I have shown where the apostles collected 100% not just 10%. The apostles never condemned tithing either.

It's quite dishonest to claim the disciples collected 100% when in reality what was collected was immediately re-shared amongst the contributors according to their needs. The collection wasn't meant for the sole use of the disciples like you erroneously tried to imply. And I have also shown you were tithing was condemned in Hebrew 7:18.

hardasan:
Tithing applies because tithing was never condemned. Christ admonished that we don't leave things like mercy, love and peace out when practicing things like tithing.

Jesus was addressing Pharisees who were under the law in the reference you made. We as Christians are not subject to that law cause we are under grace.

hardasan:
Please quote and highlight the condemnation

I am browsing with my phone so I can't quote it here, just check verse 18 and read up from verse 5 to know what was being condemned in verse 18.

hardasan:
The bible never condemned tithing in the NT nor OT. The law has changed, yet the law of tithing wasn’t condemned. The parts that needs to be changed have been changed, the parts not condemned still stands.

The tithing law was condemned in Hebrew 7:18-19. If you read from verse five the commandment to tithe was mentioned, this commandment was later described as a weak, useless and unprofitable law in verse 18.

hardasan:
If you give 100% to the church, no wahala,
If not, that doesn't apply to you

Neither does tithing apply to the christian Church.

hardasan:
Means that you haven't read the whole thread, please go and read through. All these have been talked about with biblical verses.

I don't need to read the whole thread cause I have done extensive studies on tithes, written several articles on it, studied all the over forty verses in the bible that tithes is mentioned and I have been debating this tithe issue for over fifteen years so there is absolutely nothing about biblical tithes that I don't know. I can tell you with all confidence that tithes is not applicable to Christians except you want to twist scriptures and misapply it to Christians.

Very insightful

hardasan:
Why

There is not one single instructions or example of Christians paying tithes in the whole bible and biblical tithes was not money but agricultural. The monetary tithe doctrine started in America in 1895 and it was invented by American evangelicals. It has absolutely nothing to do with true Christianity.

hardasan:
If you give 100% to the church, no wahala,
If not, that doesn't apply to you

Same way paying tithes is not applicable to Christians biblically speaking.

hardasan:
Maybe you don't understand my previous post. The early church pooled all that they had together in the days of the apostles. So tithing is not necessary. God commanded the lévites to take the tithes as a reward for their labour in the tabernacle. When all the money is pooled together, thee apostles are automatically being fed by the church and so the aim of tithes is achieved.

But what was pooled together was shared equally amongst the church members. If you are going to use that as an example, then pastors must share the tithe they collect equally with the congregation.

As the tithe debacle becomes a national debate, now will be a good time to refresh this thread.

Statsocial:
Nigeria is not even in the top 10. When it comes to mission work no one beats US, South Korea and Brazil. These Three Countries has some of the most radical missionaries. They are the ones who dare go into Islamic Nations. While the South Korean missionaries are actively involved in smuggling ppl out of North Korea into the South.

Meanwhile if they do a list of the top ten tithe collecting churches, Nigeria will certainly be in the top three. This goes to prove that contrary to the lies Nigerian church leaders claim that they are using the tithes and offerings to spread the gospel, they are using it for something else.

samdollas2004:
Bro to be honest with you, you charge quite high. I remember I consulted you in 2015 but had to get a recommended panel beater due your high cost... Sold the car later on... Just lower up price abit naa.

On the contrary our charges for oven baked respraying is probably the lowest in Lagos. You are probably comparing our charges with that of road side painters who will not deliver the same quality of service that we will.

samdollas2004:
How much to spray these cars to a brighter colour pls: Toyota Corolla 2006 model and Honda Accord 2003.

It will cost 65k each, thanks.

How much are you looking at selling it?

brocab:
{2 Corinthians 11:7-9} Paul wrote and said: Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?
I robbed other churches taking wages from them to minister to you.
And when I am present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no-one, for what I lacked the brethren who come from Macedonia supplied.
And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you.
Even the apostle Paul is against pastors taking wages to minister to you, If we were to preach the gospel, lets do it free of charge, like Paul did, and the rest of the apostles who preach the gospel of Christ freely.

Truth is that more and more pastors are coming out vocally against the tithe doctrine and admitting that it has no sound basis in true Christianity. It's just a matter of time when it will reach a critical mass of pastors preaching against the false doctrine and the tithing scam will be exposed for what it is. Of course the tithe merchants will fight back to protect their source of filthy lucre but the weight of evidence will surely be against them.

]Good car paintwork repair and car spraying needs the right conditions.
The low bake oven is the ultimate environment for car painting control. The heat is controlled, the air flow is controlled, all overspray is removed and not left to settle in the fresh paintwork. The air is changed as often as 6 times or more per minute so it is fresh and particle free, providing the car is made up cleanly the job will be beautiful. The air supply is dried and filtered before it reaches the spray gun so there will be no particles in the airline. Finally the car will be baked and the tough ’2k paint’ will form a protective layer once again, protecting your car finish.

All our work is sprayed in our low bake oven and baked… the way it should be!

]Spotting car spraying that has not been done in a low bake oven.

When looking at a car paintwork repair that has not been done in an oven there will be tell tale signs, here are just a few:

The overall finish will not have a deep lustre, it will often be hazy and the finish uneven.
If the finish has been sprayed with lots of particles in it then it will have been ‘flatted’ and polished. Non baked paintwork will drop in shine after a while as the drying process takes place. Yes it can be buffed back up but it will drop down again, it just is not fully dry because it was not dried at 65c.
Where dust and particles are ‘nibbed’ out of the final finish fine scratches are left. These scratches are polished out but again they will come back, non cured paintwork will take months to dry out fully so you will not have that tough durability to protect your base colour.

]What happens when a low bake oven is not used in the car paintwork repair process?

Have you ever seen a car that has been sprayed and looks really nice for a while then over a few weeks the gloss has dropped and the overall finish is quite dull? It is a common thing among the cheaper scale of car body repairs, bodyshops that have not invested in a low bake oven are usually cheaper, that is because they are not paying to have the correct equipment to do your car. All two part paints nowadays need to be dried at 65c. As most colours now are base and clear coat the only way for your car to be fully protected after a car paintwork repair is if it has been baked. The heat creates the chemical reaction in the paints make-up and that is what makes it harden, failure to bake the paint will leave it soft, easy to scratch and often dull

]Why use a low bake oven for car paintwork repair and car spraying?

This is a question asked by many customers who are interested to know more about correct car paintwork repair, car spraying or car painting whichever term you prefer to use. Low bake ovens are specially designed to create a stable and dust free atmosphere for car spraying. They are highly filtered to protect the environment from harmful paint gases and also to provide the painter with dust free conditions to paint cars in. Apart from filtration they are also designed to maintain a constant air temperature while spraying, usually about 22c and of course to bake the new paintwork so that it is tough and durable, this is done at 65c metal temperature. So in many ways the low bake oven is an absolute must for car paintwork repair and car spraying, any professional bodyshop should have one not only for their qualities to produce great car paintwork but also they are a government requirement.

Now you know what a low bake oven does it is easy to see that this specialist equipment is a must if you are looking to have your car paintwork repair or general car body repairs done correctly. High paintwork standards can only be achieved in a low bake oven as the finish comes off the gun first, before any nibbing and polishing is done. A great paint job starts with an ‘off the gun finish’. This is because in our controlled oven every coat of paint is sprayed at exactly the same temperature and all the overspray (the paint not going on the car) is sucked away and not falling back onto the nice new paint job. Overspray that falls back onto fresh paintwork can create poor finish hold up over time and can often be seen on a job that is 6 -12 months old after painting. If you are looking for a fantastic finish on your car body repairs then our oven is one of the ways it is done. The filters ensure that any particles in the air are captured, leaving a dust free, crisp and deep gloss finish – car paintwork repair just doesn’t get much better than that!

Car car tips

Tape saves light covers

A cracked taillight or turn-signal cover, if left alone, may allow your light compartment to fill with water and cause some real damage. A good short-term fix is to tape over the crack. Use the red or orange tape that’s made for this purpose.You can purchase it at many automotive parts stores. In the event the coloured tapes are not available in your locality ordinary transparent tape would suffice.

Car care tips

Touch up nicks sooner rather than later

Touch-up paint won’t adhere well to rust. So be sure to keep some matching touch-up paint on hand so you can touch up any minor nicks, often found around door edges, before rust has a chance to form.

Car care tips

Protect car paint from the sun

Paint does more than make your vehicle look great. It’s also the first line of defense against rusted body panels. Of course, the best way to protect the paint is to park the car in a garage. If that is not possible, park in the shade or purchase a car cover. The sun’s ultraviolet rays break down paint and cause it to fade. Some car covers protect your car from more than sun, moisture, bird droppings, and dust — they also have a thin layer of cushioning that will guard against light impact, such as from a tipped bicycle or small falling tree branch.

The Maintenance Difference

We all know somebody with an older, high-mileage vehicle that just keeps on running year after year---that crazy uncle in the high-mileage ride that keeps on going strong. "What's Uncle Fred's secret?" you may wonder, scratching your head with one hand while holding a repair bill in the other? At its core, Uncle Fred's 500,000-mile 1972 Datsun 610 is no different a vehicle than a two-year-old hulk that barely cleared 65,000 miles before it got hooked up to the wrecker truck, never to be seen again. While the short-lived heap has since been crushed, melted down, and built into another car, Uncle Fred keeps on trucking.

The secret is that there is no real secret to getting a vehicle to last a long time. The difference is maintenance. Regular fluid checks and an almost pious dedication to scheduled lubrication will keep the powertrain going strong. What kind of oil, brake fluid, and grease used is just as important as when it is changed. The best oil in the world will do your engine no good if you never change it. Cleaning and protecting the finishes of the vehicle inside and out will keep things looking good. Paint, plastic, leather, and fabric need help to survive the constant assault of sun and elements. Utilize both of these plans together and you, like Uncle Fred, will enjoy happy motoring for a good, long time. Follow the accompanying 10 handy tips for keeping your vehicle in top shape.





Tip 1
Check and change the oil. No single step will help an engine last more than regular oil and filter changes will. Conversely, nothing will destroy an engine faster than neglecting oil-level checks or fresh-oil changes.






Tip 2
Flush the cooling system and change coolant once a year. A 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water will keep the cooling system in good shape and prevent corrosion and deposits from building up inside the cooling system.






Tip 3
Change out transmission and differential oils. While not requiring frequent service, these fluids must be changed according to service intervals. Always use transmission fluid or gear oil of the recommended type and viscosity.






Tip 4
Keep it clean. While washing the outside of the vehicle is obvious, most everything the vehicle ran over can also get stuck to the underside. Hosing off winter salt and road grime is a good idea.






Tip 5
Everything with moving parts needs grease to survive. This ball joint went into early retirement due to poor lubrication.






Tip 6
Nothing keeps paint looking good and protected like a coat of quality wax. Apply wax at least every six months.






Tip 7
Driveline components such as u-joints also require regular lubrication. The driveline may have to be removed to access the zerk grease fitting.






Tip 8
Protect the interior plastic by parking the vehicle in the shade, using a window deflector screen, and applying a UV protectant to prevent the plastic and vinyl from drying out.






Tip 9
Inspect, clean, and repack wheel bearings with wheel bearing grease according to service intervals. Wheel bearings and grease are inexpensive compared to spindle and hub replacement, or liberated wheels rolling down the road ahead of you.






Tip 10
Brake fluid is hygroscopic. This means it is adept at attracting moisture. Moisture causes components to corrode and fail. Replace fluid and bleed system once a year. Brake fluid is cheap. Calipers, hoses, and sensors are expensive.

Car care tips

Place a towel under baby seats

All manner of food bits and liquids can accumulate under a baby seat, where they can permanently stain the upholstery. Place a sheet of heavy plastic and an absorbent towel under the seat to prevent damage, and re-secure the seat according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Car car tips

Renew fabric upholstery

Spraying fabric car seats and carpets with a fabric protectant, such as Scotchguard, will make them resist dirt and stains, and make them easier to clean. Thoroughly clean the fabrics before using one of these products and then test the product on an inconspicuous place to be sure the treatment will not discolor the fabric.

Car care tips

Use upholstery cleaners on soiled seats

The same upholstery cleaners you use at home can be used on your car’s upholstery. Use them sparingly, however, to avoid saturating the fabric. Use a clean cloth to wipe away the foam. On velour seats, brush the fibers gently to avoid matting them and to preserve the original texture of the fabric.

Car care tips

Keep leather from drying out and cracking

Leather cars seats are durable and don’t require a lot of maintenance. After a few years, however, the seats can become soiled. Use a leather cleaner to remove dirt and stains.Then apply a leather protectant formulated for pigmented or top-coated grain leather (the leather used for most leather car upholstery). Protectants will resist stains and make the upholstery easier to clean in the future. Choose a protectant that includes conditioners to keep your leather supple.

Car care tips

Preserve door and window seals

Wipe a rubber protectant (such as Armor-All) or silicone on door and window weatherstripping to keep it in good condition. Don’t use an oilbased product, such as WD-40, because the oil will damage the rubber. Regular cleaning and treatment of your car’s weatherstripping will also lessen the likelihood of your door sticking to its rubber seal in cold weather, a common cause of damage to the rubber.
