If u have been reading vanguard newspapers recently u must have come across Pastor Amoda's comment to what Pastor Adeboye preaches on tithe.what caught my eye today was the intervention of Emmanuel and his interpretation of the bible regarding tithing.the biggest problem christians have is selecting part of the old testament that suits the message and rejecting the rest ,or attempting to marry the old and new testament.Emmanuel cited Abraham as example.Abraham did many things God approved including marrying his sister [SARAH Gen 20 ;11-12]sleeping and having a child by his maid Gen 16 ;1-2. it is either we are saved by grace and washed by the blood of Jesus and do away with the law or we keep the law.to say that if u dont pay tithe you go to Hell fire is not just unbiblical it makes no sense.if that is a requirement to go to heaven how come in the sermon of the mount where Jesus laid the foundation of his ministry he did not command it.through out his ministry he mentioned it when rebuking the pharisees of their hypocrisy.in the old testament tithe was commanded to be used in feeding the priest and keeping bread in the house of God malachai 3;8-10.look at the champions of tithe in the pentecostal circle and tell me the driving force=money.if Jesus is here will he tell my great uncle whose income is less than 10,000 naira a month to pay tithe or sow seed to a pastor that owns a private jet.it is just about the money and as a christian the bible teaches that salvation is by grace not by the works of the law.
