Very useful topic and found a lot of interesting comments largely based on sentiments. I went through Consumer reviews in the US and based on the statistics of complains, it is clear that Toyota cars have less issues. I was particularly stunned by the consumers complains of Honda Transmission that was at 59%, and the highest complain against the Toyota was 19% on AC/Heaters. Maybe that explains the popularity of Toyota. I will go for a Toyota for obvious reasons.

I think a lot of Nigerians are too much in a hurry to carpet our leaders, as we expect a quantum change. The Govt. is making steady progress and should be encouraged. I travel very often and most of the airports are undergoing a facelift(Lag, Owerri, Enugu and the rests). I drove from Asaba to Lagos three days ago and reached Lagos at 12 miday after leaving by 7am. The road has improved greatly. Let us be positive afterall the stories we hear from Syria shld make us thank our leaders at all levels. I believe our greatest grouse with the GEJ is his seemingly incapacity to fight corruption. Corruption is so deep rooted and such a monster and should be fought tactfully. A keen knowledge of this Country has shown that any Govt. that wants to fight corruption headlong is usually the victim. Ask Buhari and reflect on the that of the Murtala regime. Let us look at the structure of the Country and why are the local Govts almost quiescent with all the allocation they receive. If GEJ tries to fight corruption the way a lot of us want, his Govt will come down fast. The Country is held by corruption and any Govt that wants to wrestle corruption would be cut short. Let us pray and continue to put pressure on all levels of govt for good governance. No Leader can change the country overnight particularly with various forces and intrigue. As we speak, various forces want to pull the govt. down, as if there is a magic wand to the decay that has plagued the country for decades.
Lets give the Govt some encouragement and continue to watch and critisise constructivley.

goshen360: [size=13pt]@ OP,

You will notice it's only when it comes to tithe that all these verses from OLD TESTAMENT are pull up. I am doing a comprehensive teachings on tithe and will take up to 2 months or more to finish it here on NL considering questions and answers. It's all about using the bible to explain the bible and interpreting the bible in CONTEXT.

Stone your rebellious sons to death, they will tell you we are under the grace and not under the Law so we cannot do that anymore. Why is it ONLY tithe they STILL STICK to in the Old Testament? Why? But the tithe teachers will never let you see or want you to see this verse in Deuteronomy 14:21-29 nkjv but am not quoting all here, you can read for yourself:

v22: "You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year.

v23: "And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.

The biblical tithe as you can see IF TRULY NEEDS TO BE PRACTICED SHOULD BE FROM FARM PRODUCE NOT MONEY TITHE. MONEY EXISTED IN THOSE DAYS BUT GOD NEVER ASKED HIS PEOPLE TO TITHE MONEY. GOD IS SPECIFIC WHEN IT COMES TO INSTRUCTIONS. If you read the whole of that verse, God also told them to use the tithe when converted to MONEY, it should be used for WHATEVER YOUR HEART DESIRES. v25-26.

Above all, Jesus said: If you can "do it" to any of these ones, you have done it to me. My dear sister, GO YOUR WAY WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT TWICE AND GIVE YOU BROTHER IN NEED. THIS IS TRUE RELIGION IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. Read the book of James chapter 1:27 - 2:end.

Tithe had being abolished in the new testament but we are left with GIVING that comes from our heart, that is cheerful, that is spirit led not according to law of Moses.[/size]

I commend your informed contribution and please continue to enlighten us on the true gospel( New Wine) and Not Old Wine ( Judaism)

Emylexray:
WRONG SIR...JESUS taught tithing, he even paid tithe himself, the following bibles chapters attest to that fact:
LUKE 18 vs 12: '' i fast twice in the week, I EVEN GIVE TITHES OF ALL THAT I POSSESS''(jesus speaking)
LUKE 11 vs 42: ''But woe unto you, pharisees! For ye TITHE mint and rue all manner of herbs, and pass over judgement and the love of God: these ought ye have done, and not to leave the other undone''.
Jesus' teachings on tithing in the above Bible verses. Where do you stand now?

Jesus was quoting the Pharisee as against the Publican (Tax Collector). It was not the tithe paying Pharisee that was justified but the Tax Collector

Goshen response is very apt and most correct. I do not know why Christians would not follow the teachings of Christ( Christ said you do not put new wine into old bottles Luke 5.37).
There is no way the laws of tithe can be observed in the contemporary church of today, that explains why it was not commanded by Christ nor his Apostles.
The Tithes was for the Chidren of Levi for an inheritance Num 18. 21 and the Levites were not to own property as they had no inheritance in the land Num 18.20.
In the Church of today every Christian is a Levite and should give willingly as he purposeth in his heart 2 Cor 9 . 7. Above all giving should be motivated by love( for God and man). Righteous giving of what you have prompted by love as instructed by our Lord in Luke 6 ;30 - 37. Remember the very popular verse on Giving; Luke 6 :38( Give it shall be given unto you)was premised on Luke 6:30 - 37.
Let Christian Teachers teach on Love( Matt 5: 44 - 48 and Giving of Alms Matt 6: 1- 4. Why are we not emphasizing the teachings of Christ. Let us check our Bible very well! How many times did Christ talked about Love and Righteousness? Every Chapter.
Virtually every part of the teachings of Christ encapsulates Love and Rightousness as seen in the Gospel(Matt - John). How many times did Christ talked about Tithe (3 times and not encouragingly as it was in condemning the Pharisees).
The Apostles continued in the same manner as Christ and made no reference to tithe as it is not in the Apostles Doctrine(True Christian teachings). But check out the Apostles teachings on Love and Rightousness( All the Epistles). Giving of self is what is emphasized Rom 12 1-2.

Nobody can practice tithing as in the old testament Mal 3, Num 18, Lev 27 and many others. The Shekel was the currency in Isreal and they never gave tithes in money but farm produce.
How come Christ who is now the High Priest of Malachi did not collect Tithe that was why he had no money for Temple Tax. How come Christ did not instruct the Apostles when He commissioned them in Matt 10: 8 to freely give the gospel, even when they were to preach among only the Jews.

The dispensation of tithe as in Mal 3 : 8 ended with the coming of Christ. We should remember that it was only the Levites of old that were exclusively the priestly family and Christ was from the family of Judah and would not have met the criterion if the Judaic laws were to apply.

If Mal 3 : 8 were to apply, then only Christians and specifically tithe paying ones would be prosperous and all others would have been suffering from the curse of Mal 3: 8.
Let Christians submit their hearts fully to Christ and a heart for Christ gives the inclination to give bountifully even more than the controvertial 10 percent that was never collected by Christ nor His apostles.

There appears to be more to it than the story. Was he the only one in the elevator? How come there was no operator in the elevator as it is usually the case with elevators in public buildings?How come the man did not notice the depth of the shaft that would have opened midway?A lot of unanswered quetsions?Proper investgation needs to be carried out.
