Christianity Etc › Re: What The Bible Says About Drinking Alcohol (wine) by anonimi: 12:57pm On Aug 11, 2013
sseunth: well,to me drinking is not the sin.....geting drunk is the sin
And that is what the Bible says.
QED!

Even under the OT laws, Jews were EXPECTED to convert their farm harvest tithes to money, which could be used to buy alcohol at the place where God is. However the coming and death of Christ has FULFILLED THE law.

The Law of the Tithe
22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. 23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. 24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee: 25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: 26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, 27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee. 28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: 29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

[quote author=m.k.o2005]If you can test the words or lectures of the pastor as u put it,and discover it does not conform with the word of God,what will you still be doing there ? The only way you can remain under a wrong teaching is only wen you urself is ignorant of what the WORD is saying !
The assembling together is that of belivers of the WORD OF GOD !An outsider may not also see that gathering as a gathering where he should be becos HE does not 'believe' in the word the gatherers believe on !
God help us[/quote]And how many people in your "assembling together" do you actually notice that are NOT ignorant of the word of God, which as you know is very different from the pastor's personal INTERPRETATION of the word huh

[quote author=m.k.o2005]Having such strict laws of taxation on the churches will only hinder the spread of Christianity and little wonder we have them just very very few in Germany ? The mega churches that might not be genuine will meet up with these tax as they can even go borrowing from banks to pay their taxes hoping things will improve soon ! So what happens to the genuine 'mushroom churches' ? In every fake,there are original some where. Allow them all to operate,spreading the gospel and some day,the fake ones will be exposed and go into oblivion. Whether there will be fake,that is certain becos if we don't have them around it will just mean that Christ lied and we all know that God can not lie ![/quote]Yet Germany has one of the most resilient economies in Europe compared to the recession-hit, more religious European countries like Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, France etc.
Is this something you can reflect on huh

God help us
Can you be very specific as to how you want God to help us?
Maybe you can start by finding out how He helped the western Europeans some 700-500 years ago!


ogaju007: MKO they have good churches in Germany that preach the true word of God and even donate for places like Nigeria but they don't have pastors living like Jayz and beyounce.

[quote author=soj-naija]The Bible tells us to "Forsake not the gathering together of ourselves" you shud also have read or heard that Jesus taught in synagogues (church buildings) same as peter, paul and other apostles. thats why we need to gather in church.[/quote]1. Synagogues are not churches.
2. The teaching of Christ in diverse places, both inside and OUTSIDE the syangogues, is not at all similar to the sermonised INSTRUCTIONS being dished out today in churches on how to prosper and do well for YOURSELF aka prosperity gospel with little or no concern for your neighbour and the society in which you live!!!

Hemical: So, the other day I was in this church and there was this man dancing and graciously giving his offering. The pastor even prayed that his business continues to flourish. He made a large donation for the church's new expansion project. I knew I had seen the man somewhere. I tried to recollect. It didn't come early enough but then, it struck me. He was one of the robbers who came to rob our house the other night. He's even being prayed for to have a flourishing business. They killed our gateman that night. The gateman's wife was pregnant. I went to make inquiries after service, everyone said the man is a business-man but they don't know his kind of business. It's no one's fault though. Just wish they knew more about him. There are thieves everywhere. Just wish people will ask more questions. Maybe our gateman will still be alive and his baby will still have a father. I called the police. They arrested him the next sunday, he confessed to the crime.
Thanks for your very good testimony of using your God given brain and talent to contribute to the growth and devlopment of our society rather than SIMPLY praying for God again to come down and save us from ourselves.
How good and pleasant our country will be if there were others behaving like you!

The pastor being "human & highly fallible" was not omniscience as to be all-knowing that a thief was his big "tither".

[quote author=m.k.o2005]The bible admonishes us to always fellowship with fellow believers !
Hebrews 10:25''not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near''.
Pastors are humans who also are not 100 percent sure they will make it into heaven. That is the reason we don't have to believe the word of the pastor but only the word of God bein spoken or made known to us through the true pastors. How do you know the pastor is speaking the word of God ? You too MUST be knowledgeable in God's word !

To ask churches as in the organism, with Christ as the head to pay tax is injustice of the highest order ! 1. Bible did not support it 2.

Such as the glorified pamphlets called books, expensively outrageous school fess etc huh


5.Members can decide to stop tithing or giving offerings in churches so where will the church organization tax come from ?
If u are a christian,learn to work with God and not against HIM in the name of civilization !

God help us
Any body that makes money declares how much he made and is taxed accordingly.
So if people stop paying their offerings and unBiblical tithes to the church then there will be nothing to tax.

The word of God is there for us to study ! Pastors can't teach you all things ! They can only guide you but it behooves on you to have a personal tete a teta with ur God ! If you study to have a relationship with God,by now you should be praying for the church of God,trying to give fellow christians godly counsels and praying that God should also expose those refusing to change,that the wheat be separated from the chaff so 'we'don't fall pray ! There is no perfect church but all working towards perfection.If you are a christian,tell me the name of ur church or denomination so i can show u their negative sides ! Pray ! pray ! pray ! for the church of God !

So why do you NEED to go to church and be "ministered upon" by some pastor who is not God and is "highly fallible" when the words of God that he refers to are avaliable for you also to read and understand huh

[quote author=soj-naija]You have twisted it. now iF the Colonel pay Tithe out of stolen money or give to Charity out of stolen money or paid you "Anomini" out of stolen money for a service you rendered. who is at fault for stealing? the Colonel or You? is the Colonel of course!![/quote]So what service did (does) the church render to warrant the multi-million paid it by the thieving colonel and others who might have robbed the government of its due taxes that will be used to provide BASIC services for EVERY member of the society?
Services such as

- potable water,
- free & COMPULSORY primary, vocational & secondary education for ALL children
- good roads.
- free primary health care



Jesus did NOT say to pay Ceaser "first", He only said to ensure you pay what is due to all and sundry.
infact, let me teach you a little tax trick, if you donate to a registered Charity, that donation is deductible when assessing your tax, same thing applies to contributions to a registered church, (You can start using cheques for your tithes - if you believe in tithes at all- then you can show your bank statement to the tax authority to get tax relief)
I will leave you with your semantic tricks on what Jesus said and how He said it about paying taxes to government first BEFORE you can pay God.
I believe it is written somewhere that

How can you claim to love God whom you do not see when you cannot love your neighbour whom you see?
Thanks for your tax trick. I don't need it.
Can you compare the community work of your church, that is a registered charity and for which tithers & donors can use YOUR tax TRICK, with the works of the Catholics, Anglicans, Baptist, CMS, Seventh Day, Ahmadiyya, Ansar-u-Deen etc in providing cheap primary, vocational and secondary schools as well as hospitals huh
I do not recall that these churches and mosques were asking their members to use YOUR tax TRICK while they were raising money from them to do these good works.
Those who want to deceive themselves can continue to do so.
The words of God are clear as to how to serve Him!!!

[quote author=m.k.o2005]The bible admonishes Christians to pay their tax. Your tax is expected to hav been deducted from your salary before you receive it at the end of the month if u are a salary earner(pay as u earn).For bizness people,you also know how u pay your tax to Fashola if u are a Lagosian.
So,wetin concern pastor or the church whether dem don deduct ur tax before you bring ur offering or tithe to church ? My pastor does not know if i tithe or give offering every Sunday that i'm in church !

GOD HELP US[/quote]Interesting!
E nor concern you & e nor concern your pastorif the church members bringing offerings and unBiblical tithes have not paid taxes adequately & appropriately to the government, right huh

If your pastor does not know because he is unable to know, how come he is your representative of God, the omniscience i.e. all knowing?
Are you not better off worshipping God in truth & in spirit as Christ recommended in John 4?

[quote author=soj-naija][b]I work in the Accounts Department of a moderate size RCCG church in Gbagada, Lagos... the total tithes CHEQUES received just last week 4/8/2013 was N=17,400,000 (N=17.4 million naira. two (2) of the cheques were value N=8.1 million naira each.
There are people whose businesses yield a profit of N=10million monthly and therefore can afford to N=1 million as tithe.
I know some of our members who pay upfront tithe of N=12million at the begining of the year, all they do later is pay up the shortfall as the year roll.
My point is that many people make N=150 million LEGITIMATELY every month/Year in Nigeria.(some of them are Christians, some Moslems, and some are pagans and Atheists).
The Colonel may choose to pay tithe to Winners Chapel, just like He may choose to donate it to anoda church or mosque or shrine or charity or orphanage.. The criminal here (as claimed by the martial court) is the Colonel, NOT the recipient (church). We can make noise only IF the church is ordered to make a refund and they refuse.[/b][/quote]Na wa for your TWISTED analysis and logic.
So the colonel chose "to pay tithe" out of stolen money huh

Did these people pay APPROPRIATE and ALL taxes to the government before paying their tithes and offering to their God as per the standard established by Jesus Christ when He said:

Give unto Ceasar (government) what is Ceasar's (taxes) and (ONLY thereafter) give unto God what is God's.

3ace: I just smile each time people say pastors should scrutinise the donations of church members. How many of you will not take offence if you're being interrogated about the money you made legitimately? How many of you will maintain the initial friendly mood with which you came before being asked the question? Some things are easier said than done. Except the person is your child, it will be difficult to look the person in the eye and say "where did you get the money from?". Even if a pastor summons the courage to ask, what is the guarantee that a thief will tell you he stole it? I see no sense in pastors being indicted except it's been confirmed that such pastors connived to perfect the illegal act. The highest they can do if the pastor is not guilty is to ask for a refund. Simple!
I thought the whole premise of worshiping these MoGs (christian, muslim, animist) is that they are God's representative on earth and as such are endowed with super human powers to see visions etc huh
Abi God nor talk sey im don sabi us even from when we bin dey inside our mama im womb?

Interesting reflection of our values!!!
Indeed in a land of mumus a governor who has been in power for over six years with some N=3 trillion (3,000,000,000,000) down the budget drain along with his 57 LCDAs is "excellent".

It does not matter that he has NOT addressed the very BASIC issues of everyday life for the residents of his state from whom he derives 60% of his budgeted revenue in the form of IGR. The very BASIC things such as

* potable water,
* primary, vocational and secondary education,
* feeder roads


that are the RESPONSIBILITY of the state and LGAs as per the 1999 constitution amended to date.


I refuse to be part of people with short memories and hence celebrate MEDIOCRITY (average performance) that targets impacts less than 20% of the state over which he governs.
I reject such!!!

The substantive point is that there is a time and a place for everything. The report says that Fayemi is assisting these six students from his private purse.

We have to take this singular act of charity on its won merit and refrain from linking it with everything wrong with the education system which is another topic entirely and one which must be dealt with minus a desire to indict Fayemi based on his choice as a private citizen.
You smart gan ni, nor be small. Whoever you work for is getting his money's value.
In a country mostly populated by lazy people who can't research or simply take a little effort to find out things for themselves people like you will continue to be looked up to even if you are spinning incoherent things with a lot of colour.

[quote author=m-ployer]I see no racism here. Oprah's appearance, conduct and probably skin colour may hav communicated "low class" . The attendant was only using her initiative, though she missed it. Nobody is hating on anyone. I guess she was just trying to save Oprah some embarrassment but ended up doing the opposite. Oprah is the racist here.[/quote]Well the shop has issued an apology.

GENEVA (AP) — Oprah Winfrey says she had a racist encounter while shopping in Switzerland — and the national tourist office and the shop owner have apologized.

The billionaire media mogul told the U.S. program "Entertainment Tonight" that a shop assistant in Zurich refused to show her a black handbag priced at $38,000 because "you will not be able to afford that."

Forbes magazine estimates that Winfrey earned $77 million in the year ending in June.

Winfrey was in town to attend last month's wedding of her longtime pal Tina Turner, who lives in a chateau along Lake Zurich.

"We are very sorry for what happened to her, of course, because we think all of our guests and clients should be treated respectfully, in a professional way," Daniela Baer, a spokeswoman for the Swiss tourism office, told The Associated Press on Friday.

The tourism office also posted an apology on Twitter, saying "this person acted terribly wrong."

Shop owner Trudie Goetz told the BBC that an assistant had shown Winfrey several other items before the "misunderstanding" over the bag, which was kept behind a screen. The Blick newspaper quoted Goetz as saying the bag was priced at 35,000 Swiss francs ($38,000).

She also told Blick that she was "truly sorry" because her staff are well-trained to treat customers well.

"I have to admit that the employee is Italian. Of course, she speaks English, but not as well as her mother tongue," Goetz was quoted as saying. "It was a real misunderstanding."

Winfrey was involved in another retail rebuff in Paris in 2005, when she was turned away from a Hermes boutique 15 minutes after closing time. The store said it was closed for a private public relations event.

A Hermes executive appeared on her talk show to apologize for the "rigid and rude" behavior of the employee. Winfrey complimented Hermes on its handling of the incident — including sensitivity training for employees — and urged viewers to continue to buy the company's products.

The price of the bag Winfrey wntd to purchase was too exorbitant (equivalent to the price of a car). so the salesgirl ws only tryin to advise her as a client to go for a cheap affordable commodity because she nvr knew that Winfrey is a moneybag. so it is foolhardy for anyone to translate wht happened in zurich as racism.
Right there for you highlighted is the racism.
*Does she need to know if Oprah Winfrey "is a moneybag"?
*Did the salesgirl LIKELY conclude that Oprah is too poor to afford the bag i.e. not "a moneybag" because she is black?
*How many non-blacks do YOU THINK she has "advised" to buy cheaper article when they chose an expensive item?
* Is it a shop/company policy to advise clients to buy cheaper article when they choose an expensive item and have not said they cannot pay the price?

It is UNLIKELY that Oprah would have been treated in the same manner if she was an Asian or Arab woman!

This is why blacks need to do something about our COLLECTIVE growth.
Something similar to what Chief Obafemi Awolowo did in his six years (1954-1960) as Premier of the Western region.
Oprah is not doing badly in that regards with the many MEANINGFUL philantropic initiatives she does, particularly in education.


It might be useful to refresh our memories with this excerpt from Obama's recent comments on Trayvon's murder.

There are very few African American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me. There are very few African American men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to me -- at least before I was a senator. There are very few African Americans who haven't had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off.

BetaThings: Let Jonathan who made N300m by being lecturer, D Gov and Gov first explain how he made his money
He should tell us why he was set against publicising asset declaration by both him and Yaradua while he was VP
And the assets in the name of Patience, what are the details?
We also recall the case against Patience by EFCC that was scrubbed before 2011 elections
You should lead the way by showing us where Dr. Fayemi's PUBLIC asset declaration is as well as his personal income tax declaration for the three years he has been governor.
Then and only then will we know that you are SERIOUS!
Abi na only the fedeeral government get PUBLIC SERVANTS huh

obowunmi: They better find wives and husbands abroad and stay there.

Nigeria doesn't deserve thier brilliance. Find people to file citizenship papers for you and stay there. Good luck guys.
Just like so many others before them. Some of whom were even trained in Nigeria!!!

Dr. Fayemi has simply wasted the Ekiti state people's money that he stole while trying to impress the gullible ones who hail the gift of priviledges such as this foreign scholarship rather than ask for their right to free and COMPULSORY education of ALL children in Ekiti state.
Can you imagine an employee who is owed many months of salary BUT is given some food as Sallah/Christmas gift and saying the oga is good
huh
That is how most of us MUMUs think!!!

Are we really the mumus that Lagbaja called us huh


smartchoice:

He has refused to pay the State Scholarship and Bursary awards since his inception 3 years ago.
Yet he's doubled tuition fees increased taxes!
Though he promised to reduce EKSU tuition fees on his swearing in but alas the opposite is the case.
the teacher's salary increment he's also withdrawn which Segun Oni had been paying in full just like the Scholarship on merit!
He's collapsed the two state universities into one citing lack of funds. Yet he's building a private university in Ghana! While the citizens lack employment at home!
he's borrowed a record amount of 27billion naira with nothing commensurate to show for it. People say roads yes he resurfaced roads already created by Oni and Fayose!


Where is the borrowed 27 billion?
the teaching hospital is a death center! A trip to the maternity section will convince you.

When some of us identified, the bunch of FRAUDSTERS who have grouped together into ACN, very early for what they really are - Association of Conmen in Nigeria, those who did not understand what was going on joined their e-Propagandists to call us names. Hopefully eyes dey open small, small.

What % of Ekiti state school age children are OUT of (not attending) primary, vocational & secondary school huh

Is it the same Dr. Fayemi described below or some other governor huh

geeky_babe:

Seriously, I keep wondering where people get this 'fayemi is working' crap. Its so obvious dat most people who claim to be ekiti people especially here on NL don't live in Ado, or visit frequently. Pple just get stuff from all dis online blogs and make up story, and [b]fayemi is just so good with his PR and journalists. Always put himself in d news tru cheap publicity.I was born, bred, and I live in Ado Ekiti. Besides the construction of roads, there is nothing else he is doing in ekiti. Fayemi is a wasteful governor.
I. Spending d millions to build a new govt house on top of d mountain, whereas fayose just built d present govt house not up to 5years.
2. Wastes so much money on parties, burials, and unnecesry gatherings
3. He has no originality. He copies everything from aregbe and his other APC governors
4. He's bn so inhuman to teachers, local govt workers and health workers. The teaching hospital was better b4 he came.
5. The university (EKSU) has bn goin tru a lot of stress lately because of how he cut their allocation. Imagine merging 3 universities and then claiming that there is not enof money to manage d 1 he merged them to. Whereas dis universities were all doing fine b4 he came and merged them. He is now asking students to pay money anytime they like forgetting that it takes a lot of money to run a university.
6. Removed so many allowances from the EKSU lecturers salary, all in d name of their is no money. and yet, u keep wondering where all d money is going. Where as he is harnessing money for his election campaigns.


Come to Ekiti and ask the average taxi driver, or the market woman. Nobody is ready to vote for him again. Besides, if I know my ekiti people well, we CANNOT allow anyone rule a second time. Even FAYOSE with all d love he had can't win a second time.
Fayemi feels threatened. Dats why ACN/APC is doing all dis. MOB, deserves a right to primaries. APC can't win in Ekiti in 2014. [/b]
