I do not like to argue biblical stuffs because some people can easily misunderstand you and start calling you names.But all along I have known there is something wrong with Tithing as the pastors wants their congregation to do it today.Since I am not a fool,I pay my own tithe by helping my fellow human being when he is in need.I live in a foreign country where they are a lot of Nigerians doing nothing,I pay my tithe by making sure that every Nigerian that steps into my house must have something to eat.I pay my tithe by doing something in my Church from time to time,not what the pastor wants me to do,but what I feel is lacking in the Church and I feel I can do it.That is how I pay my tithes.I can never take 10% of my hard earned money and give to a pastor.Most of the pastors in the country I stay have businesses.Most of the pastors in the country where I stay collects tithes from yahoo yahoo boys,the pastors knows that these boys are yahoo yahoo boys,still they will tell them,this week,I can see God blessing 20 people here,make sure you pay your tithe when that happens,I can see 25 western union control numbers here,make sure you pay your tithes when you get the money,most of the pastors here also have agents that monitors the yahoo yahoo boys to report anyone that gets money so that the pastor will call him on the phone to pay his tithes,most of the pastors here keeps registers of people that pays tithes and how much they pay in tithes,if you have any problem,may be a police case or immigration case,the pastor will first of all consult the register to see how much you have paid in tithes before he will decide whether to tell the members of the church to help you or not,finally and most importantly,these pastors will never preach to you to repent and give your life to Christ,some of the people that works with some of the pastors here are living with women that are not their wives,yet the pastors will never tell them it is not good.All they care about is tithe,tithe and tithe.They conveniently went back to old testament and brought forward the issue of tithing,they are 613 Ordinances in the Old Testament,including washing your private part after urinating,menstruating women not going to church,Sabbath day(Saturday) and many others,out of these 613 Ordinances in the Old Testament,only tithing is still being preached by the pastors today......Haba,which kind wayo be this.Sophie,thanks for this post.  

does it bite them .... the answer is a big NO. tradition is a tradition . killing of a snake is a taboo in most of Anambra state , so the pastor should no better cos the tradition has been there before he come open his church . afterall the village cannot change their tradition bcos of pastor they're not even show he worship God inside . nawadays anything is possible .
