Celebrities / Re: Daddy Freeze Replies Zack Orji - Pity Will Not Solve Tithing, Give Us Quotations by BumbleDevil: 8:18pm On Dec 21, 2017
mabea:
This guy keeps soaring in ignorance. New covenant (testament) started after the death of Christ. You no longer require a priest to make sacrifice on your behalf, you dont need the blood of animal to atonne for your sin etc. He said that Jesus is our great high priest after the order of mechizedek who accepted tithe from the hand of abraham, now if Jesus is our great high priest(in his death) after the order of mechizedek then it means that He as well collects or is still collecting our tithe.

Nairalanders come and see hypocrisy at the highest level.

If you no longer need the priest because Jesus has come, then why do you need the Levite's tithe when they have no one to assist in the temple. You people are just trying to defend the indefensible. Abi is it not an irony for me to discard the master (PRIEST and burnt offerings) and still hold on to the servant (LEVITE and tithe) when the justification for the initial formation of the Levite is to assist the priest.

My brother if this is the basis of your argument, you have just suceeded in telling us that tithing in Christianity is daylight roberry.

Let us settle this issue of tithe once and for all.

Those who preach and promote tithe succeeded to a large extent by instilling fears into the people so they won't question the rationale behind tithe and tithing.

As I have said earlier, because Jesus was not from the tribe of Levi, he did not demand a tithe. His descent from the tribe of Judah makes him ineligible to receive tithe, so why do we Christians (Christ-like) receive tithes.

The focal point of the tithe is that IT IS ONLY MEMBERS OF THE TRIBE OF LEVI who were ordained to receive tithe. The Levites in return as demanded by God were to give a tenth of that tithe to the priest (Read Numbers 18:25-28).

Modern-day pastors represent the priest in the old testament. In Number 18:1-21, God commanded the priests to take their brethren, the Levites to come and assist them in the temple with certain restrictions and he gave the priest their own inheritance of the offerings brought into the temple, of all first offspring of both animals and humans. To this end, any Pastor collecting tithe is only usurping the inheritance of the Levites because God did not authorize the priest to receive tithe. Going further, if modern day pastors receive tithes as they are now claiming ownership of tithes, then to whom did they give the 10 percent God commanded the Levites to give to the Priest.
If the act of offering animal sacrifices as commanded by God, is no longer valid today, then why is TITHE

Payment of tithe as ordained by God is to only a group of people, and only one group... The LEVITES. It is categorically stated that the tribe of Levi, one of the twelve ancient tribes in Israel, and no one else, had the authority to receive tithe. (Numbers 3:1-10,24, Number 4)

People are quick to refer to Genesis 14:20 and Genesis 28:22 when Abraham and Jacob practiced tithing. However, we should understand clearly that Abraham practiced practices tithing willingly and voluntarily devoid of any divine injunction. He also gave a tithe from the spoils of war and not from his produce. Jacob's tithing, on the other hand, was a promised he made to God if God will bless him.

Modern-day Pastors are totally disqualified from receiving tithe because there is no OFFICIAL body of men functioning as the Levites.

No one has the right to choose to whom they pay the tithe that God has ordained to be paid to the Levites. So it is not only the receiver of tithe that disobeys God, but also the payers.(Numbers 16:47-54, Deuteronomy 10:1-9) You cannot do that which God has not appointed you to do, those who tried it are severely punished, some with death. 2 Samuel 6:1-8, 1 Chronicles 13: 9-12.

Burnt offering and tithe are practiced in Judaism. So why leave out the burnt offering and hold on to tithe.

Preachers, Prophets, Pastors, G.O's should heed the teaching of God and refrain from taking what does not belong to them.

In addition to this, the Jews of today don't tithe because after the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70, the Jews left for other lands and nobody can say who was a levite or not and that part of the Jewish worship was stopped till date.
I'm always fascinated when Christians of today who are not Jews, don't know any levite still tithe to a non Jew how much more a non levite

This also beats my imagination. Supposed learned people reasoning like numb skulls. Religion is a veritable tool to control the mind of men and they have not queried why Pastors are teaching psychology and philosophy instead of salvation as preached by our Lord Jesus Christ.

Imagine a Sunday sermon bothering on financial freedom. That was why the likes of Friedreich Nietzche postulated about the childhood neurosis of man affecting his religious inclination.

Let me stop here before I start to thread the line of Atheism which is not the focal point of discussion.

Daddy freeze is not asking for much, he is only asking for biblical citations from the new testament.Tithing is on the old testament, if you must obey tithing then you must obey other Jewish principles. You can't obey one principle and negate the others. Bible is the standard,reacting emotionally is not the way out but citing a part of the bible where Jesus or the Apostlesame paid tithe.Most pastors are begging the questions (petito principi).

They would rather threaten you with eternal damnation, financial stagnation and all other forms of threats. They are always quick to refer to Malachi but failed to realize that Malachi addressed the JEWS who refused to pay tithes as ordained by God in the old testament

Why is it that you people don't make your findings before passing judgment on a laudable gesture.

In case you don't know, the donation of the gen sets was at the request of the request of the new Commissioner of Police. He explained that he wants to eradicate the situation whereby police stations will be in darkness at night. He wants all police station to have functional floodlight in front of their station and also put an end to the era of police officers telling you to bring money for typing because there is no light in the station. And for the records, they are to serve as an alternative to the ever un-reliable PHCN.

I guess some of you will appreciate the gesture from the governor despite receiving the Police Boss request on short notice.

He also noted that mobile radio communication gadgets are usually off and the police officer makes an excuse of lack of power supply to charge their security communication gadgets.

Let us for once appreciate good development before we start talking about environmental bruhaha.

MBAKA is a disgrace to the Catholic faith. I even doubt if his Bishop has control over him. A Catholic priest who made vow of obedience, poverty and chastity on his ordination day has totally derailed from the Doctrine of the church. Catholicism is not known for this charade of deceit under the guise of Adoration ministry.

Can someone please tell me why a Catholic Priest employed the service of a media aide if not for misplaced priority. I know those who thronged to his adoration ground and those who are apologetic and sympathetic to his cause will feed senselessly on this.

I am a Conservative Catholic and this is not in line with the catholic faith.

JBismarck:


Nope, I was picked more than 3 times at night and didn't argue with them, I got to the station on two of those occasions and didn't pay a dime before I was released. That is Lagos police sha o, I don't know of Warri police.

About 6 years ago, On my way back from work, I was stopped on a bike at about 9pm in front of Obalende Police Barracks and was ordered into their bus. I behaved like a gentleman since I have nothing to hide and entered their bus. All effort to dialogue was ignored and we eventually got to Dolphin Estate Police Post at about 11:30pm after arresting other innocent people going home after the days work.

On arrival at the Police Post, We were told to remove our clothes and write down items on us in a ruled sheet. After this exercise, One Inspector who was in charge of the operation showed up and declared that we were the robbers terrorizing the community infact one police officer who limped as a result of gun shot wound from robbers had threatened to shoot us but for intervention of his colleagues who cautioned him that it was OGA that sent them on our arrest mission. We were all locked up in an overcrowded cell.

Few hours later, they started calling us out one after the other (which I later learnt was based on how much you declared in the register). It didnt get to my turn untill almost 3am and the officer started preaching that it is not good to walk about at night...bla bla bla... he said bail was N3K and I declared N1,800 in the register. I was released with the condition that I should bring the balance of N1,200 at day break. I sat at the counter and made my way home at about 5:30am.

When I went back with my Dad and our family lawyer, all the people arrested with me who couldnt secure their bail before 8am were taken to court as criminal suspect and eventually reprimanded in Ikoyi Prison.

@OP, you are very right not to follow them. That will be the last thing I will ever do again.

Though, they always add Oga to the insult when addressing you.

I laughed at your lame defense. Some people like you who are opportuned to work in big firm always find it very difficult to take instructions from the security guards. You guys are so full of your selves that you pride in you will be asking you why a common security guard is giving me a graduate instruction.

Let me thicken your diluted brain a little. There is no discretion in security work. Its either you obey instruction or you compromised the job. People like you will always want security guys to bend the rules for you as against management instructions and once they fail to compromise, they became your enemies.

You expected them to give you access when you are not authorized into the building, they became your enemy.
You want them to allow your visitor which is against the Management's rule and once they refused, they became your enemy.
You brought your girlfriend to work on weekend and security denied her access, they became your enemy.
You tried to shag a female colleague in the rest room and you are busted by security patrol team, they became your enemy.
You attempted to eat at your desk or sneak in food and security stopped you, they became your enemy.
You wanted them to allow you to park where you are not suppose to park and they refused you, they became your enemy.
You gave them money and expected them to compromise and once they refused to compromise, they became your enemy.
You want backdoor CCTV review over your missing item and your request was denied, they became your enemy.

The list is endless. People like you will never see anything good in security because they hinder you from exhibiting your bad character.

The inheritance of the priest is the offering while the inheritance of the Levites is the tithe. Remember that even the Levites pay one tenth to the temple. A Priest is forbidden to take inheritance of the Levites while the Levites are also forbidden to eat from the burnt offerings.

When the whites came to our Land, we have the Land, they have the Bible. We were told to close our eyes for prayer and when we opened our eyes, they have the Land and we have the bible. (African Proverb).

I sometimes marveled at the gullibility of our people by some rogues in roman collar. I dont think I have ever be so mumu to dash my hard earned salary to Pastor as tithe. God Forbid. Abi no be Bros J tell us for New Testament say Old things shall pass away.

My decision not to pay tithe is strictly borne out of the settings of the Priest and the Levites. Number 18:20-24 The Lord said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them; I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelites. I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the tent of meeting. From now on the Israelites must not go near the tent of meeting, or they will bear the consequences of their sin and will die. It is the Levites who are to do the work at the tent of meeting and bear the responsibility for any offenses they commit against it. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. They will receive no inheritance among the Israelites. Instead, I give to the Levites as their inheritance the tithes that the Israelites present as an offering to the Lord. That is why I said concerning them: ‘They will have no inheritance among the Israelites.’ ”

Show me any church where we have Levites who have no landed properties, material acquisition and inheritance, then I will gladly take my tithe to them.

In this economic hardship, the sure way is to keep your money instead of banking on some imaginary blessings from above.

“Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with screwing people over your whole life, I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.” - Jessica Brody

In Lagos under 'One Nigeria' there seem to exist a silent economic war of destruction of livelihood, burning of markets in the middle of the night, extortion and harassment of genuine businesses by official area boys and street urchins, illegal/multiple taxing of business owners, in markets where Igbos operate e.g. Tejuoso, Alaba International and Ladipo. And now Oshodi electrical & electronic market.

Many of these attracious deeds are conducted at odd times when the traders won't be available to resist the dastardly acts.

Over the decades in the South-West, the Yorubas have systematically burnt Igbo shops as a guise to hijacking the markets from Igbos.

https://www.nairaland.com/2618835/hoodlums-shut-down-alaba-international

Prior to the 2015 general elections, amidst the threat by the lagoon crooner to drown Igbos, 18 Chisco transport buses were criminally burnt down in Lagos and up till date nothing was done to bring the culprits to book.

What does 'One Nigeria' mean?
A deceit where you are empowered to share my crude oil and wealth as 'One Nigeria' while I am considered a migrant to your State whom you're just merely accommodating and may perish in the lagoon at your command.

It is a chaotic situation where the Oba of a place would invite the representative of a people for discussion in his palace as regards a market leadership dispute only to set an ambush for him and unleash hundreds of thugs to flog and disgrace him.

It is an unjust situation where you're licensed to use foul means to destroy my business in your State with outrageous taxes. You can close my business premises at will while your elites continue to shout 'One Nigeria' to cover up the evils and injustices prevalent in the land. And you still expect me to be docile and continue to suffer silently as your hate and envy for my progress soar high.

Now, do you have any case for unity - fake or imaginary?

If you have there would no need fooling and playing to the gallery and shouting 'One Nigeria'. Or have you ever heard 'One Great Britain', 'One United States of America', 'One Germany'?
That shows that something is fundamentally wrong which many have been shying away from.

Is it a crime for any person/group to choose to opt out of a relationship?

Strange bedfellows, with irreconcilable value systems that are at best suitable for the individual selves, are not meant to be together! The 102 years of existence attest to that verdict!

Victor Hugo once said "no army can stop an idea whose time has come" and that "one can resist the invasion of armies but not the invasion of ideas".
