Let me help your ignorance Jesus death and resurrection abolished the sacrifice that was been carried out by the priest in the old testament but every other law and ordinance still stand.
aswani: I was responding to your point about the old testament, the stuff I talked about is there as well as giving of tithes.
I have zero issues giving my tithes to actual Levites, not the charlatans we have all over black Africa.
By the way, tithes are not supposed to be "paid", they are to be "given". A salient difference between the two things exists that fake Pastors, Daddy GO's etc would not want you to understand.
There is nothing monetary about tithes in the bible.
Who are this your Levites in this our contemporary world?
femi4: Is it not in the old testament they kill animal and shed its blood. Your illiteracy is on the high. Read to understand, don't read to argue. All the Laws in the old testament weren't fulfil by the previous method, hence Jesus had to come to fulfil them
So, forgiveness is sin: His blood replaced animal blood
Man- priest - God relationship replaced with Man - God relationship
When you think you know the scripture but you are damn empty, also understand context in any verse you read. You need the Holy spirit to open the scripture for you before you can understand it.
aswani: Does that include, Slavery, giving your daughter away to people who work for you for X years etc.
I personally have no problem with Tithes but only to be given to people who are Levites. Not these mordern day charlatans masquerading as what they are not.
If you don't have any problem with tithe, you would not have put up this write-up here. I do my giving and tithing by revelation and I don't support sweet talking people to giving to the Lord they claim to love.
femi4: Do you understand what he meant by fulfilling the law?
To accomplish what the law couldn't do. E.g
Shedding animal blood for atonement of sin isn't enough to wash away sin
Rom 8:3
For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit
He was referring to the old testament incase you don't know, try and read your bible back to back then come for DBS.
Sae dae said old things has passed away but keep on gong back to the old
We are very quick to tag tithe as old testament and quick to still declare most of those old testament scriptures. Matt 5:17 Jesus said I have not come to abolish the law and the prophet but to fulfil it, meanwhile whatever is written in the old testament is still valid in the scripture.
43Ronin: I remember when I just japa and I was in a work meeting with unit head, AVP etc, that's how my phone rang out. I quickly apologized & put my phone on silent. They told me not to apologize that it could be a medical emergency that I can pick d call if it's very important next time. That's when I realised that wickedness & ego has been fashioned as rules in naija. As for that pastor, the devil in him won by preventing the people from hearing the good news
Unfortunately for you an agama lizard in Nigeria cannot turn to alligator wherever you are.
Apostle Arome Osayi stopped preaching and left the pulpit because phones rang in the church ! Is this pride or spiritual discipline? Did Jesus stop preaching despite the noise of the crowd? Would Arome have done same if he was in secular job ? Was he disrespectful to the congregation that came to church to listen to him?
Arome is a guy I respect and as a fellow comrade in the vineyard of Christ, I believe this was excessive and unfair to the congregation who came out to listen to you. I encourage you to take time to self reflect and publicly apologise to your church members ! This is very important because many younger pastors and Christians look up to you and see u as a father!
If you have an intimate relationship with Jesus I don't think you would have put up this attention seeking garbage up. First and Foremost my generation have lost the fear of God and reverence for God and we can't continue to pamper them else it will be said a generation arouse in my time that knew not God. If you have been following Apst or if U do listen to his messages you must have heard him severally warn people to always off their phones or put it on silent whenever they are in the presence of God. If you were going to see a babalawo shebi you go off phone or if to say you dey go interview or get appointment with your governor you no go off phone?
He has no moral right to talk about revolution in this country. When he was a governor what did he do, or as a minister. He should hide his face in shame cos an revolution will surely start from his house.
‘ I am a 35 yr old born again Christian sister married to a very conservative pastor! In my previous relationships before marriage, while still in the world, I had a lot of oral s£x from partners and I seem to be addicted to it. It relaxes me and makes me reach orgasm better than penetrative s£x! I have been married for 2 yrs now and I am sexually frustrated! My hubby doesn’t want to hear it. I tried convincing him but he has refused vehemently!
Sir, Is it a sin to have Oral S£x with your Christian spouse? Is there a way I can convince this man I love so much ?’
Mature married Christians and Pastors, advice needed pls?
In my opinion it is wrong, the mouth with which you praise God is what you want to corrupt. Your mouth is for eating and speaking not to receive mouth action. Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Lord therefore honour Him with your body as a believing Christian.
obedience4: Meet Pastor John Mwangi of Revival church in Githurai, Kenya. According to him, the servant of God cannot walk on sinful ground and wants to be carried by his congregation until they buy him a Range Rover 2023 Model
John Mwangi, a pastor from Githurai, says he is holy and close to God. He says he can’t walk on sinful ground because he’s holy and close to God.
So this pastor’s followers carry him on a chair like an old king or lord. People are worried about this because he seems to be more holy than Jesus, who is the Son of God, even though Jesus never asked his disciples to carry him. Some people say that this is the end of the world, just as the prophets said it would be.
John Mwangi is a church planter with Sozo Ministries in Kenya, Africa, and serves as our national director for Kenya as well. He and his wife Triza launched the Juja, Kenya church in February of 2017, which has since grown to over 50 adult members plus kids. Your generous support enables him to serve God’s Kingdom in East Africa by training leaders, evangelizing the lost, and planting more churches.
adebowales: Hello nairalanders! I seek your opinion concerning this situation I find myself in.
I have been in a relationship with my fiancée for 3 yrs already to which she is pregnant for me at the moment! Though we have been together enjoying our relationship until recently I employed a new sales representative which is getting me confused.
Since the day I employed my sales girl, she had been handling my business perfectly even while I wasn’t around, she always defends me well, though I pay her well for this, but she had been managing the business like hers and she makes good return daily, besides she is also a good girl in management.
The relationship I have with my fiancée is getting to marriage soon but I feel recently am making a bad choice even though she is pregnant for me.
Recently, my sales girl profess love to me by telling me she really loves me and she has falling in love already, this makes her get pained seeing me and my fiancée together. I had to explain to her that, I am the kind of person that is very loyal to my commitment, if we had met earlier, no one also would be able to take me away from her, so by that, I love her, but it’s late already as me and my wife has gone deeper and breaking up isn’t easy at these moment at all.
Recently, I found out my sales is already talking to different suitors which at times gives me bad feelings which makes me confused at the moment if I may loose her and this will definitely affect my business except I find someone better also.
immortalcrown: Is this God of Chosen similar to the Almighty God that created the universe?
Someone died in your place in the same accident. He died because he argued with you about the God of Chosen. So, your God of Chosen discriminates by saving only the members of Chosen? In other words, your God of Chosen killed the person for arguing about your God of Chosen and for not being a member of your Chosen. Una religious madness no get cure.
Let us analyse your belief: Assuming that those who are not members of your Chosen are sinners, the Almighty God I know does not rejoice over the death of sinners. But your God of Chosen rejoices over the death of those who are not members of your Chosen. And if those who are not members of your Chosen are not sinners, your God of Chosen does not care for righteous people who are not members of your Chosen. That is why members of your Chosen gather for madness exhibition in the name of testimonies.
He should have included pictures so we can verify this story.
cutecommend: If a church worker commits adultery or fornication, should they tell their pastor or church leadership about it or just repent and move on?
God is loving, forgiving and merciful, and he forgives the worst sinner.
Now, when a church worker commits fornication or adultery, such worker should in wisdom inform the pastor and seek for prayers also. He or she may also tell a trusted church leader about such acts.
But firstly, the person should repent of it and then speak to a trusted leader or the persons clergy or pastor about such acts. This is in general terms in a bible-believing and good church. This also applies to committing adultery in marriage or cheating in courtship.
Such acts should be confessed to the partner, as God will not like such secrets to be hidden and covered.
Secrecy is the strength of sin, as a believer cos a church worker can be an unbeliever you need to get a matured believer or leader for accountability purposes if you don't want to fall into such act again.

jesusjnr2020: Why Do Armed Robbers, Cultists, Witches, Demons, Fear Some Christians But Not All?
I remember when a church leader narrated his ordeal with armed robbers, after he traveled from Port-harcourt all the way to Benin city to attend a church program at the headquarters of Church of God Mission, and was also sent in the process to deliver some gifts to Benson Idahosa (late church founder when he was still alive) by members of the church in Rivers state.
He said the robbers stole everything he had, including the bag containing his own clothes, but left every single item they saw that was addressed to Benson Idahosa.
He was shocked that the armed robbers were not afraid to rob him of everything he had, except anything that belong to Benson Idahosa.
Just the name of Benson Idahosa inscribed on the gifts alone seemed to strike fear into the hearts of the armed robbers that they dare not tamper with them, even though they were merely gift items sent by his church members (of another state) which he may never have heard of or even had any idea of their gifts by then.
Although the poor man himself may have heard several mind-blowing stories about Benson Idahosa prior to that, however this particular one was now drawn from his own bitter experience, as he didn't have any other clothes to wear for the program he traveled all the way for except that on his body, but for Benson Idahosa who helped him with some, after he had delivered the said gifts and also narrated his ordeal to him.
While with Benson Idahosa, and yet recovering from the shock of his ordeal, he must have wondered what it was about the man before him, that distinguished him before armed robbers, to the extent they were so afraid of touching the man's things but not his, despite also being a Christian himself.
God bless.
You can rephrase the question as why fly no dey rest for hot pot?
Daejumong: Rich Pastors and Christians will find it difficult making heaven !!!
Matthew 19:23-24 23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
Why did Jesus say this? Let’s look at the preceding verses?
16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18 “Which ones?” he inquired.
Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’
20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
This rich young man was a child of God faithfully keeping his commandments just like many Christians and Pastors today and he was so confident of his stance in God and asked Jesus what he could do to get eternal life! When Jesus told him to sell ALL his properties and GIVE TO THE POOR and then follow him, he walked away Sad!
As a pastor or Christian flying private jets, driving expensive cars and living a life of luxury, Jesus is saying, Sell All and give to the poor and follow him! Jesus said to attain perfection and build treasure in heaven u must do this! This appears difficult and unfair to rich Christians? The disciples thought so as well. Let’s see their reaction in the verses that followed:
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Jesus explained that it may look difficult naturally but with God’s help it is possible!
We can invariably conclude from the teachings of Christ here that if you are a pastor living a life of luxury, flying jets and helicopters and some of your members are poor , heaven will be difficult to make for you! These are words directly from the mouth of Jesus who will decide whether we make heaven! His words are superior to any prophet, king , preacher or apostle in the Bible or in contemporary times!
If this one is advised to do tropical bible study he will think someone trying to take his destiny from him. Indabosky cannot even interpret scriptures like this, you can do better even if na clout chasing you dey do.
