Will you help such a person in need, if he had asked you for help ?

Things are really getting worse in this country and people ain’t scared of after life again as here is becoming hell for an average Nigerian.

Sure friend... If I have the power to, by God's grace... I've gone through hell here myself first hand: depression or other worse things...

IceTrice01:
How do you know here's better? What judgement? I got tired and I have been praying to God to take my life, but maybe he's waiting or he doesnt want to answer me since he knows I can kill myself anytime I'm ready to meet with him, and it happens that I finally did it, so what severe judgement will I be taken different from been welcomed into heaven and looking for my mansion there?

Let no one deceive you, friend. Killing is a sin even if it's your own life. I know the worst here is better because of the words of Jesus, the Truth Himself. Even if it's greatly terrible, it's still temporary, but Hell fire is Permanent.

Please listen to Jesus:

Mark.9.43 - If your HAND causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--
Mark.9.44 - where "Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.'

Please, Change your thinking now, Repent and Surrender to Jesus totally ... I don't mean just playing church or religion... Give up everything and submit to God... I've gone through hell here myself, but I choose to go the way of eternal life by God's grace... It's not easy but it's worth it to see God in the End.

God can do All things!!! Have faith in God.

One can be sure if one just believes the Words of Jesus: it's either Heaven or Hell. I would doubt if that was from a pastor or any man. But God cannot lie. That's why we got to Repent before it gets late and obey Jesus according to the new testament to be saved from his coming Judgment because of sin.

Christianity Etc › Re: Most Pastors Would Rather Preach Tithing a Million Times Over Instead of These by anu3(op): 8:18pm On Dec 15, 2021

[quote author=petra1 post=108520783]Okay... Now you know my convictions from scriptures, especially the new testament, and I've heard yours. However, we don't agree on some things; all right.

Let me summarize before I close. The purpose of the writing is not to debate on tithing but to expose the false Christainity that majors on Tithing (Money/Mammon) more than what Jesus himself and the apostles emphasized majorly: the Cross and Total obedience to Jesus. That's it.

If I was a Pharisee (under the Law), I would tithe according to Matt.23:23, of course. But as a disciple of Jesus (under grace and truth, John 1:14,17), I give cheerfully, not just 10% but 100% of my whole life first (Luke 14:33), and possibly things in general, wisely: it could be 2%, 10%, 50%, 95%, just any percent, but must be cheerfully not by force or law.

That's how I understand the new covenant.

All right... Thanks for your time.

Take care.

[quote author=petra1 post=108518775][sub][/sub]

Thats your personal opinion. Tithes and offerings are eternal principles . Tithing existed before the law. the law was fir the Jews but Tithing came before the Jewish nation and religion . it came through our father Abraham

No, it's not my opinion. I focus on the new testament; and when I do read the old testament, I use the spirit of the new testament to understand so as not fall from grace through Jesus.

Only in Matt. 23:23, Jesus mentioned Tithing in a despising way to the Pharisees; but to his Disciples he taught Cheerful Giving............ Luke 6:38; 2 Cor. 9:7 (Paul)

2Cor.9.7 - Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Whether tithing or not is not the main thing. The Real thing is Obeying Jesus, taking up the Cross and Following Him. That's the main purpose of the message. I am not here to debate on tithing... Everyone should have their convictions. But for me it's NO, of course. Cos Jesus and the apostles didn't teach it.

They taught the Cross... And Total Repentance and Surrender to Jesus: dying to Self and the World. Luke 14:25... Philippians chapters 2 and 3.

I mentioned the example of Jesus exposing false christainity/religion, but you've refused to think a little about it.

And have I mentioned your church's name or any at all? If you follow Jesus, you need not be troubled with my message, friend. Jesus and the apostles taught Cheerful and secret giving; hence, Tithing is not compulsory.

All right...

Goodbye.

Hundredfold4lif:
Tithing! Tithing!! Tithing!!!
Why are unbelieving humans fight the Church so much?
You don't go to Church services. You don't give offering.
You don't pay/give tithe.
And you complain!
Somebody goes to Church.
Somebody gives Offering.
Somebody gives tithe.
And you are complaining!!!!!
Judas Iscariot complained like you!
But Jesus told him that he will always have the poor amongst complainants.
So, give to the poor. Don't pay tithe. Go and pay/give to the poor in your community. Coming here to bash on pastors and Churches over tithing is being a Devil's Advocate!

Friend, you know how Jesus exposed the Pharisees, Sadducees and Money changers in the temple? He was working for the devil right?

Please, see my reply to someone above; I need to write such to you too.

Think of this:

2Tim.4.2 - Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

2Tim.4.3 - For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

2Tim.4.4 - and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

So what is your problem? is it only tithes they preach in your church? if it's so it can only be because people like you are there who are tithe eaters. so he has to keep preaching it till you change
What is your Problem with tithing

Hello bro... Not sure if the message is for you; you might as well ignore it, and leave it for those who need it.

Anyway, my concern is about majoring on not just minors but even obsolete things and traditions of men; fooling people with a form of godliness for profit.

Tithing is old covenant: Total Surrender to Jesus and Cheerful Giving is New covenant

I wish we can have many doing and preaching the Cross and total obedience to Jesus as recorded in the new testament (new covenant life), instead of Tithing (old covenant) and observing human traditions.

All right...

Christianity Etc › Re: Most Pastors Would Rather Preach Tithing a Million Times Over Instead of These by anu3(op): 11:13am On Dec 14, 2021

First, forget about Tithing which is old covenant. Seek the reality of the New covenant which is:

Luke.14.33 - So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake ALL that he has cannot be My disciple.

DON'T LET ANY SMALL OR GREAT PASTOR FOOL YOU ANYMORE WITH THE BOOK OF MALACHI AND THE LAW.

Seek Jesus and obey Him, not trying to enrich Rich churches and pastors. Please, Give to the poor and needy instead.

May Jesus bless you.

Christianity Etc › Most Pastors Would Rather Preach Tithing a Million Times Over Instead of These by anu3(op): 11:10am On Dec 14, 2021

Luke.14.33 - So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake ALL that he has cannot be My disciple.

Matt.16.24 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Matt.16.25 - For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

Matt.16.26 - For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Seek Jesus and obey Him, not trying to please, support or enrich stinkingly Rich churches and pastors. Give to the poor and needy instead: wisely, though.

May Jesus bless you.

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ never indicated the love of wine as sin nor did He indicate that drunkenness would keep one from doing what God wants one to do.

It is not what we eat or drink that makes us unclean or sin against God. Instead it is the bad intentions of our heart, the lies and deceit that causes us to sin against God - Matthew 15 vs 15 - 20.. If I sit to drink down all my daily calories in one day, maybe while sitting in my own home, God is not going to condemn me for it.

Hmmm... You know, I won't argue, but maybe we shall get to start discussing after you must have truly or surely got converted in Christ and get grace to believe in the Epistles and the gospels of Christ equally: the Holy Spirit inspired all.

What is the purpose and motive behind this message If not to make men trust in their righteousness rather than what Christ has brought. She left gospel for fables. She should preach the gospel. This is not the gospel delivered to the apostles.

The gospel is that God's Own Son Purchased Eternal Life, believe and be saved.

I am not surprised though. It is what it is.

Friend, this is my first time of seeing her, and surely she's not perfect like other saints, but her speaking against artificiality is of the truth. Watch it closely to the end, she even demonstrated it to make clear.

Although, I don't believe in women taking men's ministry if that's what she does. But in that video she's got something of the truth, at least. I say that even as a bit of a Phonetician myself.

Well, so far, there are lots of elements of truth in what she said. Judging the spirit not just the letter: being artificial, acting, pretending, hypocrisy and other types of Lies are sins.

And even if you do speak like that one way or the other naturally or normally, at least don't become Proud and self-conscious.

You may just watch the video and see for yourself. As a self-taught English expert/Phonetician myself, I try to avoid artificiality and pride that comes with it.

[quote author=mastermaestro post=108200081]

Boarding schools are not bad, but always interview and observe your kids during visiting days and when they come home for holidays. While visiting them, take them to a corner, even inside your car. Check their body for bruises and marks. Remove their shirts and see things for yourself. It is your child we are talking about. Money doesn't raise children, parents do!

Right, maybe it's not always that bad, but I won't recommend boarding school to the children of my enemies. Cos I hope my enemies get converted and learn to train their children right themselves.

Others may disagree, fine. But for me, I won't. I attended two major boarding schools for my secondary school: so, I'm sure...

Besides, many know that they can care for their own children much better than
that of entrusting them with some random, 'educated', carefree strangers.

Christianity Etc › Was Xmas Born Of The Spirit Or Flesh? by anu3(op): 9:47am On Dec 04, 2021

No need to argue: what is born of the Spirit is Spirit, and what is born of the flesh is flesh.

I don't appreciate Christmas anymore because it's part of the traditions of men. You can't be a true Disciple of Jesus (Light) and appreciate what the world (religious Darkness appearing as light) appreciates.

We respect great pastors and churches more than God and His word, that's why we easily go astray just as they go astray for Money and the honour of the world.

Not to argue, but let's check ourselves to see if we truly belong to the truth or the world. For me, the test is in these The Four counts:

1. Did Jesus do it?

2. Did Jesus preach it?

3. Did the apostles do it?

4. Did the apostles preach it?

If it fails these four counts the rest of the world including Christendom may practice and preach it, but not for me in Jesus name. The same goes for tithing, Easter, etc.

Hence, I don't have special days: each day is equally special from God.

Col.2.16 - So don't let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new-moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.

Luke.16.15 - And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is HIGHLY esteemed among men is an ABOMINATION in the sight of God.

They are the same. The same Holy Spirit inspired both parts and all the scriptures. But sometimes things are hidden from us. It's worse when we don't read and understand the passages well.

Here is the summary according to my understanding:

Married = no sin committed (but be sure to face lots of distractions)

Unmarried = better cos you'll avoid lots of distractions that comes with it.

Now, I'm personally interested in marriage; but if God's will goes otherwise, I want to be willing to get grace to give it up like Paul and Barnabas for His sake.

The balance is in God's Word; in the world is confusion and useless arguments.

1Cor.7.27 - Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

1Cor.7.28 - But if you do get married, it is not a sin. And if a young woman gets married, it is not a sin. However, I am trying to spare you the extra problems that come with marriage.

1Cor.7.29 - Now let me say this, dear brothers and sisters: The time that remains is very short, so husbands should not let marriage be their major concern.

1Cor.7.30 - Happiness or sadness or wealth should not keep anyone from doing God's work.

1Cor.7.31 - Those in frequent contact with the things of the world should make good use of them without becoming attached to them, for this world and all it contains will pass away.

1Cor.7.32 - In everything you do, I want you to be free from the concerns of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord's work and thinking how to please him.

1Cor.7.33 - But a married man can't do that so well. He has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife.

1Cor.7.34 - His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be more devoted to the Lord in body and in spirit, while the married woman must be concerned about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband.

1Cor.7.35 - I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible.

1Cor.7.36 - But if a man thinks he ought to marry his fiancee because he has trouble controlling his passions and time is passing, it is all right; it is not a sin. Let them marry.

1Cor.7.37 - But if he has decided firmly not to marry and there is no urgency and he can control his passion, he does well not to marry.

1Cor.7.38 - So the person who marries does well, and the person who doesn't marry does even better.

How about going and standing in that deadly warfront?

Ok, maybe warfront of a corrupt system don't bother you; well, my advice is Seek God, obey him: seek His Kingdom first and He will guide you.

But I can guess right that God won't likely lead you into any of the following jobs with the level of corruption in this present World: soldier, police, lawyer, "political offices", pastor (of common churches), etc.

The way is to Seek God, He alone can help us in All things.

Hence, whether Rapture or death, still the same effect: judgement onto either eternal life or eternal death in hell. That's why Jesus said one must always Ready.

Heb.9.27 - And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Rev.22.11 - He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still."

Rev.22.12 - "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
