Well some of us pay tithes to churches we may never visit. I pay my tithe to a church in ilorin after seeing on facebook they don't have pews and will definitely have members with needs. I have been stranded once without money very late at night on a busy road and all my driver and I had was less than N400 without a bank in sight. A church took care of us without questions and got a mechanic for us of course they fed us too. The Church needs your money

Yes the church needs money. That is not false. But enforcing that money collection through tithe collection is the problem. The early church needed money too, how did they get it?

By collecting tithe?

Please go and read ur bible well.

If you all are not ready to do as Christ did or as the apostles who laid down the foundations of Christianity did, then you have no right quoting other parts of their acts. Cus u clearly aren't interested in being a follower of Christ, but a follower of the LAW. Your practice isn't Christianity but Judaism

petra1:


Abram Paid tithe to Melchizedek . So Was melchizedek Levi? .

And what did Melchizedek do with the tithe?
Buy chairs for the "temple"?

You lots will keep concorting various believes to justify ur greed.
Tithe was instrumented by God for the Levites. That is what is clearly written in the bible. Before then there was no mention of it. Yes Abraham gave a part of the recovered loot to Melchizedek, but where else was it mentioned in the history of Abram, Jacob or Isaac that they tithed?
And these were farmers o.
Please dig it out and post it for us to see. We have records that Isaac sowed in the land and reaped multiple folds. Where was it recorded that he tithed?
What would the tithe had been for?
For God? maybe God needs money.
You lots are just clowns

Read ur bible and stop all these heresies.

RepoMan007:

I don't see the need to list all those things separately. They fall into two broad categories of things that cover the church material need and thing that cover the pastorate's need. Remember, some pastors have been forbidden to work outside the church or own profitable businesses. That's God's design.

God's design?
According to who?
Let me ask u a simple question. The early Christians (the apostles) when they needed fund for the ministry, how was it recorded they got the funds? By recieving tithes?
Was it not recorded that each gave freely ?

You are all know the truth but chose to ignore it for your own personal greed.

Continue! the heaven will be a place of many surprises.

simplesearch:
Well, the truth is that every second wife is a thief, an intruder, a trespasser and an adulterer. There is no space for second wife in the new testament; it's one man to one wife till death do you part. Infact both the one who marry another as second wife and the one who accept the offer are guilty before God.

Mark 10:6
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

Matthew 19:6
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Whoever you're therefore as a second wife stealing the heart that belong to another and putting asunder what God has joined together shall not be guiltless. So as a second wife you must repent of living in disobedience to God's command, restitute your ways and leave the man's house for the rightful owner. If the man chooses to continue in his immoral ways let it not be on your account.

1 Timothy 5:22
...................neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

This command cut across every tradition and religion.

Can u see that despite your wide search and serious attempts u still couldn't find a verse or quote to say emphatically that polygamy is a sin.

Yes he created them male and female, and so?
After creating them he was also aware when men started taking 2 and more wives and NEVER for once was it recorded that he objected to it. On various occasions he even masterminded it.


Are you aware of the fact that the 12 tribes of Israel was a preodained happening. And that Jesus was prophesied to be of the tribe of Judah? And that the 12 tribes wouldn't have been possible without Jacob marrying 2 wives?
Or u felt Jacob sinned against God when he married both sisters?

I don't know what the problem with today's christians are.

What you are practicing is western culture diffused into Christianity. But u have been brainwashed into believing it is standard of Christianity.

Lets move into the new testament.
Apart from when it was made mentioned of as one of the criteria for a leader, where else was it boldly written that men should not take 2 wives?

Why wasn't it enforced that the early christians
(Many of which had multiple wives) should put away their other wives as it was a sin?

Why is it that in all the teachings and sermons of Christ and all the apostles this wasn't EVER mentioned.
Yet u all are suddenly enforcing it as if u are GOd.

U know the funny thing? You won't talk if Mercy was still just sleeping/fornicating with the Adeoti but not married to him, that one is not a problem for u. But it is a problem for u the minute she married him.
hypocrites!

The unfortunate truth is that this is true for almost every company in Nigeria today.
Be it banks, telecoms or even multinational. Women are used as sexual tools by several Randy bosses.

While some ladies actually care and are genuinely troubled by this, some are actually happy as it gives them an edge over their male peers in the industry.

This one just happened to get his cup overfull. So much exposure in one letter. Even if Dem no sack am, I am sure his libido will drop for 1month straight.

Hmm.
And this one makes it to front page

Nice one pretty lady.

Revolution2022:
If NATO, ECOWAS and European union are imposing sanctions against bad African dictators like Buhari,and placing a travel ban on their families and seize their foreign assets,they will think twice before taking a draconian policies.

Lol. Unfortunately u don't know whatsup

omeira:
So it's okay if it had been girls/women? Like then it wouldn't be beyond comprehension cos it's a hobby for men to rape/assault women? How do you men think? Like how poor are your senses of reasoning?

If you have an underlining problem that is aggitating you, I will advice you seek help rather than finding fights online jumping into conclusions up and down.

How difficult is it to make your comments without adding insults? I can only guess you are a kid, Cus that is the only explanation to it.

Where did u see me say it would be ok if it were girls/women?
So because I chose to make a simple short statement you decide to start making noise, insinuating what I never said.
You seriously need help!

Feel free to jump into conclusions again and say whatever u want to say. I would be ignoring you henceforth.

Hmm. It is well.
What Exactly does a man find attractive in a fellow man/boy?
This is beyond comprehension

thrillionaire:
I honestly don't know how this truth is difficult for all to see.. even our learned pastors refuse to accept it. Abel Damina is one Nigerian pastor that impressed me to walk this truth.
Bless you.

Their greed will blindfold them from seeing and accepting the truth. And since we are in an era where God is super silent and let everyone do as he pleases, it will continue. Sheeps will keep being fooled by stupid dortrines. And so called "men of God" will keep lying to the congregation that God told them so so so and so. It will continue

But the word of God is truth. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

Let them continue to live under the boundage of "My pastor said"

uglyafonja:



Oga , David and Solomon built the temple of God with Gold and not even blocks....
The house of God should be the most conducive place in a sensible environment

The house of God?

They tell you that GOD lives in houses now abi?

As at that time, yes God's presence lived in temple. In the holy of hoilies where no man could enter but for the consecrated Levites/priests.
However as soon as Christ was nailed to the cross and died the veils covering the holies of holies were rented/ torn from top to bottom supernaturally.
At there and then henceforth the era of the TEMPLE ceased to exist.

God lives no longer in buildings , but in you if you allow him space. Your point of gathering/church isn't the house of God. If it were, the early churches would have significantly spelt it out as such.

They would have emphasised tithe to build z cathedral, instead of free givings and offerings to help one another and the poor.

YinkaOlusesi16:
they dont spend money in heaven, money is only meant to be spent on earth, and the tithe u gave in church is what they use to pay the pastors food allowance & also use to beautify the church of GOD, let ur understanding be clear.

Sorry to say, but sense is far from you sir.

YinkaOlusesi16:
All of you abusing the pastor lack spiritual understanding. One thing that is certain about tithe is that if you dont pay ur tithe to GOD, the devil will collect it from you with force.

You all are the ones who lack spiritual understanding.
Where in all the records of the early church founded by the apostles was TITHE ever mentioned?
Where in all the teachings of Christ was tithe ever mentioned?
Christ preached love and free giving. Paul in all his letters to the early churches NEVER for once spoke about TITHE. And you all never get to understand why.

You decide to import a law which was created to ensure the Levites were taken care of, law that was only significant before Christianity started. But for your own selfish greedy agenda, you turn it into law in your own Christianity.

Why didn't you also import burning of incense and sacrificing of sheeps so that we can kuku know that you want to please God.

Righteousness2:
Gambling is a Spirit. A very wicked and destructive spirit. Just like sucubus and incubus.

Your bro needs a constant dose of the word of GOD and Deliverance prayers. This will chase out the spirit and the spirit of GOD will come in and take over.

I recommend You begin to attend services at the Lord's Chosen with your brother. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

Spoken like a religious marketer canvassing not for Christ but for a church denomination.

I am truly disappointed but not surprised after all. This is what we call Christianity!

Do not allow some risk averse persons advise you. Nothing is unsellable to radical investors.

Investors all over the world sell multimillion dollar businesses and investments. Google bought android for billions of dollars. Pfizer bought Warner-Lambert for $90 billion. Here in Nigeria, Japanese firm, Ohara Pharmaceuticals bought a 21.75% stake in Fidson Health Care with N700 million. Otedola sold Forte oil for millions of dollars, a company he invested his life and energy.

How much is your house that you can't sell to make better earnings? Las las N10m??

Go ahead and sell it as long as you have a solid plan in place to double or triple the worth.

If you follow the advice around here from scare mongers, you will just die a common man. But make sure you have a solid plan to avoid regrets. Personally, I can sell my house to invest in mutual funds (if the mutual funds show better potentials). Na poor man mentality dey preserve "inheritance" wey no worth shi-shi.

Same way our grandmamas preserved worthless wrappers and pots. Money they should have used to buy shares in Google and Apple so their grand kids can cash out big today, but financial illiteracy na bas.tard.

Smiles. Very nice comparisms.
I very well hope you know that there is a difference between taking risks and being reckless?

Google bought Android for billions of dollars, YES!
Cant u see there is a big difference in this compared to what the OP is planning to do?
Did u hear that the owners of Google sold Google?

Wasn't it profits and funds from other sources that was pooled together to buy ANDROID? Or you read that they closed shop?

Don't be a reckless investor. You might be lucky to scale through, but you will not always be lucky.

badbreathcure101:
better to fail than not to try. In your youths you have everything except money. Take both calculated and uncalculated risks, do alot of things, some may fail some may work but the ones that failed will teach u a valuable lesson. Bro u don't to get old and regret the things you didn't do trust me on that.

No one is telling him not to TRY. Yes it is good to try new businesses. But don't kill a good one already running in order to start an uncertain one.

Find the money for the new one elsewhere.

That would be a very bad action to take.
No matter how certain you are of the business's prospects NEVER sell property because of it.

If u are that certain, get a loan from somewhere else to invest in the business. If you cannot find a loan, just forget the business for now.

This is coming from personal experience. Business is always sweet on paper, but ....

Stedygrowth:
Op, what you're going through is normal. The response you're experiencing is completely biological in nature, remember, you have not met her before. She, being your cousin's sister, does not in any way, stop from being a woman she is. The problem here is that, there is no conditioning between you two that establish the fact that you guys are sisters, as such, there is a clear prediction that if you have opportunity, you will make love to her.
Based on the above submission, I will suggest you help her find a place to stay. Even if she changes the way she dresses from now on, it will not still change anything, because you have been conditioned already. Until you will not rest. So, to be on the safe side, find a place for her as quickly as possible.
This does not require discipline, it require removing or staying away from the source of the stimulus. If you keep staying, you will do it one day.

God bless you. I am seriously fed up with all those posters calling the guy a pervert. Are you angels? This is a very normal occurrence. No matter ur level of discipline don't tempt urself. You will fall one day.

Remove the stimulus. Simple

Hmm.
Something serious is brewing in both southeast and Southwest. May God protect us all.

I find it interesting that there was absolutely no mention of tithing by either Christ or any of his apostles. All records of early christianity failed to record it. Yet our modern day christians went to dig it out and made it a law, and you all can't see there is something wrong.

Is tithing the only law in the old testament?
Why not dig out killing of rams and birds and burning of offerings so that u can show that u know bible well.

Anyone who refuses to read and understand the word will only continue to live under falsehood termed "TRUTH" by so called God's chosen.

Preator:


hmmmn. So we are to eat our tithes in the house of God?

22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year.

23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always.

24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away),

25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose.

26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice.

27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.

28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns,

29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Source: Deuteronomy 14: 22-29

False claim 1. The tithe applies to everyone. This is not true because tithing only applied to those in Israel who who were farmers and ranchers among the 11 tribes who paid the tithe to the Levites. It should also be known that the tithe was commanded for the Levites and since Jesus was from the tribe of Benjamin, the Bible says nothing about the tribe of Benjamin receiving tithes. Therefore, the argument that you pay tithes to Jesus is false because he was not from the tribe of Levi.

False claim 2. God requires you to give 10% of your income to the church as a tithe. This is not true because there is not chapters and verse that covers monetary tithing. And because the tithe is empirically defined as food, money was not the tithe of the Bible nor is money required as a tithe in church.

False claim 3. God will curse you if you don’t tithe. This is true only if you did not tithe crops and livestock as God required in the law. There is not curse for not tithing money since the biblical tithe is all edible items.

False Claim 4. God will make you rich by pouring out blessings from the windows of heaven. This is false because the windows of heaven is not about money, it is about the expanse of the sky from which rain falls. If you tithe money when the Bibles does not endorse this action, there is no benefit to you because the practice is based on custom, tradition and man’s Law not God’s law.

"I Might Die Before Tomorrow": Man Killed In Ibadan Robbery Attack Wrote Before His Death (Photos)

Family members and friends of Mubarak Sulaiman, who was killed by the armed robbers that attacked a bullion van around Idi-Ape area of Ibadan on Thursday, February 10, 2022, have taken to social media to mourn him, IGBERETV reports.

Mubarak, a trained biomedical scientist, Arabic Language tutor, consultant, and coach, was hit by a stray bullet fired by the robbers who killed two police officers, two civilians and carted away millions of Naira from the bullion van.

One of Sulaiman's friends, Akinkunmi Akinpelu, in a post shared on his Facebook page, stated that the deceased might have had a premonition of his death. Akinpelu shared the last conversation he had with Sulaiman, where the deceased requested to make payment for a service immediately stating that he may not be alive the next day.

No be me you go kill

Not bad. But this might not nessesarily be a night club. There is nothing to categorically depict it as one.

What a weird event.. the matter should be properly investigated tho..
If this is true then It's quite unfortunate Killin someone you are meant to protect in such horrible manner..

Investigate what?
Is it today you are just knowing that these sort of things happen on a regular basis. Only lies and more lies keep covering them up. What was the result of the investigation on the massacre at the lekki tollgate?

When the government or people in power lie, their lie becomes the "truth"

May God keep us from unfortunate happenings

A guy in his Early 20s, who lives just a stone-throw from my doormouth here in Awka fought his father because his father compared him with one notorious yahoo boy in the area.

His father was like "look at ragzzy( not the Yahoo boy's real name), he is super rich, he has exotic cars and houses, all you do everyday is stay here and eat my food and keep roaming round the city"

The boy on his own part was like "Yes, I'm as poor as church rat, the poverty I inherited from you as a result of your laziness and roaming around the city when your mates like Peter Obi, Ifeanyi Uba, Arthur Eze, Dangote, Otedola were busy building foundation for their unborn children"

The angered father couldn't hold himself and angrily rushed towards his son which resulted in serious exchange of blows between the father and his son.

The boy get bad mouth na
