alBHAGDADI:
Did you read the OP at?

Incest is immoral? Was it not the law that made you know that? Is the law not the knowledge of sin?

Please go and read the OP and stop reacting base on the headline.

So without the law. You would have had carnal act with you sisters.
Even our traditional worshippers don't indulge in such act. Are they under the law too? Is their any law that ask you to wear clothes and not walk naked.

alBHAGDADI:
So because they did not talk about incest, we can all go and sleep with our sisters which is against the law of the old testament?

Tithing is not salvation but obedience. If you don't tithe, you will still be saved. But to say tithing is wrong is what I'm against.

Incest is moral. There are some absurd things you don't need to be told is wrong. Tithes are meant to be given to Levi's cos God commanded them not to work. Hence, why other tribes Don't collect tithe.
Moreover, we are Christlike, Jesus never pay or receive tithe.

alBHAGDADI:
And there is nowhere in the same New Testament where Christians are told not to pay tithe. This means it holds. Stopping Christians from paying tithe is the same as speaking when God has not spoken.

It doesn't hold. Our salvation is not based on Moses but Christ. And the early christians only give what they have for gospel. There is no fraction to it. If tithe is really necessary, do you think one of them would have not talk about it.
NOTE: am not against tithing, those who wish should do based on conviction. We only picked verse we are comfortable with in the Bible to suit us

alBHAGDADI:
Do you know what the problem os with you anti-tithers and everyone who believes the tithe money should be taken straight to widows and orphans instead of the house of God? You make decisions without Bible backings, in the process you offend God. Here you have said the house of God are widows and orphans. Where is that written in the Bible? You also said the society is the church. Where is that written in the Bible? Stop making claims based on your own understanding.

God said the tithe is his, he didn't say it is for widows even though he told the high priest to help the windows out of it. It is not your duty to give it to the widows because it means you are assuming the role of the priest. It is the duty of the priest to take some of the tithe and use it to help the needy.

Tithe is totally different from you helping the poor. Give God his dues and proceed to help the poor. Otherwise it will mean that you are wise in your own understanding.

And mind you, Jesus was talking about his brothers in that Bible Passage you quoted. Who are his brothers? They are believers, not some Tom divk and Harry across the street.

John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

This means that his brothers whom we are to feed are actually needy Christians whom we can find in Church, not some random loser on the street who only wants to remain a junkie and lazy because he knows someone will feed him.

He might be right. There is no where in the new testament that the Bible ask christians to pay tithe. This is not coincidence. Tithe is a personal decision

GODISGREAT123:
Buhari is such a predictable ethnic bigot

My biggest regret in life is voting for the lifeless fellow. Nepotism at the highest order

It's unfortunate this happened in bida. Bida used to be very peaceful. I spent 5 years here and nothing like this happened. RIP to the dead. I know they will shut the school for the next three months. Then, when school resumes, the students will pay damages not less than 10k each.

Why you guys sounding like he is obligated to hold that child? Why for God's sake? He is under no obligation whatsoever to do so.
He may decide to do so as a goodwill, a priviledge and not a right.
If the father of the girl is not alive, then we can say he is inconsiderate because there are limited options. But her father rejected her possibly because another woman wont keep a child that is not hers in her home and u all are here blaming an innocent man?
Why are u guys not asking the step mother to be considerate to take the girl? I will never accept a child of my wife whose father is alive and able.
She choses either to stay with me and our kids or she move out and stay with her daughter and leave me with my kids

Same response from moi. If the dad is dead, then it's different entirely. But him being alive, it's a no no from me.

Sap0:
your mindset is wrong though... you will not accept the child, the child born by your wife just because that child belongs to another man,what message does that even send to your wife?
honestly humanity has gone to the dogs

It's my decision and I stand by it. I can not take care of another person responsibility while he is still alive.

UBGG:
The father said no. The grandmother, same response. I cannot help but think something is off with the child.

I most certainly cannot bring a child I don't know her/his behaviour, energy, emotional state or the environment he/she was raised to mingle with my kids.

Let the heaven fall. Let folks cry tears of blood. No way!!!

Sincerely, I will not accept the child. I will only take the child in if the father is dead.

UBGG:
If your wife's mother cannot accommodate her own grandchild sans any modicum of guilt about it, don't let anyone emotionally blackmail you into doing it.

I too cannot be responsible for another woman's baby. I am one of those who could help financially so long as it far away from my home. I am unashamed of my stand and so should you.

If you let the opinion of the emotional folks here compel you to do it, I assure you you'll emotionally, mentally and even physically abuse that child.

Again, there's no shame in your decision. Some of us just cannot care for certain reminders in the form of babies.

Better talk. Don't be emotional blackmail in making a decision.

Odobopa:
So what's your point bros.. Should he accept the kid or not?

His decision. This should not be forced on him

It's so funny how people talk. It's easier to give advice when you are not in that position. The child father denied his own child. The child grandma denied the same child. So, because he is the child stepfather, it is now his crime to take the child without us knowing his financial condition. I feel for u bro. However, make a decision you will stand by.

just continue ok. Read Deut 30: 15-18 and see what you've been doing to yourself. Loss's My people perish for lack of knowledge

there is no confusion anywhere. you can't give what you dont have. 1 Corinthians 8 has done justice to that. it is not and never wrong however because of young Christians, it is not advisable for mature Christian to eat it cos their faith might not been strong for that. for sumone like me, I will overeat as my God provides all meal.
