Joagbaje: If The Tithe is a blind animal,The Giver redeemes It With Money . True or False ?
Can you explain Verse 31

preshuzpearl: he's actually well off. Studyin on a first class scholarship abroad.
he mentioned to me one day that he was ready to forget me and move on considering how stubborn i was sayin no all d time. But that he didnt have the peace to just walk away. he is so sure God wants him to do this

Joagbaje: It's base on same principles dear. Either for tithes or offerings. People gave cash that's my point . Confront the scripture I gave and stop looking for loop hole.

You guys claim that men didn't give money as tithes in the bible . And I'm trying to clear you on the principle of redemption. Men did use money as tithe. It is not pastors invention .If you're not yet clear on this let's discuss it more. Pls no insult

The only acceptable thing in the sanctuary were the things priests could use. Other things were not acceptable ,they were converted into money. For example Carmel is an unclean animal. If a man rears Carmel ,he can't bring a tithe of it. He will give money equivalent of it. Money is general medium of exchange . Also it's not every crop that can be brought to the temple . Others were sold and the money brought in. It is called redemption.

Leviticus 27:31
And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.



You can redeem tithe , offering, or first fruit With money

Joagbaje: @pastor Kun

Are e you still of the opinion that men didn't give money as tithe ?

Kindly read this and explain


Leviticus 27:31
And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.


Leviticus 27:27
And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

Techwriter: @OP, I agree most believers on NLand don't follow arguments logically. There are reasons for this
1. All Christians are not Teachers: there are 5 fold ministries in the Bible: Pastor, Evangelist, Teacher, Apostle and Prophet(Eph 4:11). They all have there different areas of specialization. That's why organizations have spokesman. Unfotunately, nairaland is not an organization but a free for all forum. Take the medical profession for instance, there are questions/medical issues a paediatric cannot handle even though he is a medical doctor. That's why a General Hospital is often recommended where you meet all specialties. The Church (not Nairaland)is a spiritual general Hospital where you get treatment for all your spiritual issues

2. Most believers don't study their Bibles: Paul adviced his protégé Timothy to 'Study in other to show himself approved, a workman that should not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth'2 Tim 2:15. Due to lack of study, most believers are ashamed of some questions they have no answers to and resort to insults. You can never hear me insult anyone, no not even on Nairaland. Believers should not do that, Jesus even says that if you call your brother a fool you are in the danger of hell fire(Matt 5:23). To insult is Islam not Christian

3.The Bible is for learning not argument: James advices that you receive the Word of God with meekness(James 1:21). If you are not humble enough to learn, you will always take the position of argument and never understand.You wonder why Jesus called Peter and other Apostles "babes"(Matt 11:25)? because unlike the scribes and pharisees, they were willing to learn The Bible also says that the word of God is Spirit abd you need to be spiritually solvent to understand all of it. 1 Cor 2:9-11).

4. The Bible is hid from unbelievers: the bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 "If the Gospel is hid(not understood) it is hidden from them that are perishing in whom the god of this world(satan)has blinded their eyes so they cannot see the light of the glory of the gospel..."

I have more reasons to give but my advice to you is this
1. Don't come to Nairaland looking for answers about christianity
2. Give your life to Christ and receive His Word with meeknes of heart
3. before you study the word pray that God should open your eyes of understanding (Ps 119:18-19;Eph 1:17)

I'm a teacher of God's word and would soon open a thread to answer most questions that Nairalands ask

Julieccentric: Where are the zoologists?

Yomieluv: @logicboy,because the european brought xtianity,doesn't make them the all in all, being the creator of something,doesn't make u the best in it,that's why there's a word called innovation. If the whites have decided to drop xtianity,God can use the black to resusitate them. Its even said in the bible,that if men decides not to worship God,he would command the stones to do that. If not for religion,Africa would've been in chaos by now.
I totally disagree with your view.

There are some events thet defies scientific explanation,that can only be attributed to the existence of God.

But that doesn't make me a Fanatic.God bless us all.

spencer3705: dnt blame anybody bro,y cnt people take their time to make research so people kud luk up to dem 4 info as wel.GOOGLE is crying of not being used..dis forum is being abused by questns dat doesnt worth it.one luv.

Obinoscopy: 2. NOW THE ABOVE WRITTEN OBLIGATION is condition to be void in either of the following cases:

ezme: @ The House
Can anyone please throw more light on the co-op programme. It seems to be the best rout for most of us with green horns and I would like to know if it has any negative implication on the Visa application.

P.S: I would appreciate if those in Canada can talk more on this and how real the implementations are. There is the Co-op program at University of Regina, anyone presently there can help with this.

earthgreeners: @ezme and fresh dude, you can extend the expiry date on your passport at the immigration office that issued it. I dnt knw the exact amount they charge for the service...

@ezme, as for the admission...kindly check the university website for their requirements...but I think your score is high enough to get u admission...
University of Alberta and University of Waterloo are top ranked Universities.....

mercylicious: U can extend ur passport. I did mine at Abuja office. Heard u can do same at Lagos.
There is a thread on passport extension under travel, u can as well check there for current price and update. Note dt after extention, u get a new passport no, so u may reconsider if u already have travel history in ur current passport.

shema: Get your passport renewed before applying...visa won't be issued above the expiry date on your passport.

ezme: officially signing-in on here. I'm still struggling to go through the 188 pages of part1,

@Anyone who can help with this as I cant presently tell if the Veterans from part 1 still reply to this thread.

Intend to apply for an Msc Chemical engineering. I have an inclining towards process control or process systems engineering,I'm trying to make a choice of university before seeking out a supervisor. I find University of Alberta appealing though I'm also looking at Ottawa and waterloo. I wouldn't mind if anybody can say a thing or two about these schools apart from what I can find on the web. I also want to know what my chances are since I can unfortunately only document a 79% CGPA . This has been rejected by two top schools in Norway as they had applications from other Nigerians who could document 85% CGPA.

naturalwaves: D dog myt be d world's tallest dog FINE but saying it is 7feets tall standing on it's hind legs was just an unnecessary emphasy.U know Y? because animals are not measured like that.D proper way is to measure d height from ground level to d back level.Even if they will give d heights standing from d hind legs,the proper thing to do is to first of all give it's normal height in d proper manner.If U start stretching and measuring all animals like that,u will see that our cows will be measuring around 5 feets.They were just supposed to give us d height from ground level to back level cos animals do not stand and walk like humans.

berem: don't mind him! He is comparing the measurement of the height of a human to a dog! What nonsense!

gbadexy: My friend, actually it is you who got it wrong and I can just imagine you visualizing how dogs stand naturally.
Its not even subject to debate, four legged animals are measured tall standing on all four legs and long from head to tail.
So you see that nigerians know what they want and expect from their president. We just don't swallow all what we are given, we sieve facts from trash

berem: if dat dog is 7ft,then am 10ft! How tall is the tallest man on earth? So una wan tell me say dis don tall pass shaq o'neal? Abeg make una take style dey lie for NL!
