Religion / Re: 10 Reasons You Must Tithe! by Lakesandspring: 3:33pm On Nov 05, 2017
9japrof:
Tithing is corruption in the church, tithing has ceased to exist, from the inception of Christianity, it has ceased


Tithing in the past was given to the levites tribe who never recieved landed inheritance among the twelve tribes of isreal. So Jehovah made provisions that they feed from every one tenth that was presented by the other tribes of Israel. They were priests by calling,(hereditary) and they never had any other job excepting helping in offering sacrifices on behalf of other Israelites in the temple.

What do we have now? Rouges in church robes, from the advent of Christianity, tithing ceased because the Hebrew nation(Judaism) lost God's favour and their worship no longer accepted, that is why today Christians no longer need to do animal sacrifices to appease God, so since no animal sacrifices, do you need the priest for the sacrifices?

Check out the Christian Greek Scriptures(New Testerment) there were no indications that tithing arrangement continued after the prior, during or after the death of Jesus Christ. Contributions were only made to take care of needs of the congregation or during a disaster. There were no indications that the apostles of those times profited from the gospel, Peter continued in his fishing business, Paul after dumping his law profession learnt tent making to support himself materially and so were many disciples. They never collected tithes or contributions from their congregation for their personal use or consumption

Let's assum Paul who was a missionary back then was like the stupid greedy money conscious rouge pastors of today, he would have lorded it over the congregation back then to contribute and buy him a luxury ship, he can always use to sail for his missionary journeys, but no he boarded merchant ships even under the harshest of weather and boarding conditions and there were no indications whatsoever that the congratulations paid for those trips.

All pastors who collect tithes and convert to personal gains are rogues, criminals any name you deserve to give them. What they practice is corrupt form of Christianity
During Bible times, people whom God used for miracles never collected "kickbacks" for doing such miracles, neither did they profit from their spiritual work. Gehazi one of of Elishas servants who collected a gift gifted by Naaman that was rejected by Elisha previously was struck with leprosy. If Jesus Christ, his disciples and apostles of Bible times rejected gifts and self enrichment from the gospel, who the hell are these rogues to do otherwise.

Church contributions should be for maintenance of facilities and for disaster relieve and not into some useless pastors pockets for consumption. This confirms that their powers for operation are not even from God because when God gifts You a gift, maybe healing, prophesy etc and you misuse it, he takes back that power from you, but we see pastors all over the world eating fat while deceiving the congregation with false teachings of tithing. Pastorism now is a profession, where one goes for a course like it's tertiary education, qualifies opens a church while being lazy and the congregation keeps feeding him fat from their poor donations.

SIf Jesus were to visit physically churches of today, what will be his reaction today? When he sees the commercialism that goes in the church today, where all sorts of financial and economic messages are passed in the church while diluting the message about the kingdom of God and salvation( MMM was actively preached in the church by many pastors, Google the pictures are there in the internet). If Jesus was to be physically present in the church, what would be his reaction when he sees that different sections of church are being called out to carry their monetary donations in their hands and come out to recieve prayers according to the amounts one contributes( different prayer for 10 million, 5 million, 1 million, 10,000 and 100 naira donors).
What would be Jesus reaction to find out that PoS machines are now being pass round the church to ensure that you must drop money, even if you claim that you don't have physical cash, no wonder quite a number of people save themselves the embarrassment of going to church if they are broke.
Lemme tell you what Jesus would have done if he were physically present in any church and see the commercialism in the church, he would still do the same thing he did in the temple back then when he overturned the table of money exchangers, and claimed that the house of his father was for worship, while they have converted it as a den of robbers. What is now been done in churches are even worse now.

Now is time to take a step, a commercial church can never be from God, if it were, God would have taken back his power and support from them. Miracles that commercial churches do can never be from God, else when they recieve "kickbacks" for the healings they do, God would have withdrawn that ability to heal from them, meaning these churches that collect kickbacks and still continue healing collect their powers from a different source.

Now is the time to sit at home, do an honest research of the scriptures, do an honest and fervent prayer to God that you want to know the truth and serve him in a way and manner HE wants. He will surely answer your prayers

Thanks you. You have said it all. People claim they worship God but don't read His word. How can you then know Him when you don't read the Bible. That's why the churches are able to manipulate them with some extract of the Bible. Read so you don't perish. I used to pay my tithe but I stopped when I read it's meant for the Levites. The Levites are the only tribe that did not get a share of the promised land but God compensate them through the tithe and offering that comes from the other eleven tribes. My people perish because of lack of knowledge because they are lazy to read and follow God's word.

You have been saying Lagos is no mans land. You believe in your numbers but we will definitely cut your wings. Fingers crossed.

Why?

Mr Kanu has every rights to campaign to his people in every state of Nigeria to support the cause of Biafran agitation so far it done peacefully and within the ambits if his last bail bond.

Why some people are vehemently against Igbos breaking away from the contraption called Nigeria I don't understand.

We can only plead with them to stay but if majority wants to go then conduct a referendum as it is done in organised societies.

Please revive your ADC party.

Bad bele no dey make you think straight. Utomi would have been given a chance in any of the SW states given his level of exposure and wealth of knowledge. He is one of the best brains Nigeria can boast of today but you guys don't even value what you have. You don't even know what's best for you. You have tried PDP for many years but they have not made your lives and the destiny of your children promising yet you still follow them like mumu. How them are you different to the malams in the North who ruled Nigeria for many years and have nothing to show for it. You had better sit and think of your future and that of the coming generation in your state. Think well and deeply if you should continue to vote for party or for quality candidates. Some of you are calling for Biafra and secession, I can promise you will regret if you continue to give this crop of people to rule over your affairs. Have you ever thought of where Lagos state would be in 5 to 10 years from now? SW people are progressively oriented and that why they have been progressing since the era of Awolowo till date inspite of drawbacks from Nigeria state. Keep voting for pdp and their candidates and allow them to continue mortgage your destiny because you cannot use you common sense. Yeye.

I currently work in a company where I earn between 400-500k monthly( salary, allowance and personal hustling)...

Please I need your contributions...

NB; cost of obtaining a pharmacy degree in Canada is about 10M...Should I invest the money in a business?

Go on and study abroad. You've got age on your side. Besides what you are earning now may not be sustainable in the near future so it's a good decision to study further. Think about the future benefits rather than what you earn now.

Yorubas should stop hiding under another ethnic group to achieve their aim. Be bold to push your agenda.

Don't be scared of Hausas. Look at them eyeball to eyeball. It makes you have respect

The problem about you idiots is you think through your emotions and not your head and you like to benefit from where you did not sow. You were and still habour by Yorubas. You and your parents enjoyed free education in SW when no education was free in every other parts of Nigeria and your children still enjoys it. You are welcome and accomodated in every parts of SW to the extent of giving polical positions meant to be enjoyed by the people of SW to some of your people, an action that can never be replicated in SE or any other parts of the country. One of your Igwes recently claim Igbos are the first settlers in Lagos. You claim Lagos is 'no man's land' and I wonder if your people will still claim Lagos when Nigeria eventually split.

When the Yorubas voted massively for your mumu Jonathan in 2011, you did not say they are afraid of the Hausas. Now when they supported the Northerners, you begin to run your mouth and call them names. You claim your are the one's who own businesses in the SW and North but you cannot use your business acumen to revive the economy of your region since 1967 but can boast of your achievements in other regions.

Growing up with the thought of how your dad abandoned you and your mom is bad for the emotional wellbeing of the child..
This can affect his performance in school and in sport..

I wonder if some parents don't have brain to think that their quarrel can affect their little child..

It will be better for the lady to forget about the man, keep taking good care of the child as she has been doing for the sake of the child..

She will soon find a man that the child will take as his father..

she should move on and forget about the fool of a man..

And what do you call the woman that slept with a married man to the extent of having a child for him? Think with your head and not with your heart dear before you judge. Ok?

fuckerstard:
I have been avoiding everyone from that land; in fact, I have been avoiding everyone from West Africa in general because I did some research and I found out that the countries around Nigeria are just about as bad as Nigeria.

This one weak me finish. The guy is not exaggerating tho

I purchased DSTV explora2 from this dstv installer shop, he sold it for me at 42K incuding installation. When I visited Dstv office in GRA yesterday to link 2 decoders na him i ask the guys there for the Explora 2 price and he said it's 20K.

The guy scammed me almost double the price, Corruption is in our framework. Almost everybody wants to use opportunity to scam you.

I don't care whatever anybody says about Nigeria. That's their perception and they may be right or wrong. However, if we are to analyse the issue of corruption in the country, we can trace it back to US, UK, Switzerland et al. I mean how can they encourage our leaders to invest stolen fund meant for the development of Nigeria in their countries and they have the gut to say Nigerians are corrupt. If we are then they are worse because they took our national wealth to develop their countries. Till tomorrow, Shell, Cheveron and others still steal our oils and help these corrupt elements to launder the wealth of our country. Shame to all of these countries and their citizens should stop criticising Nigerians because they are worse.

On the other hand, they came to Africa and took our people away and turned them to slaves. They were chained, brutalised, killed (many were thrown in the atlantic for fishes to feed on). They have not apologised to us for all these atrocities against Black people rather they will say Nigerians or Africans are corrupt. The turn our people to what they are now and they should just keep quiet because they don't have moral ground to critisise us based on corruption.

They did the same to China. I mean, what is the justification for dropping chemical weapon that killed thousands in Hiroshima during one of the world war. They should just keep quiet because they are worse.

I am a victim too so I know what am saying. I was once scammed by a company owned by a Briton few years back and no one is helping us to recover our funds from this criminal. They want to be seen as saints but some of them too are as wicked as the lucifer.
