BluntBoy:
Bible verses, please. When Paul taught the Berean Jews, they examined his teachings to see if they aligned with the gospel.

Now, provide us Bible verses supporting tithing as a principle of God's kingdom?

This threat is replete with them.

It's laughable when some who don't study their bibles feel there is a hidden conspiracy about tithing in the church which pastors have been covering up. Daddy freeze claims that the Bible. Command tithes to be uses to drink beer. Firstly that's is insult to God and stupid . But in truth there is a provision under the law to use a tithe for feast and eating .

THERE WERE THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF TITHES

There were three different kinds of tithes in the Bible . Daddy freeze dwell on a minor one to rubbish the major one .

The three different types are as follows:

1. THE LEVITICAL TITHE (sacred to God).

Leviticus 27:30
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord

This tithe is used for the work of service in the place of worship and also for the welfare of the workers there.

Numbers 18:21-25
21 And, behold, I have given the Levites all the tithes in Israel for an inheritance in return for their service which they serve, the [menial] service of the Tent of Meeting.


2. THE TITHE OF THE FEAST (Deut. 14:22-27).(daddy freeze beer boozing tithe )
Deuteronomy 14:22-23
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.


3. THE TITHE FOR THE POOR (Deut. 14:28, 29). (Every 3 years)
This is done once in very 3 years . It is shared among the poor . While the main annual tithe still runs .

Deuteronomy 14:28-29
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest

The first tithe, the one we trace back to Abra­ham (Gen. 14:18-20), is the sacred tithe, given to the Levites and priests for their service to the temple and the congregation in the Old Testa­ment. This is the tithe we continue to give under the priesthood of Melchizedek in the New Testa­ment. It is the tithe consecrated to God and the furtherance of the gospel and has, therefore, validity for all believers in Christ.

Paul was clear enough .

1 Corinthians 9:13-14
Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel

Now some may say Paul didn't accept support . That's no big deal . He didn't accept support in Corinth because of their carnality . But he accepted support from some other churches . Same goes for pastors today . Most pastors serve voluntarily. They don't receive support . Over 9% of pastors in Deeper life ,Redeem ,CEC, winners are serving voluntarily. They have their own jobs . In fact one of the criterial by which you are sent out is to first have a good job . Except only few who may be required to serve full time and they may have to resign from their job. To get support from church . Church tithe is used to pay workers , church rent , maintainance , equipment ,projects , generator fuel. Chair hire etc and other expenditures. The pastor is not the owner of church money . Every ministry has structure by which money is handled . A pastor in redeem cannot dip his hand into church account . There are approvals from head quarters for expenditure. Not what bloggers online post who don't even go to church

We are not giving tithes as commanded under the law . Our tithing dates to Abraham before the law came . And that it why the other kinds of tithes were not emphasized . So daddy freeze only dwell on the feast party which is not abrahamic . And antitithers are jumping up that they have a hero (who is not even a Christian )

A probe into stolen crude oil initiated by the Goodluck Jonathan administration has uncovered some scandalous revelations, according to investigations.

Well, to me, Pes2017 on ppsspp is enough.

Reporting to duty.....

Your 2nd semester of 100L won't be that challenging for math courses. Still the basic calculus et al.
It all gets murky when you start taking Real Analysis and Abstract Algebra which are rigorous and proof based.
I've got almost all math books you need for your undergrad in Math and can send them to you anywhere in Nigeria. Add me on Watsapp. 09020474736.

SetrakusRa:
Fundamentals of Mathematical Statistics?
You did Inference?

Icosahedron:
Thanks but I want university-level handouts as I'm not interested in the basics. Thanks though.

SetrakusRa:
i don't have any PDFs on that (not again). When i did Graph Theory in my Discrete Structures course, i remember using a hardcopy textbook (by some Indian authors.. S. CHAND? ) from my school library.

It was interesting. Maybe you can check www.tutorialspoint.com for Graph Theory tutorials. They're quite good.

Icosahedron:
Defence mechanism is really strong in humans, However, I shall not concern myself with such trivialities. Wish you the best of luck, brother.

Thanks!
The future is set. I will not relent.
You may have goals you've set, dreams you want fulfilled. Go ahead and achieve them and I wish you the very best in your endeavours. #PeaceOut

Icosahedron:
How did you draw this conclusion? Stop making crazy assumptions here man because you do not know anything about me, my post is about the OP and not the first class graduates. He appears to be someone desperately trying to up his grades, probably to impress others, the society, or himself for some odd reasons I do not understand, and I can never encourage such a passion or goal, especially in a country like Nigeria. Anyone that is heavily involved in Mathematics should be able to understand that real Mathematics are not taught in schools.

Also, I do not think first class graduates are half-baked, and it is only foolishness and ignorance that could make one think such, a particular graduate is half-baked when that individual cannot defend himself on his or her field of study.

You made mention of so many things I'd love to address but unfortunately, I do not have the energy or time to type lengthy posts.

Icosahedron:
When you go for first class, you end up becoming an examination passing machine. I would have loved explain further but, It is unfortunate that I'm too lazy to type.

SetrakusRa:
the irony.. how do get First Class by not facing your studies or how do you face your studies and not get First Class?

My brother, I taya oh!

Kenny4lyfe:
Hi everyone,
This is to inform everyone on this thread that a thread I previously created for the purpose of raising funds for my school fees has been closed as it's no longer needed. I will not... I repeat, I WILL NOT respond to any replies, mentions or the likes whatsoever irrespective of the poster from here on out. Thanks for following!
