Pastor Kun:
It was the Israelites who where under the defunct laws of Moses that first fruits was directed to, it is not applicable to christians who are not under that law. Christians are under grace meaning first fruits, tithes and the over six hundred mosaic laws are not applicable to christians. Preachers today just hammer on(a twisted interpretation) of first fruits and tithes becos it means more money for them. There is clearly no biblical definition of first fruit or tithes that is applicable to us today hence you see preachers inventing their own definition. That aside the apostles that started the early church never adopted any of these Jewish practises into the church, rather they made it clear that it was an unnecessary burden to believers and it wasn't applicable to the christian faith. You may wish to read Acts:15 to understand the early church's position on Jewish laws.

Thanks PastorKun,

Can't but agree 100% anymore. Also add to your sound biblical statement, The new testament didn't start in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John rather they are ending books to the Old testament. Where there is a testament (a will, agreement, covenant) there must of necessity be the death of a testator and a will is no force or effect until the death of the testator. Jesus, walking in Mathew, Mark, Luke and John was ending the Mosaic Law and establishing the new testament that will take effect after His death. Jesus already fulfilled the Law and became a curse for us, why are we still trying to keep them. Apostles NEVER asked for first fruits offerings, Jesus NEVER asked for it but GREEDY wolves in sheep's clothing are asking for it to build empires and institution, create ungodly church branches and command tithes and first fruits to be brought to headquarters. The only thing the new testament left us with is GIVING. Giving to the poor, orphans, neighbors and to the true work of God where you are led and give freely and without grudges in your heart for God loves a cheerful giver.

Waiting for my brother, image360 to come on board since you already failed it.

, and Jesus wept. smh

How many parts is the bible divided into "IN CONTEXT", NOT AS DIVIDED FOR READABILITY OR EASY ACCESSIBILITY AS WE HAVE TODAY. Support with bible verses please.

@ image123,
The poster raised an important question and that is the purpose of this discussion. The poster said, why do the GOs rotate the pastors and they themselves are not being rotated? Why must it be only the pastors only,if I may amplify the question. You and I have given same biblical position that spiritual leaders are ordained by God and cannot be rotated but the point in the question remains,since the pastor in branches are also ordained and sent by leading of the holy spirit,why are they the only ones being rotated? Except something is wrong somewhere.

I know you just want to know the denomination folks belongs to and there's absolutely nothing wrong in that itself but don't get caught up in churchianity is what am saying.

Point of correction my brother, it is tomorrow's world tv program, not world tomorrow.lol. I know the church here in the USA. They give out their books and articles for FREE,unlike, (fill in d gap for yourself), I don't wanna get into trouble pls,lol

Thanks bro, to God be the glory. It is my desire to be a good teacher of God's word. I hope same for my brother, image360,lol

@ poster,

PLEASE EXIT CHURCHIANITY

I am just wondering why the office of a G.O cannot be rotated? Is democracy foreign to the church? I have seen a church where the G.O's office is permanent while other officers are rotated every 2 years.

Please lets have mature discussion and let everyone of us learn.

First of all, I want to thank you for this kind of thread. I have many burden I have carried in my heart for long and the Lord is leading me to begin to put some teachings together. This thread is one of the things am putting biblical teaching  about. One of the problem in the church today is that, when you are not famous or have a voice in the body of Christ, people easily look down on you even when you speak the truth and for that reason, I cannot bring up some teachings here on Nairaland.

To respond to your thread. The Church today is doing business out of the great commission of Christ and this is UNBIBLICAL. It is unbiblical in the sense that, Jesus never commanded us to go establish Churches while we create a worldly kind of system whereby branches are made to bring all generated tithes and offerings to headquarter Church.

Secondly, Apostle Paul established many churches and he never oversee any of them to be under him as the one that created such churches. Today, men have become greedy and institutionalized the Church. Yes we are doing the work of God but with worldly standard or worldly methods hereby creating ungodly burdens on God's people. We have a standard in the word of God and Acts of the Apostles is the foundation of the Church of God and nothing different should be built on a foundation except we are trying to write another bible.

To the main question now. If the Church had done things in the right biblical way and based on the foundation, there will be no need for general overseer in the first place and not need for institutionalization of the Church organization. Should a Church establish branches? Yes but not bringing them under an institutionalized headquarter.  The Church is not a democratic settings. Spiritual leaders are ordained by God and MUST not be replaced or rotated. So now that the Church had adopted the worldly ways of doing godly things, why should we be replacing or rotating the pastors and not rotate the GOs as well? Is it not a partial ground to change a pastor and not change the GOs since the pastor are put there by the leading of the Spirit, except something is wrong. I hope you catch my tone and see what am talking about? This Church is not a worldly organization but the Church herself had made it like a worldly organization and institution.

I am willing that we talk maturely about this subject but I might be out if insults start to come in. I am beginning to see a lot of errors on Nairaland where new generation of Christians are not willing to accept any other biblical truth because it is not taught by their denomination or spiritual head. Hence, they strongly oppose any other truth coming outside their denomination and taking such truth as false. Folks here are also ready to defend their spiritual leaders to any length even when such leaders are wrong. I can point you a lot of things the Church is doing today that are very unbiblical but I will rather wait till appointed time.

I will stop here as other things will come up when others contribute.

God bless you.
