Some human actions warrant some spiritual demands. For example, God does not want people who have not committed any sin to ask for forgiveness. This is just an example, it does not mean that tithe is for sinners. Tithes are to be paid by only Jews and only to Levitical priests because Levites were given no land (Numbers 18:20-21). The Levites have no farm for food. The tithe, which was even paid in form of food items and not in form of money, was to feed the Levites.

The churches of today pay offerings that are enough to pay pastors salaries. Also, the pastors are not forbidden to work or do business on the days they are not in the church. So, tithe is not necessary for pastors' upkeep.

Note that Jews who paid tithe did it according to the laws of Moses. Christ did not charge people to pay tithe.

Did Christ not Say "Obey the Commandments" in oft saying "What do the Commandments Say?" "Go and Do likewise" or "this do"?

Your mother is wrong!

What you practice in your churches which you call tithing and first fruits have absolutely nothing to do with that described in scripture nor commanded of the people of Israel - those who have the blood of Jacob coursing through their veins - in the land of cannaan - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20.

I am afraid you would have to inquire from your mother's pastors and mogs of the particulars of the tithe and first fruits Plans of his church business to get the answers you seek instead.

You never hear "O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD" Jeremiah 22:29

Jeremiah 7:23

“But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.”

Tithe does not prevent misfortunes. Tithe does not prevent the consequences of wrong business decisions. A tithe is not for financial prosperity..

You are wrong because of the spirit of your information.

However, it is True because tithe is not God and therefore, it can not do anything of its own.

Ibime2003:
...Now my question is this to all Tithe and First fruit payers and faithfuls, is it true that since you have been faithful with paying your tithe and First fruit, you have never suffered any loss, nobody has ever duped you, the economy has never affected you negatively, you have never suffered any misfortune, you have never been robbed or kidnapped for ransome, you have never fallen sick, you have never lost property to fire or water disasters, you have never suffered from any terminal disease and you have never suffered any economic loss no matter how small it is...

Yes, it is True!

But it is not the tithes and first fruits, it Someone, Who you do not Want!

I guarantee you, as many former church goers would tell you, tithes and first fruit will have no effect because, like them, you Truly do not want God.

You only want His Goods and His Promises.

Kobojunkie:
Stop reading the book upside down.

All the passages quoted there all come from the Old Covenant or made reference to the Old Covenant Law, the National Constitution God gave only to the nation of Israel, and there were no Christians in the Old Covenant. Instead, Christians live according to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, the Christ in the word Christian.

You never listen, Christ was in parables teaching "Obey The Commandments and Statutes and Testimony".

But because you hate The Law given to Moses you are happy to discard The Law which God Himself Wrote and taught Moses to teach the people of Israel and hang on to any Scrip which you can use to soothe your fear.

You would do well for yourself to to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do [that which is] right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.

LordLugard1:
Check the list you will see a reason you should have been killed according to your bible

Aside your twisted perception and presentation (Again, the evil of half Truths at work) did you not hear that Noah, Job and Daniel made it through?

There is A Way and we have The Way so it is not a problem for Christians as they would pass them all.

But that can not be said for church goers and of course satanist/God haters codenamed atheists are the front carcasses

Steep:
One of the lies that have being fed humans is that all religions lead to God. People are taught that truth has different versions, people are taught to just be good people or have clear mind and that is what you need.

But is truth relative? Are there different versions of truth?

"Truth, will always be Truth regardless of lack of comprehension, understanding, refusal to believe, shock and hatred." W. Clement Stone

For truth to be truth it has to be absolute
A half truth is worse than a lie!....

A half Truth or an incomplete Truth is wickedness and a great evil!

Steep:
The spirit of man is not The Spirit (the Holy ghost).

I confine myself to Genesis 6:3 "My Spirit...". And since God is Holy,... that is sufficient.

Steep:
men do not choose to die! They are dead already in sin.
All humans are dead in sin already.

No sir! They choose to die!

And then their deaths occur because they sin!

That is The Law of "Since thou hast done this" on which The Law of "Who will render to every man according to his deeds" stands upon.

Adam did not die until "he deed" (or did, whichever you prefer)

Same for the people of the old world, same for the Amalekites and co, same for the children of Israel.

God was not joking when He Said "I Change Not!"

Steep:
an unregenerated man's spirit nature is dead in sin. That is why the spirit of God has to strive to convict them of their sins.

As long as you have said "unregenerated man's spirit" you prove my case for you admit that man in Truth does have The Spirit, even if it is dormant in many a men.

Steep:
The flesh is the sin nature. ....

Yes, this is True BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE SPIRIT NATURE TOO, WHICH IS GOD FULL AND GODLY.

My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” Genesis 6:3

But men choose to die.

hakeem4:
Why do I have to ask god for forgiveness for a sin I didn’t partake in (adams sin) .

Sin/Crime is in personam and is not transferable.

And no where has God convicted any person for a sin committed by another.

He has never done so and will never do so.

"He shall render to every man according to his deeds" Romans 2:6, and this is The Law!

O Lord, is it not yet time to Come that the inhabitants of the earth shall mourn as you Said and die of heart attack, yet unable to die?

MindHacker9000:
Judea was destroyed around 66 AD and Jesus said “Immediately after the distress of those days" He would return.

Matthew:
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time....

Putting aside your insane perception of Mathew 24, in that time did anyone say "look, here is the Messiah?"

No. Didn't happen

But here in Nairaland, Otematum, foj, worckch, unhappypagan and many others did prove that the prophecy is indeed in these days.

And you yourself are just another type of evil come to pluck up any and all who are not on The Lord's Side in line with the fulfillment of the prophecy.

MrBrownJay1:
mumu sheeples dont care... common sense don comot from their brain.

Saying by goatsies who choose to die, yet have refused to drink snyper/hypo or jumping into the sea.

Felimax:
Surely you know there are people who don't believe at all in the Jesus story.
In fact, as the time progresses more and more people are finding every iota of reason not to believe at all in the God theory.

Sure, it is in line with what was prophecied. "An evil generation cometh"

Felimax:
The sense of sin is decaying and everything sinful is becoming even sweeter, gradually you can see the world is drifting. Can you?

Yeah, I do see that they love sin.

But I also see them hotly wail and cry and curse and even kill themselves murdering others along as they lament the loss of goods and their former pleasurable sin turned into suicidal murderous pain.

Exactly as prophecied.

So I do see where the world is headed and lo, behold we are even there, that is, Death of the world and Mankind. The inhabitants of the world shall suffer one form of man caused death or the other, till the last man standing who when he seeth that alas he is alone, then shall he murder himself.

That is where the world is already and as you can see in the news, people are now afraid of their own shadows, even the murderers too.

Steep:
this is called the sin nature, it is the desire to rebel against God and to commit sin.

I do not think it is right to call it sin nature, for as life has proven, the choice to become a sinner, is one of Desire and Decision exactly the same Judgement God arrived on to wit
"The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil ALL THE TIME.

We also have the God Nature, but if you examine every sin, you would see that the sinners did see the choice to not sin but but motivated by the pleasure and profit of sin, they therefore chose it.

Which is why they even dared to think themselves good when they once turned away from doing an evil thing.

MindHacker9000:
Which is how Satan has used this FAKE second coming to Hypnotise and destroy the minds of mankind.

What is the evil or danger in waiting to be promoted?

None.

What is the loss we suffer for waiting?

None.

Are you suffering from our wait?
Obviously you are and only one group of people suffersl from our waiting and that is Satan and all his children.

Steep:
The answer is sin!
....

True!

But also because people are very very stupid in thinking that they can do whatever they please because God is what we would call Too Good!

MindHacker9000:
Is this not Hypnotisation to still be waiting for the second coming of Jesus when He promised He would rise up in three days,...

Is this not exactly the same type of evil Satan used to destroy mankind?

Well, it is indeed said "like father, like son"!

Felimax:
He also made bold to say He does not know the hour nor the day but went ahead to tell us how we will know when the time has come.

Virtually everything he told us is coming conclusively to pass.
From Man made Jesus themselves to Mummy G.Os and the rest of them you can easily tell the authenticity of Jesus prophesies.

Jesus may not be coming so soon because until the world is completely led astray (apostasy) there are some selected few who will never be allowed to be led astray but with time they too may expire from the earth.

Satan never ceases to find ways of causing people to be destroyed.

The parable clearly tells us what to do whilst we await the Return of the Master of The House.

So what is hypnotic about doing all the regular and lawful things which one would still have done even if the Master was Home?

PRE4:
He is quick to apologize and then do worsw..he is a cheerful giver..he gives to a fault

Evil people are very capable of doing things which people would call good, but in their hands it is never good..

The Bible did say there is a time for war and a time to cast stones!

Still no comments! Is that how shocking it is? Well, there is more.

In the absence of objections and comments therefore continue.

Now, it is very noticeable that immediately after that trick of "Legal.. something" which is not "The Law" Method or something which we all came to learn, the law texts then divert and somersaulted to "What is Law/Meaning of Law"!!!

How can they do this?

Is the course not "Legal Method" again? (and they have clearly explained to us that "legal" is not the same as Law"? For "legal" IS ONLY AN ATTACHMENT, like a virus to a file and the File is Law, which we came to study but they are making us study the virus)

Therefore, should the next topic not be "What is Legal/Meaning of Legal?" and not "What is Law/Meaning of Law".

Why did they switch over to Law when they did not start with Law?

And the focus was not on Law but on the Attachment called "legal"!

Am I the only one sees and who smells a fraud and deceit here?

Yes. And that's the Gospel Truth!

valnino:
Fellow Nairalanders please how true is this Bible passage.

That is what Holiness and Holy Nation means.

There must be no wrong doing and evil can not be tolerated.

That is how hotly God hates adultery.

And people are playing with it as though it was butternut today, even church goers and they still expect to escape lake of fire. What a funny.

FatherOfJesus:
I'm God, I am that I am

Yes! god of mannequins and robots and phones and laptops. You are dat you are

Folake4u, and other fresh law graduates your inputs are needed most especially as you can still remember the eye and heart with which you used to approach the Law Course.

Cc: ibechris, jmoor could you let me have your thoughts and opinions on this?

As part of my CLE, I decided to review all the law texts and subjects we were taught in school and consider this.

By Jamb, our course of study is "Law" right?

Then we entered school and we saw "Legal Method" (of course, by our secondary school mind legal and law mean the same thing, right?)

Hence "legal method" will by our secondary school mind mean "Law method", right?

But look at all the explanation/definition of "Legal Method" now that one is a lawyer, it is not "Law Method".

It is about "SOMETHING CONNECTED OR A RELATION (PAPA, MAMA, ENEMY, FRIEND, PIKIN, NEIGHBOUR ETC) OF LAW.

BUT NOT THE LAW ITSELF.

Eg Google LawLane, you would see it saying

"The phrase ‘’legal method’’ contains two words – ‘’Legal’’ and ’’method’’. The word ‘’legal’’ means something relating to law.

A.O Sanni of Unilag also said

"The phrase 'legal method' is made up of two words -'legal' and 'method.' The word "method," in ordinary parlance, means a way of doing something or the quality of being well planned and organized. The word "legal," which is an adjective, connotes something connected with the law.

Same is seen in various law texts "Something Connected" or "Something Related".

So I humbly ask, did they teach "Law Method"?

For clearly, it can be seen that by the definitions/explanations, "Legal" is not "Law!

Or am I wrong?

So lawyers, help me do justice to it. Sophritebenitez, and others whose names I do not remember at the moment, what do you think.

Even you, the ordinary reasonable man on the street, you are welcome to comment.
