 Christianity Etc › Re: Would It Still Be Tithe If I Pay It To Someone In Need Rather Than The Church? by Hakeem12(m): 3:39pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
nkemjacob2:The first tithe was to be spent on travel and worship expenses for attending the annual feasts in Jerusalem (Deut. 14:22-26). The second tithe made provision for the Levites who ministered in the Temple (Deut. 14:27, Num. 18:21). The third tithe was collected every three years and distributed to the poor and needy (Deut. 14:28-29, 26:12). THIS was the tithing law that Jesus accused the Scribes and Pharisees of neglecting. 1 Like 1 Share |

The real question here is: “does the New Covenant require tithing, or do many Christians require it?” The New Testament teaches Cheerful Giving, but, unfortunately, many Christians still insist on tithing. The problem with Christian Biblical interpretation is that one needs to take the Biblical passages in their textual and historical context. Much of the support for tithing comes from the Old Testament and the Old Mosaic Covenant, and the New Testament and the New Covenant. Malachi 3:8, is in the Old Covenant and applies to Mosaic Covenant Israel, not the New Covenant Church. In fact, there are only two or three references in the New Testament to tithing, and those passages refer to Christ rebuking the Jewish leaders for faithful tithing, while ignoring the most important things. Many Christians take tithing out of context in other ways. Tithing was of agricultural produce and livestock. It was not of money. Tithing was to support the tribe of Levi, which could not have land of its own. Tithing was part of the Jewish tax system to support them and Temple worship. Tithing was also supposed to help the poor, not oppress them. In the New Covenant, there is no tithing of the land. There is no Levitical priesthood. All Christians are priests. Neither the mode or need for tithing are relevant any more. Post script: That's if you believe in the bible by the way, or any holy book. They didn't arrive by fax from heaven. They were written by charlatans who wanted to divide and rule us so it's easier to control us. Peace. 35 Likes 8 Shares |

we don't need prayers in Nigeria and Africa as a whole, it seems God himself has left this continent, if he exists though. Why has Africa remained poor despite the natural resources it’s endowed with? Poor management. “Africa is not poor, it is poorly managed”. President Sirleaf - Liberian president. Africa has a lot of resources but poor decision making by her leaders make her poor. Civil wars. Civil wars destroys already existing infrastructure. Example are oil producing countries Nigeria and South Sudan. Unskilled labour. Skilled labour is necessary for any growing economy. Unlike other continents, African population is mostly made of unskilled labour caused by expensive access to education. Health and poverty. Most Africans can't access quality medical care due to poverty. Diseases like HIV and Ebola wiped out the working labour sometimes back. Unfair trade policy by developed nations. Corruption. Africa is not poor, money is concentrated on the top class. The poor can't access it widening the gap between the rich and the poor. Now we should talk about how to tackle these problems head on, and be honest with ourselves rather than hiding under the guise of religion, saying God will come to our aid, cos we all know one thing for sure, he ain't gonna resolve these issues for us. 6 Likes |

| Christianity Etc › Re: Noah's Ark Rebuilt & Opened For Public In Atlanta US With Its Exact Measurements by Hakeem12(m): 11:47am On Oct 27, 2018 |
No evidence goes to show that this biblical boat ever existed. In the Bible, God spells out to Noah the dimensions of the vessel: 300 cubits in length, 50 cubits in width and 30 cubits in height. In units that are familiar to people nowadays, that’s 450 feet in length, 75 feet in width, and 45 feet in height. In comparison, the RMS Titanic was 883 feet long and housed 2208 people. Noah’s Ark supposedly held two of every single species of insect, mammal, reptile, bird, and land-based invertebrate. Two of each species. Estimates of how many species of non-marine species range anywhere from 5 million to 130 million. Given the most conservative estimate, that’s still 10 million creatures on board. The matter of how they were fed for the tenure of the flood is yet another issue. Everything in common sense leads you to understand that Noah’s Ark could never have existed. How did these species scatter throughout the Earth after the flood in the last 5,000 years without leaving any evidence of their migration? Why is there no fossil record of this mass migration? How is it that no massive global flood-like event is able to be found anywhere in any geological records in any place on the Earth? How can a global flood occur given the amount of ice concentrated at the polar caps and the ice caps geological history? The reason so many people believe in this flood myth is just because many people groups in the Levant and the general area of the Middle East (as we know it to be called today) including the Hebrews, assimilated the flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh due to the cultural hearth that was embodied in the Neo-Assyrian period. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

The usual definition of a miracle is an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws. By that definition, no miracle has ever been proven to have happened, so we can say that miracles are not real. The miracles attributed to Jesus in the New Testament were written down more than forty years after Jesus is said to have lived and were, at best, based on hearsay or, at worst were literary creations designed to foster belief in the newly emerging faith. Acts of the Apostles is now believed to have been written early in the second century, when the events it portrayed were already a whole lifetime in the past. Whereas Actscould portray Peter and Paul as having long ago performed miracles, this was a luxury Paul could not indulge in when writing his epistles because those to whom he wrote his epistles actually knew him and could challenge any claim to having performed a great miracle. So it was throughout the early centuries of Christianity. Miracles were always reported as taking place in a more distant place or time, such that readers of the accounts were unlikely to be able to challenge the truth of the miracles. When Catholicism began to become more involved with the veneration of the Virgin Mary, there was a lot of interest in whether she would appear and provide messages of support. She soon began to appear, but her appearances were generally to poor children in remote communities. Children who reported seeing a strange woman in the neighbourhood were encouraged to elaborate on their stories until they became clearer visions of the virgin Mary, but disinterested adults were never able to confirm the sightings. The important Mexican Guadalupe tradition is of a poor Indian named Juan Diego who saw a vision of the Virgin Mary on 9th December 1531, barely ten years after the Spanish Conquest, asking him to have a chapel built in Tepeyac in her honour. 9th December is the day after the feast of the Immaculate Conception. This tradition is unknown until we find it written down a hundred years later by Father Miguel Sanchez. Random events, such as remission of disease or survival of natural disasters are sometimes spoken of as miracles, but these can be excluded because atheists and people of every possible faith are equally likely to survive. Perhaps we could redefine a miracle as the record of an amazing event that supposedly took place long ago or in some distant place, such that it is no longer possible to refute the evidence. 3 Likes |

CAPSLOCKED:The church, especially the catholic church, had a violent and deceitful history concerning women. The catholic inquisition published a book that arguably can be called the most blood soaked publication in history, malleus malleficarum, they call it. [It indoctrinated the world to the dangers of free thinking women, and instructed the clergy to locate, torture and destroy them. These deemed " witches" by the church include; scholars, female priestesses, Gypsies, herb gatheres, nature lovers, mathematicians and others. Midwives were killed gruesomely by the church for using practical medical knowledge to ease the pain of childbirth, - a suffering the church believed was God's punishment for Eve partaking in the Apple of Eden, this giving birth to the original sin. During three hundred years of witch hunt my brother, the church burned five million women. Five million. The propaganda and bloodshed actually worked. Women once celebrated as an essential half of spiritual enlightenment, had been banished from the temples of the world. There were no female orthodox rabbis, no female catholic priests, nor Islamic clerics. The natural sexual union between man and woman by which both became whole had been cast as shameful. In fact all feminists should be atheists if they read stuff bout religion and know what evil it had done to women in the past and still doing though now much more restrained. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Well I think this question can never be answered really. There is a field of science called noetic science. And experiments have been carried out in this field to observe how thoughts can affect matter. This field postulates that thoughts can be weighed, hence has mass. A certain man was about to die, and he offered up his body for research in this field. He was placed in sealed capsule, in which even a normal can't last longer than six minutes. This capsule makes use of high precision microbalance down to a few micrograms. The man was placed in this capsule while he drew his last breathe. Before his death, his weight was taken, however, just a few moments after his death, his weight decreased considerably on the readings of the microbalance. The conclusion was that a soul escaped his body. |
