@frosbel, Why do you think it is up to you to define 'a true christian'? Who gave you the authority to determine what a christian should and should not do?

Joagbaje:
Many people don't understand pastoral ministry ,that is why. You are giving counsel of the flesh. It is dangerous . Are you aware that some marital problems could be demonic? . And if you dont get that devil out of whoever the problem will not stop.

Some women or men have ,these spirit husbands and spirit wife. I have dealt with many cases like that. Such people will always fight over nothing. Anger will be extreme and other matters like that.

But apart from spiritual problem . There is a problem of ignorance also. Ignorance of the word of God and ignorance of family duty or responsibility. That is why many churches have protocols such as marriage classes which intending couple should under go. But many people fight against it as though church is making marriage difficult with so much protocols.

The pastor has the final say . That's the bible for you sir. The church has it's own structure ordained by God in redo ing conflicts.

Matthew 18:15-17
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

You can see here that it is only if a man refuse pastoral judgement that he can be handled otherwise .

Tithing has heavenly reward.

Azibalua:
[b]Let's not be mistaken this power is inherent in every Christian, [/b]it's not a show we put on,it's just that a lot of Christians are still in the dark about who they are in christ,it's like a 300 kva engine being used to power a self contained apartment,so much power but little knowledge of it's capacity.

God richly bless you and make you a blessing. It is my prayer that mazaje and all his[b] bedfellows respond to the glorious light of the gospel of Christ[/b] and that the may believing hearts and hearing ears to both hear and believe the Word of God and that the Daystar in their hearts to appear.

In reference to the context in which my initial post was outlined, the point I was trying to make was that Jesus (the epitome that exemplifies Christianity) placed more "emphasis" on the poor than on tithes. Judging by the evidence -and his speeches- in the bible, my comparison is accurate.

@dare2think
You insist that Jesus' emphasis is giving to the poor.

Why cast pearls before swines? Or books in the midst of illitrates? The poster is actually correct, many of the acient books that painted the true picture of Jesus, as a normal man with wife and children were delibrately left out. Instead Constantine the great opted for versions that panited Jesus as the devine son of God. He may very well be, but let his diviinity be measured by truth told by those who new him, not by a General, and scribes who would later write a photoshoped version of the bible.

Image123:
Each sentence is wrong, why? While i sympathize with whoever you call 'poor', and i believe Jesus sympathizes. Truth is that Jesus didn't lay His emphasis on 'poor' like you're projecting.

davidylan:
Its a two-way street. no contradictions here. The default mindset of the atheist is that the religious person is ignorant, in delusion and half as smart because he/she is not busy on talkorigins copying faulty claims for evolution. That much was evident from the very first 10 posts here.

davidylan:
you are too easily carried away by verbose words. You are too easily swayed by copy-paste jobs from other sites. When i read from the atheists i don't see "how deep they have searched" or a "level of sound mind", i only see a lot of obfuscation, ignorance cloaked with highfalutin jargon (that impresses the ignorant) and insults of course.

I do read the Bible very very well. It would be foolish of me to argue about a book that I haven't read. I do engage in logical theological arguments , for example, "Is God omniscient? Does Hell exist?", using verses from the Bible. It is a healthy exercise. However, I cannot overlook the contradictions in the Bible. Faith is not enough for me. Even Christians don't agree on everything. My Christians friend always exhort me not to isolate a particular verse in the Bible, but to look at the overall arc, in order words, the big picture. That statement always angers me because I do not read the Bible simply just to prove others wrong. I read it with an open mind. But when I read about a God allowing His people to enjoy slavery in Egypt for 400 years or so while He is chilling in heaven with His minions, that doesn't go down well with me. That also bothers me: God has a preference. Tufiakwa. I don't wanna serve a biased God. Mba. A God who hated Esau before he was even born. Lailai. Sorry for going off on a tangent.
