This is the surest way for con men turned with the likes of the so called "prophèts" con unsuspecting gullible and vulnérable Ghanains to part with their hard earned cash for these greedy thieves
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 an ...

the Bible asked the tithe to be given to the orphans and widows, not to rich pastors. Pastors have to be truthful and stop going after money. The church needs the support of its members but this kind of greed is sinful.

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 ...
