alignacademy:
Which ones have you applied for?

which ones do u av for him?

your thread topic is an assertion..
the thread's contents comes as a question..
i am confused mehn

oakinshield:
I will simply say this, if you don't tithe, the men of God who you people are destroying their name will never go poor. Why? Because the legitimate promise is upon them. For those of you who don't know what the promise is go and study your bible. And please stop using your stubborn hearts to justify your refusal to pay your tithe. God our father in heaven has told you to pay your tithes and then test him to see if he will not bless you abundantly and God is not a man that he will lie. And remember that 1.Jesus did not come to remove the law but to make it stronger. 2.The old testament still counts because if it did not there will not be reference to it in the new testament and it would not even be added to the Bible. Thanks

u r one of those religion sheeples who waste their education on baseless faith in yahoo boi pastors,
u will buy bible that is written in english.. yet u wud not make use of the brain u spent over 12yrs+ training how to use properly, and read to basic comprehension unless ur MOG tells u how to read it.
--------------------------------------------
1.
Agreed!! the old testament still counts, then why is its reference and application to modern day christianity selective?
why doesn't it count in entirety?, atleast there are many tinz in the old testament that modern day xtianity did away with,
who da heck in the name of an MOG selfishly determines where and when it counts?

2.
lemme start by quoting the foundational scripture of the curse of the law

Gal 3:13
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole."

when u r redeemed from something, it means u've been delivered from shackles of whatever binds u to that thing physically, spiritually etc.

the emboldened in the quotation is to tell u christ dint come to strengthen any God4saken law, but to reclaim us from its bondage..

u can also check Revelation 22:3
smh
------------------------------
u need to visit ur pastor(if he's a good one) to elaborate to u on the concept of what the curse of the law is..ensure he first explains to u what the law means in biblical context of jewish traditions

OlaSammie:
But it's like pastors don't want to accept the truth about this tithe matter. Even the pastors I believe are genuine preach that tithe is compulsory.

Is it because they know we humans are naturally stingy with our money and God allows them to use that Malachi 3:10 to instill fear in people?

obviously..but not everyone is gullible..
too bad we xtians mostly buy the holy bible, not to read it but to hear the pastor dictate to us how to read it and from which angle

aliya247:
Sir, you lied against Jesus He never commended the the religious Jews rather, He said "woe to them (shame) Jesus never preached about tithe neither the disciples took tithe from anybody because tithe is Law and Jesus is the end of the Law. Romance 10:4

i had to like ur comment cox i see u obviously read and understand the bible u read. God will deliver us from these yahoo boi pastors with $2,000 3piece suits..

ZoneBslayer:
yes I AM an above average Nigerian reader.. did he say tithing was bad?? he simply said that there were more important things than tithing, which shouldn't be overlooked.. he ended up saying we should do those more important things as well as the less important ones..was that not obvious from the translations?? did he use parables there?

u stil have not answered the question. did JESUS endorse tithing in that passage or anywhere in the new testament?
coz sabinus like u will stil be the ones to quote IIcor 9:7 in one of ur evangelism sessions, yet stil claim tithing is very necessary for this and that..or this and that will not happen.

now lemme help u dissect Matthew 23:23 with respect to the emboldened in ur comment

23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

P.S: what i emboldened in the bible verse above is to clarify to u that jesus alredi stated that the tithing he referred to is subjected to the law alone(jewish customs), this is why he never endorsed it anywhere in that bible with u.

the pharisees were bound by the law, the essence of jesus' coming and the new testament is to deliver us from the curse of the law, wherein we were to do some things as jewish tradition demands(i.e necessities such as this same tithing). Ppl like nicodemus was reportedly faithful with the law, yet jesus said he must be born again. This is to say that his redemption goes way beyond his observance of obsolete jewish customs.
contrastingly, most yahoo boi pastors enslave ur conscience to tithing as if without it, you are finished. young man, this means u are stil bound by the law, which the grace of God allegedly is to redeem us from. This is the essence of IIcor9:7 and other parts of the new testament that advises us to give voluntarily, atleast to provoke God's blessings on us.
READ YOUR BIBLE!!!

ZoneBslayer:
isn't the various translations self explanatory already? Christ said that there were more important things like justice, equity and love.. but he didn't say tithing in itself was bad....jeez is comprehension that hard for the average Nigerian reader??

Mr. Above average Nigerian reader, does that mean he endorsed tithing?
Is it not implicitly clear why he likened the tithing to the Pharisees, the same ones who hold onto old testament traditions?

adecz:
Tithes are now used as a means of milking the masses to indulge the fantastic lives of the ogas.
You can be sure that billionaires do not pay the biblical tithes. They may make donations & offerings but no the 10%.

offering sef is not a religion protocol..
U voluntarily give and decide to whom that shud be..provided it helps humanity.
What's the use of giving to a church to acquire more ACs and pastoral Jets when half the congregation live below minimum wage level..
The 3Rd richest man in Ghana blivs in the xtian God..but he doesn't give tithes or offering to churches..
He helps the poor and needy occasionally with d same money churches cud av used to tile the auditorium with crazily expensive marble..
Guess what..!!
He gets richer by the day..than the ones who'll never help their fellow man in need, they rather take that moni to church and give d pastor..nd expect to be blessed without lifting a finger to work..
Argh..religion ignorance is worse than Sin

adecz:
We do not observe most biblical injunctions but when it comes to money matters, the Churches are so aggressive.

Tithes were crucial in those days because the chosen ppl that looked after places of worship were commanded to do nothing else, so tithing was important for their survival.

Now, most churches have strings of businesses & their G.O live extra large lives & do nothing for charity.

the ones that will build the Universities only Rich folks can attend...
Leaves me wondering if it was same God that told them to berra stil use the toil of the poor to serve d rich as well with d university idea..
Churches now see it a hallmark to av a university or they've not Done well..smh

dukecharles:
For Dangote, Emeka offor ,Opera, Bill Gate, Warren Buffet, Trump,Mark Zuckerberg, Adenuga, I can go on and on.

Stop letting yahoo yahoo Pastors deceive you. After,they will use ur tithe and pay prostitutes,lodge in expensive hotels with girls and even buy cars for 'em. Start thinking, Grace is a free gift of God, you don't secure it by tithing.

moreso, if at all, but by voluntary giving not tied to any religious propaganda..
I like dealing with ppl with objective perspectives..

IsheriNorthGRA:
Same with Deuteronony 14:23 he quoted. Why didn't add verse 22?

..I dint even bother with pointing out his nonsense with the old testament verses he maligned to support tithing, coz he shud know that all those quotes are old testament tinz..
If he's too daft to know, I'll not be stupid to debate dat with him..I av better debates to engage in

ceo12:
. JESUS was more of rebuking them, not to be like the Pharisees, that pay more attention to tithing instead of doing what is right. stop misleading people we read the same Bible

U can imagine..
shows these goons only read the Bible from their yahoo boi pastors point of view..

Funny enuf ppl like this OP are d ones never to miss church services who fink they are better xtians than the ones who are not as religiously stupid as they are.
Yet they lack basic contextual understandin of the book they claim to read always.

slurryeye:
This is my problem with my fellow Christian brethren. They know how to twist and modify the verses to suit what they want you to believe. As you all can see, most of the bible verses are from old testament, and the few one in the new testament talks about grace and not tithing. I have said and I will say it again, tithing is a Jewish tradition where landed tribes (other eleven tribes of Israel) gave part of the income to the Levites and Kohanim (the tribe that are priests). Unless a pastor shows me he has lineage to the levites, ain't paying no tithes

thanks jaree.. I was bou to call the OP an idiot.. But u jux said what's on my mind.
It's funny how we Christians select what and what not to call old testament tradition to suit our religious madness.
The Silly OP had to twist and rearranged Matthew 23:23 to desperately support tithing..
Infact, that Matthew 23:23 he quoted referred to tithing as a matter of little or no importance, sighting justice mercy and faithfulness as more important than one old Jewish tradition we av selfishly and blindly refuse to see it as not part of the new covenant.
It's even in modern day xtianity that we rigidly see tithing as giving out money to church and pastors ..when it was not so never will be.
I weep for Christianity

Yes you should.... because it time for me to count my loses and move on

Dear Nairalanders.
I want to bring to your notice about the demon called virtual football. The addictiveness to this game is closer to cocaine. This is a game where the odds are produced by the company, the results by them also.
How do u win?

I wonder how people will never notice, 30 persons standing in front of the counter playing, and only 2 gets lucky and win at least 1300.

There's no pattern, no safe bet. No sure odd
Even a bet of 1.20 fit kill u

This game steals your happiness
You cant eat, or buy clothes
It increases your blood pressure
Frustrates you
Keeps u in debt

If you play a number of bookings you may get lucky, at least u can target 2million with 200. Which will never be possible on virtuals.

Avoid Virtual Football, it kills.

Have u ever imagined how much the company makes every 5mins?
If there are 1million betting shops around Nigeria, and a customer loses 150 per shop. This is 150 million in just 5mins, you and know the losses are more.
Every day 100s of people crowd the counter nobody ever gets a constant win.


A word is enough, share your experiences..

Do we take it that u jux shared urs?

.

it's always GTB having issues with unauthorized transfers..this is why my GTB acct will always remain empty unless i wanna use it for sumtin at a given time, wherein the moni comes in and sublimes almost immediately. What a vulnerable bank

POLITELY i replied everyone the answers they seek via EMAIL? if you do not know how to use the PM function on nairaland. dont come here and talk rubbish.

EVERY OF THE 127 PEOPLE here have sent me msgs since the day i posted it and i replied them as best with the info and the direct websites i use and how i got the INFO.

so all your long epistle is worthless. I AM BUSY and i have done my part. BUT IF YOU SEND ME PM THERE IS NO WAY YOU SHOULD EXPECT ME TO ANSWER YOU.

BYE

lolz...u must feel so paranoid to fink i'll need ur help on business ideas....
fink of it,,..if i needed ur help..will i tackle u?..lolz
there is no need to brag young man, but i'll advice u look for peeps of ur income level to engage in debates...

cremedelacreme:
Much as i do not support MMM or any Ponzi scheme, but these guys will just be quoting figures anyhow. How did NDIC arrive at this figure?

Coz they lost in MMM too

greatnaija01:
bros am already making money. i am legit and i can tell you i do not need your money. but i can do a feasibility for you if you send me your location and the calibre of people who live in your area... I may be able to tell you what will work for you sir. this is naija,if we want to help each other i believe it should be free. MANY have contacted me already and i told them how i got my info from youtube and a special website for downloading such importation ebooks. I do not sell or write such ebooks i just stumbled on them one lazy day and it opened my eyes and i make hard cash now.

ppl interested in the line of business u mentioned av politely asked u severally what type of goods u import..
U keep dribbling dem outta d simple nd straight answer.

U claim u're in a different terrain, then tel dem what u import. It's not only ppl in ur area who u sell whatever u offer them dat needs whatever it is..
Ppl need it elsewhere too.. Someone somewhere needs the idea to use in his or her location, if it'll work for dem..but u're here playing smart as if u become richer or a better businessman by hiding whatever it is u sell..
This is one Nigerian factor u exhibited.. Not cool I must say..
If 1000ppl begin to sell whatever u sell currently.. No body fit sell ur moni join him own...get dat...

Dangote, otedola, gates, dantata, Ambani et al.
Dint get to be billionaires Cox they offered services nobody ever offered by hiding dem...but coz they gave a different approach to existing services or invented berra ways to actualize ideas...

U claim wat sells for u might not sell for dem..
Yet u refused to reveal whatever it is u deal in...as if no1 deals in dat area currently too..

It is typical Naija habits like this that makes ppl not trust a Nigerian who outrightly reveals an avenue by which he makes moni...coz by default..Nigerians hardly do dat..

Simply answer these peeps the goddamn question dey seek nd get Ova with mehn..
