Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, the Archbishop of Kampala, is sick of people not paying their tithes.
Lwanga, speaking during a mass, has proposed that the Ugandan government deduct tithes directly from the salaries of workers.
Punch reports that Lwanga said he was told about a similar arrangement in Germany. He asked for the support of the congregation, asking them if they weren’t tired of paying into baskets.
Whenever we ask for tithe, everyone gives only what they have at that time. But the Bible says a tenth of whatever you earn belongs to the church.
Give me your support as I front this proposal because it is good for us. Aren’t you tired of putting money in the baskets all the time?
I was told Germans made agreements with their government to deduct monthly tithe from their salaries and forward it to the church and this money they use to build and renovate their churches.

DEDUCT TITHES FROM SALARIES IDEED.BECAUSE YOU WORKED FOR ME.
Black men and their own interests (thing).
I AM A BIT CONFUSED ABOUT THIS NEWS ITEMS AND SURPRISED THAT A CATHOLIC BISHOP SAID THIS. THIS IS BECAUSE TITHE PAYING IS NOT A ROMAN CATHOLIC DOCTRINE. THE CHURCH ENCOURAGES MEMBERS TO FREELY AND WILLINGLY GIVE TO SUPPORT THE CHURCH BUT HAVE REALIZED SOME PARISHES AND DIOCESE ARE INTRODUCING THIS INTO THEIR CHURCHES THOUGH NOT COMPULSORY AND NOT THE BASES FOR MEMBERSHIP. WHOEVER USES MALACHI 3:8-10 TO JUSTIFY TITHE PAYING SHOULD READ FROM MALACHI CHAPTER 1 TO 3 AND START OFFERING ***barred word*** SACRIFICE BECAUSE THAT WAS ACTUALLY WHAT IT WAS TALKING ABOUT. THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST ATONED FOR ALL OUR SINS SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANY ***barred word*** SACRIFICE.
Just imagine this.......and he is supposed to be a leader of many. What a brain
My tithe is part of my salary, what is he talking about?
Oh yes, so the bishops can be riding in big cars and living in big houses, whilst the homeless people keep walking to work and bringing back 10% of their earnings.
