i see, you and op really have little knowledge abt your religion.

Good of us, mind your business. Can you?

JUDASiskariot:
If he loves to, why at a point in time in the Bible regretted creating? Besides, as a supposed self sufficient god, what's to love in creating a lesser being and for what purpose?

And why does a god nees to impress himself and his creation?

Because He wants to, it's called freedom of expression. I put my computer anywhere I want to in my house, i don't owe you a reason. Get it? I'd be shocked, the devil is not that nice on his puns.

Who told you the Bible contains God's words?

Read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and tell me if those are the words of omniscient and omnipotent God. You could as well been born a Muslim, Buddhist, Scientologist; you will claim their books hold the knowledge. You are only suffering from chronic brainwashing which regrettably started from childhood.

Nobody was born a believer. The term "born AGAIN" should ring a bell.

JUDASiskariot:
Why does he need to show forth his praise? And to whom?

Because He loves to. To Him and all creation.

finalboss:
which word ? So you think bible is frm god ? Is the bible the word of god ?

The Bible is the Word of the God referred to by the OP. Stay focused.

Check out how everyone is trying hard to analyze God's mind.

Why not just say "I don't know"?

Christians and silly speculations. I don't know. You don't know. Nobody knows. Don't start with Bible quotes--that's Christianity stories told to you, for you and by you. Abi you don see person wey talk say im mama soup no dey sweet?

The Bible said...the Bible said...is not a valid argument. Argue from a common ground for all religions, atheists and agnostics.

You want to discuss God without His Word, duh. Indeed it is a high level of foolishness it takes to say there's no God.

JUDASiskariot:
If God had not created me, I would not have any problem with him, but why did he create me? Did j ask him to?

Toh, the creature is asking why the Creator created him. He created you to show forth His praise.

Nobody wants to die, but they want to go to heaven. How? Death is the last enemy to be conquered.

A muslim turned Christian. If it was those Oluwathis and that Chukwuwhat and Co, David and Hope from birth, most of them will compromise and give excuses and reasons. No fear of God at all.

He says Lagos is 5th largest economy with nothing to show for it. But they were happy bandying figures of Nigeria being largest economy with nothing to show for it.

Hmmmmm, these companies, who is working there and what kind of work?

Tell them about Jesus, toys cannot save criminals.

Athests are firever asking questions about God. When are you going to really conclude the folly that there is no God? No inner satisfactions yet?

Compliant:
Is like you are not getting it

BUHARI WILL PUNISH YOU PEOPLE BY GIVING IT TO SOMEONE OUTSIDE YOUR REGION

THERE IS NOTHING TO BALANCE AGAIN

GOTO COURT

That will be Saraki's fault and the South's fault for not voting in credible APC senators.

stephleena:
I heart Akpabio, so much..that man stayed with Jonathan, through thick and thin..
Akpabio brought the shame upon himself,his pride got him to this level .Quite unfortunate,as it stands right now he has,no electoral value.. he couldn't deliver as it was, expected of him,he couldn't deliver himself..

He should use his 'remaining' influence to get a good spot at ikot -ekpene market for dog business.. maybe he might have "market' value.. since he gladly threw away the love, he got from his people.

Are you kidding me? Akpabio took akwaibom away from bayelsa's league. He opened their eyes to see the possibility that oil money can be used by the state governor to develop the state. I'm very sure you don't know akwaibom before Akpabio.

chemgee:
not happening, this time around, it will be a very loyal party man, who may have not displayed trait of rebellion... that's a rubber stamp legislature

i really hope not, because to me Rochas no be am.

stinggy:
We Southerners have washed our hands clean off this. Whatever happens in the next 4 years is totally the fault of the northerners, we can not love you more than yourself.
Just brace up, it's 2.0 of everything you've witnessed so far.

Na lie, stop wishing for evil. Honest people knew herdsmen wahala didn't start today. But some politicians played it to maximum volume to deceive the gullible and for their selfish agenda. Like they say, lies travel for several kilometres while Truth is still lacing its boots. But truth will prevail. i just hope those pastors repent and face their ministries.

blackgold2018:
His people r too foolish to deny themselves a Senate President. I'm sure there will feel sorry for voting him out

Over foolish is an understatement. AkwaIbomites are ingrates to Akpabio.

Donmedra:
This is what we happen this 4 years.

Executive, legislature and judiciary will be headed by northern Muslims.

You think buhari was practising nepotism this last four years? Wait for this 4 years as his last president.

And by the way, buhari wil never ever consider Igbo presidency, they just got played.

APC governor will be elected in abia, IMO, Anambra, ebonyi.

Duh, is this the next line/level of wailing? Agitation for Igbo presidency. APC folks have been shouting Osinbajo 2023, where were you or is Osinbajo Igbo in your dreams? Legislature will be headed by Rochas or Kalu unfortunately for Nigeria. You may align with them instead of wailing and islamophobia.

Rochas Senate President, smh.

I would only expect someone like a pastor to return an answer like yours, so the Word is ramble jumble-If Gentiles were to tithe, the bible would have said so: if Christians were to tithe-the bible would have told us that as well!
But sadly it doesn't tell us to tithe-and if we were to tithe the old way-we shouldn't break the rules like the tithers do today!
And if tithing was so much in line with scripture-today-then at least Jesus should had been a good example to collect tithes-and tithed-and if we were to become like Jesus-then why does man expect the Church to tithe from wages to a non taxable profit, that has no interest..
Is this clear for you to understand?

No, you're rambling again. We've been through this many times. You failed to produce your assumed rule. Again, if it's tithe, what's the fuss about?

brocab:
Now you are here let us hear you verdict, tell us, who told you that the Gentile Christians should tithe, and if you haven't any evidence to prove tithing is for the Church today-then why preach it as it has power to your word?

So you can actually type two clear lines instead of the usual confused ramble? Who told you that gentiles should not tithe? Is there a punishment or commandment that forbid them?

brocab:
Now I am glad this had got your attention-then maybe if you could explain yourself-who told you that the Gentile Christians should tithe, and if you haven't any evidence to prove tithing is for the Church today-then why preach it as it has power to your word?
We have all been down this merry-go-round, but it takes just a few little steps to know the truth about tithing>Jesus said: first seek the kingdom of God and all things shall be added to you!
So the Church seeks after health and wealth-they teach martial merchandise and having your best life now is God's blessings to you! Tithers are taught, blessed is he who tithe, then those who don't tithe, Jesus said: first seek the kingdom of God and all things shall be added to you-but what does this mean, seeking after Him is not tithing, seeking after Him means 'study the scriptures, it means show the Lord you are interested to learn His will, and In His name ask and it shall be given..
But what do you say:
Is it so much a lie when I defend the bible-when the scriptures tells me, the command to tithe was given only to the Jewish people, "Not the Gentiles!
The tithe was intended to provide for the upkeep of the Temple in Jerusalem and to support the Priesthood who owned no land and did not work to support themselves. these day's there is no longer any need to support a priesthood made up of people who do not own land or work for a living.
If we were to search the scriptures, and clearly read them, we would find-the tithes were paid directly to the Levites-not priest-the levites were the cleaners, they were the car-park attendants, they set up the seats, they stood at the door, they set up the stage, they played the music, they sang the songs, 23% yearly they received tithes, and gave the high Priest Aaron that year only 10%-the rest of the tithes were disputed between they families, the poor the stranger, the widows etc etc etc.But no tithes built mega homes, mega temples, like it is today!!

Exactly, merry go round, you seem to love it.

brocab:
I remember the day's when I was first told about tithing-God didn't tell me to tithe, it was the Church that told me I had to tithe. At the time, as a young Christian I never understood tithing, it never made sense, why a God would freely call us into His kingdom for the money?
I played the game-but my heart was never there, the problem was, I was seeking after the truth, I read the scriptures over and over and still, the tithing I had read, wasn't the tithing the Church claims today!
The tithing system had caused so much trouble within the body of Christ-reading {1 Timothy 6:3-5} the Lord tells us to withdraw ourselves from men of corrupt minds, who are destitute of the truth who suppose that godliness is the means to their financial gain..
Look at Kenneth Copeland, if the Church could afford to pay out the money this man earns in one day-Africa would be free from starving, the world wouldn't have to live in poverty, everybody would live like those in a non poverty state..
If these men and women were from God-then why doesn't the Church prosper as good as these who live in mega mansions, build mega Churches, and drive and fly mega machines? And why doesn't this line up with the Word of God?

Lying for Jesus will get you into hell fire oh.

naijapips04:
so true bro. The poverty he brought is more than all PDP did in 16 years.

What poverty do you folks keep whining about? Everyone knew that troublous times were here before Buhari became president. The then finance minister was already having headache and borrowing to pay salaries. The inflation was imminent. In GEJ's era, there was so much stealing to the extent that one of Aso Rock's drivers would bring bundles of money home. Inside it, the wife stole over 12million naira without the driver aware. She used the money to build house. Buhari came in and stopped all that. Then they're shouting there's poverty in the land and you're joining them. What a shame.

In all fairness, no one should compare and CONCLUDE the end of a over 5years recovery to a 7month work in progress.

Great. We're not where we should be but no going back to reckless looting by smooth operators.

MrPresident1:
In that story of the good Samaritan, how does the injured man qualify as brethren?

Are we talking about the good Samaritan?

ProjectNaija:
Read in proper context from verse 31, Jesus made it crystal clear that his brethen he is referring to are the poor and less privilege.

Mat 25:31  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 
Mat 25:32  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 
Mat 25:33  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 
Mat 25:34  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 
Mat 25:35  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 
Mat 25:36  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 
Mat 25:37  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 
Mat 25:38  When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 
Mat 25:39  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 
Mat 25:40  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 
Mat 25:41  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 
Mat 25:42  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 
Mat 25:43  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 
Mat 25:44  Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 
Mat 25:45  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

ProjectNaija:
Jesus said giving to the poor is the same as giving to him or God. Don't get it twisted. If you want to give to God, give to the poor. You don't need to start twisting scriptures to suit your agenda.

You're the one twisting it. It is very clear and straight to the point, "my brethren"

Matthew25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
