I've come to realize that people live fake lives on social media, lie about their personality and rub it on other people's face, most people are opposite of what they say on social media and that's very pathetic.

Let's try to be real for once please.

It is very rare to see an igbo man in his 20s or below that getting married, that is because he believes that he has not accomplished much to tie the knot with his heart throb. Even when they are ready. Well that is just the ideology.

This trending wedding photos of a Nigerian boy, who tied the knot with her "heart throb" in Aba, Abia state proved that it is possible after all.

A cousin to the 18 year old “groom” took to Facebook to shared the photos, while wishing her “kid bro” well.

She wrote:

“D lord doing …..join me to celebrate d newest youngest couple in town….am so glad you guys said I Do today…God bless your marriage my amiable kid bro…. Enjoy…”

The New Covenant (or New Testament) is the promise that God makes with humanity that He will forgive sin and restore fellowship with those whose hearts are turned toward Him. Jesus Christ is the mediator of the New Covenant, and His death on the cross is the basis of the promise (Luke 22:20 ). The New Covenant was predicted in the Old testament by prophets Moses, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.

The prophet Jeremiah predicted the New Covenant. “‘The day will come,’ says the Lord, ‘when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. . . . But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day,’ says the Lord. ‘I will put my law in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people’” ( Jeremiah 31:31 , 33). Jesus Christ came to fulfill the Law of Moses (Matthew 5:17 ) and to establish the New Covenant between God and His people. The Old Covenant was written in stone, but the New Covenant is written on our hearts. Entering the New Covenant is made possible only by faith in Christ, who shed His blood to take away the sins of the world ( John 1:29 ).

'I will put the law in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts.' does this mean the new covenant abolish the law?

I Love God above all as this is my first duty, and I love my neighbour as I love myself. For this is the summary of all laws

the Law will never end until the second coming of Christ, for this is what Christ himself said in Mathew, what Paul is trying teach us is that our total and complete submission to God not the law is what help us to fulfill or keep the law and ultimately achieve righteousness without which no one shall see the Lord.
our mortal flesh so powerful that only with help of the Holy Spirit from God can we fulfill or keep the law I.e defeat flesh.

onojiwizardgmailcom:
(a) For Christ is the end of the law (b) for righteousness to every one that believeth. (Romans 10:4)KJV
(a) Paul was just restating what Christ said in Mathew where he said he came to fulfil the law, which I already told you that Christ was talking about his second coming.
(b) Paul is talking about what i stated in my first post, that believing (faith) in God (Christ) bore the Holy Spirit in you, which leads to the fulfilment of the law in you.
I understand the fear of many Christian about the law, it is I believe that the law requires perfection as stated by James in the book of James. the mercy and grace of God is sufficient for us all, but shall we continue to sin so that grace might abide, no God forbid. this is Paul's statement long after Christ has gone to heaven, sin only exist where there is law. this sims like a contradiction right, there is no contradiction your salvation is by faith but this is a process which I have already explained in my first post. read Gal. 15:13-16

You were called to freedom,
brethren; only do not turn your
freedom into an opportunity for
the flesh, but through love serve
one another. 14 For the whole Law
is fulfilled in one word, in the
statement, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR
NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' 15 But if
you bite and devour one another,
take care lest you be consumed by
one another. 16 But I say, walk by
the Spirit, and you will not carry
out the desire of the flesh.

Hence the Spirit of God in you through faith in God helps you overcome sin or flesh (fulfill the law).

Jesus’ statement in Matthew 5:18 makes it even clearer that He did not come to destroy or nullify the law: “For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.” Here, Jesus compared the continuance of the law to the permanence of heaven and earth. He is saying that God’s spiritual laws are immutable and indestructible. When He said till all is fulfilled He Christ was talking of His second coming end of all things.
In Matthew 5:18. Jesus here explains that until God’s plan to glorify humanity in His Kingdom is completely accomplished, that is, as long as there are still fleshly human beings, the physical codification of God’s law in Scripture is necessary and is as certain to endure as the continued existence of the universe.

Jesus Christ encouraged us to still tithe even I'm the New Testament n encouraged not to neglect other part of doctrines.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Matthew:23:23.

the law is still valid, for Christ said he did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. The reason why I believe most Christians think the law died with Christ death is because of what I call the misinterpretation of Paul teaching where he said "we are justified by faith and not by law". This is what I believe Paul was saying when he said you are justified by faith
1. Faith in God draws you closer to God as it increase your love for God.
2. As your faith in God grows the Spirit of God is born in you by virtue of your steadfast love for God.
3. Sin dies and become alien to you when your love for God becomes grounded and strong. basically the law becomes fulfilled in you.
Remember Paul said shall we continue to sin so that grace will abide, he then said God forbid he said this long after Christ death so the law is still valid in a Christians life.
what encompass all laws is what Jesus said when he said love your neighbour as your self (though this also does not mean then end of law).
1. You shall have no other God before me.
if you Love God you will have know other but him

2. You shall not make any graven images.
if Love God you will make no image and bow to it as god to you

3. You shall not use the Lord's Name in vain.
if you Love God you will not use his name in vain

4. Remember to keep Sabbath day holy.
if you Love God you will keep his sabbath holy

5. Honour your father and mother.
if you Love your Parents you will honour them

6. You shall not commit murder.
if you Love your neighbour as your self you will not do this

7. You shall not commit adultery.
if you Love your neighbour as your self you will not sleep with his wife or her husband

8. You shall not steal.
if you Love your neighbour as your self you will not steal his property

9. You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbour.
if you Love your neighbour as your self you will not do this

10. You shall not covet
if you Love your neighbour as your self you will not do this
therefore the Spirit of God in you born of your grounded and deep rooted FAITH and LOVE for the Almighty God helps you fulfill the law.

Why is that 10% you guys are always bothered with ? You have a whole 90% to yourself and you still grumbling over 10 I have come to realize that people who condemn tithing don't pay tithe so why bother others that do ? Is it your money ?

lonikit:
don't knw ur tribe anyway. but here is the Yoruba version

HEBERU 10:28

You don't know the laws. Moses laws are not just tithes. pls read your bible and follow the laws. Including the sabbath law.

lonikit:
this is also found in the new testament sir.

Hebrews 10:28 KJV
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses

no be me write am there oo

lonikit:
oga, these are the words of Jesus concerning law


Matthew 5:17-19 KJV
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
[18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

[19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them , the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

chivic:
We always talk about this.Sometimes its the spirit of greed in us that make us ask such question.I'm not sure of any church that only preach on tithe and offering.We Also complain that some church preach only holiness and sin.
Solution: attend their bible study and ask questions and you will get an answer. you might just be an object of change

lonikit:
Malachi 3:10 KJV
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it .


James 1:27 KJV
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.


I have observed that the first reference is more preached in the churches more than the second.
this thread is not meant to mock but to correct the habit of selective teaching of the word of God.

You stated that Jesus performed the miracle of feeding 5,000 men because there was no enough money to feed them and I want to know where you got that impression from because from the scripture, in all his conversation with the disciples on the issue before the miracle lack of money never arose

Here is the account of Jesus conversation with his disciples concerning feeding the multitude from different versions of the Bible

Luke 9:10-17New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand


From Verse: 12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”

13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”

They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.)

“When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, [/b]that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:5-6‬ ‭KJVA‬‬
http://bible.us/546/jhn.6.5-6.kjva

But Jesus said to them, "You yourselves give them something to eat." They answered, "All we have are five loaves and two fish. Do you want us to go and [b]buy food for this whole crowd?" ...Goodnews study Bible

Jesus didn't ask his disciples if there was enough money but where to buy food even though he himself knew what he would do.

I made a post yesterday which generated both worthy and worthless comments .. What actually baffles me is most guys slid into the topic only to call me all sort of names and even went as far as concluding have got HIV/AIDS .. Well that doesn't pinch a salt from me.. But what amuses me is me waking up this morning only to receive tons of emails from this same guys smh.....like seriously didn't you read the part where I mentioned I have a boyfriend?

You can't make it in life if you don't have this greed but not remaining greedy is hard to tell of any man. I believe you know the reason bible said,"trust no one but God".

Nodogragra4me:
Jesus never er said anything about money not being enough and to feed 5000 in an emergency would require more than money but where to even get the person to prepare the food .... He only asked where they could get the food ... Not whether there was money ....Holy spirit man doesn't Even know what is written in black and white .... Your spirit is Aba made and this IPOB wahala is disturbing his peace

Jesus didn't not do miracle because he was poor ...13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”

They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.)

emerged01:
I want to believe you that you are above greed but I remember you are a human.

Nodogragra4me:
You are now arguing against your submission..... Judas asked why the oil was not sold and the money given to the poor ..... Jesus said... Let her be ...She kept this for this day ...The poor you will always have ....... You said Jesus allowed the lady so he can expose the hypocrisy of Judas and I asked how? The statement in the passage didn't suggest anything like that.

Nodogragra4me:
You are yet to substantiate your holy spirit teaching that Jesus was poor
