macof: foolish mumu...dual citizenship let me see u go to israel without a visa

You don't have to elucidate on your frustrations on a social forum.

Hebrews 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

macof: I only commented on ur post, U expect me as an Omo Oodua to reject my fathers and become a son of Abraham lol. so u have sold ur birth right

Birth right? i'm of dual-citizenship, You too can be.

macof: who cares about Abraham? All hail Oduduwa

Duh, the thread is about great verses from the Bible. Are you one of those misguided youths?

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Apart from all the rowdiness following this thread, it suffices to state that the OP's exposition so called has been an embarassment to any good Bible student. Even the truth does not deserve such rigidity of thought.

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Boomark: Are you not a hypocrite?

Jesus told the man to sell all he had and give to the poor the same way he acknowledged that the pharisees pay their tithe. Now you are looking for the 1st Christian that will sell all he has and give to the poor, but you will be quick to force Christians to pay tithe because Jesus said it. As if it was not Jesus who said the former.

Thanks Enigma for exposing him.

Proverbs 26:17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

RationalDude: The old testament of the bible is just something else. @Image123, are Christians ashamed of the verses that you have been posting?

The initial thread title was "Great verses from the Bible". i'm not ashamed of any Bible verse. Life is all context.

swtchicgurl:

He spends so much time reading geneologies and theologies! That's what the Bible describes as "enticing word's of man's wisdom"!

"And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power!" 1 Cor. 2:4

methinks he needs some humility.

InesQor: @Image123
Lol I see you and Enigma have been seriously duking it out on the Tithes thread. You guys get mind.

na here mind dey oh. Well done.

Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Wait for Gosh to come with the greek meaning of scorpions. Oh, don't wait.

i see InesQor and co have done a nice job here. i see logicb is still trying to convince himself that there is no God. Make i go relax jore.

Enigma: Now I expect that if someone reading the thread is told that tithing is obligatory because of 'bring all the tithe' s/he will also have the presence of mind to think or even ask why giving all to the poor is not also obligatory because of 'go sell all and give it to the poor'.

i present the Bring ye ALL the tithe with the perspective that ALL the tithe is presentable, and folks gave tithe of non agric produce without restrain or rejection. i'm not presenting it from the perspective of forcing anyone to give.

Candour: you're right.

so do well to apply the grace of God and come to the truth that stipulating 10% is not of grace but of the law

Grace helps us to obey God.

2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Candour: Sharp guy......look at the words of Jesus and chose the one you feel you can live with and run with it while dumping the rest.

Only that you still fall short of your tithe practice.......3 types of tithe.....to be true to your profession and the law setting it up.....do all three

All have sinned and come short of God's glory. What we need is grace, not logic meant at puncturing holes into scriptures.

Enigma: So now I am going to accuse you of lying especially since you impliedly called me a Pharisee.

You are lying in TWO respects.

1. I have never said that Jesus commanded a Christian to sell all he has - so accusing me of being a Pharisee about that is false. {of course the simple argument has always been clear: if we are to follow 'bring ALL the tithe' THEN why are we not to follow 'go sell ALL you have'?}

2. You lie when you say you practise what you preach unless (a) you can claim that you have sold ALL and given it to the poor or at least (b) why we are to follow 'bring ALL the tithe' but not 'Go and sell ALL and give it to the poor'.



PS It is a pity you too seem to want to turn this into fight --- but again it's all good.

No fight at all on Enigma.
You just told me to go and sell all my possessions. If no, then sorry i misunderstood you.
i'm aware that Alwaystrue and co have replied you on that passage. Confirm that ou require extra explanation on the passage?

christemmbassey: TITHE IS THE BIGEST FRAUD IN THE WORLD, pls follow this thread with opened mind, knowing that those who av benefited fron this centuries old fraud will lie in wait. U know, tithe is sm ppl oil well. U can fool some ppl some time, but, u can't fool all the ppl all the time. Christ said in jn8:32 "and ye shall know the truth, and the truth, shall make you free", the truth about tithe is, as a pastor, i av found out that, "there is no SINGLE VERSE IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE, where christians are commanded, adviced, or beged, to pay 10% of their salaries/wages to God, Jesus, pastor or church organisation. Welcome to truth.

Have you not read the words of the Lord in Luke 11v42?

Mark Miwerds: all the tithe under the Law was crops and livestock. Nothing else.

The storehouse was in Jerusalem. There is no indication in the pages of God's Holy Word that the storehouse was moved to
another location

Remember that you are yet to ive proof fr this assertion.

Enigma: Go sell ALL you have and give it to the poor.

Have you? i love to practice what i preach, instead of being like the pharisees who say and do not.

Matthew 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?


We choose not to be ignorant of the devices of the devil. i'm certain there would have been logical reasonings and fleshly explanations for Job's problems.

Psalms 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Mark Miwerds: The tithe there is not the same tithe men demand today.

Bring ye ALL the tithe.

Enigma: ^^^

And the passage in fuller detail:

"8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation."


So who is cursed with a curse? Which nation - Nigeria? Christendom?

Edit: Oh and of course which nation was doing the robbing?

Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

macof: favourite verse of shallow minded fools

Thank God for the Bible. Embrace it and become civilized.

Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
