Christianity EtcRe: Can A Non-tither Make Heaven? by Hardtalk: 1:04pm On Aug 16, 2020
alBHAGDADI:
@OP

Tithing is not what gets you to heaven, BELIEVE in Jesus Christ is what guarantees you heaven.

But does that mean tithing is not compulsory? No. Tithing is the law of God which must be obeyed. It comes with a blessing for obeying and a curse for disobeying, same thing with other laws of God.

For example, God said we shouldn't steal. If you obey, which leaves you to within your means, God will bless the little you have such that you won't need to steal. If you don't obey, guess what? If you are caught stealing, you will be disgraced. What if you get sent to prison for 20 years for that?

Do you know how many people don't even know what Instagram, Facebook and Twitter is? They don't know what an Android phone is. Why? Because they have been in prison for more than 20 years and deprived of many things. So, if you don't steal, you don't suffer such.

What I find funny is how stubborn people feel tithing is no more the law of God because it's in the old testament. Okay, God also told us in the old testament that we shouldn't have sex with our mothers father, sister, aunty or close kin in general. The those stubborn people to go and do that since that law is in the old testament.

Dear OP, the way to make heaven is not by tithing. Tithing only helps you here on Earth but also in heaven where you get rewarded for obeying God's commandment. But it plays not part in getting you into heaven. How do you make heaven?

You make heaven by simply believing that Jesus Christ paid for your sins, including the one of not paying tithe. Once you do that, he gives you eternal life and you will never perish according to John 3:16. With that heaven is certain for you and nothing can make you lose it. You already have eternal life which can't be taken from you otherwise it will mean it was never an eternal life God gave you.

But can God punish you for disobedience like not paying your tithe. But will he throw you in hell because of that? No. Why? You are his child which you became the moment you believed in his Son Jesus Christ.

John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

As a parent, you can never burn you child with fire for disobedience. Why should you now think our Heavenly Father will do the same to his children.

Mathew 7:11 KJV
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Accept Jesus Christ today and you will never miss heaven.
This is the most reasonable contribution amongst the thrash spewed by some here. Most some people comment at all?
FamilyRe: My Wife Is Lying Helplessly In Hospital, Please Nairalanders Come To My Rescue by Hardtalk: 3:33am On Aug 16, 2020
realtalk19:
Why not transfer your wife to ikorodu general hospital for am emergency CSand deposit the100k with you first so as to save your baby and wife. St Raphael hospital will still charge you more after the CS ,how do you I tend to settle the debts after delivery?. It is well with you.i pray God favor you.
This is the very mistake many do. General hospitals have most qualified staff and their fees well subsidised. With N100k, your total case is settled there. St. Raphael have no mercy when it comes to issues of depositing before operation. Even at critical stage, they will watch the person die rather than offer palliatives. Many previous patients taught them bitter lessons.

Meanwhile, for many of you saying scam or sounding sarcastic, may you not find yourself in a situation that may make you do this. lf you want to help him, go ahead, if not keep your mouth shut.

Cantonese:
Added to your explanations are the following bible verses:

1 John 5: 7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

How else can we describe it?

Unfortunately in the Jehovah witness bible this bible verse was carefully circumvented to read "For there are three witness bearers,". The same has happened to some other bible verses that you will not find in the Jehovah witness bible.

I need our brother to please get the complete bible now, read through and explain it.
Oga, they stylishly removed the concluding part of that 1 John 5:7, from their own Bible. You will not see it there. Check the New World Translation and compare it with King James Version.

BREAKING: ASUU Tells FG Not To Reopen Schools Till End Of Pandemic.

By Wondrous Nnaemeka on June 18, 2020
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has advised the federal government to keep schools shut pending when the covid-19 pandemic was over.

ASUU tweeted about this on Thursday.

ASUU President, Abiodun Ogunyemi, advised “federal government not to reopen schools until the pandemic is over.

The Covid-19 Presidential Task Force had equally maintained that it was not safe to reopen schools.

The PTF had also urged schools to ensure safety measures against covid-19 were put in place before schools reopen.

ASUU and FG are still at loggerheads over alleged failure of government to meet the terms of earlier agreements.

This led the union to call an indefinite industrial strike action.

All these installed at the front of their mosques are products of technology made manifest through Western Education.

When most of your people comment on NL, you write as if your are lunatics or simply your brain just get switched off. How is it possibly for corrupt Nigeria politicians to sell out our own at the detriment of SA ?! How?

When TSTV is ready it know what to do. The other 9ja cable that was able to show Premiership matches was already winning customers until it failed to show that again n died a natural death.

I sure hope you are not expecting DSTV to reduce their bid so Nigeria Cable company can takeover their biz. So pls comment with brain next time.

Presidency may approve local herbs to battle COVID-19 — Health Minister
ON May 6, 2020 7:43 AM / IN
Coronavirus Updates / BY Nwafor
Ehanire.

Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, yesterday told the House of Representatives that President Muhammadu Buhari’s government was open to the possibility of using local herbs to fight COVID-19 pandemic, but insisted that the Nigeria Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development must first certify any such remedy.

Ehanire, who disclosed when the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 briefed members of the House of Representatives, also said it was wrong for hospitals to turn back patients as a result of fear of the virus.

He said the government was not ruling out the possibility of using local herbs for the treatment of the disease, adding that what the government was saying was that those who claimed to have found cure should subject it to test by the Nigeria Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development.

He said local herbs could be categorised into drugs that could cure the virus or those that could reduce the symptoms, and noted that the body must be able to build the required antibodies to neutralise the virus.
Ehanire said: “Before now, it was said that Chloroquine can destroy the virus but tests are still going on in that regard.

‘’We have to test the efficacy of local drugs to see if it can kill the virus and also to find out that if in the profess of killing the virus, it can affect the body. So, the Institute will carry out the required test on the local drugs.”

He warned that doing so may result in another round of national health emergency.
The Minister also said many people infested with the virus might not display any symptom and innocently be infesting others with it, noting this explained the need for self-isolation and staying at home.

He said those without symptom werecapable of transferring the virus to others with less immunity and that this was dangerous.

According to him, the solution is to keep everybody in isolation.
While describing the situation in Kano as sad, the minister said the Federal Government was currently participating in various research to find a solution to the pandemic.

He, however, dismissed claims that the mysterious deaths in Kano was caused by COVID-19, adding that the PTF was still waiting for the result of tests carried out in the state and was, therefore, not in a position to attribute the cause of death in the state to the pandemic.

He said the statement attributed to the PTF team leader in Kano was completely false, adding that the PTF would be able to make a comprehensive statement on the Kano situation once the test results were out.

He also dismissed fears that relaxing the lockdown might lead to increase cases of the pandemic as experienced in other country, stressing that the only way to have reduced figure of COVID-19 was for people to strictly observe all measures put in place.

He said the PTF was in talks with the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria and some state governments on the possibility of producing protective gear locally, adding that as a result of global demand, protective equipment were currently scarce in the global market.

The Minister lamented that some Nigerians were running away from isolation centres, while others have refused to report themselves for isolation.
