paying tithes is not wrong. it is something that should be done voluntarily and not a must on the congregation. but the part of it that aches is when these so called Men of God use it to acquire personal businesses and properties.
just imagine a Man of God having 4 private jets including a bombadier which is just like a rolls royce version of private jets. the $60million (N21.6bIllion) used to buy just that bombadier can be used to fund the education of a large number of individuals in his congregation into the best schools and institutions.
A Man of God is known as someone who is modest and mindful in every aspect of life politically, socially, and economically. he is not expected to be wasteful in anyway and his main purpose is to spread the word and help the needy in the society.
biomustry: If not for tithing, christianity would seize to exist
because christianity has been turned into a business venture by some so called pastors. just like business, if you ain`t making profit you have to stop to cut your losses
aikhimself: TB Joshua is a false prophet the bible warned about. If he is a true prophet of God he would not receive award/merit from a worldly government and ALL his failed prophecies and predictions would be 100% accurate just like Jeremiah , Daniel, Isaiah, etc.
The 12 apostles of Jesus Christ , John the Baptist are hated by the government of the day because they preach the truth and rebuke wicked political establishment of those days.
Fulmigati: Do you know how to comprehend simple English? We withstood Nigeria for almost 3yrs while you had the backings of your colonial daddy and other world powers.
A war you lost. You didnt withstand Nigeria for almost 3yrs. Nigeria was clearing your war mongering maniacs for almost 3yrs.
Fulmigati: If given a choice between President of Nigeria or Independence of Biafra. 95 percent of Igbos will take Biafrans. We are not on the same wavelength as you Nigerians and we will never accept this dehumanizing tag by the British called Nigeria.
and the biafra 95% of igbos call a choice could not withstand one week of military action and their so called savior is no where to be found. ISSOKAY
it seems many people misunderstood me by the comment i posted
im not saying what the police did was good but the mum to run away leaving the boy unprotected is my problem here.
if the police left that boy in the house or compound with the neighbour and something happened to the boy, same people insulting me here will be the ones asking why the boy wasnt taken into protective custody by the police.
im sorry if i offended anybody`s perception of what happened
SonOfAfonja: Eediot, I see how your puny, fried brain works, a kid had to be arrested to fish out his mum is quite alright.....And you'll tell me you're educated abi....nitwit
am trying my best to make you reason but it seems you have an aggressive brain that can only resort to insults
i never said what they did was good. im actually annoyed at the mom for leaving the boy alone with the neighbour. what if the police came and they didnt see the mum and then they left the boy alone with the neighbour what do think will happen.
especially if the neighbour is someone that has an aggressive poor reasoning brain like yours
CyrusTheGreat: The child isn't being "caught" for anything you slowbrain. What has this poor little kid done wrong? He hasn't done anything, and he's a child. Is he also a criminal because his parent commited a crime? What kind of barbaric subhuman logic is that? That's what runs through the minds of rats, not intelligent fair human beings.
i can see your brain is far more slower than mine infact slow is an understatement. have you even stopped to reason and think of what would have happened to that boy if he was left alone with the so called neighbour
SonOfAfonja: Fvcktard, so this is justifiable ehn....
you are the fvcktard here. have you thought of what would have happened if the police left the boy in the presence of the neighbour without his mum there.
KillerBeauty: So because she doesn't care for her child the police have to jail him to show they care? Smh
im not saying what they did is good but its even better that they took him away. because i can only imagine what the neighbour would have done to him without his mum there. we all know how far some neighbours can go in other to seek revenge
ScarletOverkill: Ugh. I can't bring myself to watch that movie. The book is my least favourite John Green book, and movie adaptations are almost always worse than the books.
I didn't shed a single tear when Gus died in the book. Didn't connect at all with any of the characters.
maybe you should try watching the movie. you might not cry but you will be moved emotionally
