ADO2004:
■ Love one another just as Christ love you.

In the same context from which you lifted that statement, Jesus Christ explained that the only ones He loved were those amongst them who continuously submitted to and obeyed His teachings and commandments - those holy among them. Surely, you realize that it is only those who are holy by the Law that is Jesus Christ — loved by Him — that can obey that command which you quoted.

Elolam87:
Love one another

Wrong!

You seem here to be speaking from both sides of you mouth.
Now what do you say about tithe?

The issue is very simple for even you to reason out for yourself. According to Jesus Christ, those who love Him and are loved by Him are those who obey His teachings and commandments.

15 “If you love me, you will do what I command.
16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper[a] to be with you forever.
17 The Helper is the Spirit of truth. The people of the world cannot accept him, because they don’t see him or know him. But you know him. He lives with you, and he will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you all alone like orphans. I will come back to you.
19 In a very short time the people in the world will not see me anymore. But you will see me. You will live because I live.
20 On that day you will know that I am in the Father. You will know that you are in me and I am in you.
21 Those who really love me are the ones who not only know my commands but also obey them. My Father will love such people, and I will love them. I will make myself known to them.”
22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “Lord, how will you make yourself known to us, but not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered, “All who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. My Father and I will come to them and live with them.
24 But anyone who does not love me does not obey my teaching. This teaching that you hear is not really mine. It is from my Father who sent me. - John 14 vs 15 - 24

The very same message above is found in the following places as well - John 15 vs 7 - 15 & John 8 vs 31 - 44.

Now tell us,
▶ Where in all of His Gospels did Jesus Christ command you to bring Tithes and offerings — both of them of a system defined instead in the Old Law of Moses — using His name?
▶ Where in the Gospels did Jesus Christ command His followers to collect Tithes and offerings — both of them of a system defined instead in the Old Law of Moses — using His Name?

Mandesz:
Yes. I remember we're thought this in my CRK in jss2 with the topic THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST. I can read it by heart since then because it's a memory verse for all the class.

All you were taught were a bunch of lies cobbled up from religious theories !

Nukilia:
■ Are Africans being deceived by the European religion conjecture? They brought the Bible to us but took our land in return. They made their country like heaven but they delude us to wait for an heaven in the sky. Have we been conned?

You conned your own selves by refusing to in fact read the book you had in your hand to learn fact from fiction as far as what is contained in the book and the stories you were fed.

sulem4u:
Itemize the commandments just as we know the 10 commandments of Moses...

Why don't you do it for us instead?

donmik:
■ The summary of His command remains to love God above all (fear).
■ And to love your neighbours as yourself

1. There is no summary of His commands in Jesus Christ or He wouldn't be regarded as a path to redemption for men.

2. This is also a lie! The commandment you quote here is instead contained in the Old Law of Moses - Leviticus 19 vs 18 - and not Jesus Christ, the New Law.

Emeka71:
Preach goodness.

Stop rambling! He never sent anyone out to preach "goodness". Whoever told you that lie does not know Jesus Christ. Recall that Jesus Christ made clear that He is not good. How can you claim to preach 'goodness' in the name of one who said He is not good?

That's a mere say u don't know it all.
That believe has made u so poor that u remain on a spot.
The best religion is your religion from Saudi Arabia that's built on terrorism and religious violence. The self acclaimed "religion of piece".
What a name!!
How peaceful the world would have been without Islam.

Mandesz:

Stop rambling! I know one thing for sure which is that God doesn't lie which means what you were taught are of lies.

[quote author=Kobojunkie post=130035191]Rubbish!

Define what it means to be a "good" person, and you realize how that is silly reasoning on the part of those who cling to such a delusion. A "good" person in southern Nigeria is not necessarily a "good" person in Northern Nigeria. The idea of what constitutes good changes depending on the climes you find yourself in, so what makes you think that just being a good person makes sense as far as God is concerned?



Firstly, You are mistaken morals, ethics, norms and values as a yardstick for the measurement of good,,,,it is not!

Secondly, I am not religious (atal), as a consequence, I still have my thinking faculty and common sense intact.
Maybe if you think with your own brain and not be so gullible, you would mature to be a good person(with ot without religion)

And your last statement makes absolutely no sense,,, if being a good person is not reasonable to your God,, he wouldn't have chosen Abraham,,, Go and read Genesis in your Bible

Here's a simple question for you then. What makes a person good?

Congrats!
They're lies to even when Jesus was mentioned in the Quran many times and even predicted his coming.
Bible never mentioned Mohammed once!
That's to tell u the uselessness of the prophet.

Hahaha, U see this fool that's just here to argue without any knowledge of the scripture

Mandesz:
■ Hahaha, U see this fool that's just here to argue without any knowledge of the scripture

So, never mind that I clearly pointed out where the commandment comes from, you would rather blindly believe that in your blatant ignorance of this fact, you know scripture?

WOW... Religion and mindfuckery do indeed go hand in hand.

The commandment Christ gave to his disciples is to love one another

John 13:34-35
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

John the apostle emphasis this commandment

I john 3:23
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

2 John 1:6
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

In recent time in my walk with God, I have found out that that walking in love is the summary of the Christian faith.. 1 Cor 13 describes what it means to walk in this God kind of love as commanded by Christ.So everyday I ask the HolyGhost to help me grow in the fruit called love.

Hanndye:
You seem here to be speaking from both sides of you mouth.
Now what do you say about tithe?

Today's christians and trivialities just as the Pharisees.

chatinent:
I like the tales of Jesus.


But you see, if you were born in India or China, or major Asian countries, you may never get to hear about Jesus until you are in high school, read books, or surf the internet. And that means you may never be a Christian. Before you attack me, I hope you know the Asians live the longest?

Nigerian Christians love to side against whoever the Isrealis are warring against. Why? They see them as the same biblical Isrealites. But do you know that the Isrealis do not believe in Jesus? I mean, they do not believe the foretold Jesus was the one Christians believe who came. When you pray and end your prayer with the regular "in Jesus name" near an Israeli person, they laugh at you and ridicule you. They tell you why you'd pray to a son of a carpenter and not to God direct.


And also, no matter how righteous or faithful you are, you cannot really explain how Jesus was born. You'd only explain what you were told or read because you don't have a voice of your own. That God transferred the life of his son in heaven to a virgin's womb and it became Jesus and ....and what? To be born to come die for our sins? Why did he need to die when Satan could have been killed? What is sin actually or how did it start? No bi God still put the fruit for garden wey result to sin? Even after that, he was recorded discussing with Satan to test Job who did absolutely nothing!


Even after Jesus died, sin continued and we still die after all.

Why!

Since the prophecy said he'd die, why was Judas and Peter scapegoats?


Doesn't make sense.


Respect to those who wants to do the right thing and use Christianity as backbone tho

Great Insight, King.


You Have Opened And Outpoured My Mind.


Ignore Those Quoting You Wrongly.

They See The Truth Already; But They Are Too Scared To Dare Themselves!

To Them - "HELL FIRE IS REAL" And They're In Captive of That Belief!

Exactly my point since he was talking about what Jesus teaches compared to what the Bible says generally.
