frosbel:

Bro, you are the one that is following a myth. Just because 90% of Christendom believe in a concept does not make it right, in fact the converse is the case in reality, the majority follow the lie or myth and the minority follow the truth.


My Bible says that Jesus is the Son of God , the Messiah, the Christ - Nothing more and nothing less.

But your myth says that he is half MAN and half GOD , when it has been clearly stated that God is a spirit and not a MAN. smiley

The simple fact that Jesus did not come as a man but like a man should give us a clear inclination that He was more than a mere mortal.

1)As frosbel rightly pointed out to you, Jesus did not teach anyone to go tithe, but he made derogatory statements about these religious men. They depend and rely so much on what they do that seem to them as the full height of righteousness.

2)New Testament of grace did not start during Jesus' earthly ministry but after His death and most importantly His Resurrection. If you truly want to know what the Grace gospel is all about, stick with the Pauline epistles where Christ revealed all the hidden mysteries that were kept secret aforetime.
Hmmmn.Another false teacher of nairaland.atleast you agree with frosbel on this one, not the deity of Christ.Keep deceiving and being deceived. grin

OK...go through the translations carefully:

23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: Which is to say he was actually teaching both the pharisee,crowds and his disciples and not the other way round as you would erroneously have us believe.

You keep meticulous account books, tithing on every nickel and dime you get, but on the meat of God’s Law, things like fairness and compassion and commitment—the absolute basics!—you carelessly take it or leave it. Careful bookkeeping is commendable, but the basics are required.

He was actually teaching them that the basics is required before their tithing can be commendable in God's sight.Short and simple. grin

He came like a MAN is to deny his humanity.

He came as a MAN is to confess his Messiahship.

There is a difference because we took the image and likeness of a fallen and sinful man. We inherited a sinful nature from man and not from God.
God separated himself from man the day he pushed us out of the garden of Eden but through christ we have been adopted.

Contrary to your assertions here, the bible tells us that man became more like God after he ate the forbidden fruit which brought about the fall of man.

Genesis 3:22
22 And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become like one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever--

Man became like God in the sense that, he now had the capacity to tell and define evil and good. Even till date man carry out that part of God's attribute that they have usurped. Some Christians fall into the snare too, they believe more on their experience and what they feel at the expense of what God says in the scripture. They become a god to themselves defining right and wrong by their own cognisance and standards.

The actual truth is that, man died on this day and death reigned from then. You and I also carry the DNA
/ the likeness and the sinful nature of Adam today. In Adam we all died, hence, any man that is not in Christ is dead(spiritually) although he lives(physically)

The OP is an error and an attempt to ridicule God who instituted the tithes to start with.

The tithes simply goes to God as a sweet smelling sacrifices like Paul stated nothing more. If Jesus is the head of His church and we are His body. Is it not for our benefit that the body should be nourished through the collective resources we bring as a body

Like i always tell you? who are you to judge my givings of 10,20,30,40% etc to God.The day you can provide a single scripture that commands me not to tithe then i will stop. Until then you have no case here.
