NONSENSE! WHO IS THIS DEVIL'S AGENT TRYING TO STEAL THE TRUTH FROM THE HEART OF WEAK CHRISTIAN. MAY GOD DEAL WITH YOU.

Seriously? Giving according to your abilities is "Stealing the Truth from weak Christians"? Oga, you seriously need to up your comprehension skills.

The Bible teaches that God, who richly has supplied us with all good things, wants us “to be generous and ready to share” (1 Tim. 6:18). But what does generosity mean? Isn’t giving 10 percent of my income to the Lord’s work being generous? If not 10 percent, how much should I give?

Tithing is not the New Testament standard for giving.

Many churches promote a concept called “storehouse” tithing, based on Malachi 3:10, where God tells Israel to “bring the whole tithe into the storehouse.” They teach that the local church is the storehouse, the tithe belongs to God, and His blessing is conditioned upon faithfulness in tithing.

Before I critique this view, let me point out that there are some commendable points regarding tithing: (1) Those who tithe are often acting in obedience to what they believe God has commanded. (2) Tithing gets some to increase what they give. (3) Tithing helps consistency and discipline in giving. But consider these seven reasons why tithing is not God’s standard for Christians:

A. Tithing was a part of the law of Moses; believers are not under the law.

Romans, Galatians, and other New Testament passages make it clear that Christians are not under the law of Moses. That does not mean that we are lawless, because we are under the law of Christ (1 Cor. 9:20-21; James 1:25; 2:8, 12; Rom. 13:8-10). Those aspects of the Mosaic law that reflect the moral character of God are valid under the New Covenant and are repeated as commands in the New Testament. But the church is never commanded to tithe.

Those who argue for tithing point out that Abraham and Jacob both tithed prior to the Mosaic law (Gen. 14:20; 28:22). Thus tithing supersedes the law, they argue. If the New Testament gave no further guidelines, that might be a valid point. But it does, as I will show. But there are other practices, such as circumcision and sabbath-keeping which pre-date the Law and yet are not binding on us.

If you examine the references to Abraham’s and Jacob’s tithing, you will see that God did not command them to tithe and there is no indication that this was their regular practice. On one occasion after a victory in battle, Abraham tithed the spoils from that battle, but nothing is said regarding his other possessions or his regular income (Gen. 14:20). To follow Jacob’s example would be wrong, because he was making a conditional vow before God, promising that if God would keep him safe and provide for him, then he would give God a tenth (Gen. 28:20-22). That’s hardly a good example to follow in giving! Tithing was required under the Mosaic Law, but believers are not under the Law.

B. Tithing was an involuntary tax to support Israel; believers are not a part of the theocratic nation.

In the Old Testament, there was both required and voluntary giving. The tithe was required. It was commanded for every Israelite to fund national worship and help the poor. In actuality, there was not just one tithe, but rather two or three ([1] Lev. 27:30-33, Num. 18:20-21; [2] Deut. 12:17-18; [3] Deut. 14:28-29), so that the total was not 10 percent, but more like 22 percent (see Charles Ryrie, Balancing the Christian Life [Moody Press], p. 86). Thus if we are required to bring the whole tithe into the storehouse today, we had better up the percentage from 10 to 22 percent!

C. Tithing is not mentioned in any instructions to the church, although much is said about giving.

Since the tithe played such an important part in the OT and in Judaism contemporary with early Christianity, it is surprising to discover that never once is tithing mentioned in any instructions given to the church. Jesus mentions scribes and Pharisees who tithe ..., but he never commanded his disciples to tithe. The writer to the Hebrews refers to Abraham paying tithes to Melchizedek and Levi paying his tithe to Melchizedek through Abraham ..., but he never taught his readers to follow their example. Paul writes about sharing material possessions to care for the needs of the poor ... and to sustain the Christian ministry .... He urges and commends generosity ... but never once does he demand, as a command from God, that any specific amount be given.

If tithing is to be practiced by the Christian church, it seems strange that Paul did not mention it when he wrote of giving, especially to the predominately Gentile churches which would not be familiar with the Old Testament.

D. Tithing is not mentioned in any writings of the early church fathers.

By itself this is not decisive, but it lends weight to the biblical arguments. If the early church practiced tithing, then the concept should surface somewhere in the writings of the church fathers of the second and third centuries. But it does not, even though giving was an important part of early Christian worship.

E. Tithing puts the wrong emphasis upon giving.

Tithing emphasizes your obligation to God; New Testament giving, as we shall see, emphasizes your willing, loving response to God’s grace. Furthermore, tithing limits giving by making a person feel that he has paid his dues (so to speak) and thus nothing more is required, when, in fact, much more could be done. Tithing has a tendency to put a person on a legal basis with God, rather than a love relationship. It’s the wrong emphasis.

F. Tithing leads to a false concept of stewardship.

It leads to the notion that 10 percent is God’s money and 90 percent is my money. In reality, 100 percent is God’s money, and He may want me to channel 90 percent into His work and live on 10 percent. Tithing can be a bad rut.

G. Tithing is burdensome for some and too easy for others.

If a man with a family of five makes N20,000 a year and tithes, he has N18,000 (apart from taxes) to support five people. If a childless couple makes N100,000 a year and tithes, they have N90,000 (apart from taxes) to support two people. That would be burdensome to the man with five mouths to feed, but ridiculously easy for the couple. Those on Nairaland who studied accounting and tax like me would understand where I am coming from.

We should not think, “How much do I have to give?” but rather, “How much can I give?” We should not wait for someone to pressure us with a need; we should look for needs that we can meet. I personally give out more than or close to 30% of my earnings a month to people who are in need just because I feel blessed but I never pay 10% to the church because the 10% is not the issue; it's a question of how much you can give. I think it's wrong to create a benchmark of 10% that makes it look like you have fulfilled your legal obligation to God and you expect God to do his own part.

Give according to the substance you have. Identify a church need and fill it up even if it costs 10% or more or less! That's the definition of TRUE tithing.

Thanks to everyone who contributed. I tried @khorlynz's tip as suggested. It worked just fine and now the battery works just like it does normally. Albeit, I still think the battery is being to degrade materially.

Or I'm noticing it now because I never really cared about it before.

Thanks to everyone who contributed. I tried @khorlynz's tip as suggested. It worked just fine and now the laptop works just like it does normally. Albeit, I still think the battery is being to degrade materially.

khorlynz:
remove the battery and discharge the static from your system by pressing down the power switch then charge till the battery get to 100%

I'll try this. Thanks

ladyF:
Lol my broda, your laptop has turned to TV. It has happened to me before. Just change the battery.

Put on gen and on it while it's charging, you'll see it will come on.

Really? Choi!

Greatzeus:
What i think could cause it is if you were charging your phone with your laptop,the laptop battery drops while your phone charges,but you didnt say anything like charging your phone.
Another thing is If the battery is getting bad,but even though it will only drop fast but not so sudden,also only when in use not when off

Probably.. because I was charging my spectranet at the time but I kept the laptop plugged in. Thanks for your contribution though

Computer engineers, help a brother
I charged my battery full last night, used it for a few hours (while plugged in), then went to sleep. Only to wake up this morning and the laptop would not even power on. It's just indicating a low battery LED light meaning the battery charge has been zapped out!

What do you think has happened o? I suspect a software or driver problem because the battery is still quite new - I bought it six months ago and it has never really shown any remote sign of degradation. Yes, batteries eventually wear out but not from a sudden 100%-0% in the middle of the night! Besides, I'm 100% certain that I shut down properly - not hibernation or sleep

Meet Ayodamola Otun, the Nigerian student who won IUPUI’s (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, USA) Most Outstanding Student for 2016. Ayo, as he likes to be called majored in Biology.


Here is his response to questions he was asked by IUPUI International Student Ambassadors.

Tell us more about being a Top 100 student at IUPUI?

Being a Top 100 student at IUPUI means of the over 22000 students at IUPUI, you are one of the 100 most outstanding students. It means you have taken advantage of the opportunities that IUPUI provides. It means you have succeeded academically. It means you have civic engagement and have offered service to IUPUI and its community. It means you are involved in extra-curricular activities on the campus. It is a great honor.

How will study at IUPUI help you reach your future goals?

I want to become a neurosurgeon and researcher in neurobiology. At IUPUI, I have been able to complete pre-requisites to apply to medical school. I also got opportunities to explore both careers through research, internship and shadowing. I actually discovered my passion for research through my involvement in research through research programs at IUPUI. IUPUI has helped me develop into an all-rounded student.

What advice or encouragement would you give to international students who are considering coming to IUPUI?

Do not limit yourself. Get involved as much as possible. It will help you create a network system. Seek assistance if you need assistance, it will make college easier than it seems. Have fun and do what you are passionate about while also being open minded and trying out new things and opportunities.

why am i not seeing 'practise aptitude tests' on this list?

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Social media giant Facebook has paid a $10,000 reward to a 10-year-old Finnish boy for finding a glitch in its picture sharing app Instagram.
Jani, whose last name was not released for privacy reasons, is the youngest ever recipient of Facebook's "bug bounty", paid to users who find bugs or weaknesses in its platforms.
"I wanted to see if Instagram's comment field could stand malicious code. Turns out it couldn't," Jani told Finland's Iltalehti newspaper.
Facebook said the glitch was fixed in February and the reward was paid in March.
Jani, who is still too young to have a Facebook or Instagram account of his own, said he learned coding from Youtube videos and found a way to delete user comments from Instagram accounts.
"I could have deleted anyone's comments from there. Even Justin Bieber's," he told Iltalehti.
He said he was thinking about a career in data security, but for now his plans include buying a new bike and a football with his reward money.

The rules of chivalry suggest that men should make the first move when it comes to love. But that may not be the case anymore, at least according to a new report on OkCupid, a popular online dating website.


First some basics: On OkCupid, men tend to outnumber women (one-and-a-half men for every woman), and heterosexual men tend to send a first message more frequently than heterosexual women. Most men, in fact, send about 14, while most women send out about four. Women who send first messages aren't receiving more from men than those who don't send messages; they are no different in physical attractiveness than women who aren't sending first messages; and they're not older or younger than those who don't initiate, either.


So the first puzzle is: Why are some women initiating and some not—and are they having any success?


OkCupid's researchers discovered an interesting habit: Most people who send first messages are sending them to others who are more attractive than themselves. They're aiming high. Women do this as well as men, but men tend to contact women who are even more "out of their league" (at least in terms of physical attractiveness) than women do. This means, then, that if a woman simply waits for contact, her suitors may be primarily men who are considerably less attractive than herself (again, physically).

So why not reach out?


Get this: Those women who do reach out tend to be quite successful in starting a conversation. This is partly due to an interesting trend in which men are more likely to respond to any given first message, relative to most women. They're about two-and-a-half times more likely to respond than women are. This makes being the initiator a total game changer for women—these women upgrade the quality of their suitors and are quite successful in starting conversations that could lead to real relationships.


In sum, at least online (but potentially in other dating contexts offline as well), women are in an advantageous position to attract a highly desirable partner. Women who reach out and contact men who might seem out of their reach are much more likely to get a response than men who do the same.
If you needed one, this is a great argument for taking the initiative.

All correct Op, but you forgot to add the Oxford Brookes Degree part you get from ACCA for completing Foundation.

Madam.. E don do na... You've made your point

"Observations"... Hmm.. As long as you didn't generalise 100% of the Nigerian population of males, we're good. I just hope the 'subjects' you observed are widely-dispersed and you didn't centralise them in one location.

davidsgal:
Tall girls rule... You cnt intimate me..... M very confident in myself... All hail d tall girls.

We shoud date.. PM me

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities..."

Now I know height preference is relative with ladies but one unanimous preference is that ladies love men that are taller than them.

So many threads about ladies blatantly making it known that they don't like short men and I'm yet to find a lady who has rejected a dude on the basis of being too tall.

But when is 'tall' too tall? I'm 6'4 and according to statistics, anyone above 6'3+ is taller than 95% of the world.

Babes.. Please, being smart is cool.. You don't want to be a dullard. Caltech, MIT, Princeton.. These schools are not just about grades... They're also about producing bright minds that can make things happen.

Apart from tuition fees, the schools tend to provide quality education to their students.. But on average, I don't think they admit students having an IQ below 120.. almost borderline genius.. They want people who have the ability to think, make things happen and achieve almost the impossible...

If the sacrifice I have to make to be extraordinarily gifted in all things 'Technological' is being referred to as a nerd, I'll gladly take it.

In order to be successful, you need a good brain! Bill Gates read and memorized the Encyclopedia at age 8! For this our Naija, even Okonjo Iweala bagged her PhD at MIT (let's forget the political debate), you see my point?.

Being smart is cool babes... and sexy... #TeamSapiosexual You shouldn't hate it.. Me love your genes ooo
