Yes I read. And your post justifies the action of the OP.

Melchizedek is a Priest and King of Salem. In Hebrews 7:13-17, Jesus is considered a priest in the order of Melchizedek because, like Melchizedek, Jesus was not a descendant of Aaron, and thus would not qualify for the Jewish priesthood under the Law of Moses.

John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
**here, Jesus was telling the Jews, before thier father Abraham came to being (on Earth) he was.

Hebrews 7:3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually(forever). This was about Melchizedek

Who remains a priest forever? Jesus Christ.

Is Jesus Christ not the church?


The Bible is cryptic. It doesn't have to plainly say "take your tithe to the church" ..let the Holy Spirit teach you.

When someone tells me that be bible is cryptic, I am careful of them.
God does not waste words. Through the words of Jesus, we are clear on what God prioritises-The people.
Don't go through such length to justify an untrue point. You should know that if the church organisation fails to do what He wants, God can get it done by other means. So it is not strange for him to permit tithes to be paid outside of the church organisation.

I will outline the points I have made in my previous post again.
1. No human being has the right to judge that she has disobeyed God, when God has not said so. You or anyone here do not know if God Put it in her heart to do as she did.
2. The Church is underperforming, But God will not neglect the needy. It is not strange for Him to allow such an act as she did.
3. No one should make a habit of giving tight to do needy as God storehouse is wherever He declares, and the resources therein should be used however he wants.
My OP sister does not need to carry the burden of guilt when God has not declared her guilty.
And you have failed to show me a commandment ordering to only put our tithes in a church organisation coffers.
This is my advice to you God is Not Rigid! He may give you instructions you are not used to. You are better off obeying them even when they are against popular beliefs. Of course it is a given that He would not contradict Himself.

I will no longer contribute to this thread!

GlobTrotter:
Malachi 3:10-12 "Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts; see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.

Not a commandment but promise. So what exactly does God's storehouse mean? And what purpose will that food serve? God is not rigid.
If you are asked by Him to give ur tithe to the needy, you are better off doing so. No human being is in the position to tell whether this sister in this case has disobeyed God or not. Only God knows. That is why I adviced that she should not make a habit of it but be s sure that she pays her tithe wherever and However God wants it. Simple!

Brooktrader:
So because the church is no longer as it was, it means you should disobey the instructions of God?

Were there no poor people during the time of Abraham? Why then did he pay his tithes to Melchizedek? What does that tell you?

Melchizedek was not a church. Is there an instruction in the bible saying you must take you tithe to church? Did I say she should not take the tithe to church because the church is not what it was?
Did you even read?

blink:
I just like the christian on Nairaland to help me throw more light to this.

My sister, Only God knows whether He has accepted that as you tithe or not. If I was in you shoes, I would have done the same.

Unfortunately the church is no longer what it started as. What you did should have been done by those churches who received people's tithes but these days they are more interested in bigger auditoriums and venues and material possessions than the people the church exist for, this is why in my judgement I would have done the same as you.

Let me say this. God's 'Store house' for your tithes is wherever He wants you to pay it. There are no commandments from Him saying we MUST pay our tithes to the Church coffers. So before you 'Give' your tithe next time, make sure God is encouraging you to do it that way. Don't make it a habit by yourself. God bless you

still needed

Urgently needed!

Kindly reply to this post if you have it for sale.
thank you.

Why can the Blackman not make moves to benefit himself above others?instead they keep subjugating themselves and lifting others above their own selves.

The white man could exploit others because he had the capability to,if the Blackman were in the shoes of the whiteman they'll be worse, but unfortunately for the Blackman he is always the victim cos he lacks ability

Unfortunate but true

We are on the same page on that point.

babasolution:
Why can't the Blackman harm the whiteman? It's not because the Blackman is more moral seeing how they harm themselves, it's simply because the Blackman does not have the capability to do it,that should tell you something significant. This consolation that the Blackman gives himself of the white guy being evil is overused and stale,it simply doesn't fly

As i Blackman myself, I do not see the Whitman as 'evil' however, I think he is a negative influence on us (Blackman).
Let me point out that He (Whitman) has risen to a point where he has a Global influence. How did he achieve this? By playing nice and fair? By being kind and generous? It is true that He improved himself, but we should not ignore historical facts (of his 'exploitation of others') that contributed to his overall capacity and success as we see it today.
Even if we are to put the past in its place, has he stopped with the exploitation? Has he stopped making moves to benefit himself and his own society at the expense of others?

I believe that if we all see the Whitman for who he is and come to realise that he is not 'always' our friend, we will work harder on ourselves.

Iceclan:
You say this cause you don't know black history.... Civilization started in Africa but you won't know because African history before slavery has been wiped out or buried under the ocean...... The white men did more harm than good that's all am saying.

i agree with you till the point where read 'DID more harm'. I am saying the white man is till doing more harm than good.

bibianna:
What will happen to our vulcanizers?

I am sure these tyres would also require some kind of servicing. They will just have to update skills and knowledge.
Consider also that a complete transition to airless tyres will happen over a pan of many years, that's enough time to upgrade and adapt.

God bless you for being honest about the Factory reset. God bless your hustle.

The use of mobile phone have become a great source of distraction among students, a lot don’t read anymore , just going on social media platforms and be posting rubbish.

In my own opinion use of mobile phones should be banned among secondary school students.

I attended secondary school before mobile phones became a thing, and I rarely read. It is true that mobile phones can be a source of distraction, but we should not forget that it is just one thing out of a nearly endless list of possible distractions. Are we going to ban every possible source of distraction?

Mobile phones can be a major asset to students, and I think the best we can do to help those who are distracted be it is by using mobile phones as a teaching aid. (the aim would be to help them realize how useful those phones are to the learning.)

Phone or no phone, some will still be distracted.

So I think the use of mobile phones should be encouraged rather than banned.

Classickj:
if I insert it to my phone it just display blue light

you need to plug a micro usb charger to it. if it has the port

Classickj:
am not even sure if it still working

This kind of stuff doesn't spoil easily. But if you have tested it, then it's really not working. At least now, u know it exists.

Classickj:
I saw this small device in my compound early in this morning. I don't know the name, if you have any idea what this is pls let me know.

I believe that is an adapter, it should convert between lightning port and type c and micro USB. It looks like this one is designed to let u charge ur iPhone or USB type c device if all you have is an old-school micro USB charger.

What are they protesting? Don't they have documents to back their claim?

*MODIFIED*
It is actually sad that the people must protest before they are heard, and I find the silence of the ministries very suspicious. However, l don't believe that protests would solve anything, they should 'put their document where their mouth is'.
If the church continue to ignore court summons, there must be some form of ruling against them.

Jaculze:
says who?

Prove otherwise, share a screenshot

Gcam rarely works on mediatek devices. You can definitely rule out any transsion device tho, the probably won't have the necessary drivers

AppliedReason:
Is society tolerant of such people despite their innocence?

It will never be alright, even after a hundred years, the matter will not be forgotten, even those who were not born will learn of it.
This is why I will advise everyone to live as rightly as possible, to save their family and unborn relative from eternal shame.
the consequences for your actions do not end with you, it affects family, friends and neighbours, this is the truth.

The father, son and holy spirit refers to the persons of God.

Imagine a single source of light, in this single source of light there are three distinct colors of ray.
The single light source is liken to the being but the ray is liken to the persons.

When person is used concerning the Trinity it doesn't refer to form or appearance but center of consciousness. Whereas the rays are different in colors but they are same light source.
God doesn't have a source, but he is a being that is self existent but this being has three separate centre of consciousness, hence he exist in three persons each person relates with each other, which is God actually relating withing himself.

The father, son and holy spirit is the way each person relates with each other.
The only begotten son is called so, because he relates with the first person as a son would to a father, the holy spirit called so because he acts as the power of God, the Father is the initiator and authority of God.

Our body works distinctly too, your hand is recognized as your hand by your brain, your legs is identified as your legs etc
This is because each member of your body has different roles and relations with each other.

So Jesus is called the son of God because of his relationship with the father which is base on his person but he is God as to his being.
As a person he is the Son of God, the word but as to his being or essence he is same God as the father and the spirit.

A man can be a father, he is a human as to his being but as for his relationship he is a father. So father, son are strictly relationship terms.

I think this is an interesting way to explain the trinity. It is such a difficult concept to understand, but this puts it simply. God bless you, bro.

rottennaija:
They can if they are smart and work for it. Android OS is dying. Eventually, Harmony OS will take it's place since they are already set up for Internet of things

I understand why you think so, but is unlikely. Harmony OS is based on Google's android OS, there is nothing huawei can do to it that Google can't replicate or improve upon.
There is also Google Play Services, which is lacking in H OS. I depend on it, and I don't see myself migrating to whatever alternative Huawei will offer. Besides, I don't believe Google will fold their arms and watch that happen.

Stop the ranting & incoherent rambling as it's already too late.
Even if the issue was orchestrated by the president personal beef, the end result is good for the generality of Nigerians and Nigeria.

What is this 'end result' please?

Does anybody know what those conditions are? Why are they not making them public? Is it not supposed to be public information?

thats a lovely skin you have on there, looks cool

I am beginning to think that these are reassigned SARS officers. shey we will not demand that NPF be disbanded like this?
When bandits strike now, they will disappear, their only job now is to extort and harass anybody they see.

I read somewhere on NL that iPhone thieves steal the phones for parts. This makes sense since the only part that is unusable after locking is the Logic board. Considering the price of original iPhone parts, I think it is as likely to get stolen as any other phone.

I can even argue that it is more likely to get stolen sef but... no long thing.

The things that will kill it quickly, especially your GPU, is dust and poor ventilation. Make sure your pc breathes easy and clean it out occasionally if you are in a dusty place. Use original charger always to avoid stories that touch. Do these, and you can relax, razrs generally have great build quality, so it should last for years.
and I learned, the painful way, never to buy a used Pc with a Discrete GPU. You have no idea how much abuse it has already gone through. if you must buy a gaming pc, buy a new one u can afford razr or not.

Nokia n97 mini for me. I must have dropped that phone like a million times. Nokia did really well until they teamed up with Microsoft. Very sad.

Hello Nlanders.

Please help me decide between these two beasts.

Thanks.

If you have been an iOS user, I suggest you stick with apple because you might have a hard time liking the android user experience and if you have been loyal to Android OS you should stick with it.

However, my honest opinion is that apple offers the worst value for money, even though the Iphone 13 is awesome with unbelievable battery life I would not buy it as I am 100% certain that there is an android device out there that offers more. So it all comes down to which OS u prefer and your experience with either but here is a nice suggestion from seanwilliam if you want to try both I agree with him 100%

seanwilliam:
to enjoy both, why dont u buy 12 pro 450k and s21/note20 ultra 400k/350k,

that way, you wont be missing anything significant

But if you want an android device with that aggressively tops the galaxy, go for mightyfacts' suggestion. I have not handled the phone, but I have heard only good things about it, and it comes with a charger in the box. and this is the phone i would buy for myself if i had ur kind of budget.

mightyfacts:
Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra 5G
12gb RAM
512gb ROM

710k

Let us know what you eventually chose and why.
