EHMIR:Well that is an opinion of yours which isnt a fact Jesus is always true to Himself EHMIR:It's nothing personal , just sheer pronoucement of judgment The alternative of the tree and fruit buds being BLESSED before eating if there were to be any fruit buds at all, is to CURSE the tree for failing to provide or deliver fruit buds EHMIR:The fig tree failed or missed the mark of not producing expected fruit buds in due season, this was worsened by keeping up appearances having leaves, as if it really did have or bear fruit buds It ought to have been bearing a spring fruit known as profichi but it didnt EHMIR:Jesus is everything the bible potrays Him to be, firm but fair and all 2 Likes |

chinnyness122:He was expecting to see fruit buds Read below about what ''it wasn't time for the fig to bear fruits'' means and etcetera chinnyness122:No, not some kind of miracle fruit but fruit buds that come out in the spring Notice that, the fig tree had leaves, like as if it is protecting fruit buds (i.e. this is what trees do with the leaves to protect fruit from birds etcetera) Now, what ''it wasn't time for the fig to bear fruits'' means, is that: ''Dont make the mistake that the fruits have already been harvested, to mean, that is why there arent any fruits left on the tree. No. This tree, at this time in spring, is meant to have bore fruit buds but it hasnt and only has leaves, pretending that it bears the expected and to be seen, fruit buds Truth be told that, what is supposed to be up there, is a teaching about bearing fruits (i.e. good and/or useful fruits) and the consequence for not bearing such fruits in expected time and/or due season 6Then Jesus told this story: “A man planted a fig tree in his garden and came again and again to see if there was any fruit on it, but he was always disappointed. 7Finally, he said to his gardener, ‘I’ve waited three years, and there hasn’t been a single fig! Cut it down. It’s just taking up space in the garden.’ 8“The gardener answered, ‘Sir, give it one more chance. Leave it another year, and I’ll give it special attention and plenty of fertilizer. 9If we get figs next year, fine. If not, then you can cut it down.’” - Luke 13:6-8 NLT 1 Like |

richie44: Ojestas: royalvalentine19:You are not to pay tithe at all for the following 10 reasons 1.) You are not a Jew or an Israelite, who was commanded by God to pay tithe from cultivating crops or breeding and raising livestock (e.g. cows and/or lambs) in the Promised Land 2.) The tithe commanded by God was meant to be given ONLY in Israel, meant to be paid ONLY in Israel and meant to be received ONLY in Israel 3.) The methodolody used for selecting the tithe, was to hand-pick for tithe, the tenth livestock (e.g. cows, lambs) that passes under the rod 4.) The implication of #3 above, is that if you started with 1 livestock (e.g. 1 cow or 1 lamb) and at the end of year, bred and raised 9 cows or 9 lambs, then you dont pay tithe for that year 5.) Tithe were received in Jerusalem and for convenience stored up in a number of Levitical cities scattered all over Israel 6.) Where an Israelite is supposed to pay tithe on sales, is when ONLY buying back the tithe, (i.e. buying back the tenth cow, lamb or cultivated crops) -there however, is a warning that the Israelite pays the going rate or value of the bought back the tenth cow, lamb or cultivated crops tithe, plus 20 percent. 7.) The bible is a book of divisions, where some parts, like tithe part, was meant for and talking exclusively to the Israelites and no else 8.) The common denominator in all biblical tithe giving (e.g. Abraham's tithe and the Israelites tithings) is a high priest or Levite physically receiving the tithe 9.) The implication of #8 above, is that a pastor is neither a high priest or Levite, hence has no business receiving tithe nor have any jurisdiction over tithe. 10.) Tithe was an obligatory and mandatory giving command made to the Israelite Contributions which are voluntary and optional is the sort of giving expected from a believer(s) It is what a believer decides in the heart and is comfortable with to give that God expects Also believers shouldn't be sorry that they have given or feel forced in response to pressure to give 66 Likes 7 Shares |

MarkMiwerds:1So Isaac called for Jacob, blessed him, and said, “You must not marry any of these Canaanite women. 2Instead, go at once to Paddan-aram, to the house of your grandfather Bethuel, and marry one of your uncle Laban’s daughters. 3May God Almighty bless you and give you many children. And may your descendants multiply and become many nations! 4May God pass on to you and your descendants the blessings he promised to Abraham. May you own this land where you are now living as a foreigner, for God gave this land to Abraham.” 10Meanwhile, Jacob left Beersheba and traveled toward Haran. 11At sundown he arrived at a good place to set up camp and stopped there for the night. Jacob found a stone to rest his head against and lay down to sleep. 12As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from the earth up to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the stairway. 13At the top of the stairway stood the Lord, and he said, “I am the Lord, the God of your grandfather Abraham, and the God of your father, Isaac. The ground you are lying on belongs to you. I am giving it to you and your descendants. 14Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth! They will spread out in all directions—to the west and the east, to the north and the south. And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants. 15What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.” 16Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I wasn’t even aware of it!” 17But he was also afraid and said, “What an awesome place this is! It is none other than the house of God, the very gateway to heaven!” 18The next morning Jacob got up very early. He took the stone he had rested his head against, and he set it upright as a memorial pillar. Then he poured olive oil over it. 19He named that place Bethel (which means “house of God”), although it was previously called Luz. 20Then Jacob made this vow: “If God will indeed be with me and protect me on this journey, and if he will provide me with food and clothing, 21and if I return safely to my father’s home, then the Lord will certainly be my God. 22And this memorial pillar I have set up will become a place for worshiping God, and I will present to God a tenth of everything he gives me.” - Genesis 28:1-4, 10-22 The above was Jacob’s dream at Bethel and his promise to tithe The tithe was officially claimed and ordered for by God in Leviticus 27:30, 32-33 Jacob, as we know was, later in Genesis 32, renamed Israel by God, and also, the term Israelite, actually is a derivation from his new name, Israel. The Israelites not only got their name from Jacob's new name (i.e. Israel), their national identity of paying tithe is an inherited obligation from Jacob and this national obligation came about mainly due to the vow Jacob made in Genesis 28:22 ''One tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain from the fields or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD and must be set apart to him as holy'' - Leviticus 27:30 NLT 32Every tenth head of cattle or sheep that you counted is holy and belongs to the LORD. 33You must not look to see if it is good or bad or exchange it. But if you do exchange it, both the first animal and its substitute will be holy. They cannot be bought back." - Leviticus 27:32-33 Four hundred and thirty plus years later, upon the Israelites leaving Egypt and arriving at Canaan, (i.e. the Promised land), God, in Leviticus 27:30 staked a claim for what is rightfully His The Israelites, in effect because of Jacob's promise to God in Genesis 28:22, had to and must pay tithe Genesis 28:10-22 narrates how this Israelite tithing thing all came about Genesis 28:10-22 describes the mutual promise of what each in the Jacob-God party will do for the other (i.e. what each shall do, give, take and receive) God's promise to bring Jacob back to Canaan, not to leave him until God had finished giving Jacob everything He had promised Jacob provoked an emotional reaction from Jacob that triggered Jacob to counter-promise give tithe to God if he ''return safely to his father’s home'' That tithe promised by Jacob to give, was officially claimed and ordered for by God from the Israelites, beginning in Leviticus 27:30, 32-33 Montaque:''One tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain from the fields or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD and must be set apart to him as holy'' - Leviticus 27:30 NLT 32Every tenth head of cattle or sheep that you counted is holy and belongs to the LORD. 33You must not look to see if it is good or bad or exchange it. But if you do exchange it, both the first animal and its substitute will be holy. They cannot be bought back." - Leviticus 27:32-33 Tithing was for the agro based or agriculture-based setting, and it specifically has to enforced or be done in regards to lands or locations in the Israel (i.e. Canaan, the Promised Land) The arable/husbandry land owner or employer-farmer pays tithe, the worker or employee farmhand is exempted, as there is/was no law that required a tenth of one's monetary salary to be tithed The tenth of the increase is particurlarly only with an agro based or agriculture-based setting and the selection is done by letting the flock pass over a rod, where every tenth count whether good or bad looking is God's and put aside as tithe If a farmer, at the beginning of the year, started with one cow and at end of the year had 9 cows, then according to Leviticus 27:32 methodology of paying tithe, the farmer has no case of tithe paying here Salary earners such as bankers etcetera, have no business with paying tithes Besides so many other informative and persuasive reasons, if at all one is determined and hell-bent on paying tithe, then, one has to be an Israelite and the land which tithe is paid on or paid from has to be in Israel (i.e. Canaan the Promised Land) |

donephi:When this newspaper visited the Ikeja office of the two media houses, disgruntled journalists narrated how the fortunes of the organization have plunged over the years under Sylvester Ebodaghe, a deacon and one of Pastor Chris’s minions who runs the publishing business, despite huge funds the church pumps into it. https://s9.postimg.org/tfdkw08cv/Deac_Oyak.png eacon Armstrong Oyakhilome, Pastor Chris’s uncle In a July 18, 2016 SOS letter the angry staff presented to Deacon Armstrong Oyakhilome, Pastor Chris’s uncle and guardian, the staff narrated how Sylvester Ebodaghe’s mismanagement and incompetence have set the media empire back from a once bubbly organization to a desolate orb where staff constantly shut down production to press home their demands. “We are wondering if you are aware that:. Employees of Paradigm Communications Ltd are being owed arrears of salaries running into five months, and still counting. National Standard Magazine, once an award-winning journal of development and nation building, is no longer in circulation for seven months now. In 2015, the magazine was only published twice in February and December. The story was not quite different in 2014 and 2013 respective The information we received from the Sylvester Ebodaghe-led management is that the magazine is not being funded by anyone or group, as a result, it makes no business sense publishing the magazine again. Except once in a while when the magazine has to be packaged to celebrate the birthday of the Man of God, Pastor Chris, or when Sylvester Ebodaghe himself has a special project. The National Daily Newspaper is not without its own challenges too. Besides its 13-man editorial team and four-man circulation staff in Lagos, the newspaper, which is supposed to be a nationwide publication, has seven out-station correspondents who are mostly not paid. As if to worsen the crises, the management has sacked the entire marketing & advert departments for a long while now, hence making it impossible for the titles to reach out and drive revenue generation…’ the letter read in part. And although Deacon Armstrong Oyakhilome, who is also a prominent Administrator in the Believers Love World Ministry, aka Christ Embassy, promised the disgruntled staff their salaries will be paid within two weeks of receiving their SOS, this newspaper gathered that the church reneged on its promise after Sylvester Ebodaghe recruited the service of a certain unknown lawyer to intercede with Deacon Armstrong on his behalf so that Pastor Chris does not get to hear of the crises threatening the life of its media empire. “We already suspect that they might not pay us because Deacon Armstrong specifically told our representatives who presented the letter to the church that he doesn’t want to hurt Sylvester Ebodaghe,’ one of the staff told this newspaper. This newspaper learnt that after Pastor Chris’s uncle and Sylvester Ebodaghe conspired to shield the SOS from reaching Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, Sylvester has been threatening to sack all of the journalists in the two stables rather than pay the backlog as promised by the church. “In fact, he began interviewing some journalists recently after Deacon Armstrong Oyakhilome asked us to go back to work,’ another staff recounts. But the angry staff told this newspaper that they are planning to surprise both Sylvester Ebodaghe and the church if the arrears of salaries are not paid within 72 hours. “We are waiting for them to default again so we can be absolutely justified in our actions,’ a staff reveals to this newspaper. http://ashaanewsonline..co.uk/2016/09/oyakhilome-media-empire-goes-broke.html http://naijachurchnews.com/hungry-workers-oyakhilomes-national-daily-cry/ |

frubben:1This is how Aaron’s descendants, the priests, were divided into groups for service. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and they had no sons. So only Eleazar and Ithamar were left to carry on as priests. 3With the help of Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and of Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, David divided Aaron’s descendants into groups according to their various duties. 4Eleazar’s descendants were divided into sixteen groups and Ithamar’s into eight, for there were more family leaders among the descendants of Eleazar. 5All tasks were assigned to the various groups by means of sacred lots so that no preference would be shown, for there were many qualified officials serving God in the sanctuary from among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar. 6Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, acted as secretary and wrote down the names and assignments in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the family leaders of the priests and Levites. The descendants of Eleazar and Ithamar took turns casting lots. 7The first lot fell to Jehoiarib.The second lot fell to Jedaiah. 8The third lot fell to Harim.The fourth lot fell to Seorim. 9The fifth lot fell to Malkijah.The sixth lot fell to Mijamin. 10The seventh lot fell to Hakkoz. The eighth lot fell to Abijah - 1 Chronicles 24:1-10 5When Herod was king of Judea, there was a Jewish priest named Zechariah. He was a member of the priestly order of Abijah, and his wife, Elizabeth, was also from the priestly line of Aaron. 6Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous in God’s eyes, careful to obey all of the Lord’s commandments and regulations. 7They had no children because Elizabeth was unable to conceive, and they were both very old. 8One day Zechariah was serving God in the Temple, for his order was on duty that week. 9As was the custom of the priests, he was chosen by lot to enter the sanctuary of the Lord and burn incense. 10While the incense was being burned, a great crowd stood outside, praying. 11While Zechariah was in the sanctuary, an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the incense altar. 12Zechariah was shaken and overwhelmed with fear when he saw him. 13But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John - Luke 1:5-13 John the Baptist's parents are both from the tribe of Levi Everything else you wrote is 110% correct except for the marriage, procreation and ''job'' oversight |

1bkaye:Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a cancer that develops from the cells that line lymph or blood vessels. It was once an uncommon cancer that mainly affected older men of Mediterranean, Eastern European, or Middle Eastern ancestry, organ transplant patients, or young men in Africa. But in the past few decades, most KS cases in the United States have been linked to HIV infection in men who have sex with men. These cases are called epidemic KS (or AIDS-related KS). KS is related to a second viral infection. This virus is called human herpesvirus 8 ( HHV-8 ) also known as Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). HHV-8 does not seem to cause disease in most healthy people. The HHV-8 virus is found in saliva, which may be one of the ways it is passed to others. In the United States, infection with HHV-8 is common among men who have sex with men, but it can also be shared between men and women. In most cases, epidemic KS causes dark purplish or brownish spots (called lesions) on the skin or in the mouth. KS may also affect the lymph nodes and other organs, such as the digestive tract, lungs, liver, and spleen. When they are first diagnosed, some people with HIV and KS have no other symptoms, especially if their only lesions are on the skin. But some – even those with no skin lesions – can have other symptoms, such as swollen lymph nodes, unexplained fever, or weight loss. Over time, epidemic KS spreads throughout the body. If KS involves a lot of the lung or intestine, it can be fatal. To learn more about this type of cancer, see our document Kaposi Sarcoma. http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/infectiousagents/hivinfectionandaids/hiv-infection-and-aids-hiv-aids-and-cancer http://www.cancer.org/cancer/kaposisarcoma/detailedguide/kaposi-sarcoma-what-is-kaposi-sarcoma sukkot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLwWFdporfw Technically its cancer, just like Clinton's infamous line ''I did not have sexual relations with that woman'' Love the various pop ups in this video, they keep popping up at the right moment, as he comes out with an official but sanitised version of the situation |

All here is a free-will offering” “The Apology”, Chapter XXXIX John Wycliffe (1330 – 1384) Theologian, Reformer, Teacher at Oxford in England, Translated the bible from Vulgate into vernacular English (The Wycliffe Bible) “why curates are so severe in exacting tithes, since Christ and his apostles took no tithes, as men do now ; neither paid them, nor even spoke of them, either in the Gospel or the Epistles, which are the perfect law of freedom and grace. But Christ lived on the alms of holy women, as the Gospel telleth ; and the apostles lived sometimes by the labor of their hands, and sometimes took a poor livelihood and clothing, given of free will and devotion by the people, without asking or constraining.” ” Paul proved that priests, preaching truly the gospel, should live by the gospel, and said naught of tithes. Certainly tithes were due to priests in the Old Law — but it is not so now, in the law of grace.” “Tracts and Treatises of John de Wycliffe” 1845 Translation by Robert Vaughan Martin Luther (1483 – 1546) Professor of theology, Seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation, Known for “Ninety-Five Theses”, Translated the Bible from Latin into a native language “But the other commandments of Moses, which are not [implanted in all men] by nature, the Gentiles do not hold. Nor do these pertain to the Gentiles, such as the tithe” “How Christians Should Regard Moses ” p.139; August 27, 1525 John Wesley (1703 – 1791) Theologian, Credited with the foundation Methodism. His work and writings also played a leading role in the development of the Holiness movement and Pentecostalism “give all you can, or, in other words, give all you have to God. Do not stint yourself, like a Jew rather than a Christian, to this or that proportion. “Render unto God,” not a tenth, not a third, not half, but all that is God’s, be it more or less” “The Use of Money” Charles Spurgeon (1834 – 1892) Preached to around 10,000,000 people, Remains one of the most influential preachers to this day – considered by some as the best “But you are not under a system similar to that by which the Jews were obliged to pay tithes to the priests. If there were any such rule laid down in the Gospel, it would destroy the beauty of spontaneous giving and take away all the bloom from the fruit of your liberality! There is no law to tell me what I should give my father on his birthday. There is no rule laid down in any law book to decide what present a husband should give to his wife, nor what token of affection we should bestow upon others whom we love. No, the gift must be a free one, or it has lost all its sweetness.” “Christ’s Poverty, Our Riches” (Sermon 2716) April 18, 1880 C.I. Scofield (1843 – 1921) Theologian, Author of the best-selling annotated Bible “In contrast with the law, which imposed giving as a divine requirement, Christian giving is voluntary, and a test of sincerity and love.” “Scofield Reference Bible” 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 John F. MacArthur (1939) Serves as the President of The Master's University Acknowledged as one of the most influential preachers of his time, Authored or edited more than 150 books “You know what’s wrong with the 10%? Number one, it isn’t biblical and it’s giving for the wrong reason. It’s giving to fulfill an obligation rather than a response to a loving, willing heart, right? Second thing that’s wrong with it is, it hinders what you could do by making you think you’re done. Giving is never to be by coercion. It is never to be by fundraising. It is never to be by compulsion. It is any gimmick is offensive to God.” “God’s Plan for Giving, Part 1” February 09, 1975 “Tithing does appear in the Bible. So, yes, tithing is biblical. But it is not Christian. The tithe belongs to ancient Israel. It was essentially their income tax. Never do you find first-century Christians tithing in the New Testament.” - Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices Frank Viola and George Barna Authors “Many people are hung up on the legal system of tithing. I’ve got nothing against giving. But you are not under the tithe.” – Les Feldick, Founder of “Through the Bible” “tithing is biblical like polygamy, slavery, and animal sacrifices are biblical. These concepts are included in the Bible. But they are all part of another covenant, one replaced by the New Covenant in the work of Christ.” – Dr. Glenn Kreider, professor of Theological Studies Dallas Theological Seminary Jehovah’s Witnesses The commandment to tithe, or contribute a tenth of one’s belongings, was part of the Law given to the ancient nation of Israel. However, the Bible makes it clear that this Law—including the “commandment to collect tithes”—does not apply to Christians. Separatists That the due maintenance of the Officers aforesaid, should be of the free and voluntary contribution of the Church, that according to Christ’s ordinance, they which preach the Gospel may live of the Gospel: and not by Popish Lordships and Livings, or Jewish tithes and Offerings. 1 Like |

PastorAIO:Yes, the bible as have earlier provided with verses tells that angel(s) stood in for Yahweh. I have nothing to gain inventing anything studying God. Am on the road an had to be parking trying to respond but not as effectively as I would have liked to, especially regarding Shema etcetera. You are making as if Shema just means Hear alone, it actually means more than Hear alone, as it means Hear and Obey, as in Obedience I will return as soon as possible to justifiably respond to your posts above. Thanks but no thanks, your websites are not an exhaustive meaning of what Shema is. I will soon be back, once back in |

PastorAIO:Here you go again Chief. What is Shema please? Now tell, what is its relationship and connection in Daniel 9:10? PastorAIO:What else is Shema known to be Chief? Am being straight and all above board with you Chief, no magomago or wuruwuru to the answer. PastorAIO:Yes because the angel stood in for Yahweh, a divine agent or Yahweh's representative as it were Afterall it is common knowledge angel means messenger, in this case Yahweh's messenger |

PastorAIO:Why not. Sounds like a good idea to knuckle down PastorAIO:Your wish is my command One out of the many passages is Daniel 9:10-11 Verse 10 talks of the former (i.e. royal law), whilst verse 11 talks of the latter (i.e. Moses Law) Another hint about the royal law is found in James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: - James 2:8 KJV PastorAIO:I thought your eagle eyes would've picked up this from Galatians 3:19 that I earlier posted Never mind, along with other verses (e.g. Judges 2:1 etcetera), Galatians 3:19 is now repeated and it with other verses are appropriately underlined to highlight the divine agent(s) (i.e. angel(s) or God's representative(s)) roles concerning how Yahweh addressed Moses in Exodus 20 and Exodus 21 You deliberately disobeyed God's law, even though you received it from the hands of angels - Acts 7:53 NLT For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished - Hebrews 2:2 NLT Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people - Galatians 3:19 NLT 20“See, I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you. 21 Pay close attention to him, and obey his instructions. Do not rebel against him, for he is my representative, and he will not forgive your rebellion - Exodus 23:20-21 NLT The angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said to the Israelites, "I brought you out of Egypt in to this land that I swore to give your ancestors, and I said I would never break my covenant with you - Judges 2:1 NLT |

PastorAIO:https://i57.tinypic.com/34sp9j4.gif Haba Chief, if you are being honest you would admit I was giving another example of bigotry you raised in your post where some paste non original works here and not able to defend is as they aren't the author Don't be reading my posts in a rush, I don't read yours like that, and this is why am able to piecemeal respond to them PastorAIO:Apart from your occasional humility, I always enjoy the privilege of engaging you because we learn a thing or two for not more off each other, we provoke each other to search and confirm things out. Surprisingly for you there is such thing as a distinction of 'royal law' and 'moses law' received from angels. I think you aren't familiar with the phrase royal law and not aware why they are called royal laws If am right, I already provided verses attesting to that. Please correct if I havent. PastorAIO:Whatever this means PastorAIO:It's all in the bible alright Again not cherry-picking but applying 2 Timothy 2:15 |

Seun:We know how that has so far helped us today Seun:Religious people or the bible is thinking of pleasure to be any form of gratification, stemming from selfish ambitions etcetera and not pleasure being just about food or sex Having said that, once aware of a few facts, one is able to be understand why food or sex moves to the forefront Seun:Love him or hate him, you have to admire Seun's chutzpah and unapologetic slipped in ''We are highly intelligent apes'' remark Yep highly intelligent apes and of the genus Homo, but doesnt shade the fact that we are fearfully and wonderfully made beings Not sure how much Seun knows that, he is in many ways, so much on to something very important with that remark |
