Adaowerri111:so paying tithe is obeying God |
kenonze:honestly you deserve slap...... very hot one |
Moneyyy:You no go shut up |
yourexcellency:They are gradually showing their faces 4 nineteen |
kenonze:Hahahahahahaha, hope u know say u get bad mouth ? |
otipoju:it says shall we continue in sin (not to sin). apostle Paul was talking about the sin nature that human race are into already, the sin that Adam bought for us, we were brought into this world in sin and we continue in this sin, until we accept Christ through whom sin is forgiven. A child born into this world today is born into sin, hope you know that. What God did for Abraham was not dependent on how him and his family lived. it was dependent on God's promises to Abraham and on Abraham's faith on God. why are you finding it too hard to understand ? |
sarrki:who is breaking the law here ? |
otipoju:you amaze me, but I won't say anything further, you better read the bible and know better. the only thing Abraham did was his faith and believe in God that the promises will come true. Abraham did not do any other to help or please God, just believe. and that is what Christ brought too, faith to replace law and works. no matter your works if you don't believe in the resurrected Christ you are still in your sin. Even that circumcission you mentioned is no longer valid or important for Christian, they are all shadows, the real deal has come, and that is Jesus Christ. |
otipoju:Abraham was made a promise by God that he will make him the father of all nation, that he will bless his seeds and they shall be like the stars of heaven. Now listen very well ny friend, when God vow and pronise to do sonething for anyone he has choosen, you are not expected to do anything for the vow to come to pass other than to have faith and beleive on the promises of. Abraham was man of faith, that was what God saw in him. Please stop saying what you dont know, ask your pastor if you cant read the bible on your own |
YelloweWest:you said it is disobedience to pay tithe as a christain, and disobedience is a sin, infact that was the sin the first man(adam) committed that made all human race sinners. Then by your statement, you said not paying tithe wont deny one heaven. So from all you have said it doesnt matter whether we pay or we dont pay tithe. But why do the pastors and church leader lay greater importance on tithe, sone have even gone so far as to tell their member that they will go to hellfire if they dont pay their tithe. Isnt that fraud, lying and preaching of falsehood?? |
YelloweWest:let me ask, will not paying tithe deny someone heaven ? |
YelloweWest:you are an example of what apostle Paul called BABY CHRISTIAN |
YelloweWest:Me spreading falsehood? what has tithe got to do with repentance ? if anyone has told you that paying tithe will fetch you heaven and you believed him, then you need to start afresh, cos your foundation is not well laid, your faith has been corrupted |
YelloweWest:you mean messenger of God? OK, but you sound far from the bible. you don't even seem to know the origin of tithe and why it was paid then |
YelloweWest:So Jesus Christ or the apostle commanded people to pay tithe in Malachi 3
Hope you people are seeing it. Jesus Christ was in Malachi 3, OK kontinu |
pojok:that's a strong one, why calling him a fool, just show him the real thing if you know it from the bible. Remain blessed |
anochuko01:Here Christ was speaking to them concerning their law, cos they were still under that law till his death on the cross, ......but you have ignored/neglected the more important aspect of that law they were practising. here Christ speaking of their hypocrisy which is cherrypicking the law, doing one and leaving the other, in fact from this verse tithing wasn't one of the important aspect of that law they were given. the important ones are justice, mercy, faith. But this shouldn't be a problem since it is all about the law which didn't make anything perfect, Christ's death and resurrection did what the law couldn't do.I , I mean I, am not under the law |
YelloweWest:is there anywhere in the bible where Christian were commanded by our lord Jesus Christ or the apostle to pay tithe ? |
anochuko01:That's not correct. Good, the priesthood is changed, Jesus is the new priest now and he remains this priest forever, he can't be replaced or substituted and no one stand on his behalf in doing the work of the high priest. If you read Hebrew 7 well you will see that when a new priest(Jesus Christ) who came from another tribe moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood ( which is the Levi), when this priesthood is changed there is also change in the rules and laws regarding the priest. Other priest who served before were not perfect and so was their work. in fact go and read your Bible. you have read Heb 7:1-10, then continue from vs 11 to end to get the teaching in Heb7. Hebrew7:11-28 " Now if perfection [a perfect fellowship between God and the worshiper] had been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people were given the Law) what further need was there for another and different kind of priest to arise, one in the manner of Melchizedek, rather than one appointed to the order of Aaron? For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is of necessity a change of the law [concerning the priesthood] as well. For the One of whom these things are said belonged [not to the priestly line of Levi but] to another tribe, from which no one has officiated or served at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord descended from [the tribe of] Judah, and Moses mentioned nothing about priests in connection with that tribe. And this becomes even more evident if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, who has become a priest , not on the basis of a physical and legal requirement in the Law [concerning his ancestry as a descendant of Levi], but on the basis of the power of an indestructible and endless life. For it is attested [by God] of Him, For, on the one hand, a former commandment is cancelled because of its weakness and uselessness [because of its inability to justify the sinner before God] (for the Law never made anything perfect); while on the other hand a better hope is introduced through which we now continually draw near to God. And indeed it was not without the taking of an oath [that Christ was made priest] (for those Levites who formerly became priests [received their office] without [its being confirmed by the taking of] an oath, but this One [was designated] with an oath through the One who said to Him, And so [because of the oath’s greater strength and force] Jesus has become the certain guarantee of a better covenant [a more excellent and more advantageous agreement; one that will never be replaced or annulled]. The [former successive line of] priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were each prevented by death from continuing [perpetually in office]; but, on the other hand, Jesus holds His priesthood permanently and without change, because He lives on forever. Therefore He is able also to save forever (completely, perfectly, for eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede and intervene on their behalf [with God]. It was fitting for us to have such a High Priest [perfectly adapted to our needs], holy, blameless, unstained [by sin], separated from sinners and exalted higher than the heavens; who has no day by day need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices, first of all for his own [personal] sins and then for those of the people, because He [met all the requirements and] did this once for all when He offered up Himself [as a willing sacrifice]. For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak [frail, sinful, dying men], but the word of the oath [of God], which came after [the institution of] the Law, permanently appoints [as priest] a Son who has been made perfect forever. |
YelloweWest:Yes it is, likewise animal sacrifice, and stoning and killing of your child when he or she insults you |
SnowJay92:Nice question. so avoiding the lake of fire is now based on paying tithe and no longer about the finish work of Christ? some don't even know that God doesn't need your money, he expect you to help your neighbour with it |
An2elect2:No need telling them what they can't understand, they will only call you names, but won't ask you to explain or Atleast to prove it from the scripture |
otipoju:why is no one quoting the tithing done in Deuteronomy ? Deu 14:22-29 " Make an offering of ten percent, a tithe, of all the produce which grows in your fields year after year. Bring this into the Presence of GOD, your God, at the place he designates for worship and there eat the tithe from your grain, wine, and oil and the firstborn from your herds and flocks. In this way you will learn to live in deep reverence before GOD, your God, as long as you live. But if the place GOD, your God, designates for worship is too far away and you can’t carry your tithe that far, GOD, your God, will still bless you: exchange your tithe for money and take the money to the place GOD, your God, has chosen to be worshiped. Use the money to buy anything you want: cattle, sheep, wine, or beer—anything that looks good to you. You and your family can then feast in the Presence of GOD, your God, and have a good time. Meanwhile, don’t forget to take good care of the Levites who live in your towns; they won’t get any property or inheritance of their own as you will. At the end of every third year, gather the tithe from all your produce of that year and put it aside in storage. Keep it in reserve for the Levite who won’t get any property or inheritance as you will, and for the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow who live in your neighborhood. That way they’ll have plenty to eat and GOD, your God, will bless you in all your work" Here the tither was asked to eat his tithe before the presence of God, so he will learn how to reverence God for what they have gotten from the land the lord has given to them. |
otipoju:why was tithe paid then |
otipoju:from your fact one: Abraham gave tithe of the spoilt of war from the rescue of the kings. He was not commanded to do that, and after given to Melchizedek, he didn't keep anyone to himself, he gave the rest back to the kings who were the original owner of those things Abraham brought. So Abraham wasn't commanded by God to give anything. Your fact two: Abraham's regular gift to strangers made Sarah conceived, Hahahahahahaha. Sarah conceived based on the promises of God to Abraham. God said to him, I will BLess and multiply thee, and shall be the father of all nation. so what you are saying if Abraham hadn't been generous, Sarah wouldn't have conceived?? lolz are you sure you are a Christian or just attending church and quoting your pastor |
Kentura:between you and the person you were abusing, who really opens the bible on his or her own to study? some don't even know what tithe is, who should pay it, for what purpose, who were commanded to pay the tithe, to whom should the tithe be paid. it only takes good bible scholar to spot the tithe fraud, majority of the people don't even know about that. |
otipoju:so you are trying to say that what Abraham gave was what increased him, ? lolz |
Sarang:when they start reasoning/doubting the teaching. Which one is doubting Jehovah kwa ? |
ismokeweed:Sanusi. na educated Muslim. he isn't like those cut and join fellows. surely the girl too wont lag behind |
Sarkki:that's called being pragmatic, ie calling a spade a spade and not shovel Certainly you are the one practising Hypocrisy |
if only they will listen to him |
Sarang:so what happens to them if people are not disfellowship base on rejecting or doubting the teachings |
Hope you people are seeing it. Jesus Christ was in Malachi 3, OK kontinu
