All4good:
My challenge is with weak Christians who leave studying of God's word (The Bible) to their Pastors and sink or float with his interpretation. They forget that ignorance of the Law is NOT an Excuse for Sin. So also "My Pastor did not tell me that" is NOT an Excuse for Sin.

Most of us have been brain washed for so many years with verses quoted of context especially malachi 3:10. But a little study brings out Deuteronomy 14: 22-29 and Deuteronomy 12: 11-28. Tell your pastor you will pay your Tithe unfailingly but not to him/her. Tell your pastor you will pay your Tithe as God stipulated in Deuteronomy 14:22-29

I suggest you read this book http:///TithePB
It is written in a Question & Answer format and it answers lots of questions on Tithe, Offering, First fruits and Vows.

There is no gain in saying that the current structure of most churches for the collection of Tithe & Offering and "Church Planting" rather than Evangelism, Crusades and Missions has brought many pastors(Not All) to eternal condemnation.

There are no what ifs.

The law is clear.

When we want to indulge in criminality we look for all excuses which are condemnable anywhere else in the world.

A judge is not allowed to run any other business besides his judicial calling.

Having sums way above his total remuneration from his day of employment to this present moment suggests a transgression of his terms of employment and he must at the very least resign his appointment.

In another news



A judge has over N500m in his account WITHOUT any other known business, a trial judge said it is NOT an evidence of corruption!

11 Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a CHANGE OF THE LAW 13 For He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has officiated at the altar.

18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for THE LAW made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh THE LAW AND ITS COMMANDS AND REGULATIONS. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace

19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. 20 A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.

21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. 22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
Children of God

23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So THE LAW was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that THIS FAITH has come, we are NO LONGER under a guardian.

Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.

5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep THE LAW OF MOSES.”

6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”

Lair. can you show me were i insulted you.

MuttleyLaff:
Paul has always being true to the gospel and his calling

What you perceive to be ''some slight confusion made by Paul'' actually is what's known as the ''There's more than one way to skin a cat'' method
Moreover, no one skins a fish before it is caught and reeled in to boat or fish-net
That in two sentences are the reason behind Paul's methodology or style

And for the sake of those wondering over above italic quote
It is from 1 Corinthians 9:19-23

²⁰When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ.
When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law.
Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law.
²¹When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law, I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ.
But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ
- 1 Corinthians 9:20-21

1 Corinthians 9:20-21 above was put out twice on page 7 of this thread, but it obviously went over heads

All fingers are not same in length of understanding, but when they bend, all stand equal
The truth is believers' life becomes very easy when we bend and adjust to each other's current level of understanding

Everyone from Goshen360, GodsMopol, ayoku777, petra1, Ubenedictus, openmine including moi, who empathised with OP and bent
did not have their bending posture reciprocated
What they got in return was disdain, pontification and reading dogmatic & embarrassing long posts

CatfishBilly:
Wow. God is not an author of confusion you say, but see how confused you lot are.
It's one freaking book. Can't you guys just agree on an interpretation?
No wonder there are a thousand and one denominations.
The Holy Spirit was meant to explain the deeper secrets of the scriptures to believers, he/she/it can't tell someone one thing and tell the other person another, from the same book and source, that's just confusing.
This is embarrassing, really.
Do you guys need another Council of Nicea to sort things out or something?

19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Ubenedictus:
Wow see fight.

I no go add myself to this one.

MuttleyLaff:
Impertinence is an ugly trait.
Keep up the ''good'' work, hope MZLady39 can see all you've lately been up to

Pardon me, your over fed ego must have mistaken me for someone who gives a damn if you give back responses

You must be suffering from poor judgment for arriving at that conclusion like that

You're nothing than a miseducated ''self-proclaimed teacher'' and an expert in foolishness
who ''teaches'' foolishness and hoped to make sense from it..

Nurse! Nurse!!

What am I doing?
Calling for a nurse only, is not enough for you, when what you actually need is a horde of psys and a good padded room

Splinz:
Oga, shove your hypocritical counsel up your arse! Just like that fool that saw only my uncouth words, who calls himself MuttleyLaff, did you also saw only Splinz "hard words and abuses"?

While that blind bat called MuttleyLaff so much need me to stay relevant, kindly advice him to stop boring me with his ignorance riddled mentions. It is for this obvious reasons that I've been ignoring his unintelligent and clownish tags. Poor thing, he has been waiting for so long to have me dignified him with a response, and now I can imagine his joy.

And yes... As for that lunatic called openmine... Anyway, I've already shown him where he belongs--mental asylum.

PS: I can easily differentiate between a learner and a scoffer who only seeks to shine the teeth. The pitiable tactic adopted by these two clowns is to throw tantrum when confronted with superior arguments, believing when mockery is employed, it somehow makes them look right, not knowing it only further portrays their follies. SMH

blueAgent:
Am done with you. it is obvious your IQ does not have the capacity to differentiate between your left and your right.like Splinz said it is of no use talking to someone who lacks reasoning capacity
