Christianity EtcRe: When Jubril Came To Mary, Was He A Man Or An Angel? by MightySparrow: 7:46am On Nov 19, 2024
drlateef:
Jubril is an Angel, not God Almighty. Jubril is a messenger, messengers can appear in various forms as decreed by God Almighty. But God almighty cannot come down to earth to be killed by humans that He created. He can do everything but He will not yo below the dignity of His majesty. Imagine if Jesus was god and he was killed, who was in charge of the whole creation at that point that the god died?
You claimed that God can do all things. If He can do all things and with Him nothing is impossible, why making excuses for Him as if you are His adviser?

Christianity EtcRe: JERUSALEM: Islam VS Christianity VS Jews Wars And Battle For The Holy City by MightySparrow: 6:59pm On Nov 17, 2024
Jerusalem is one proof that God is behind the Jews and their God is the real God who is to be worshipped. Islam on the other side, by the prophecy of the prophets, are an opposition that will be defeated at the end of time. One thing has to bring them together, Islam is it. It could have been something else by a person different from Mohammed. The Muslim world is crying foul today that if American has not backed Israel, Israel who would have been defeated. Is America stronger than Allah?
All these things happening in Israel and Jerusalem are a pointer to something: Jehovah is the only God, salvation is of the Jews, Islam is on the opposition to be defeated at last.
Christianity EtcRe: It Takes An Extremely Selfish And Greedy Person To Pay Tithe by MightySparrow: 6:49pm On Nov 17, 2024
I still pay my tithe.
That's my conviction.



The theory that God is not a transactional God does not make sense.


Isa.43.24 - Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

Apart from giving tithes and offerings and gifts from the Law of Moses, vows are a way to put seriousness on your demand. God takes vows seriously and although, God does not accept human sacrifices, yet Jephthah vowed and God did not spare his only daughter as contractual obligation. Only Paul made vow in the book of Acts in the New Testament and fulfilled it.

Till now, vows are still relevant and it is transactional.
If you love God give to him and his work. Most people criticizing tithing take an excuse for not giving to God. We learn tithing from Abraham, it preceded the Law and Moses incorporated it in the Law. In fact, if not for greed, a Christian should give more than tithe - ten percent.

In my church, I know how the tithe is being spent and transparently accounted for. I am not scammed if your pastor scams you, look for a honest pastor and ministry.
CultureSame Sex Marriage In Igbo Tradition by MightySparrow(op): 6:27pm On Nov 17, 2024
DO YOU KNOW THAT IN IGBO TRADITION,
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
IS ALLOWED, BUT WITH A TANGIBLE REASON
NOW LISTEN,,,,,
The Igbo people have a culture that permits
same-sex marriage but not same sex
copulation.
In this kind of marriage, a widow who has past
menopause but without a child or male child
goes ahead to marry a younger woman of
reproductive age,
So that she could bear sons to continue the
lineage of her late husband.
The older woman informs the umunna
(kinsmen) about her decision to marry a
younger woman.
The umunna knowing that this is a great
sacrifice,
Supports her and accompanies her to ask for
the maidens hand in marriage.
She pays the bride price and automatically
becomes the husband of the young maiden.
In most cases, such widows prefers to marry a
woman whom has given birth to children
outside wedlock( especially male children),
Because in Igbo land, only bride price validates
father hood.
The aged widow, after marrying her wife is
given a special honour and place amongst the
men.
In some parts of Igbo land, such women are
forbidden from having affairs; they must live
the rest of their lives without feeling the warmth
of a man.
It is also important to note that the marriage
between these women are NON SEXUAL
marriage.
Homosexuality is an abomination in Igbo land.
The younger maiden chooses a man of her
choice among the ụmụnna for procreation.
Whatever child she bears is considered the
legitimate child of the widow's husband and he
or she bears the late husband's name.
This culture has helped in preserving and
ensuring the continuity of different lineage.
Please if this is not correct I beg to be corrected

FamilyRe: Is There Anything Wrong To Ask My Wife Weda She Messed Up While I Was Away by MightySparrow:
pelusi:
I traveled outside the country for 8 months now while my family is in Nigeria.

Now I will be returning to Nigeria next week. For this 7 months, I kept myself and did not mess around(slept) with any woman.

However, it's not that I don't trust my wife, but atimes I have an instincts that she may not hold herself like I did and may have fallen in hands of men.

Where I come from, it's an abomination for any married woman to sleep with another man because of the dare consequences it has on the husband of the adulterous woman.

Now I'm coming back soonest,I'm scared if she has slept with another man and I was suggesting before sleeping with her to sit her down and ask her to sincerely tell me if she has fallen in my absence,so that necessary things(cleansing) can be done before I sleep with her.

On the other hand, I'm reasoning whether asking her such will cause a misunderstanding in the marriage.

Please advise on the best way to go about this.
I understand your fears but if you asked such a question, you would be starting WW3 in your home. No woman would admit to cheating even if caught in the act not to talk of something you can't prove.

However, pray about it very well before you can do anything with her for the reason of the consequences and stylishly throw a joke or a fabricated story about what could happen and watch her reaction.

You should list what Christianity has brought instead?

All those prayers, vigils, crusades, bus preaching, street preaching, revivals, mass, tract sharing, etc. Of what use has it been?

Someone listed healing and deliverance. Does that mean only Christians are being healed and delivered in Nigeria? This is foolishness as we know miracles happen to non-Christians too. I know many Christians over 40yrs looking for husbands/ fruit of the womb going from one form of crusade, revival, shiloh etc. to another. They went last year. They will still go this year and the next. What about the daily, weekly an monthly ones? Na so so revival, crusades, etc.
Testimonials of Islam are all over the northern Nigeria, in poverty, illiteracy, backwardness, nepotism, Sharia and other vices.

Good question my brother. Nothing worse can happen to a people than Islam. The religion destroyed the glories of Egypt, Babylon, Persia and even Spain.

Saudi Arabia and Arab nations are rich in natural resources but poor in the head. Without the west, what can they do with their oil reserves? Since the defeat of the sultan of Turkey, who was later nicknamed ' The Sick man of Europe ' , Middle East has never known glory with the rise of Islam.

You that seems to understand what you are saying. Care to explain, "everything man was doing to connect back to God was what became accepted."

So Cain was also accepted abi?


And what is this nonsense, "Only two things were originated by God: redemption using animals to replace the death He said to be the judgement for eating from the forbidden tree, the other was marriage between man and woman."

Did God ever save people through animal sacrifice or through their obedience to Him?

Wait I didn't know a wedding occured in the garden of Eden?

Anyway, so to you who has understanding only redemption and marriage came from God, only those two things 🙄🤔

"Covenant was Abraham's idea, because he didn't believe a simple promise." The same Abraham called father of faith because he believed God or is there another Abraham the one who gave God the idea of covenant? Mr Understanding.

Even your question is dumb, "what replaced wedding prayer and sacrifice" must everyone get married, didn't Jesus speak the truth that not all will marry, didn't Paul not marry. Jesus said go and understand what it means, God desires mercy and not sacrifice. Mr Understanding do you understand what it means?


Do you understand your question, even the author of Hebrews would be ashamed for you

"Why didn't Jesus correct the idea of tithing"

Twice Jesus mentions tithing in the gospel both were of bad examples

One was even a woe

Matt.23.23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving them undone.


Luke.18.11-12 The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'


Tithing is not a justification for wickedness nor self praise. You mentioned Sabbath, just as Sabbath was made for man and not man for Sabbath, tithing for made for man and not man for tithing. When your interpretation of tithing leads to evil just as their interpretation of Sabbath did, you are just as evil as they were.
Jesus condemned tithing?

gohf:
really? show us where God commanded anyone to tithe before the laws of moses 😏
You seem not to understand what you are discussing. After Adam and Eve were evicted from the Garden of Eden, everything man was doing to connect back to God was what became accepted. Only two things were originated by God: redemption using animals to replace the death He said to be the judgement for eating from the forbidden tree, the other was marriage between man and woman. We could imply both water and spirit baptism by Noah and his ark

Covenant was Abraham's idea, because he didn't believe a simple promise.though started by Noah, sacrifice was by Cain and Abel, no records they were taught by Adam, prayer started in the days of Enos son of Seth. Tithing started with Abraham, Jacob made it a vow. Moses incorporated it in his Law for the Levites.. ( Mind you the Law of Moses was different from the ten commandments). Abraham and Levites had one thing in common: God was their inheritance.

So, what has replaced prayer, wedding, sacrifice ( not redemptive by God, the kind that Cain and Abel did)?, covenant, baptisms, vows, circumcision?

In Hebrews, we are told even Levites paid tithe in Abraham. Now Abraham's faith was to give only ten percent. Jesus came to redeem us from the curse of the Law, an additional burden introduced by Moses and sin introduced by Adam and connected us to blessings of Abraham.
If it was necessary for Levites to have paid in Abraham, why?

Jesus corrected the idea of Sabbath, because He is the Sabbath Himself. He corrected the idea of divorce and didn't correct the idea of tithing. Why?
