Raiders: I wonder where he is going to create a new state in the SE from? Anyway, It seems like GEJ don't have anything new to offer. What the Igbos need is jobs, Electricity, good roads. The major roads in the east is in horrible state. Nigerians are dying every day in The PH- Enugu road and Onitsha- Enugu road because of the poor state of the roads. You could not even complete the 2nd Niger bridge that you promise to build and complete. The Enugu airport is not yet an international airport like you promised in 2010.
Thousands of graduates from the east cant get good job because the unemployment rate is high. You have done nothing for the Igbos in the last 5 yrs and you want us to vote you again. Now you want us to vote for you again so you can create an imaginary new igbo state from air.
You don't know what we need. We need additional state to create more Jobs, get more allocations, build more roads etc. Stop thinking from the back. First thing first.
ochejoseph: To say President Goodluck Jonathan has an excellent gender credential is to state what is already known, From the admission of Female cadets into the NDA to large scale initiatives to empower women directly.
It will be nice to hear from APC members what their candidate (General Muhammadu Buhari) intends to do for the women folk!
God Bless Nigeria
Better for women to remain in the kitchen and cook us Good means.
If the boys in the creek touch two pipelines with bomb. Nigerian economy will nose dive. People shouting naira has fallen will see naira be like Zimbabwe dollar.
size40: Asari should shut his mouth. He is not the only one from Niger delta. Am a Niger Delta son too. where are our own share from the national treasury that comes to us? They are being used to settle the likes of Asari, Tompolo etc. Asari owns different investment but all are outside Nigeria why? Make Asari park well joor! make we see road.
Till you live for your people no one knows you. Asari is a legend in his right. Nigerian history will not be complete without him. But for you, Nairaland is your theatre. Enjoy it
butanep: This election is coming at the right time. we are fed up with the ugly incident happening in this country. As for me, as tired of the present administration. Things are not just working in this country the way they ought to... Everything is getting worse.
Imagine that the local government I am currently residing in kwara state including neighboring local govt and states have no light for over one week now. We heard it was shortage of gas supply from Osun state transmition plant. I just nodded my head and laugh... A country rich in gas can't power it's gas plant. There is really a big problem.
This is a country where so much have been invested in power sector and nothing is happening. Power supply keep on getting worst each passing day. The price of fuel to power our generators is on the high side, small & medium business that rely fully on power can't operate hence some are put out of business.
We have suffered for a long time. We gave them the time to prove themselves but they failed. There is no going back.
With our PVCS, let's vote for change...
You were in total darkness for two weeks only. Ok! Many lost their lives at ore road wishing till gej came. I vote for Gej
Many lost their lives as a result of plane falling like snow till gej came. We for for Gem
In the mist of the most deadly flood ever to hit Nigeria, food item did not go up in price during Xmas first of its kind in the history of Nigeria.
hillsate: Seriously, with all the commissioning of power stations nation wide by GEJ, how come power is not improving.
Power generation is not an easy task. Its a phase by phase job. power station building phase is almost completed. We are soon to enter gas supply phase and power generated distribution phase.
ochejoseph: Buhari is a Brilliant Economist and a Presidential Material whose intellectual capacity and sagacity is first class!
Forget the all those shouting about his inability to remember the name of his party, his running mate and INEC, the man has promised to deliver!
He has Promised to Make the Naira equivalent to the dollar !
He has also promised to stabilise the global crude price !
He intends to float a social security system whose value is 3 times the annual budget of the country
Considering the Fact that Buharinomics prefers the payment of 450 Million USD to France as fines for the termination of the Lagos metro instead of paying 50 million USD to complete same shows the capacity of the economic model.
Me must not also forget that Buharinomics has also ensured that Buhari’s 150 Cows remain intact at 150 after 12 successful years of breeding no addition no subtraction they just eat food and stare at each other!
APC which is marketing Buharinomics has assured all Nigerians that their economic woes will be over immediately Tinubu receives the keys to the cash Vaults at CBN !!!!
Can a blind man lead a country of 170 million people?
Saturdays election is a clear choice between moving Forward and moving backward!
"If you don't know history, then you don't know anything. You are a leaf that doesn't know it is part of a tree" - Michael Crichton
It was supposed to be just a Presidential Media Chat and nothing more. But immediately after the cameras stopped rolling and the recording lights were turned off, Mr. President stood up and shook hands with Adesuwa Onyenekwe, Deji Badmus, Ibrahim Sheme and me. He thanked us for finding time to come talk with him. “Please join me for dinner in my official residence,” he said as he walked down the stage. As he stepped away, Vice President Namadi Sambo appeared, shook his hand and congratulated him. “Mr. President, that was a great outing,” the vice president said. Walking right down towards the door, a retinue of aides and guests waylaid him. Some shook his hand and others cheered him for standing up to our “incisive questions. Others just smiled approvingly and wished they had something to say. While the President led the way to his residence along a long covered walkway, I began to imagine how it feels to lead one of the most populous and highly diverse countries on earth. I imagined how many hours of sleep any Nigerian president could have in a day and the number of people they meet on a single day. I shuddered. Once we got to Mr. President’s official quarters, we were ushered into a well-lighted lounge with modest furnishing. There was nothing extraordinary about that room if you ask me. It was clean and fitted with handcrafted furniture which were well arranged to give ample leg space. As we walked in, we met a few guests who were already waiting. Mr. Jonathan took his seat and we were ushered into some of the empty couches as he engaged his guests. In less than five minutes, he was done and again led the way to the dining room. It was a rectangular room with a long dining table surrounded with about 20 chairs. The table cover was a flowery satin material. The plates and cutleries on the table were just the normal things used in any average family. Two drinking glasses were set for each guest, a white table napkin and a set of cutleries including a desert spoon and dinner spoon, a desert knife and dinner knife. At the centre of the table were toothpick cases and beautifully carved cases filled with serviettes. Apart from these, one bread roll and a butter portion was kept for each of the guest. The President sat at the head of the table while Mr. Sambo sat on the first seat to his right. On the first seat to the left sat Adesuwa followed by Ibrahim, Deji and I. The Director General of the National Orientation Agency, Mike Omeri, sat to my left while the Minister of Power, Chinedu Nebo, sat opposite me. The Chairman of the Silverbird Group, Ben Bruce; the Director-General of the Nigeria Television Authority, Sola Omole; the Director General of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Ladan Salihu; the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati, and a few others were also seated for the meal. As we sat down, two waiters appeared with two big bottles of Eva water on their hands. Mr. President’s glass was half filled first. “Do you care for room temperature or cold water, Sir,” the waiters inquired as they move round. I went for room temperature. I was determined to eat anything served Mr. Jonathan. As water was being served, I observed that the waiters did not fill any of the glasses including that of Mr. President. I have been wondering why. For the appetizer, the waiters brought croaker fish pepper soup. Mr. Jonathan got a portion of the fish and two servings of pepper soup. Many on the table took more than two servings of the fish and pepper soup. I refused to exceed the ration of my host. I watched the President munch his bread slowly and calculatedly before taking a scoop from the pepper soup dish. While on the appetizer, the conversation was neither here nor there. I had hoped to see a long table filled with the choicest foods and some of the best collection of wines. But there was nothing of the sort. There was not even a single bottle of wine in sight. Is this how they eat there? I wondered. Done with the appetizer, the two smart waiters withdrew the used plates and immediately started serving the main dish. Again, they came with “ogbono” soup cooked with goat meat and dried fish. Instead of serving the usual “eba, the waiters came up with a yellow-coloured paste. “This is a local meal eaten in some parts of Rivers and Bayelsa states,” said Mr. President. “It is made with riped plantain and yam.” I don’t remember what Mr. President called it but it sounded like “Onunu”. Mr. President was served the yellow-coloured paste but I decided not to eat it. Long ago, my parents had taught me never to try a new meal outside of home. I know people who ate strange foods at buffets and ended up in hospital. I have also encountered folks who ate what they never understood and their stomachs broke into rumbling rumba gyration. I wasn’t prepared for any surprises and so I went for white rice and stew. I don’t know what Adesuwa and Ibrahim ate but Deji was served white rice and goat meat stew just like I. The stew tasted like it was made from bleached palm oil. I was watching closely as the waiters served Mr. President. I found that he got a thin slice of the paste that could barely satiate an eight-year old. To me, the food was too small for a man of his age and responsibility. I would have expected him to eat more but… I kept wondering, “is this the way this man eats every day?” While eating, Mr. President narrated how he was served a similar food in Burkina Faso. “I was so surprised to find that it is also eaten in Burkina Faso,” he said. “I was in the country when I was vice president. When we got to the dining table, I saw it among other foods served to us. When I asked, they told me it is made with riped plantain and yam and that’s the same way we do it back home. It is eaten by Ijaw speaking people in Bayelsa and Rivers states.” As we ate, the president asked Mr. Nebo what the power situation in the country is and what the minister said wasn’t consoling at all. “Mr. President, we were generating over 4,500 megawatts last week and the supplies across the country improved significantly,” Mr. Nebo said. “But a few days ago, vandals again struck the gas pipeline in Bayelsa State and another in Delta State and that brought us back to 2,500 megawatts.” The president shook his head in frustration and momentarily stopped eating as Mr. Nebo continued lamenting the havoc he said vandals were wreaking on power infrastructure in many parts of the country. “We have jailed more than five persons in the last few months but the vandals won’t give up. Even those who are arrested would never speak. They would rather go to jail than name their sponsors. The youths we arrested cannot afford the kind of equipment used in destroying the pipelines. Hardly a week passes without one or two sabotage recorded,” Mr. Nebo said. After Mr. Nebo delivered the bad news about the power situation in the country, Mr. Jonathan directed the minister to ensure that adequate measures are put in place to check vandalism across the country. “We cannot allow these people to continue to sabotage our efforts. Nigerians do not understand that part of the problem we have in fixing the power sector is sabotage from unpatriotic people who do not want the country to move forward,” he said. A homemade orange drink was served, but again the waiters would not fill the glasses. The quantity they pour out to the president did not get anywhere close to the rim of his glass. From its somewhat harsh taste, it was apparent the juice was extracted with the skin of the orange intact. As each guest finished his meal, the waiters immediately removed the plates and served dessert which consisted of pineapple, pawpaw and watermelon. Mr. Jonathan’s wife, Patience was conspicuously absent at dinner. The dinner ended with another round of handshake from Mr. Jonathan before he disappeared through one of the doors and we were ushered out of the president’s official quarters. It was dark at the time we stepped outside the dining room but with the help of floodlights located strategically around, I saw wild animals roaming freely and playing with their little ones across the wired fence separating the living area of the presidential villa from the thick forest that encircles it. It was a really beautiful sight to behold. When I got to the car park and checked my mobile telephones, I found I had missed over 20 calls. The phones were beeping intermittently as text messages and Facebook posts kept pouring in from many of those who had watched the programme. I left the Villa that night thinking hard. I thought about a lot of things. Does Mr. Jonathan live that modest lifestyle or was it just staged? Do they not serve good wines on his table? Is he that simple and calm? So many questions… http://www.premiumtimesng.com/features-and-interviews/178959-a-dinner-with-president-jonathan.html
Gej is the best President we have and can have for now. All we read are propaganda. And they no most of us are illiterate that buys anything without questions
bros1234: I found this video. Its very revealing. The summary is this:
Throwback Sunday: "It Must Be A Northerner First Or We Employ White Man" - Ahmadu Bello (1960)
Northern venerated leader, Ahmadu Bello Sarduana of Sokoto, in an interview spoke about Igbo and Nigeria.
"There must be a policy of "A Northern first In Nigeria", good positions must be occupied by Northerners, if there is no qualified Northerner, Nigeria will hire a white man on contract.
"If there are no white people available, then the North will consider other Nigerians only on contract basis," Bello said.
Nigeria belongs to all not northerners. For 38 yrs the north ruled, they could not even provide schools for their people because they want to keep them under a few ruling family.
Flets: Buhari has held unto the anti-corruption mantra for a very long time that we have forgotten to test the reality and feasibility of his supposed plan to rid Nigeria of corruption. I would not dwell on the fact that he has not layered out any plan on the fight nor his romance with the very same corrupt entities with his party. All we know is that is he plans to send corrupt Nigerians to kirikiri despite telling us that his fight will not include probing into the past.
Unfortunately one of our biggest problem as a country is illiteracy. If not that majority of Nigerians are illiterates, we would have been asking the right questions and how Buhari intends to jail corrupt Nigerians.
Which jail can accommodate all corrupt Nigerians knowing that an average Nigerian is corrupt? Which non-corrupt judge will prosecute the corrupt Nigerians? Is it this same extremely corrupt judiciary that will fight corruption? Would Buhari double as the president and Judge at the same time?
How do you stop the rich but corrupt elites from paying their way through the courts?
Where do you find the non-corrupt law enforcement agents that will implement the law to the letter?
How does he plan to prosecute his party men when the looted funds can be traced to his campaign?
To what end has such previous fights against corruption been effective? Has the proposed mode of fight against corruption ever been effective?
Even under military where the presidency has ultimate powers, To what end did the fight against corruption go? Did it end corruption?
The bare truth is that this proposed mode of fight against corruption can never work under our democracy .... Never!!!. It can only make corruption more sophisticated.
The only solution is the systematic way GEJ have dealt with corruption. The E-wallet system eliminated the fertilizer scam, the biometric registration eliminated the ghost worker scam and saved over 50bn per annum, the pension reform have put to end the age long pension scam. More needs to be done
By the time subsidy on refined product is removed and crude sold to local refineries at reduced prices.... The subsidy corruption will be eliminated.
Nigerians need to push the state governors to sign the freedom of information bill, with that allocations to state will be on a live e-site and expenditures on such funds can be updated live. Nigerians will have the opportunity to make comparisons across the spend patterns across different states.
Nigerians need to wake up and stop playing illiterates. We need to start thinking beyond our noses. There is no short term fix to the many issues bedeviling Nigeria but systematic and strategic policies are the way out.
This is the only way out of corruption. Anybody who tells you he will fight corruption..... Ask him how and test the feasibility.
Well said. A lot of illiterates are holding certificates. And a lot of certificate holding illiterates are blindly following a certificateless illiterate.
From Abel onwards before the law was established it was common practice for servant of God to give burnt offering to God, but I gues you don't do that anymore even though animal sacrifice predates the law.
Yes, because Jesus fulfilled that law. So where did Jesus fulfill the law of tithing?
brocab: In your scripts you don't seem to back up your words with bible scriptures.
Do you sacrifice, do you give burnt offerings, So if you say the lord didn't abolish tithing-then it's obvious he didn't abolish sacrificing and burnt offerings either. So can you show me anywhere, why you don't practice sacrificing and burnt offering, as well as your tithing's
Show me where in the bible tithing is about money, show me you have tested all the spirits. 1 John 4:1- Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Show me where the Lord had miss quoted Himself in scriptures.
If God told you to tithe, as you say-then God hasn't changed His law on tithing-and He didn't Change what was crops, stocks, and mechanise. So if God told you to tithe then he told you to follow that same pattern He had showing His Jewish people back then?
We don't practice sacrificial laws because Jesus has fulfilled that by being a sacrificial lamb. Jesus said he did not come to destroy the law but to full fill it. He did not fulfill the moral laws.
Do you know Abraham and Jacob gave money tithe?
Do you even know that Levi is a tithe to God by Jacob?
Do you know that l give tithe because of mine love for God not my Church nor my pastor. Am like God, love drives me to give.
You are the one talking like an illiterate fraudster. All the original instructions given by God to the israelites to tithe made it crystal clear the was to be strictly from their agric produce. Tithes was clearly defined in Leviticus and deuteronomy. The malachi passage you fraudsters enjoy using did not define tithes(leaving room for ambiguity) it was merely a reharsh of earlier clearly defined instructions in the bible and not a fresh instruction so to understand God's tithe well, one needs to go back to the original instruction in Leviticus were it was clearly defined.
What has being the seed of Abraham got to do with the unbiblical tithe charlatans like you are preaching today
First of all l want to let you know that am not a pastor and has never claim to be one as you.
With the aforementioned, I have no benefit from your tithing except like Jesus to see the gospel of my Father spread to the ends of the world.
What my pastor does with mine tithe is not my business but Gods business. From this l will let you no that am not as envious of people as you are. Your comment unvails your envy of pastors whom you see live large and your small mind tells you its a product of your tithe. Be released from the bandage of envy.
Lastly, before there was the law of tithe as put up by you. Abraham and Jacob has given tithe. Its a tradition of gratitude to God.
The hook of course represents the message of Jesus, the "fish" is self-evident. Those are the main allegorical allusions. Taxes were paid during the lifetime of Jesus, if you read the OP clearly you will realize that the taxes the writer of the gospel of Matthew alludes to in that story were not levied untill at at least half a century after the death of Jesus.
The coin and others were not explained. I won't you to study that place without the allegorical mind you have been sold. And watch the chronicle steps peter was to take and the reasons he was to do that and after ask. Could Jesus really do that in real life?
The bible makes it clear that it is tithes of food items it is talking about, it is charlatans that twist it to mean money to enrich their pockets. That aside malachi 3:10 was directed to the children of Israel and NOT Christians.
All the tithe means everything that can make food abound in the house of God. You go school at all.
How are you a Christian without being a seed of Abraham? You be fraud?
Tithes in scripture was food, it is modern day preachers that turned tithes to mean money whilst ignoring the consequences of twisting God's word.
How do "bring ALL THE TITHE into the store house, that they may be FOOD in my house" translate to tithe being food or is ALL THE TITHE as a phase too hard for you to comprehen?
brocab: Firstly we all know this story about Abram paid a tithe to the Kings as it was a custom to do so back then, "once" and he gave all from the spoils of war that didn't belong to him, So it was more then Just a percentage. Secondly Abram didn't become rich because he tithed.
Later God made the tithing sacrificing and offerings into a law, so the Levities and the hungry can be fed yearly-that was a lot of crops stocks and mechanise brought into the temple storehouses.
Those days tithing was never paid with money, and if God wanted people to tithe with cash, I am sure he would have written it. He didn't, because he knew money can buy anything-even back in those old Testament day's people would be using the cash flow for other reasons like they do today, WHILE THE HUNGRY STAY HUNGRY.
But as you see God had seen the bigger picture-Malachi 3 Bring all your tithes into the storehouse that there maybe food in my house. Bringing in food products into the temple, made a lot of sense back then, like it would make a lot of sense if we were to tithe today, EVEN IN AFRICA, AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD.
Everyone who reads and understands the bible knows-God gave the tithing laws only to the Jews back then. It was the temple customs to pay tithes in food-and taxes were paid with money, like it is with taxes today.
Matthew 17:24-27, Those who receives the taxes said to Peter "Does not your teacher pay the temple tax? Peter said Yes" After he came into the house Jesus asked Peter SIMON? From whom do the Kings of the earth take Customs or taxes from their own sons or from strangers-Peter answered and said: from strangers, Jesus then said THEN the sons are free.
Are you a JEW or a GENTILE, are you a JEW or a CHRISTIAN, are you the OLIVE TREE which is the Jews in Israel, or are you called the WILD OLIVE TREE which are Gentiles, have you been grafted into the OLIVE TREE-even in ISRAEL they don't pay TITHES today.
After Jesus changing that old covenant God made with His people-into a new covenant-everyone knows God gave all His Authority over to His Son Jesus Christ. And everyone knows, Jesus is the door way to heaven and to His Father.
Acts 3:6 Peter said silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. We don't hear any of this in our Mega Churches today, all I hear is give me your money, and God will pour out his blessings upon you. As I had mentioned before even today in Israel they no-longer pay tithes. It is only the westerners who have taking on this un biblical tithing racket. If you are going to take on the tithing laws at least do it right-do it the way God said to do it.
You did a lot of bad job trying to sell your point. Your comparison of tithe and tax shows you don't know what is tithe.
brocab: Again do you call yourself a Jew or a Gentile Christian-either of them don't pay tithes.
When you have time to spare, ask the Lord to show you how you can meditate on the word in finding the truth, the truth will set you free.
Have you heard about the story about the two witnesses, in "Revelation" one is the Olive Tree and the other being the Wild Olive Tree, well the story go's like this-The Olive Tree is the Jews in Israel, and the Wild Olive Tree, are the Gentiles, who are now grafted into the Olive Tree as the branches. The Jews having the old Testament and the Christian having the new Testament both witnesses holds the keys to scripture that leads us to eternal life with Christ.
Even in Israel they don't tithe today-so those Gentiles who are grafted in as branches-don't tithe today. And you would think we would be working together as one team, ONE BODY-ONE LORD-ONE SALVATION, AND ONE OLIVE TREE.
But It's seems only those branches who are broken off, are working against Jew and Gentile.
The Lord instructed me to pay tithe. When you talk of been shown the truth, the a lot of falsehood being claimed as truth.
Jesus did not abolish tithing. People masquerading as children of light are.
Follow your heart but stop teaching people who don't have knowledge wrong things
An allegory can come in different forms, the allegory here is in the conversion of unbelievers to Christianity and levying them. The first "fish" to be hooked is tthe first convert. This is very clear a also my facts are drawn in the sure knowledge that for historical reasons the story could not have been written during the lifetime of Jesus.
What does the hook, the tax collectors, the coin etc represent?
Of history, are you saying taxes were not paid in Jesus time?
zendy: T. Orji is the biggest disgrace to come out of the South east in this political dispensation. What makes his case worse is that Abia state is an oil producing state so there is no excuse to fail. I hope Alex Otti wins,Abia people need a breath of fresh air
ashson: APC alleges planned card readers sabotage on election day MARCH 16, 2015
The All Progressives Congress has said it has uncovered a plot by the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party to render card readers ineffective on election day.
It says this move is to justify their (Jonathan and PDP) fears about the use of the card readers and ultimately to scuttle the polls. This allegation was contained in a statement in Lagos on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
APC said, ”We can authoritatively inform Nigerians that the morbid fear of card readers by the Jonathan Administration and the PDP has now been translated into concrete action. They have hired an Israeli, Gyora Berger, to do the dirty job of jamming the card readers.
”To those who might accuse us of crying wolf, they should realise that every alarm we have raised in the past has been true, including that the Jonathan administration was pushing for the postponement of the elections and that they are mortally afraid of the use of PVCs and card readers”
The party added that the Israeli was hired specifically to develop three prototype card reader jammers, which he had accomplished, developing three of such jammers (25 metres, 50 metres and 100 metres range) to be carried in the pockets of trusted PDP stalwarts on election day with a view to disabling the card readers within the state radius.
The party said apart from disabling the card readers, the jammers would also disable all telephones, iPads, etc within the states radius of those carrying them on their persons. It equally alleged that an order had been placed for 75,000 pieces of the jammers at a cost of $200 per piece, bringing the total cost to $15m. APC claimed the jammers would be air freighted to Nigeria next week.
It added, ”The plan is to deploy the card jammers to the areas deemed to be the strongholds of the APC, such as the North-west, North-East, North-Central and the South-West. ”It is the planned procurement of the jammers that has given the confidence to the administration and party officials to continuously boast that Buhari will never rule Nigeria, and also the reason why a chief of the PDP boasted last week that the card readers won’t work, thus advising INEC to make alternative arrangements.”
The party said the Israeli, who had agreed to do the dirty job for “a desperate Jonathan administration and the PDP, is an enemy of Nigeria and Nigerians, who does not mind if the nation burns, as long as he has collected his pay for the dirty job for which he has been hired.”
VLadipo: “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 11:12-15 For full scripture-enhanced details, please visit http://www.dailydevotionalsonline.com/devdetails2.php?devotional=scripturesexpounded&&postername=Temmy&&id=569 Visit www.dailydevotionalsonline.com everyday to read a daily devotional, post a testimony or share a challenge. A problem shared is half-solved.
Actually it is a straight-forward allegorical story attributed posthumously to Jesus. I have shown that historically, the setting for the story is placed at least 50 years after his passing. I am not sure what you mean when you say “many players are missing”
In allegory the hook, fish, sea, coin, the tribute collector will represent something. But in your explanation most represented nothing.
Jesus asked peter to go with a hook and collect the coin in question from the first fish that the hook catch.
This was a divine direction like the one he told them to cast their net on the right side to catch a draught.
Your facts are drawn from the fact that the coin in the mouth of the fish story appear only in one epistle. How many epistle did the story of catching a draught appear in or was that also an allegory?
brocab: It can buy food-but tithing was never used for the Church to collect money, and if you are strong in obeying the laws on tithing at least you should obey the laws God gave to the Jews. Malcahi 3 bring all your tithes into the store house-so next time you pay your tithes give to your storehouse a can of soup at least, someone could have a full belly today..
The tithe Abraham gave to Melchizedek was it of food alone?

Let me ask you. When Jacob vow to give God a tenth of all if he return him back who, was that for food alone?
