Acidosis: Tithe is an English word. It means 10% of your income. That's the least a true Christian should give.
Neither Jesus not the Apostles taught tithe-giving. It was a necessity forced on the Church when congregational church system became the norm since Constantine made Christianity a State Religion.
Tithe was a mandatory practice for Jews ONLY under the Old Testament.
I just packed into a new house last month and things have been moving really fast for me. So much stress and I had spent a lot of money furnishing my apartment and moving stuffs. So, two weeks ago my neighbour came to my house to greet me(as new neigbour things) I was very excited because she was beautiful and around my age bracket. I told her to come in, this was around 11:00 am i offered her a drink and we were talking about so many things.
I found out she was just my type of girl quiet and intelligent. We talked about the previous tenants and she told me my house was fine. I was happy, I said finally all the stress from packing was worth it. She left by 6:45 pm that day. The next day, I saw her spreading clothes outside so I approached her, we greeted and she asked me if I've eaten. I said no so she said she cooked spaghetti and she would bring for me. She arrived with the food, I thought to myself this must be a wife material o. We were both eating till she said let her feed me. Like play like play I'd feed her and she'd feed me. Before I said Jack Robinson we were already kissing and smooching.
I wasn't with my condom and I wasn't prepared but I felt this girl was a nice and innocent girl. She probably just likes me. So I gently removed her clothes like a gentle man and we had sex. I swore to myself I won't release early or get tired so at least she would feel me and come back for more. We enjoyed ourselves, we were happy and I know she enjoyed it as well, she held my hand and we were stack naked gisting for about 20 minutes staring at each others eyes.
So eventually she went home.
After three days, I went to ease myself only to see white pus from my penis that morning. I was so surprised. My heart started beating and I rushed to my phone I googled it and I got things like UTI, gonorrhea, staph, HIV. I was really scared. I called her, she came and she was normal. I didn't tell her about it. I just wanted to find out if she purposely gave it to me but she seemed like she didn't know. I travelled home to see my mum. I went for test spent about 3k for urethral swab, blood test and urine analysis.
It came back positive for Staphylococcus. I was so annoyed at myself for not using a condom the same time relieved that it was negative for HIV. I spent a total of 9k on drugs and injection and I came back home. Mind you, I bought two packs of condom in case.
I like this girl and she likes me but I wasted one week treating the staph without telling her and if I tell her now she would see me as a bad person and I don't know how she would react if I tell her she gave it to me. I'm really confused because I don't want to lose the relationship. My mind is telling me not to tell her and continue using condom( she's very sweet) but I love her and I don't want it to be harmful to her but she may decide not to give me sex again. I'm worried.
Please for matured minds okay. Its really important, life is at stake. Thanks.
Sorry, but there's nothing like 'staphylococcus' sexually transmitted disease.
Acidosis: Funny thing is the same year I decided to stay faithful to my tithing was the same year I saved more.
The principle of giving is simple: Give and it will come back to you in good measures. Who you give doesn't matter. However it is plain stup!d to assume that giving to a Church will leave one broke. How can you give in the name of God (it doesn't matter whether Pastor is a yahoo boy), and go broke?
This freeze of a guy is highly ignorant and stup!d o Real givers don't care what you do with their money. They just give and remain blessed. Na your wahala if you decide to play nairabet with the money.
When you have CORRECT answers to the above, then you can know whether it was ok for a Christian to marry a non-Christian and for her to be disciplined.
geosegun: Falana is making lots of sense here...thats why the Yourubas will always be far ahead. They are always very objective in their actions and not based on sentiment and greed.
These comments above by youths who should be protesting are worrying. This depicts a typical example of Nigerian...youth problem. We dont think ahead. We are only concerned about what we consume and immediate pleasure (Man shall not live by bread alone).
Morrocco has everything to gain in this marriage of convenience...West Africa' especially Nigeria has everything to loose and it is Nigeria that can lead to say NO...due to her influence within west African states. These youths looking for pleasure will be the first to start castigating.. wailing and causing their leaders when Morrocco joins and they realized that they are the all time loosers....this will show when they start to loose thier jobs and bussinesses due to companies moving to morrocco because it is more bussiness and pleasure conducive with excellent power stability and security.
Very myopic set of youth we have these days. Falana is doing what the youths should be doing...protesting against indecision on ECOWAS part. The leaders know the truth but kind of afraid to say NO.
Not a single West African State went against this plan? Including the so called giant of Africa. Oh that's why I love Britain...They would have acted against this immediately, if this was to happen in their region. Why do you think Brexit happen
Bunch of pleasure seekers selling their advantages for a bowl of porridge (a week holiday)...Children of Esau....Shior
The bigger picture is beyond economic but politico-religious. Part of the Islamic global agenda in West Africa seizing the opportunity of extremely corrupt leadership, weak economies, mass poverty, ignorance, disillusionment and delusion.
TrueThinker: Nigerian Catholic Devotees of the Virgin Mary witnessed yet another Awe Inspiring Miracle Of The Sun. The event which happened yesterday 28th Oct 2017 at the National Stadium in Lagos , saw thousands of Christian Devotees of the Virgin Mary in attendance.Event was held to conclude the Lagos Diocesan Commemoration of The 1917 Apparition of The Virgin Mary in Fatima which rounded 100years this year. Just like the one that happened in Benin Nigeria on 13th October , 15 days ago, the sun was seen shifting orientation, enlarging and diminishing its rays. People could freely look at it because it could no longer hurt the eyes. IMMACULATABLOG caught a mobile phone video of this event as shown i the video link below:
In the video, one could hear the exclamation of one of the attendants who was actually seeing the Virgin Mary within the miracle. Notice the natural background noise and exclamations,coupled with the movement of a bird around the visual.
One observer who called himself 'a former doubting Thomas' told IMMACULATABLOG that the reason he believed this miracle was that when the sun changed colours, enlarged or shrank its rays, all other objects around the visual remained normal colour and size and were not enlarging or shrinking with the sun. According to him, only the sun was doing its own thing at the impulse of the Virgin Mary. For the many times the sun's rays enlarged and shrank with changing colours, the witnesses were left in no doubt as to whether a solar miracle had occurred.
Jesus died, rose and ascended... he sent his apostles and gave them the holy spirit, they became leaders of the early Church... this church has power to teach to bind to lose etc, where ever the apostles preached they appointed presbyter and bishops and entrust both their teaching and authority to them.
by the year 100AD all the apostles were dead... nobody had a complete new testament but the Church continued... even in 200AD and 300AD because teaching authority had always been in the Church... finally in the 3rd and 4th century the church decided to set the canon of the new testament. then we began to have the Bible... this church continued till this day. in 40AD it was called the way, by 70AD her members were called Christians by 110AD it was called the Catholic Church...it is still called the Catholic Church today.
Thank you for the Catholic Church fraudulent version.
The truth is that the Church of Jesus Christ (not the Catholic Church) was founded at Pentecost. It continued and thrived under severe persecution until Emperor Constantine purportedly saw a vision of the 'cross' and was told he would win the war he was losing with that 'cross' . He won the war and because the cross is associated with Christ he made Christianity a State Religion hijacking authentic flow of Church history replacing it with satanic hybrid of idolatry and Christianity called the Catholic Church.
The true Church went underground and remained so for centuries in Europe until Luther and many others rose in the power of the Holy Spirit to turn humanity back to the Bible forbidden by the Romish Church for commons to read.
WHO gave the Bible? God used men to do so. Some of these men indeed had hidden agenda to corrupt it and add books not approved by the Holy Spirit but loved by the Catholic Church because they approve many of their false doctrines, beliefs and idolatrous practices but they largely failed.
In these last days your Church will play major roles to deceive her members and the world to accept the false Christ. But JESUS will preserve His own.
The Church began at Pentecost. All the books preceded compilation by anybody or group or institution. When did the Catholic Church start? Please answer that.
HeWrites: A Nigerian man who is based in South-Africa, Chukwudi Mike Nwanayoeze, has taken to Facebook to advised ladies to look attractive because its the only way their men won’t cheat on them.
All the old and new testament books preceded Constantine and your monks. Men gathered indeed what were already available but God had His way in the final selection even when some men thought they were implementing hidden agenda.
Thank God for the Holy Spirit.
ladman: Different catholic theologians and monks found aramaic and greek texts which they translated into latin texts. Most of the bible today are results of these translations.
By the way, the new testament you hold so dearly draw lots of inspiration from the old testament.
PDPGuy: California Governor Jerry Brown signed first-of-its kind legislation over the weekend that enables residents of the state to choose a third, non-binary gender category on California state-issued IDs, birth certificates and driver’s licenses.
The Gender Recognition Act, or Senate Bill 179, also reportedly makes the process of an individual changing their gender on legal documents easier by no longer requiring a statement from a physican declaring that they’ve undergone “clinical treatment.”
“As the LGBT community — but especially the trans community — is under assault in this country, California needs to go in the opposite direction and embrace the trans community and support the trans community and modernize these laws,” State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who co-sponsored the bill alongside Sen. Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), said in a statement.
While Oregon and Washington D.C. have undergone steps to make it easier for citizens to legally identify as non-binary, California is the first to enshrine a third gender category into law.
Brown also signed legislation this weekend that enables transgender people to change their name while incarcerated, which proponents say will help them get a leg up faster once they leave prison.
A number of other countries already have or are in the process of passing legislation that allows citizens to legally identify outside of the gender binary, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, U.K, Pakistan and Nepal.
Any individual or group claiming to be 'Christian' but not according to the New Testament is fake whether they call themselves Catholic, Evangelical, Pentecostal, Syncretic, etc
UAE123: It beat my imaginations to see Pentecostal Churches saying that the members of the Catholic Church worship Mary when the word of the Holy Rosary are clearly stated in the bible & most of these Pentecostal members criticizing the Catholic about these days are evening worshipping their Pastors & honoring these Pastors more than their husbands. Some presently even wear the statues of their Pastors on their neck 24 hours a day believing it will always protect them.
Your lies will fail you when the Word in the Bible becomes your judge on that day.
CuteMadridista: No doctrine is biblical because "The bible" begs the question - which bible? There are many diverse and different, confused and internally contradictory editions of the bible that can be traced back as being written by men from the 4th century onward. The oldest bible "Codex Sinaiticus" was written by a team of four men in the late 4th century and is significantly different to those we know today.
Secondly, the Bible is the world's longest-running, most widely respected, and least reliable Rorschach Test. You can look in it and see anything you want to see, find anything you want to find, justify any pre-ordained conclusion you prefer, or validate any prejudice — because the Bible has it all: love, hate; revenge, redemption; war, peace; slavery, freedom; humility, arrogance; kindness, cruelty; etc
so yeah, nobody is following the bible, its actually impossible due to several contradictory things there
EsumareImisiiye: Just no go learn or sign agreement with dictatorial erdogan on how to strengthen the presidential power more at the detriment of different regions in Nigeria..we are different . And be sure We are going to resist any strategy of islamilizing Nigeria like erdogan turned a secular country to an islamic country.
May the meeting be for the good of Nigeria and Nigerians. If otherwise the God of Justice will defend us. This God catches men in their own craftiness. He delivers the poor, the needy and the powerless from those who oppress them. His will ALONE will come to pass in Nigeria.
Iamlordroman: Exorcism is the act of driving off evil spirits from possessed persons and places.
Disclaimer : This piece was written strictly for the lulz and similarities to people living or dead is merely coincidental and the title of the Story is long because I was afraid the Story might get possessed otherwise.
Exorcism is 'Satan casting out Satan' to deceive the desperate and Biblically ignorant.
autojosh: The buzz is on and it won’t stop!.We are officially in the future, thanks to Elon Musk and the founding fathers before him ,but we are not completely there yet,there is still a lot of work to be done .
Truth be told,with time there would be very little arrests and a lot of freedom for car owners .
Here are some “bondages” that would be lifted off :
Freedom To Drink And Drive : I am not preaching drinking oo,but think about it ,you can drink yourself to stupor � and you don’t need to worry about being safe .
There is a lot of debate going on presently in countries that have accepted driverless cars ,whether or not the car owners should be allowed to drink and be drunk while in self-driving cars.
Overspeeding I know our Olopa does not have the facility to detect whether we are overspeeding or not,they just use their eyes to gauge it (if you see any of such device ,please inform us).But for the countries that have a full system to prevent and prosecute overspeeding drivers,driverless cars would surely eliminate such concerns with time.
Accidents Even though there were several scenarios where Tesla crashed into things ,driverless cars would get better with time and you no longer have to bother about brushing the gala seller off the road ,the car would just avoid them for you � .
Restriction For Learners So you don’t know how to drive ? or are you terrified of driving ? ,leave it to the car !
Lack Of Sleep You will not understand how exhausting it is to drive until you drivie from Lagos to the north. Driverless cars would help your condition. Just relax unrap that fufu and dig it into the egusi soup and increase the volume of that movie, then take a very long nap-Welcome to Borno � !
