"14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay or shouldn’t we?”

But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” 16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”

“Caesar’s,” they replied.

17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”

And they were amazed at him."

I honestly don't see no reasons churches shouldn't pay tax.

It is not written anywhere in the bible that churches should not pay tax.
Your churches are just greedy

Seconded, BOLDLY.If Oyedepo and co can amass much wealth on the heads of gullible idiots and operate private jets,they should be paying taxes, because they are running corporate business enterprises.
In China, charlatans like them won't have that slightest opportunity to operate as pulpit bandits.We need to borrow a leaf from China's book.

Many people are begining to see that this god thing is a fraud. It may be long, but god shall definitely lose popularity

The quoted scripture is not about the church but individuals irrespective of your beliefs as long as you're earning money you should pay tax. So instead of demanding the church to pay tax that scripture is to be applied as each person pays his or her tax the church is not a person but a group of worshipers!

Bla,bla,bla, you are just ranting.
God is greater than all and will remain forever.The problem is false prophets and teachers.

Who is the head of the church?
And who's lifestyle do you emulate?

It's true o. God will continue to live in the heads of his followers because of childhood indoctrinations.

If there was a law that every kid should be 18years before they get introduced to the God fallacy. I bet there can't be one who will believe in a fairy being.

The head is one person just as Tinubu is the head of Nigeria so if Tinubu pay his tax and i also paid mine what sense is there to ask Nigeria as a body to pay tax again?

Then keep your child in isolation until 18 years before allowing the child to mix with others in the society because God's standard is to help us COHABIT PEACEFULLY with our neighbours but since you don't want your own child to get such training then keep your child away from the society until it's 18+

God's standard is to help you cohabit peacefully? Which of the gods?

Allah that says you should kill the infidels.
Yahweh that himself was a warlord etc.
I guess you didn't know what the christian crusaders did in the early millennium.

"Cohabit peacefully" indeed. Keep playing.

I can take care of my kids. I'm talking of other kids with respect to your post

The post should have been fair if the OP had included all spiritual outfits including Osun , Okija and mosques.

When it comes to church, these people flex muscles.
They don't see other things the church is doing. Church is a charity organization. Imagine if only schools we have in Nigeria are government schools. How much can the government provide?

Simple question.
Is there a movement or a group that emulates Tinubu's lifestyle?
Do you emulate Tinubu's lifestyle or do you hold his command as an authority?

Pitting Tinubu and the mythical Jesus together is the peak of intelligence embarrassment.

That's the essence of doing your own findings before enrolling your child in school intelligent parents don't just assume that all schools are good to go!

This is what you need to understand before arguing!
Tinubu supposed to be our role model in this country as the number one man in Nigeria, for your information anywhere Tinubu goes throughout the earth he represents all Nigerians so whatever he does is assumed to be the same thing a Nigerian will hold dearly.

That's what it means to be a leader.

Jesus is the King of God's kingdom so all his disciples are subjects under his kingdom rule that's why we are following the standard he set for us. If all Nigerians are to follow Tinubu wholeheartedly as our leader Nigeria will become the best country throughout the world because everything will work out perfectly unless Tinubu is not good enough to lead.
Jesus is God's anointed King that's why we are to emulate his lifestyle, Tinubu should be able to set good example for Nigerians to follow.
