Wow. The engagement must have been so secret that even I am not aware of it

You better come clean.....

@ dmandy,

I'm sorry to say this but it's a bitter truth. I think you are still tied to religion and need to find Christ. In religion is confusion and mixture but in Christ, is rest and liberty! I'm sorry if this truth hurt you anyway. Please forgive me.

However, I prayed for you like the Apostle of Grace did,

New American Standard Bible
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

Good debate going on here. As for me, I will rather stay with what the word of God says rather than use science to justify God's word.

Whether the science say the earth is 6000 or millions or billions of years, what does the word says and how do we interpret scriptures that will not contradict another.

In addition to the OP,

Grasscutter, a micro livestock and bushmeat delicacy that used to be available in the meal of our forefathers. A good source for animal protein with low fat content. Oya\Ewuju as it called in yoruba language, Nchi in igbo language and jawji in hausa language is fast becoming scares to our generation and meals of Nigerians and Africans at large.

Reasons: Aggressive hunting, bush burning, wild life hunting etc.

Solution: WILD LIFE FARMING for preservation and eventually, for profit\money making.

Today, we have taken wild life farming especially Grasscutter farming beyond human expectation in a practical measure. Since year 2000, we have commenced a standard worth emulating and applied today's technology in rearing of Grasscutter.

How do I start-up a small scale Grasscutter Farm for future profit?

1. TRAINING
Appropriate training is required to start-up either a small/medium/large scale Grasscutter farm. Nobody succeeds at what he\she knows nothing about. Hence, it is required of an intending breeder(s) to acquire skills from a practical, experienced and successful farmer.

2. SUPPLIES OF BREEDING STOCK:
For the purpose of breeding, a group/family of 4 females and 1 male is usually sold for breeding\production purpose. After being trained, an intending breeder is expected to set-up the housing system (production stable) for the animals. Pavemgo Grasscutter farms can supply you as much as possible breeding stock you might desire to start-up your farm. Also, we supply Grasscutters for consumption for various needs e.g festive periods, hotliers, interested individuals etc.

How viable is Grasscutter farming?

Like lexy91 said earlier, it takes about 12 to 18 months to break-even of on Grasscutter farming. At this time, you can also profit depending on what you choose to do with your first litters\production - that is, whether you want to sell or you want to re-invest into your farm for expansion.

Where is the market for Grasscutter farming?

Sales is divided into 2 categories:

- Selling to other intending breeders
- Selling to consumers usually during festive periods, hoteliers, interested individuals and restaurants.

The truth about this in sales is, you will not always have enough to sell until you hit the mega farming standard. When people start to get to know you and your business, the rest is on you to supply the needs to the demand of the market.

I hope this little piece help!

@ lexy91, you're right on both business need time to profit. After a year in Grasscutter, one can start making profit depending on what one does with the first production that is, if one is selling or re-investing the litters into the farm for expansion on production capacity.

hurlar2014:
Bro i I've in badagry and i want to learn the trade of grasscutter too pls what is the procedure and ur

Sent you an email sir

ginison:
@Goshen360 pl pm me ur phone number, I want to start Grasscutter Farming and I needs some Vital info before I start, I want to start on a Large scale. Anybody that is ready to assist with info I will appreciate

I replied you sir.

I'm a big time Grasscutter farmer while I was home. I started a small scale Grasscutter farm as a family business back in 2000. Today, we operate one of the Grasscutter mega farm in Badagry, Lagos State, Nigeria.

I know snail farming is lucrative but Grasscutter farming is more profitable than snail. I'm a living witness. I'll add more to the OP's information later.

Many Christians think if anything is written and\or found in the bible, it is a doctrine for the new testament believers. It's just a pity!

henry255:
That the new testament did not bring it to your notice does not mean Jesus abolished it.
Several places in the old testament laid claims to the credibility and necessity in the act of tithing.
Every practical Christian Order practiced in the old was not condemned in the new but rather, it was more or less restructured and or modernized to differentiate true christianity from religion. Eg burnt offering. Etc.

The time has come for us, the church, the body of Christ to decide what we want to follow - the old testament or the new. We are so confused mixing both. With Christ, we, the church is complete and don't need any addition from the old system. Hebrews 7 is an indepth teaching abolishing tithe in the new testament, get into it.

henry255:
Tithing is NEVER a fraud. If you don't pay tithes and offering, nothing will revitalize the ordained and move him forward.


Ofcos in life, no one survives witot money. The priests in the old were not expected to own businesses; it is the church that looks into their welfare. Now how does this money come, through offering and tithing.

Off course, monetary tithe is the greatest fraud in human history! Money existed since Genesis. God never demanded tithe paid from money. If you have any scripture when agric produce are substituted for money, please share it.

Money, in the new testament doesn't come from tithe & offerings because the Apostolic and early church of which Christ is the foundation never collected tithe neither did they receive offerings. So, where in scripture did you get the idea that money comes to the church from tithe & offerings?

^ ^ ^
Great Grace to you, thou man of God. Continue the good fight of faith....until the "Nigeria" kind of Christianity is liberated from pollution.

RobinHez:
Uhm...today is exactly 2 years since u made this post!

@Frosbel...are u still alive?

Smh...4 u

Frosbel is still alive and healthy. You can check topic and see the date of his recent thread or check his profile for most recent posts.

The sad thing in Christianity is, some people rain curse on others just because they speak against their mentors or spiritual fathers. Such is the case of ken4Christ.

John Hagee is always teaching rubbish and religious doctrine of men. So women should be screaming devil's name during sex? This man is full of some bullshiitt.....

As I make a statement like this in the title of the thread, the first thing that comes to the mind of common and\or traditional Christian is that, we want to endorse a "continuous" sinful lifestyle. Far from such! On the contrary, we teach the message of the finished works of Christ, which is the message of the Cross and of the new covenant.

I often hear many people say God God is punishing them for their sins while they go through problems in life. Some, from the pulpit also preach God still punishing believers in Christ for their sins etc. Such messages and opinions contradicts the finished works of Christ, which is part of the inheritance of believers under the new testament - God is not punishing you for your sins, you are only reaping what you sow! Now, let's see what scriptures have to say:

King James Bible
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Colossians 1:14

All the sins of believers, past, present and future are all forgiven in Christ, once and for all times. This is what is meant by the finished works of Christ. It was done once and what is done once applies to the past, present and to the future. In other words, if God punished our sins on Christ, of what use is God still punishing the same sin on us the second time? As an earthly father, I can't say I forgive my son and then turn around to punish him for the same sin I told him he's forgiven of. How much more our heavenly Father! Matthew 7:11 . This is the loving nature of God, our Father!

You Reap Whatever You Sow!

New Living Translation
Don't be misled--you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.
Galatians 6:7

Our actions are seeds sown into the soil of life. For instance, when a Christian commits abortion and in the process, the womb was damaged and she can't reproduce anymore. God is not the one punishing you for such sin because you're already forgiven but the seed you've sown has now germinated and you're reaping what you sow.

Similarly, a young Christian girl, you sleeping around with a married man. You forget you sowing to the flesh and when you reap corruption in the flesh, another woman sleeps with your husband and you say, God is the one punishing you for your sins? No, you're only reaping what you've sown to the flesh.

The same goes to a Christian who steals or commit any sin against the laws of the land, you will face the consequences of such theft. That's not God punishing you, you're reaping a reward for your mis-conduct. You will reap what you sow is a way by which God allows discipline for our mis-conduct acts and God allowing discipline is different from God punishing our sins on us - This is the Justice nature of God, our Father!

New Living Translation
As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father? If God doesn't discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all. Since we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldn't we submit even more to the discipline of the Father of our spirits, and live forever? For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God's discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening--it's painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.
Hebrews 12:7 - 13

Lastly, while you undergo discipline and the reaping for your mis-conduct, God is there with you to strengthen your faith, glorify himself and in the end, you ensure a right living. He said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Yooguyz:

musKeeto:

Yes, and everyone that is willing is invited. Just indicate your interest if you coming so I can make proper planing.

tpiadotcom:
what issues are you referring to?

You don't really need an excuse to hang out with people if that's your plan (why the date).

Just say you want to hang out and people should join you there.

And if its "issues" you want to discuss, then add it to your thread title, ie Come and discuss issues with Goshen.

what's the menu?

Auntie mi, e take e easy joor.

It's more or less like a get together or something. We'll discuss any issues arising in Christianity and our society and how we can be an agent of change individually.

There sure will be menu...i plans on good stuff for such gathering but, no just come because of menu o....come with your offering to lay at the Apostles feet....

anukulapo:
I go come if you go let me coordinate collection of tithes and offering

christemmbassey:
bros no drag this post with me nah! Ok, i go handle al the seeds , wetting of pastors throat, enemies die offerings and ur isaacs. Let there be peace.

If 2 of una dey fight for this kind post, wetin me wey be host wan dey do naw? Abeg, this kind post is for host, at least for "kind gesture offerin" and the second one will be like the first, "Apostle ' s feet offering"... ...Abi una go just come chop better food and una no go shake body?

Princewell2012:
If i gets you right, did you say the laws have been abolish even the ten commandment? thats must be ridiculous.
The first commandment; am the lord your God you must not worship other gods apart from me. And the number 5 of it says thou shall not kill followed by thou shall not comit adultery. so you are saying that all this laws are irrelevant? pls read ur bible again.

That's not what he or we're saying. Romans 7 included the 10 commandments of the law that was abolished. Does that say, we should commit adultery? Absolutely no. We're obeying the law of the Spirit, not the mosaic...if we walk IN THE SPIRIT, we shall not fulfill the last of the flesh.

italo:
So baptism is not for the remission of sin?

It is just for outward show?

Did Peter that said Acts 2:38 baptize (in water) BEFORE his sins were remitted\forgiven?

Hi friends & brethren,

There will be an opportunity for us to meet outside of this forum and discuss issues that bothers in our society and in the body of Christ. This has been in my mind for some time and I believe the opportunity has now come.

When: July 4th, 2015

Where: venue will be one of the resorts\relaxation centres in my hometown, Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria. I will update the exact venue and address when I conclude the arrangement.

Time: 12 noon - 6pm

Registration: Anyone interested will only need to signify or register their interest here so I can know how many people are participating, for adequate preparation. Please note, invitation is open until 30th of this month, July and closes at 12pm.

***@ moderator(s), please, kindly allow this thread here because most of my friends are from this section, plus I'm mostly active here***

Thank you and God bless.

OLAADEGBU:
Did Jesus abolish the Law or not?

Matthew 5:17 and Ephesians 2:14-15

No:

"Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the prophets; I did not come to destroy, but to fulfil" (Matthew 5:17).

Yes:

"For He is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the Law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace" (Ephesians 2:14-15).

How body naw? Long time.

Abeg no start this thing wey you no go fit finish o. We already know your stand as regards issue of Law vs Grace except you don change anyway.... . The only reason why Christians argue so much regarding keeping Law vs living under the Grace of God is we read into scriptures like Matthew 5:17 and interpret blindly after our traditions of men. Other than that, it is clear from scriptures that Christians are not given the Mosaic law in its entirety, including the 10 commandments.

italo:
No need for epistles.

Acts 2:38 clearly says baptism is for remission of sin. Do you agree with that? Yes or no?

Acts 2:38 did not say such, you're the one saying it to mean WATER....there's no such as water there (if that's what you meant anyway). You are baptized IN or INTO Christ is what it is. Romans 6:3 & Galatians 3:27 explains that verse. There're no stand-alone scriptures my brother. Baptism occurred in various forms in scriptures but not sprinkling.

Hi, my dear brother....@ OP,

The Spirit is One. God began to inspire me from His word recently on the same verse, Galatians 6:7-8 in a whole different dimension and it's so huge. I might do another teaching\thread on it as teaching though, hopefully before end of this week. Sure you're increasing in His Grace.

italo:
Again, I answered your question. You asked me to reconcile the verses and I did.

I asked a question:

What do you say about the verses? Acts 2:38 is an error? Is baptism not for remission of sin?

Oga, be careful how you read into scriptures.....read those passages of Acts again from different translations and follow punctuations sir. The question you should be answering by yourself is:

Can scripture says we receive remission\forgiveness of sin in the blood of Christ and at the same time through (water) baptism? More like saying, can one eat through the mouth and at the same time through the ear? If the scripture is saying, we're saved by (water) baptism, then what is the purpose of finished works of Christ and has Christ come and died in vain? If the scripture is saying, we're saved by Grace through faith (in the finished works of Christ), then (water) baptism plays no role in our salvation....which one of them?

christemmbassey:
A pastor of winners chapel airport branch here in Calabar was kianaped on Saturday. I keep wondering whether d pastor did not pay his tithe?

....no, the tithe is still in the ground. When it germinates, he'll be release.... .

I was young and I'm growing old, I've never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging for bread.....How you doing sir - the righteousness of God in Christ?

argob44:
smh

What you shaking your head at me for? . If your Pastor or you only understand the finished works of Christ & the new covenant, you'll never talk tithe to Christians. There's no such thing under the new covenant for Christian practices. If you find such in the new covenant, please show us and stop shaking your head

Emmasonic4me:
...and the overseer of one church like that will give his sheep aprons to wear claiming its bullet proof but he will wear his own and enter bulletproof car...

Pastors deceiving the gullible...smh

egopersonified:
My church just started asking those with their tithe to step out, this is a church I have being attending for over five years, though different branches. And I know the pastor is watching those like me that have never stepped out, I am just waiting for him to ask me one day, make me give am my own version of tithing.

....
