This Your question remains of an inscription on a particular dangerous road in Nassarawa state. "many have gone you are the next" I was on my way to Jos. The kind of shock this inscription couple with the nature of the road sent down my spine, only God knows. Until we pass that place, I wasn't the one seating in the vehicle 1 Like 1 Share |

hisgrace090:Are you really the one saying this? But you said earlier that your church uses it for evangelism. What have I disobeyed? I am only in search of knowledge. Please, if you must quote me again, please refer to what I said earlier and read it with understanding so that you will clearly know my position about tithe. Thanks. |

hisgrace090:After you have truly read and understood the content of the quoted portion, you can refer back to my earlier post and juxtapose it with what you say your church does with the tithe and see whether what you guys are doing is right. |

Righteousness89:If it truly happens like that in your church then it is a very good initiative. Good Initiative in the sense that all the the things you have mentioned are not prescribed by the Bible on how to use the tithe. You can do better by convincing me with a verse. But I like the way tithe is used in your church. |

Righteousness89:I just hope you really understood what I wrote. If you did then I don't think you have responded well. Please note, I am not arguing, I am seeking to know. If a pastor will not touch the tithe and there is a welfare office that takes care of needy in most churches which the resources provided are not from the tithe but wilful contribution from members or some agreed amount by members, then what is the tithe mean for? |
Religion / Re: The Matter Of Tithing: My Personal Encounter With The Bible by gr8tone: 1:02pm On Dec 23, 2018 |
[b] In as much as I agree with the angle in which you look at tithe I still want to get some clarifications, if you can offer that, I will be glad. Those to whom the tithe is mean for are those you have mentioned excluding the Pastors because the Bible only recognises Levites which the Pastors stand to represent today. In those days, the Levites had no sources of livelihood because they were dedicated to the service of God at temple of and were not paid. Nowadays, the pastors are paid for their services in the church, in some cases, even the school fees of their children are catered for by the church. Most churches nowadays have what is called welfare department for the needy and the sources of resources to take care of the neeedy doesn't comes from the tithe but the members of the church, either through wilful donation or agreed amount. Does it still make sense to pay tithe in our today's churches, taking cognisance of the raised points.? May God deliver me from my own knowledge of Him. I always get joy in contributing for missionaries than paying of tithe.[/b] 1 Like |
Religion / Re: Dreams: What Are The Implications Of Not Dreaming Or Remembering Your Dreams? by gr8tone: 12:29pm On Dec 23, 2018 |
Some people may speak carelessly about this topic just because they have never been hit by the realities of dreams. It was in the dream that Joseph foresaw his future, you remember the Butler and Baker who were imprisoned together? This and many more are examples of dreams that came to fulfilment. In as much as people are right for saying that dreams are fantasies,dreams can also be a revelation of things to come or already happened. We may not be able to remember our dreams but it will do us a lot of good to pray very well when we get entangled in such a situation. Most at times until the dream manifest before one will remember that o yes I dreamt about this. Each time I had a strange dream, that day , I am always conscious of my movements and prayerful 1 Like |

alBHAGDADI:You got it all wrong. When people seek to understand, you should be diplomatic in helping them get over their ignorance rather than bullying them words thinking you replicating Jesus Christ. In 1 Peter 3:15-16 New International Version (NIV) 15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. I don't know whether you are holier than this speaker here. Whether you like it or not there are a lot of Christians who still bear grudges over paying of tithe in our churches today and you can't educate them by bullying thinking they are attacking your source of income. Jesus Christ's harshness was very educative than yours because his harshness was able to reveal the truth so clearly that no one had an excuse. So Mr pastor, don't flog your sheep with words. Let's be kind to the unlearned to carry them along. 1 Like |

alBHAGDADI:You are harsh with your words. Your over zealousness is getting you out of track. If you are born and brought up in a single church then i don't think you possess the knowledge of things going on in other churches. Besides, you understood me wrongly. I am a Christian, I am not condamning but I am only seeking to know. I just discovered that you are not friendly with words. Let's keep here please. |
