I have seen too many ignorant topics on this section about the Nepal Earthquake. To those blaming God for Nepal or other global disasters its not really your fault. Most folks feel that our educational system is poor. If you know secondary school science, you will know what NATURAL disasters are. While you are at it, blame God for: 1) Baltimore riots 2) Xenophobic South African Attacks 3) War in Yemen 4) Drug smugglers executed in Indonesia 5) Hey how about Boko Haram 6) or Global warming 7) How about petrol scarcity or subsidy - ASUU strike? (Feel free to add more) My advice, Get wisdom. "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." - Proverb:4:7 |

Here is my take on tithing and generally the things of God. DO NOT do things out of compulsion. We do things out of love. "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." - 2 Corinthians9:7Malachi clearly states be benefits of tithing but most folks always find a scripture to justify NOT tithing. God doesn't need your money. He gave it to you anyway. If you DONT want to give tithes please DONT. The work of God will move on with or without it. Infact, the tithing is for you. For God to bless you accoring to Malachi. "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." - Malachi 3:10Most times I blame some Preachers who try to FORCE people into giving. But these people have bibles to study for themselves. If you go through some Church records on tithing, you will see that only about 5% of the congregation tithe. Even some Pastors themselve dont tithe but that is not an excuse for you. It is for them and God. Finally Apostle James said: "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." - James:4:17 |
^^In addition: Heaven especially in the Old testament is referred to as: The Sky: "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." - Genesis 7:11 Outer Space: "And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be." - Genesis 15:5 |

shahydbinaliyu:You were making a point until here (in BOLD above). So Prophet Muhammed was a SPIRIT and he had wives and children? |
ask yourself how come a caring father loving father will sacrifice his only son for the sins of those who rejected his messages.Do you play chess? Interesting game. In chess, there is a move where you sacrifice your Queen (the most powerful player) to win the game. Its a strategic, sacrificial and often confusing move. A move chess players probably copied from GOD. From the Bible there are many scriptures to explain it but this will suffice: "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philipians 2:8-11 God accepted all Jesus supplications. He prayed against the death of crucifixion and God granted his prayers. Moreover the bible says whosoever died on the Cross is an accursed one.are you calling Jesus accursed one?Yes and this is why: "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" - Galatians 3:13 Read the whole chapterof Galatian 3 for a clearer picture from Apostle Paul. please just reason deeply before you reply. I ll learn from you."But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." - John 14:26 If you really want to learn, the Holy Spirit is the ultimate, unbiased teacher. |
^^^ There is a thin line between smart and dull (you are crossing it gradually). which version of the bible did Jesus recommend.Well, Ask Jesus. If you don't know where He is? 1) Ask any Pastor around. 2) Perhaps you can start by searching His grave site in Israel. (let me guess. Nameless scientist have prooved that the grave doesn't exist?) if truly Christianity comes after the death of Jesus then Christianity can defined as "the religion of those that warship the death man on the cross""But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." - Matthew 22:31-32 Adam was called the son of God David was called the son of God psalm 2:7 Luke 3:36.but john 3:16 said ...and he gave his "only" son...definitely they have corrupt the bible for materialism and egotism.You quoted Psalm 2:7 but did you read from verse 1? King David was talking of your kind: "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision." - Psalms 2:1-4 |
shahydbinaliyu:Several times Jesus would ask those asking him many questions just ONE question which they will ALWAYS be unable to answer. I just tried it on you and it worked. More reasons I love Jesus ways... very simple. |
Bakrabas:Your post is too long and irrelevant. Did you read my post or just glossed over it. Kindly consult a dictionary if you don't know the difference between BEGOTTEN and ADOPTED son. I am NOT an english teacher. |
shahydbinaliyu: |
Simple Question: Jesus is his only BEGOTTEN son: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 We are ADOPTED sons and joint heirs: "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." - Romans 8:14 "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." - Romans 8:16-17 You can read the entire Romans 8 for more info |
"Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven." - Matthew 22:29 - 30 If you start reading from vs 23 you will know why Jesus made that statement. |
Is that the picture of YOU and YOUR god girlfriend that created the universe or some poor soul you googled up his pic? |

shahydbinaliyu:Refering to letters in BOLD: When the Jews give tithes, who is the Prophet and who was the King? |
As usual when points cannot be made, issues of ENGLISH language and TRANSLATIONS become the issue. I will only address the issue of Abraham (bolded in your comment below). Tithes are given to GOD via a prophet. Tithes are NOT given to the Church. This is a wrong mindset of even some Christians today. Even the Jews did not give tithes to the Synagogue. As in the old days, they are given to GOD via a prophet (or Pastors as they are called today). The King of Salem (Jerusalem) was a Prophet of God as shown in Hebrew 5. PS: Hopefully you will not use your English tactic to tell me that Pastors are NOT mentioned in Old Testament. shahydbinaliyu: |
johnydon22:While I understand the Sarcasms in your post it shows how MYOPIC your thinking is. It this how theories are proposed in scientific or religious fields? No one needs to disprove your theory of creation, all you have to do is publish it in a book or journal and distribute globally as many copies as the Bible. Then we will take you seriously but until then stop being a RELIGIOUS BIGOT. It is NOT a character consistent with Atheist. You probably are a CHRISTIAN fallout (not an Atheist). Well, so as most NL "Atheist" anyways. |
wiegraf:There are MANY seeminly mean portions of the Bible. However, in you own HYPOCRITICAL analysis, you deem it right to pick out ONLY the bad portions of the bible. How about the good portions like the Good Samaritan, the Book of Esther, Proverbs or beautiful love songs and poems in Songs of Solomon? This is my problem with so called Atheist on NL. You are basically RELIGIOUS FALLOUTS who probably belonged to one faith or the other but was frustrated out. The anger and frustration is always obvious in your post. I wonder how one can live with such anger? |
Though I know these will NOT make you a Christian, but I replied for others to read.It was Jesus' custom to go to Church "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read." - Luke:4:16 Jesus (as the Christ) was NOT a priest so he could NOT collect tithes. However, when HE met Abraham in Genesis, Abraham gave him a tithe of the war bounty. "For this Melchisedec, king of Salem (Jerusalem), priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;" - Hebrew 7:1-2 [see also Gen 14:18 - 20] Jesus read the Bible "And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias (Isaiah 61:1-2). And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him." - Luke 4:16-20 About how Jesus Worshiped God. The fact that it was his CUSTOM to go to Church regularly kinda answers this. He was a Jew. The Jews worshipped God. I dont think he went to church (synagogue) regularly to PLAY. This passage may help: "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." - John 4:23-24 |
ALKARULEZZ:Jesus said: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" - Matthew 18:20 Paul also said "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." - Heb:10:25 Don't misquote Paul. He was just saying IRON sharpens IRON (in bold above). So you and your friend = ASSEMBLY |
To answer you, its because it takes time and brain power. A lot of folks dont like to think. Thinking is hard work thats why they easily get deceived by false prophets. Great men always make time to meditate on God's word. Examples below: MEDITATION is not a spiritual thing. It is physical. Definition - Think deeply or focus one's mind for a period of time, in silence or with the aid of chanting, for religious or spiritual purposes or as a method of relaxation. - from Google. "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." - Joshua 1:8 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night." - Psalm 1:1-2 "Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word." - Psalms:119:148 "Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all." - 1 Timothy 4:13-15 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, meditate on these things." - Philipians 4:8 |
johnydon22:refering to letters IN BOLD This is what most religions CLAIM to propagate. Eventually like everything given to MAN (refering to Earth), it gets polluted. Blind fanatics / freaks arise with twisted minds and do the exact opposite. |
Yes, most churches are NOT youth friendly. How many youths have approached the leadership to explain or discuss things? Running away will not solve the issue. For change to occur, someone has to initiate it. It certianly will NOT be the OLDER folks. |
OP, stop lifting your Pastor's messages (both right and wrong). Study the life of Jesus who is our perfect example. Prayer is COMMUNICATION with GOD. So how can a Christian not commune with the FATHER and have Power? Even Jesus left his disciples MANY times to pray (Matt 14:23). Paul said, "I thank God I speak in tongues more than you all." (1 Cor 14:18). What do you think speaking in tongues is? Is it not prayers? Prayers help you recharge your spiritual batteries. That is POWER+ Dont get it twisted, A PRAYERLESS CHRISTIAN IS A GODLESS CHRISTIAN (thus Powerless and probably useless) |

Mark my words "NOTHING will happen to that woman". You should know that the NNPC has a management team. If she goes down, they will all go with her. Some of those managers were put by our past leaders like OBJ, IBB, ATIKU etc. No one is going to jail without evidence. This is democracy, not the military era. It will be like FAROUK LAWAN and OTEDOLA bribe issue or like the misterious BOKO HARAM sponsors? Now regarding her private life, I care less. There are poorer families that have domestic issue in this land. If a man and his wife quarrel, its no biggy. Even beggars quarrel with their family. PS: The info souce is questionable. |

As of today, this is impossible for 2 reasons + 1: 1) Different android device have different specs. Eg Techno RAM and Samsung RAM are different thought they both run Android 4.0 and above 2) Where is the IOS 8 installer? 3) IOS is the most caged OS in the world. I will believe a WINDOWS/ANDROID dual booth than IOS. This should be a 1st of April JOKE. Nice try. |
Exactly my thoughts. What is the celebration for? ![]()
