Go and complete the marriage rites and you will see how peaceful your home and wife will be. I am speaking from experience. My elder sister got pregnant for her husband out of wedlock while dating, to worsen it the guy impregnated her again after the first child and they started living togeda. It was always problem, quarrel today, fight tomorrow, breaking of things and ll that, she vet irritated at the slightest opportunity, I settle fight I tire. One day after settling a very big fight, I called the guy aside and told him that the cause of ll these is because he hasn't married her legally. Right on that spot the picked a date and came to do the right thing, he even did it in a very big way. It's over 6years now I have never gone to settle anutbing. They are living peacefully.
OkCornel: Meanwhile... When pro-tithers are ready to show us where God specifically mentioned money as part of the items to be tithed, then they should know that monetary tithing is unscriptural.
When God required money for the needs of the Temple, He specifically mentioned where all Israelite males should be levied a temple tax of half a shekel every year. That was an instance of God clearly asking for money.
BASED ON THE ABOVE, IT WAS CLEAR WHEN GOD ASKED FOR MONEY TO MAINTAIN THE TEMPLE... NOW LET US EXAMINE GOD'S REQUIREMENT FOR TITHES
Based on the above verses, God clearly mentioned what is titheable, and money was not part of the items to be tithed.
IN CONCLUSION: So any fraudster that comes with the excuse that money was not in use because the Israelites were predominantly farmers and cattle rearers...should read Exodus 30 v 13-16 and explain to us why God demanded money from these same Israelites...but specified crops and livestock as tithes in Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29;
Also, I'll be waiting for scriptural references where God made tithing mandatory for gentiles as well.
you have said it all, moreover not everyone is a farmer or cattle rearer, we had teachers, lawyers, physicians, and many others that probably earn money as salary, why was there no record of these set of people paying tithe
I have never seen anywhere in the Bible where tithing was done in cash. Before you start claiming there was no money that time. Please go and read Deuteronomy 14 from 22 up.
OkCornel: I only know of spirit led freewill giving (from a cheerful heart) not pegged at any particular percentage of one's earnings as the basis for giving under the new covenant.
2 Corinthians 9 v 7; 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.
Acts 4 v 34-35; 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
That being said, I'm still awaiting 1) Scriptural examples of gentile believers that tithed in the new covenant 2) I'm awaiting where God changed the standard of tithing from agro-produce as clearly stated in Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29, into money the wolves in shepherd's clothing are currently soliciting for.
that's my point exactly. If you talk, they will say that you need holy spirit to understand. But Malachi 3:10 doesn't require holy spirit, they quite it verbatim
[quote author= post=84730803]Hmmmmmmm............. this is deep!
Both the above and below quotes from this same Nairalander. You will see hypocrites keeping mum...and some will go ahead to label this person a zombie for saying the truth....atleast for this once. Wailers hypocrisy stink to high heavens. God bless Nigeria. Peace Out!
Rightly predicted, they have started calling him a zombie for saying the bitter truth! Someone that was once their hero and mentor! Hypocritical wailing zombies roaming.......!
Hmmmm.........this is deeper! Good to know that Some sane Nigerians are still thinking with their God-given brain.
You can see that too. They all rather queue behind a criminal! That is the characteristics of hypocrites. That is what they are. Sowore got 33,000 votes out of 85 Million registered voters!! And you see them all wailing now. Say no more abeg![/quote]another brain dead zombie Fuuuck off
Oga, you and your family will protest alone. In fact, my God will punish anyone that wants to destabilize a duly elected democratic government.
Protests will never take the place of the ballot. And the ballots have spoken. The courts have also spoken and like we say in Latin, "Vox populi, vox Dei"
It is Sai Baba till 2023.
But why do I feel this guy has compromised and is only acting out a script?
It does not add up. If I were in his shoes and managed to escape from the court...releasing a video will be the last thing on my mind. No smart fugitive does that.
He does not even look reassuring, his speech delivery seems a bit coerced and not freely coming. Then how he gets up at the end of it tells a lot of stories.
It reminds me a lot about Tuface's infamous speech on his cancelled protest.
printemps: I'll advice this young man to go seek political asylum if he is able to make it outside Nigeria. I'm sure the U.S. , Canada and the U.K. will grant him one. Himself and others can start a NADECO style of political activism from exile.
TechCapon: The boy is a stupid boy. That's how he slaps his elders otherwise why would he see a policeman old enough to be his father, in uniform and carrying AK 47 and he still went ahead to slap him. He's a foool.
By the way, why are there so many sowore thread and no Anthony Joshua thread today. Give us Anthony Joshua gist abeg.
Mexyz: ... This is not true please, as at 2017 when I paid my clearance fees at Uniben, it was paid through the remitta platform, which is an FG platform for TSA.. School fees are now being paid through remitta.
EmptyCoconutHead: IPPIS a new innovation by Sai Baba that will bring development and ensure a good quality of life for the citizens and Personnel serving the country.
Do universities not generate funds? All the school fees that students pay are what?
leave that one oooo, the funds generated in the universities remain in the universities, VCs are just like governors, most of them are very corrupt as well
That money is hard earned money and sweat from your mum that has past on. Use everything within your reach to get the money back, use pastors, Alfas, Songo, Ifa,ogun, amadioha priests, even witches and wizards.
Your uncle is very wicked, he's a very bad man, in fact he's not nice at all.
Court cases of this nature could be endless.
You could also approach the economic and financial crimes commission EFCC, they will help you do a good job, though you will pay a percentage of the money.
Cutehector: the things of divine, your brain cannot understand sir.
this is the problem I have with you people. Once the debate gets hot u will start saying it is a thing of divine. U that claim to understand it are u a spirit? Same way with tithes, when the debate becomes hot u people change it to spiritual understanding, but u did not need any spiritual understanding when quoting Malachi verbatim.
Cutehector: Lord means one having power or authority over others. Jesus is lord because he said.
All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me by my father.
God means supreme. Jesus is God because the bible says that in the beginning, the word already existed, the word was with God and the word was God.
But same Bible said Jesus is first born of God's creation. So for me God created Jesus and gave him power to do things. God remain God. This theory of Trinity was sneaked into the church by the Catholics. I am a born Catholic though
