See the foolishness and clannishness in the decision of Buhari to embark on the project even in the face of a challenging economy.

He would relocate the capital to Niger if he could veto it.

Kobojunkie:
Read Deuteronomy 28 vs 15 to the end. That is the curse that God placed on all of unrighteous Israel from over 1900 years ago.

If the curse is on urighteous Israel, how did God redeem gentiles from it?

What is the curse of the Law, and for whom?

achorladey:
You know they speak from both side of their mouth. I know that including it in their manuals that members that sin among them should meet with the elder is a control mechanisms to further the agenda of their INFORMANT system. They want to use it to show to the world that their congregations are clean and like paradise while those who are tasked with cleaning it are rotten even more rotten than those they are trying to clean.

Wanting to make a plate clean with charcoal.



A perfect organization made of imperfect people yet criticizing other's imperfections.


Can you feel their delusion?

waynetee:
They think they are smart, why should they forgive them?

only God can forgive, govt job is to send the criminals to God

Good judgement .
God is ever waiting to receive them.

iSense247:
Judicial technicality is a crook way of helping APC. How can a court throw away the merit and logic of a case but base her judgement on abracadabra? Only in an insane country like NIGERIA.

Abracadabra is part of judicial system everywhere.

Bloody liars and hypocrites.

So if I disobey, then I'm damned forever?
I thought we lived under grace and not law.
Your prayers are meaningless, doesn't make mine meaningless.
Plus why are you fighting yourself lol.

Wetin person no go see for Nairaland.

Kobojunkie is the wrong teacher to wrong students.

achorladey:
Yes, 100% yes.

You can see insincerity in his post.
He mentioned elders laying hands and praying for the sick. JWs don't believe God still heals today neither do they use oil in the name of Jehovah. They explain Holy Spirit and His works away.

He will come here to harass people about one deluded organization that runs tangential to Christ and His redeeming power.

Sonnetoshodi:
Hello everyone.
I've been celibate for 10 months. Till I had sex couple days ago.
Before that time, I saw my self as God's favorite.
But now I just feel like God and I had a quarrel.
It hurts so bad, cause it's now like I don't know how to go to him.
A week now I've not said my night or morning prayers.
Has God left me? Can we still be close?
Have I don't something unpardonable.

Good morning brother. The fact that you hear the voice of your conscience means that you are still with God, and God is with you.
Sin is a sickness of the spirit and the only cure for it is confession...

Confession in two ways: firstly, to God, possibly with fasting if your conscience is still pricking you. Psalm 32.5; Prov. 28: 13 1 John 1: 19
Secondly, to your your pastor or your trusted prayer partner and pray about it.
James 5:16.

Try to keep yourself pure thereafter. Sexual sin is a dangerous one as it is against your body. The body houses your spirit and you get weak spiritually. In some deliverance sessions, you may have to break soul- tie forces to overcome. It is better not to enter into it than looking for solution thereafter.


God bless you brother.

achorladey:
did he commit sin against God's people or Bible God?



I thought your Bible sey sexual sin na against the person body. Where the spiritual sickness come from. Oh I remember those manuals given to you by your religious leaders



Which account in your Bible says so



Oga allow him open his mouth and heart to the Bible God and stop placing men high and above the usual

Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise

Can you see insincerity, confusion and delusion in his argument?

MaxInDHouse:
You need the help of God's people if you want the Bible God to welcome you with open hands. It's a SPIRITUAL SICKNESS!
This is not the appropriate place to come rather go and meet the elders of your church and explain what happened to them.

[b]Is there anyone sick among you? Let him call the elders of the congregation to him, and let them pray over him, applying oil to him in the name of Jehovah. And the prayer of faith will make the sick one well, and Jehovah will raise him up. Also, if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. James 5:14-15[/b]

These men aren't perfect but their gathering will call the attention of Jesus Christ {Matthew 18:20} and whatever they decide will be granted in heaven! Matthew 16:19

The OP is talking about sexual sin, you are talking about sickness. The laying of hands of your elders will erase his sins,




I laugh in Jehovah's Witnesses's paradise's language.

DECENTBWOY:
Good morning nairalanders, I know its too early to post this but this issue has been troubling me for a while now.
I can't sleep, even if i eventually do, i can't stay asleep, for example if i sleep by 2am, i will wake up by 4am and thats it for that night.
It has been going on for months now, and i hardly sleep in the afternoon too..
If you observe when i made this post, I slept around 3am because today is my birthday, i was answering calls and chats from well wishers, now i am up again around 5, thats why i made this post, i am fed up...

Please can you guys suggest a very strong sleeping tablet for me? I really need to sleep and stay asleep, i mean lock everywhere up, eat, take the tablet and sleep a very deep sleep, a kind of sleep that i will not know what is happening around...

Please help a brother, i don even begin de slim like who them de squeeze blood commut for body....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUMBLE SELF BTW...

Look for faforon herbal products.

MaxInDHouse:
You this idiot i've told you to stop quoting me!

Aha, a ti lepo ọ.

Defend the 1914 lie and other dates

Ari tẹni mọ wí.......

MaxInDHouse:
That statement is to be understood from the point of view of creatures whose existence has nothing to do with expiration date.
If you look at it from the human point of view then the word "SOON" will confuse you because a thousand years of man is like a day to the Bible's Author {2Peter 3:8} from man's viewpoint it's taking forever but God is not slow regarding His plans many are out there with pure hearts practicing false religions they are God's main concern {2Peter 3:9} His angels are taking note of all the places where His worshipers (Jehovah's Witnesses) are touching with their message and names are recorded in remembrance of those sparing their time to discuss with JW {Malachi 3:16} so by the time God is satisfied with the WORKS of His Witnesses the end will come just like the days of Noah! 2Peter 3:10 compare to Luke 17:26-27

May you have PEACE!

According to the OP, all interpreters including Jehovah's Witnesses are confused.


The bolded portion has not categorically said that 1 day = 1000 years.


All of them are confused. No exceptions.

MaxInDHouse:
When Jesus said:

“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be." Matthew 24:36-39

It should be noted that the time to bring an end to badness can't be determined by hour or day calculation because God is getting time to time reports from His angels who are serving as His eyes foreseeing the activities of Jehovah's Witnesses globally.
So it's after these people has reached the last person with their message on this planet that the destruction will occur just as it happened in the days of Noah, that's why Jesus himself can't say specifically what day or hour it will happen! Matthew 24:36

Tbe OP is talking about miscalculation of dates and prediction of Jesus return. Only Jehovah witnesses claims that after the failure of their prediction, that claim Jesus return in 1914.


Please tell us more about that.

If you don't say I am; no one will say thou art.

AntiChristian:
Which Bible verse says Jesus was sinless?

Romans 3:10
as it is written,
“There is none righteous, not even one;

Where was it written? Does "none" above not include Jesus the son of Mary?

Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Does " all" above not include Jesus the son of Mary?



Are you a female or just one of your many lies?

What lies? She qouted your books and your scholars.


Is the Bible you say is corrupt now suitable to justify Mohammed's sins?

NNTR:
Bro, brother, there you go off on a tangent again, with your selective reading and strawmanning once more.

Lets try another way:
1. Was tithing ever practised by anyone during the time and before when Abraham gave tithe to Melchizedek? Yes or No?
2. What specifically gave God the temerity, to demand from Israel, the tenth of the land’s produce, whether grain from the ground or fruit from the trees, and a tenth of the entire herd and flock? (i.e. Lets see you cut the mustard here)
3. Name a giving principle that is better, stronger, superior, more powerful than tithing. Support your answer with a backing bible verse please
4. Have pagans ever in time immemorial tithed?
5. Was Abram ever at one stage of his life, an idol worshipper? Yes or No?


_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

Well
1. In the Bible, no record. My answer is No.
2. For the priests upkeep
.3. I don't know any.
4. I don't know

My own opinion: all spiritual communities do the same things. Which copy from which is not as important as doing it.

Money is spent all over the world. Each is made with paper now, with different materials with human civilizations.

You see my own observation from reading the Bible is that after being ousted from Eden, man was looking for God the ways they thought good. When God decided to be responding to man, He was using what they already knew: sacrifices, altars, covenants......
None of these originated from God. Atimes they miss It. Roman chapters 1 & 2 talks extensively about these things.


Christianity evolved from Eden to the Upper Room.
So trying to make Judaism, Christianity or related faiths isolated is never justified or justifiable by the Bible or other Jewish writs.

We havent even gotten to a stage to have analysis yet, as you didnt provide info to the above four questions

Bonus question:
Does tithing make the tither financially rich, wealthy, not afflicted with sickness, ailments suffering et cetera?

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

That is not the issue. It is a form of Thanksgiving originally. It originated from Abraham not God. It was later commanded by God. Just a prayer originated from man in the time of Seth. There are so many narratives about prayers today.


So whether you get anything back is another issues. The real thing is once you give your tithes, forget about it.
It is a religious obligation.


I think why people argume about it is something leaving them. They don't question prayers. So far you submit yourself to worship a god, you must give something without asking questions. Why Christianity by Christians?

I have not seen any Muslims questioning zakat. I beg fault my argument on tithing.

I love them all.



I love to hate the ones making Nigeria ugly in the eyes of all nations.



When they shine, they are our own; when they stink, they are theirs.

NNTR:
Peace, is better than being right, and seeing that you practice selective reading and strawmanning, best I unfollow this thread

If you decide to give direct responses to each one of the questions asked you, then I'll gladly find way back

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

Which of the analysis I made is wrong?

vdestro:
They were rebelling and disobeying Him.

Yes, but they didn't want to spread all over the earth. In the last days knowledge shall increase. All is in the agenda of God

MaxInDHouse:
You're just useless after all you find nothing wrong with the OP!

Is it paining you ní?

NNTR:
1a. Who are the people?
1b. Whats the identity of these people?
2. Who are the priests?
2b. Whats the identity of these priests?
3. Type here a list of manners of tithes that you're aware of

I am convinced you know and accept that every era has its significance, and that we currently are living, not only, under a different dispensation, but a very special dispensation, for that matter too

I dont see original poster (i.e. SuperWriter) nor anyone else contesting any of these facts you've advanced here

Truth doesnt become error, just because you dont see truth (i.e. The original post is absent of error)

1 Samuel 8:15-18
15And he will take the tithe of your seeds and your vineyards,
and give it to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
16And he will take your servants, and your handmaids,
and your good herds and your asses, and will take the tenth of them for his works.
17And he will tithe your flocks; and ye shall be his servants.
18And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king whom ye have chosen to yourselves,
and the Lord shall not hear you in those days, because ye have chosen to yourselves a king.

Absolutely, even the pagans, neighbouring the Israelites, whom they wanted to copy, were already practising tithe.

Each one of those pagans, doing this practice, must have turned out stinkingly rich. Hmm.

Fact is, tithing, originated from a Mesopotamia practice, incidentally, that prevailed pre and post the Abraham's living days (i.e. even before Malachi, was born, to several millennia from the outset of tithing, to wrote about it, ditto Jesus, who by the way, sparingly commented on a version of tithing. As for Paul, he stayed well clear of the subject)

This kind post isnt for under age
Even people wey old, dey shalaye
I came, I saw and I conquer, yeah
Ẹni mọ iwe ay, ah, lọ mọ iwe ay

If you want to go gung ho with this, be a scholar and arm yourself with facts, then share, what specifically gave God the temerity, to demand from Israel, the tenth of the land’s produce, whether grain from the ground or fruit from the trees, and a tenth of the entire herd and flock?
Lets see you cut the mustard.

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

So the king's that would take their tithes have replaced the priests?

God was registering His displeasure against self rule by the children of Israel not to nullify the part given to priests. An additional tax.


How is this dispensation opposing tithing?

God always make his people to pass through developed civilizations to showcase His power and agenda since the Fall of man.
Sacrifice, prayers, tithing, covenants didn't not originate from God. Since these were developed to seek Him and to live together, He came down to our level and accepted them.

Read Gen.17. for instance, God is like taking permission from Abraham to be his God and of his generation.
Genesis 17:7
[7]And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

So these became standards. The only one that God originated was killing of animal to cover the unclothedness of man. The theologians take it to mean sacrifice for sin. If so, it was still his idea to offer His Son to take care of that. Yet we still pray, give to God (offerings), vows or pledges. Nobody asked Abraham, Isaac or Jacob to give tithes. It became part of the Law. Simple prayer became prayers with vows. Covenant became communion etc
