth and draw a pension that your poor congregants can only dream of. You afford all this on my tithe. If Jesus returned today he wouldn't recognize a hypocrite like you. One more thing; Jesus never preached about tithing. As the son of God, and a man dedicated to spreading his word, he appreciated gifts and acts of charity from people. He never preached tithing; he appreciated voluntary giving as in the sermon about the widow and her mite.
You Pastor Ansa, are a fraud. You're only in the business of preaching because of the 10% you impose on hardworking desperately poor people. You've preached the tithe as if it's a burden on today's christian. You're a fraud.
Second, the Levites are a tribe in Israel. You, Ansah, are not a Levite. More than Likely you're Akan or Ewe. No one has an obligation to pay tithe to you. Voluntary contributions, yes, but not an obligatory tithe.
Lastly, the tithe is an old testament law. Christians are no longer under an obligation to the Law. We're under grace, and that means you're a fraud if you insist that congregants must pay you tithe.

why did you guys preach and condemn the ten commandment given in the old testerment and yet still interested in tithes which was part of the commandment you are saying is over after the birth of Jesus Christ?
in your own calculations the church after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is purely and holily on free-willingness- Jesus is not commanding anybody in the new testerment church, (That was why ANANIAS HIS WIFE WAS KILLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT,if tihes was necesary at that time holy Spirit would not have killed them because what they brought was more than the 10% of the property sold.
you are talking about the levites- better not compare them to todays People who called themselfs to be paster-
where in the bible do the levites sold water, oil, Stones, sticks, etc to the People?
how much do Jesus Christ requested back as a rewards from all the People HE healed them?
how much Money do the 1 from the 10 who were healed by Jesus Christ paid in Returns? ( Jesus asked for the rest because the 1 who turned up wanted to follow him, a request even Jesus declined to accept, the purpose was Jesus wanted them to give their life to God by starting a new life of good morals so that what visited them from the sins would not resurfaces.

I am a Pastor and want to say even though most of my colleagues teach and believe in the tithe, i say its not a new testament requirement. In the New Testament, all we have belong to God, and a person who loves God speaks to him and determines in his heart with the Holy Spirit in attendance the amount of money to take from Gods money in his pocket at anytime.
So it means he can give 20% in a month, the following month 5% etc. I give more than what people call the Tithe, as i cant see how i can give God a ten percent. Sometimes I do not give anything at all, IF I DO NOT HAVE MONEY WITH ME. That is the spirit of the New testament. Ananias and his wife Sapphira purposed in their heart to give God a certain amount that is why they died when they refused to do that. What we should know is God should have spared them because their offering was more than 10%. Pls the Tithe is part of the old testament commands. The New testament BELIEVER PROPERTY ETC IS ALL CHRIST and all for Christ does not mean God will take all pour monies

Muhammad, all religion including Islam falls under Organized Religion. Why organized? Because it is being controlled from somewhere. Some person or persons definitely had to bring about the reason why Muslims should organize themselves for Friday prayers. Likewise Christians who should also organize themselves to attend church on Sundays. It's all about sun worship. Why do Muslims face east when praying? Obviously that's where the the sun rises. so Muslims merely greet the sun. Christians too have to meet on Sundays to worship God. All readers please google Mithra on the net. Most churches have hidden sun rays in their logos. Take that of the apostolic church for a example. you can notice the sun rays right under the cross at the top of the building. The word church comes from a goddess known as Circe. A very pretty goddess. That is why Christians say Mother church, because it is named after a woman. It was not an invention as such. It is meant to glorify this female deity. So when Christians go to church, they get into the bossom of this mighty goddess! Will not say much. Do some research yourselves!!

It appears those who have oversight of tithes in churches are not doing what is expected. Deuteronomy 26:12 explicitly says all the tithe of the third year should go to the Levites, resident foreigners, orphans and widows. The question is, do they practice that? Tithes are a form of insurance to benefit members of the Church. God had to come strong on the Jews because they neglected the principle of caring for the vulnerable who are beneficiaires of tithes.

......................................
SOME SAY THAT SINCE PASTORS DO NOT WORK AND DEDICATE THEMSELVES TO THE SERVICE OF THE LORD, THEY ARE THE LEVITES OF TODAY AND MUST BENEFIT FROM TITHES.
THE LEVITES IN THE BIBLE DECENDED FROM THE BLOODLINE OF LEVI. THE LEVITES DID NOT OWN ANY PROPERTIES . PASTORS TODAY COULD OWN PROPERTY. PASTORS OWN TAXIS, LAND AND FARMS. NO LAW PREVENTS PASTORS TODAY FROM OWNING PROPERTY LIKE THE LEVITES IN THE BIBLE.
IF PASTORS ARE THE LEVITES OF TODAY THEN THE APOSTLE PAUL AND THE OTHER DICIPLES OF JESUS COULD CLAIM TO BE THE LEVITES OF THEIR TIME AND TAKE TITHES. MOST OF THE APOSTLES OF CHRIST DEDICATED THEIR LIFE TO THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST AND DID NOT WORK. DID THEY BENEFIT FROM TITHES LIKE THE LEVITES? NO. IT WAS UNLAWFUL FOR THEM TO TAKE TITHES BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT LEVITES. THE TITHE WAS GIVEN TO THE WIDOWS, ORPHANS, STRANGERS AND POOR LEVITES.
PROPHETS IN THE BIBLE LIKE ELIJAH COULD NOT TAKE TIITHES BECUASE HE WAS NOT A LEVITE. JESUS HIMSELF COULD NOT TAKE TITHES BECAUSE HE WAS NOT A LEVITEI. HE WAS OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. PASTORS TODAY CANNOT CLAIM TO BE LEVITES BECAUSE THHEY HAVE NO BLOODLINE TO LEVI, THEY CAN OWN PROPERTY AND THEY CAN INHERIT PROPERTY..
IT IS UNBIBLICAL FOR PASTORS TO TAKE TITHES. ACCORDING TO GOD'S LAW TITHE WAS FOR THE ORPHANS, WIDOWS, STRANGERS AND LEVITES. SOME PASTORS LIKE DUNCAN ,WILIAMS, OTABIL ETC ARE MILLIONAIRES. WHY WOULD THE POOR PAY TITHES SUCH RICH PASTORS. NO PASTOR TODAY HAS THE BIBLICAL RIGHT TO TAKE TITHES. IT IS SINFUL AND UNLAWFUL

DID JESUS RECEIVE TAKE TITHES
Did Jesus, Mathew and Paul receive tithes?
Jesus was from the line of Judah so could not receive tithes. Only Levites from the line of Levi could receive tithes. Though the twelve apostles were men of God, they could not receive tithes because of their tribal lineage. How then can pastors today ask for tithes? Are they Levites? If the apostle Paul is not a Levite so could not take tithes why are some pastors taking tithes? The fact that one is a man of God does not qualify one to receive tithes. Even prophets and other men of God in the Bible, not from the tribe of Levi, could not be given from tithes.

TITHE NEVER INCOME IN THE BIBLE
Where in the Bible did God ask for 10% of your income? Tell me where income was mentioned regarding tithes in the Bible?
Fishermen in the Bible did not pay tithes. Goldsmiths did not pay tithes, soldiers did not pay tithes. TITHE WAS NOT PAID FROM INCOME. ONLY TWO PROFESSIONS PAID TITHES-FARMERS AND ANIMAL HERDERS.
Where in the Bible did God ask tithe to be used for anything other than food? Tithe was never used for temple furniture. Tithe was food that was eaten in the presence of the Lord.
The purpose of tithe is not for electric bills or salaries. God had only one purpose for tithes-- to feed the poor Levites and the widows, orphans and strangers. Pastors are not Levites. There are dno Levites in the Church today.

Tithes--DEUT 14:22-27
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 fermented 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.

Tithing is robbing and stealing from god's people !
This is the second and hopefully the concluding part of our discussion on tithing. And let me begin by saying that this article is intended for those who want to know the truth according to the Bible, and are willing to search the Scriptures to see whether these things are so. Acts 17:10-11. In the first part, many were enlightened and some burdens were lifted off many shoulders that have been groaning under the yoke of this bondage brought into the church by greedy or ignorant preachers. Others were mad because their false doctrines and greed and love for money have been exposed. Others were simply ignorant and behaved like the proverbial ostrich that would rather hide its head in the sand than confront error. And some were very indignant, insulting and cursing instead of proving their position by the Scriptures.
As said in the previous post, I used to teach and preach tithing, and when I did, the people just got up and parted with their money. One time, at a church here in Atlanta, Georgia, a pastor friend complained bitterly about the low financial position of his church and invited me to come and speak on tithing, saying his congregation didn't like tithing, and that even weekly offerings were very low. I told him, " Well, it's going to be different on Sunday." Then he asked me, " How ? " I said, " You wait and see ! " As you can imagine, the offering was over and above by about 1000 % the next Sunday. Those who didn't have cash wrote cheques like crazy, and I was proud to coerce them to bring out their money, telling them how they've robbed God and denied themselves blessings, using the "curse" of Malachi 3:9, for good measure ! Finally, I exhorted and commanded them, " Bring all the tithes into the storehouse.....! " I could see the terror on some faces and a lady was literally shaking as she wrote her cheque !
Lord, be merciful to us and forgive us for our many transgressions, twisting Your Word, misapplying Scriptures and abusing Your congregation with our greed and love for money ! Thank You for Your mercy and for Your blood which cleanses us from all sin ! I have repented and cannot in all good conscience preach or teach tithing again, because it is not for the New Testament church ! After carefully studying the Scriptures, I realized that Malachi was talking about corrupt priests in the Old Testament and not the New Testament believers, but these Scriptures in Malachi 3:8-12, have been used for generations to "scam" the Lord's people into parting with their money. Certainly, there are preachers who have been speaking against this abuse of Scriptures and "scamming" the Lord's people, but they have been looked upon with disdain and scorn and venom, but it is better for us to be scorned by mortal men than to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:31. " Woe to the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture, saith the Lord." Jeremiah 23:1.
AM I UNDER A CURSE IF I DON'T TITHE ?
No, my beloved, you're not cursed if you don't tithe, and neither are you blessed if you do; God does not need your money in order to bless you ! Abraham was already blessed by God before he ever thought of giving tithes, and so don't let any sakawa prophet, pastor, apostle, bishop, archbishop, or whoever intimidate you by twisting Scriptures to steal your money. The believer should give cheerfully, out of love for the Lord and His work, and not be pressured or threatened or cursed into giving. Our giving could be 10%, 100%, 1000%, 1% or zero %. according to our ability ! The Lord is more interested in our motivation than in the amount we give. Do you remember the widow's mite ? Luke 21:1-4.
What is your motivation for giving money or property to the church ? Is it so that you could be elevated in the church by your pastor ? Is it so that people would know that you are the highest giver in the church ? Is it to support the Lord's work or do you want favours from your pastor or prophet or whatever they call themselves ? Are you under a guilty conscience and do you think giving money to the church would ease the pain ? Did you rob or steal or commit adultery or fornication and expect the pastor to take your money and pray for you ? Remember, the Lord says, " I hate robbery for burnt offering." Isaiah 61:8. He does not delight in "stinking" or blood money ! Alas, many preachers are so greedy for money that they don't even care how you got the money, and would put curses on you instead of blessings.
DID JESUS TEACH ABOUT TITHING ?
Yes, in Matthew 23:23, He acknowledged that tithing was an obligation under the Old Covenant, but even so He taught the Pharisees to show mercy and kindness and faith. Besides, the Old Covenant was still in effect, and Jesus spoke to them as under the Law. The New Covenant was only ratified after His blood was shed on the cross. Jesus did not collect tithes from anyone, though He came to die for all mankind, therefore don't allow any greedy or ignorant pastor, prophet, apostle, bishop or archbishop to bamboozle you into paying tithes.
WARNING TO FALSE PROPHETS AND PASTORS
All over Ghana, churches are springing up everywhere like mushrooms and this is a good thing only if the motivation is right. But the truth is many are in the ministry not because the Lord has called them, but because they want to make easy money from gullible people who don't know the Bible. They love your money more than they love your soul. They are in it for the money; it's all about the money. God has not sent many of them yet they run, giving false prophesies and vain promises to helpless people. Jeremiah 23:21; Ezekiel 13:1-23. The Lord will deliver His people out of their hands, but the people need to be wise, and stop giving their money to greedy wolves in sheep's clothing. These false pastors and prophets need to start their own businesses to make their money, and stop fleecing the people in the name of the Lord for judgment is coming and has come !
BLESSED OR CURSED ?
Finally, if anyone feels they are being blessed for giving tithes, good for them, and they can continue to do so if they like. But if you feel you're under a curse, I can assure you that it is not because you don't pay tithes, but it could be something else. The Lord Jesus became a curse for us so that the blessings of Abraham shall be our portion. Galatians 3:13-14. If there is any sin in your life, confess it before the Lord and ask for forgiveness. Change your ways and do what is pleasing to the Lord and let His blessings follow you.

in your own calculations the church after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is purely and holily on free-willingness- Jesus is not commanding anybody in the new testerment church, (That was why ANANIAS HIS WIFE WAS KILLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT,if tihes was necesary at that time holy Spirit would not have killed them because what they brought was more than the 10% of the property sold.
you are talking about the levites- better not compare them to todays People who called themselfs to be paster-
where in the bible do the levites sold water, oil, Stones, sticks, etc to the People?
how much do Jesus Christ requested back as a rewards from all the People HE healed them?
how much Money do the 1 from the 10 who were healed by Jesus Christ paid in Returns? ( Jesus asked for the rest because the 1 who turned up wanted to follow him, a request even Jesus declined to accept, the purpose was Jesus wanted them to give their life to God by starting a new life of good morals so that what visited them from the sins would not resurfaces.
ABOUT 80% of europeans had never paid tithes but yet still the are the most successful in life as compared to we the Africans who paid tithes-
ARE WE ALL EQUAL BEFORE GOD?
I am not against anybody who still have those believe- but hey dont ever force it on the People in the church unless you still hold the ten comandment in the old testerment and you practise them all other than that leave the People on the free-willing given

God loves a cheerful giver. When Christ died, the curtains in the temple were divided into two so that we can all confidently go to God and get what we want without Levites. Levites are now supposed to work. The blood was spilled and cleansed us from all curses. So not paying tithe is not a curse for we are no longer under the law. Don't preach what interest you only. Thank God for the bible everyone can now read. Stop lying

Too many pastors today use Bible threats such as "Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm" in an effort to silence critics who expose their wrong deeds and doings and non-Biblical teachings. Their claim is that the critics, in that manner, speak against "a man of God". There are many references which are quoted to back this claim - Psalm 105:15; 1 Chronicles 16:22; Matthew 20:25-28. Some of the instances raised as danger of dishonouring God's anointed people are: Noah and his sons (Genesis 9:20-27); Moses and Miriam (Numbers 12:1-15); David and Saul (1 Samuel 24:1-7); Elisha and the youth (2 Kings 2:23-24). In the same vein, we read in 1 Samuel 15 of Samuel criticizing Saul (who was anointed by God to lead Israel). David, a man after God's heart, was criticized by Nathan when he was wrong. In 2 Samuel 12, we read in part: Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more! Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in His sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the people of Ammon.' "
The rise of preachers who demand themselves a position of dictatorship and lordship over the Church of God and who defend themselves by crying: "Touch not my anointed ...." is a relatively a recent development because the pastorate has been turned into a 'new career path' and not a call from God. If a pastor continually and continuously has to remind his congregation that he is the 'man of God)then either he is not the man for the congregation or he is doing something wrong. Definitely, there would be some tares in the Church who would always, without reasonable cause, criticize the pastor; but such people would be weeded out of the Church by God Himself or minimize their influence. If you are a pastor and have to face such people in the Church, let the dead bury their dead rather than try to revive corpses and the comatose back to life. If you have a man in the pulpit who leads by fear or guilt and cannot be cajoled to reality, then you need to treat him to empty pews and offertory. This message is the silent but powerful one. If the congregation is not together, such a man would lead all of them to hell because he himself is not a candidate for heaven. 1 Peter 4:12-19 is vivid on the rights of Christians and it is fearful if we fail to stand up and be counted: "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And, 'If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?' So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good." Some pastors think because they are ordained 'by the pouring out of an anointed oil on their heads', they are on a higher pedestal and more exalted level than their parishioners. By extension, they think because of that they are to be held to a lower level of standard of conduct. Such pastors posit that because they are preachers it is inevitable that they will offend people and will not try to avoid offences because if they did, they would have to stop preaching. But let us listen to what is written in 1 Timothy 4:12: "don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." Does this support the assertion of some of these modern day pastors? In our flesh, including pastors, we all desire to dominate, desire to be pre-eminent. 3 John 9-10 says: "I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church." Such pastors cannot bear to have their deeds and ways openly examined and compares with what the Word of God teaches. The dictatorial pastor expects his membership to devote themselves entirely to his service, going round on tiptoes for fear of offending him in any way, while he feels free to offend all and robs them of their liberty (Galatians 5:1). We should not be taken in by the pretensions of these fake preachers who allege that if any of their membership dare to criticize them for their offenses, the members are considered to have committed the unpardonable sin - they have touched the Lord's anointed. Let it be clear in our minds as Christians that we are all the anointed of God - priests and kings (1 Peter 2:9). All Christians (if you prefer born again Christians)are the Lord's anointed. In Old Testament times only some believers were priests, but in this age of grace, we are all priests. Of course, the reference in Psalm 105:15 relates to physical touch or violence and not verbal attach. Pastors are to "shepherd their flock to lie down in green pastures and lead them to the still waters" and must account to the Chief Shepherd. No woman should submit to an immoral relationship or strip naked to see if she is deemed worthy to be blessed because the 'pastor' says so and she must obey. No man should feel guilty because he is trying to support his family with their minimum needs; he has to work on a Wednesday night and cannot be at a prayer meeting (where apart from the tithes and offertory on Sunday, further collections are made). The pastor should not castigate that! Where there are failings on the part of the pastor - moral failings, wild prophetic speculation, accountability for tithes, false claims of receiving direct revelations from God, bizarre false teachings, unethical fund raising tactics, waste of Church's funds to purchase ostentatious luxury items - to these the congregation must stand up and drive him away from the Church or demonstrate with empty pews or empty offertory. We owe tremendous amount of courtesy to all of God's preachers (those who are called by the Lord and not those who called themselves or are called by men). We also have an obligation not to oppose or criticize them in an improper and un-scriptural manner. But they have the same obligation of courtesy to all Christian laymen, who are also the Lord's anointed.. Let us all return to the scriptural state of things in which all Christians are equal, having one Master, even Christ. "You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings." (1 Corinthians 7:23).
Let us receive the blessings of the Lord: The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you. The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you. The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. (Deuteronomy 28:8-13). AMEN!

Even in the old testament, Tithing was meant for not only the Levites, but Strangers, the Fatherless and the widow. This time as Pastors are getting their share, they should distribute Tithes among the faherless, the strangers, and the widows, even the poor the jobless and the homeless and not for the Pastor who gets his pay.

STEALING TITHE AND SLEEPING WITH PEOPLE'S WIFES. All they want is your money. they would say anything to rob you. i am not cursed and i dont pay tithe. i give to the poor, i dont give to greedy pastors.

God loves a cheerful giver. When Christ died, the curtains in the temple were divided into two so that we can all confidently go to God and get what we want without Levites. Levites are now supposed to work. The blood was spi ...

what you are saying is a lie. pay tithe is a spiritual stealing from God's children.you pay tithe to enrich some individuals in the church.leaving the majority of the congregation very very poor.
Good bless u prof. for this facts,as for that disgruntled false prophet Amartey and his followers,,,the least said about them the better,,they have chosen to be under perpetual CURSE
he who gives to the poor lends to the Lord and the Lord God shall pay him/her back, stop giving your monies to these nincompoops and help the needy they are in your neighborhoods and your family....WISE UP
when everyone thinks he is now a teacher. pride goes before a fall and.....to add....we are closer to Parousia so CONTINUE!!!
People who have fellowship with Christ should continue in their faith..
I advise that those who would like to teach must learn well, and not to just write anything at all. Even in the old testament, Tithing was meant for not only the Levites, but Strangers, the Fatherless and the widow. This ti ...
