Do you believe that God will bless you more if you tithe? I do! God tells us he will bless us if we do! [Spirituality & Religion]

[b]God tells us to challenge him with tithing in the book of Malachi. God tells us there he will pour down a blessing so our barns are full![/b]

Most religions use fear and greed to gain adherents. This is just one of the "greed" attractions... "Mansions in Heaven" would be another?

@walabby No God has told us we will Be blessed if we give to a Godly church! I have challenged God when I’m broke and he gave me $22,000 a week later and I don’t dare not give a lot because God is sooo good to me financially and in every way!

Hasn't this been the case since the Roman days? Heaven can wait while Joel Olsteen enjoys his Mansion on Earth.

Jesus said “ many of you will say to me in that day we preached in your name, and I will say to you, I never knew you”
Jesus is coming in our generation to judge the living and the dead so get ready!
@Carazaa No. He's not.

Besides, Matt. 7 1-2: "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

@Carazaa Jesus told his disciples that they would not see death before he returned. Paul was under the impression the Jesus' return was so close that there was no point in getting married...
... we're still waiting...

@walabby Jesus said there would be wars and rumors of wars before he would come back and false “christs” and famines, and plagues, and iniquity abounding, and going to and fro, increased knowledge, and increased earthquakes, and mocking God, and the gospel flying to every country with the news of Jesus so obviously he was not talking about then! He was talking about now!
