Fellow jambites come out and let our voice be heard

Monalisa185:
in a nutshell, you wrote your jamb in 2003...my brother/sister, that was when the system of education in this country was good.... in fact, there was no post utme during that time....

now, things have fallen apart....need I say more?

fairheven:
This is getting interesting.
At first the OP said it is not writing, now we have shown you pple were it's written even in new testament, next you said is not the beginning of new testament? Next you you said he wasn't talking to Christians but but jew?

LEGALAide:
YOU'LL MARVEL WHEN I'LL TREAT THAT MATTER NEXT SUNDAY EXPOSING YOUR COMPLETE IGNORANCE AS TO WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BORN AGAIN BESIDES THE EMPTY CHANTS OF YOUR MONEY-EYED PASTORS.
Before then, what do you understand by being born again?

LEGALAide:
THIS MATTER HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AD NAUSEAM PLEASE.
REFER TO THE COMMENTS I ADDRESSED IT!

LEGALAide:
IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, TAKE IT ONE AFTER THE OTHER.
I'VE REALLY GOT TIME FOR YOU, DON'T PANIC!
Now select your first question!

LEGALAide:
New Living Translation right?
How does: YOU SHOULD TITHE imply that Jesus said that tithing is mandatory?
What it simply means is: LOOK, I'M NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD NOT TITHE, BUT PAY ATTENTION TO IMPORTANT THINGS!
Now if Jesus said that someone should eat, should that imply that Jesus said that it is mandatory the person ate?
Relate it to the washing of the back of cups practised by the Jews, if Jesus told them: YOU SHOULD WASH THE BACK OF YOUR CUPS, YES, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WASH THE INSIDE, should that mean that Jesus is endorsing washing the back of cups?
Please read the Bible with understanding!

For better understanding of that passage, read also from other versions:

New International Version

"What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites!

THANK ME LATER!

LEGALAide:
for the sake of argument please produce that passage again for all to read.
And then underline the place he said so.
I dey wait.

LEGALAide:
Chai!
HE DID NOT!
ABEG SHOW ME WHERE JESUS SAID SO IN THAT PASSAGE?

ChoCandyDiamond:
you are shooting yourself on the foot because Jesus was accusing them of paying tithe as religious obligation while neglecting the needy and the poor which is the weightier matter of the law which he summaries as judgement,mercy and faith, by this statement paying of tithe is not important

LEGALAide:
Bia.
What is wrong with you?
Was Jesus in that passage not rebuking them for not paying mind to important things, important things not being tithing?
That passage is in no way endorsing tithing!
Please I'm tired of this nonsense.

LEGALAide:
Smh.
Even after explaining to you you still chose not to understand.
Abeg no mention me again o.

Skills10:
Many people believe that by acknowledging the Obligation of the Jews to tithe here Jesus is teaching that tithing is also obligatory for New Testament Christians. Tithing is not even the issue in Matt 23:23. Jesus was rebuking Scribes and Pharisees who were SUBJECT to the law and obligated to tithe anyway. The issue Jesus was addressing was not their tithes, but their neglect of Justice,mercy and faithfulness toward others. To practice these was more important than being sticklers for the smallest detail of tithing(Matt 23:24-33). This is what Jesus was really leading up to in Matt 23, which precludes verse 23 from being uses to teach that Jesus was sanctioning tithing for New Testament Christians.

LEGALAide:
So in your opinion, what did Jesus mean by "and not to leave the other undone"?
The "other" they left undone are from that context: law, judgment, mercy, and faith.
And not tithing!
The passage already says they pay their tithe, but they neglect important things!
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

Christmasdon: Hello my friends, what are you all saying? Can church lead you to heaven? The answer is a capital 'Y'es. The (only) church that can guarantee you easy salvation is the CATHOLIC CHURCH. Simple, through baptism and other sacramentals offered by the living church(CATHOLIC CHURCH) Why am i saying this. Jesus said to peter "on you i will build my church the gate of hell will not prevail over it" A very clear portion from the bible passage. Of which peter was the first pope the key of heaven was being given to him and his successors. you see! What ever the pope binds here on earth will be bound in heaven. What ever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.(Mt. 18:18) Open your eyes and see clearly.

Bludeville: Feminism is about choice. It is about being able to say " I want to be the CEO of a company by the time I'm at a certain age and not have anybody judge you/ criticise you / tell you to lower your aspirations because you are just a woman and your family needs you and blah blah. It is also about being able to say I want to dedicate my life to raising my kids and nurturing my husband and still no one can criticize your choices because this is what gives you personal fulfillment. A working mother/ a career woman does not automatically equal a feminist.
what am I trying to say? A woman can sacrifice her dreams and etc for her marriage/family, but the important thing is for it to be her choice. Not imposed upon her by her family/society/peer pressure and all those other negative influence that automatically assigns certain roles to people based on gender.

Dee235: Really great write up and just on point. Also add valuable skills to your firstclass, skills like soft typing, programming and so forth... It also contributes as well.

Pastor Kun: @EasyG

I think you owe us an explanation concerning your statement about flares from the warri refinery, at least two people on this thread have testified that the warri refinery as not worked in the last two months. How do we reconcile this with your statement that it was operational three nights ago when you saw the UFO.
