trustman:

Here you go again seeking to divert attention from the issues at hand and go through an 'escape route'.
As soon as you're unable to face reality you look for a quick way out.

You talk like an ignorant man, i don't escape. Ask your seniors on NL.

MarkMiwerds:
maybe you needs to find out what that means. Nadab and Abihu offered that which the Lord had not commanded. It did not become "sanctified" on the altar.

The Priests in Malachi offered sick and blind animals. They did not become "sanctified".

Well said MarkMiwerds!

Image123:


That is why you need to find time and God to tell you what it means. It is God that said it, not me. i knew already that you do not know, hence the advice.

If you truly know please be kind enough to tell us.
Kindly make your explanation as simple as possible for easy comprehension.

The gift is greater.

But tithe is not a gift. Tithes were obligatory necessities. Deceitful Pastors and lying teachers teach their congregations it is required or they are cursed and robbing God. Tithe in Churches is nothing more than extorted monies.

It is your lame defence on tithing; that ALL scriptures is inspired and tithing is part of 'ALL' and you would not hear none of 'that was not meant for us'. You want me to remind you of how Candour and Miwerds wiped the floor with your illogic?

Image123:


You imagined that if you met a healed leper, you'd prescribe that he offers animal sacrifices because ALL SCRIPTURES IS INSPIRED, epic.

Image123:

At@ , you're the one saying not me. Learn to ask questions intelligently instead of stereotyping or carving your opinions on another.

Its not me 'carving ma opinions', it's the message you are sending. You told us 'a tenth is a tithe offered or not'. meaning all tenths are tithes.

Image123:

If your queue of cars belong to one person and are the same model, the tenth would be a tithe, which of course is 10%.

The cars at the petrol station owned by more than one person. If we go by ya definition that a tenth is a tithe, it therefore mean that the tenth car on the queue is a tithe, abi? Remember that ya definition did not say that all items must belong to one person. We can also say that the 'tenth' person (in a queue) waiting to pay for purchases at a check out counter is a tithe. So you understand why ya definition of tithe cannot be coming from God.

Image123:

When you calculate 10% of your 13children, the answer is the tenth which is your tithe.

10% of 13 children will require taking a whole and maybe an arm or leg from another child. Your tithing practice is definitely Babylonian. Can you imagine image123 tithing children, and in bits for that matter

I followed the debate and am still reeling in shock from the extremes you went to justify tithing. You failed but soldiered on. Yopu are immune to logic and common sense

Image123:


You may need to dedicate time to reading my previous posts on tithes on this forum, i really don't have the time to babysit your types.

These fraudsters are s till promoting this tithe scam? Abeg make una go find work do! Don't take God's gatience for granted, repent when u still av opportunity o.

Image123:

We've been through this before. Many things belong to the Lord in that chapter if you care to read through.

...and the Lord did not request for a tithe of the 'many things that belong to him'. His command was clear enough, he requested for a tithe of farm produce.

Image123:

It in no way implies that whatever is not written in that one chapter does not belong to the Lord. For goodness sake, the earth is the Lord's.

This is not about the many things that belong to the Lord; it is about the 'tithe' that belong to the Lord. Yes, the earth is the Lord's but he did not command that a tithe of the 'earth' be given to Him. Instead he requested for a tithe of Farm produce.

Zikkyy:


Na wa oh! so levites and descendants of Abraham tithed while in the loins of Abraham. I guess it's okay for me to say Bidam worshipped and offered sacrifices to Sango/other African gods while in the loins of his great.....grandfather.

Na your bible talk am o..except you don switch alliance from Jesus worship to zango worship.. how u dey?

Bidam:

I dey kampe. even if bible talk something like that, you no interpret am very well.

MarkMiwerds:
your discerner is broken. I wasn't angry.

It isn't, your fixation on this issue leaves much to be desired, it doesn't require a seer to know that.

The Bible tells us who Abraham tithed to. You must have forgot that truth.

So who did Abraham tithed to?

It also tells us what those tithes consisted of.

And what does it consist of? the so called antithing mantra of spoils shey? spare me abeg. SMH!

Zikkyy:

So what's your interpretation?

Zikkyy:

Maybe like vooks said, logic and commonsense have taken leave of Image123.

The answer to this ya question will require you to drop '10%' first

Inna...I need the revelation before i drop the 10% o

Ridiculous conclusion, you forget deliberately that tithe is 10% of a whole. You hurt yourself when you unthink this way, i should warn.

Zikkyy:

Like the one Abraham gave et all, there goes the circle again.

Image123:

And you, Image123, forget that God said in His Word what "whole" He required to be tithed from.

Was it from the whole Earth? Nada! It was from the whole of the land that God had promised to Jacob. That is where God said tithe was to come from.

He also said that what was to be tithed from that "whole" was agricultural products, not money.

It is you who is hurting, not us who rightly divide the Word of Truth.

Image123:

Ridiculous conclusion,

trustman was right afterall, this is you using the emergency exit.

Image123:

you forget deliberately that tithe is 10% of a whole.

Says who? ya pastor?

Image123:

you forget deliberately that tithe is 10% of a whole.

..and a whole what? a whole human being?

unless you provide a proper definition of tithe, there is no way ya definition will make sense. you are yet to tell us if the tenth car waiting to be served at a petrol station should be offered as tithe to the Lord, or if the tenth person waiting to pay for purchases at a check out counter should be offered as tithe to the Lord.

Image123:

you forget deliberately that tithe is 10% of a whole.

..and you forget that 10% of a whole may not be another whole. What is 10% of a whole egg? another whole egg?

Image123:

Like the one Abraham gave et all, there goes the circle again.

What has Abrahams tithe gat to do with Leviticus 27 where God defined his tithe? Are you trying to extend God's definition of tithe?

Image123:

It is the altar that sanctifies the gift, and it is the temple that sanctifies the gold. Go, find time and God to learn what that means.

MarkMiwerds:
maybe you needs to find out what that means. Nadab and Abihu offered that which the Lord had not commanded. It did not become "sanctified" on the altar.

The comment by Image is used by pastors to justify the collection of tithe of blood money, armed robbery proceeds, tithe from prostitution e.t.c

so so true.

not forgetting the promotion of extorting money from the poor and uneducated.

Thank you for your response.
It has gone a long way to further reveal another side of you.

MarkMiwerds:
And you, Image123, forget that God said in His Word what "whole" He required to be tithed from.

He also said that what was to be tithed from that "whole" was agricultural products, not money.

It is you who is hurting, not us who rightly divide the Word of Truth.

Abraham tithed before Israel was born, how do you always manage to forget that? Tithes do not need to be 'required 'before it can be given, why do you consistently fail to internerlize that? You have also been shown scriptures of Israelites who gave tithes of more than agric produce, God did not complain.

Zikkyy:


Says who? ya pastor?

Basic maths.

..and a whole what? a whole human being?

unless you provide a proper definition of tithe, there is no way ya definition will make sense. you are yet to tell us if the tenth car waiting to be served at a petrol station should be offered as tithe to the Lord, or if the tenth person waiting to pay for purchases at a check out counter should be offered as tithe to the Lord.

Those are foolish questions i do not need to deal with. You will only hear such from depraved minds bent on logically twisting the Word to their own destruction.

..and you forget that 10% of a whole may not be another whole. What is 10% of a whole egg? another whole egg?

i didn't forget. You have resorted to the ridiculous, you used to present saner points than these, what happened.

Zikkyy:


What has Abrahams tithe gat to do with Leviticus 27 where God defined his tithe? Are you trying to extend God's definition of tithe?

Abraham's tithe is as much the Word of God as is Leviticus. Are you trying to cut out of the Bible?
