SportsRe: Iheanacho Demands £200,000/Week From ManCity by openmine(m): 12:10pm On May 04, 2016
gocac:
i pity all those who thinks greed is behind his demand for a better wage......"Nigerian hardship dey affect una brains", he is playing for money....likewise messi and ronaldo...else they should play matches free of charge for their clubs..... because you know his village, so you think no Nigerian footballer is worth 200 pounds a week. make una no make me vex oohhh!
iheanacho is an upcoming star who has d prospects of being a world class player....
wat he needs now is a club manager dat believes in his talent and encourages him to keep improving...not how much dat goes into his account every week....
d messi and ronaldo u highlighted were players who first worked on improving deir football in order 2 become an asset for d club....messi was once earning scrubs while playing regularly for barca during his tender age...now he can even ask for 1million a week and d club won't tink twice...Dats because messi has created a niche for himself in barca...
can u rate iheanacho in d same class wit d likes of messi,ronaldo?
if u were given d choice btw messi and iheanacho..
who wud u go for?
Infact its an insult 2 equate iheancho 2 messi...
even iwobi who recently broke into an arsenal team ahead of oda established players has not complained sef...smh
SportsRe: Iheanacho Demands £200,000/Week From ManCity by openmine(m): 11:53am On May 04, 2016
the main priority is more playing time in order 2 gain more experience.... instead of money,he sud focus on improving himself so dat his worth will be appreciated....by d club handlers...

cos with more money in his account will require more responsibility.....is he willing 2 match his proposed price tag with stellar performances every week for man city?

he sud not go d way of sterling who allowed his agent determine his growth in football in a club dat demands consistent performance from star players in d team....

let ur obvious talent and hardwork speak for you iheanacho....!
datsall....lol

Na wa for this life....
Why are people criticizing the state government?
Even calling him a cry baby angry angry
If he decides to become violent,people will start blaming him for not being patient...
We must be reminded that Civility is not a sign of weakness or crudity,a sign of strength...
Why do people take calmness as cowardice....
What we sud be advocating is a bill that makes policing independent of the central...
More like state policing where decisions like dese are taken without waiting for directives from abuja before acting....

So? What am I supposed to do? Stop talking to my male bestie like you called it who we prolly met before we started dating? Why should I when you might even dump my ass tomorrow? huh

Only when I'm married will I reduce communication with any male friend who's not my husband. Or when the relationship is very close to the altar.
So why not make ur Bestie ur bf...since u r so comfortable and free discussing wit ur Bestie Dan ur bf?

So which cream can do the obvious...which is to reduce growth for a while rather than the normal growth?

I'm a tither. Period. When you guys get cornered you start attacks . And calling supporters . Sit down and discuss. Shey you want truth . Don't try to scatter ground. But if you insist . I will kindly exit. Opari
I didnt get cornered and i didnt attack you....i guess u have no idea what attack means...
I dont attack,i probe grin grin grin
U said you want the truth,I dont think you want the truth...
Exit? U already exited wen u started going on a merry go round about ur beliefs...so if you want to...dats ur problem!

[quote author=Joagbaje post=44943790]Merry go round steam . Okay let's be rounding .
Am guess you want to round up...cos u r out of options..me dey full ground... cheesy

Joagbaje:
You're only being manipulative. I believe any honest person should have seen the picture . But you're obviously trying to woo sympathy of you cheered givers .
Cheer givers...did you say cheer givers?
I have none Uncle....If they are cheering me as u r alluding to...then it only means there is some fair amount of truth in my statements...
Or better still....My stance is backed up with scripture...hence they can relate with it...
Like i noticed recently,You love acting like the victim....are you sure you dont have praise singers already chanting ur name?

Joagbaje:
Ask paul. Not me . I only quoted his writings. If he says the law is holy,law is good.
Ur submission shows u have nothing to say about it...cos if you did,you wont refer me to Paul....I guess am sensing some withdrawal tacts cheesy cheesy



Joagbaje:
Really where have I spoken against bible study. You are rather the one speaking your own teaching . I asked you . Which bible did they study in the early church
Its obvious you are in a hurry to answer questions...relax and assimilate the replies before responding...You miss a lot when you are in a haste
I never said you were against bible study...
All am saying is ur likes manipulate the scriptures just to suit their selfish agenda and since most of the people in the congregation are gullible...So Its quiet easy to hoodwink dem with ur concocted "revelations"....
As for what the early Christians studied...I believe they were taught the gospel of Christ... smiley


Joagbaje:
Is paul the author . The law can't make a man righteous .you have to be righteous by faith first. Works follow .
The author of the law is God....he has set aside the first commandments....and installed a new one...Ur work is based on ur faith(what you believe in)
You can not separate the two....If your righteousness was law based,your work will be law based.

Joagbaje:
Sacrifices and offerings are principles . Paul talked about offerings and sacrifices . But you worship God without an offering. Which scripture are you reading . What is offering. It simply mean what you offer. But your new doctrine seem to have clouded the eye you ought to have used to see Even what is plain.
U just did it again grin grin
Once again ur principles without scripture backing is flawed!
Back up ur beliefs esp ur pre-law tithe beliefs!
Then we can start from there....that's if you haven't lost steam grin grin
A careful check on the new law shows that the priesthood of Jesus had nothing to offer in terms of gifts and sacrifices...(Hebrews 7:27;8:3-4)
If the priesthood had nothing to offer or sacrifices,why should i offer something?
Was offering part of the mosaic law?
If you agree that its part of the mosaic law,Then It implies offerings is outdated and can not be practiced....
If you still do,then you are still obeying or being justified by the law of moses!

Joagbaje:
If you're honest you will answer direct question. All these run run . How long will it go. Let's hit the nail on issues and move to other issues
Honesty is relative Uncle cheesy
Our definitions might differ...what you call honesty may be seen as extortion to me... smiley
I created an illustration from the bible to answer ur question...

The union of man and woman was conceived by God wen he created a eve as Adam's help mate!
And these are contained in the scripture....where the union of man and woman was ordained by God...
Hence any unnatural feelings for same s.ex is alien to him...
God created Adam and eve not godwin and adam or martha and eve...


Joagbaje:
On what ground is paul speaking . Is he a law maker ? What of the gay Christians who love God? Why is the love nature not telling them.
Paul was already aware of the natural attraction between man and woman...which has been in existence since the time of adam and eve!
But he was actually speaking against those who abandoned and left their natural desires and embraced unnatural desires(men sexually attracted to men,same as a woman sexually attracted to a woman)...
So paul was speaking on the grounds that the natural attraction (which was the very intent of God for man and woman) was being threatened..And those involved in such act should desist from it...Or God will give them over to their forbidden desires...
About gay Christians who love God?
Are you sure they are Christians...?
There is nothing like gay christians Oga grin...and besides,the love nature is not in them neither do they have the holy spirit in them...cos the holy spirit knows all things.....The love existing between gay lovers are unnatural and the feelings are based on their lustful desires....which goes against the perfect plan of God for mankind!

Joagbaje:
Have I said anything contrary?
You tell me smiley

Joagbaje:
Ask proper question and I will give proper response
Once again you have bcome evasive again...
I asked you a simple question...
Go back and locate that question...It had to do with the belief system of the romans!

Well you just did...
U just evaded the question again cheesy cheesy

Joagbaje:
You're always the pot and kettle . I can remember being rude and insultive . Beside if I talk about it, it's not because of me . It's about the quality of your spirit and state . It's part of my call to correct or admonish . All these agbero abusive thing you guys do here . I just wonder what bible you read. It's a concern in a pun
If forum . We can debate issues as gentle men. State our points . Agree or disagree . But abusive? Count me out. By bible says other wise. So don't think . Let's Abuse jo. E go pain am. When I exit such thread . It's bible wisdom.
I guess you are implying that you dont remember being rude or insulting...Please go to ur previous posts and check what you said...
If you call urself a minister of the gospel,then i pity the audience who receives such erroneous and manipulatively constructed doctrines from you...
Who are you correcting or admonishing?
A minister who cannot defend his concocted pre-law tithe beliefs ....
grin grin grin

Thank you
You are always welcome.. cool

Joagbaje:
Sure . Maybe you can tell us more
Really...and you still make these intentional errors and yet not humble enough to learn?
Disappointment is an understatement smiley

How?
I gave you scriptures...How is it un-scriptural...?
was my explanation without scriptures?

Joagbaje:
If you want to discuss pastors fine. Name your church , name your pastor . Outline your doctrine ,let's discuss them .but be civilic.
Why should i?
I tot you said the discus sud be between us and must not involve pastors?
Or have you forgotten what you said,"leave Pastor chris out of this...let the discus be Jo and the bible" cheesy cheesy

Joagbaje:
Until the rapture , isreal remain blind this is the times of the Gentiles .The salvation of isreal will be a national salvation

Romans 11:25-26
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
I want you to understand this secret truth, brothers and sisters. This truth will help you understand that you don’t know everything. The truth is this: Part of Israel has been made stubborn, but that will change when enough non-Jewish people have come to God. 26 And that is how all Israel will be saved. The Scriptures say,

“The Savior will come from Zion;
he will take away all evil from the family of Jacob.
Not all of isreal oga...only part of israel were affected...
And don't you think enough non- jewish people have come to God since the time of this letter to the romans?

Joagbaje:
They a Godly principles . That why paul used them for illustrations
Oga Joagbaje....please Scripture to prove that some laws have been done away with and some are still applicable...Its imperative for this thread..!

Joagbaje:
OUCH!!!!. . .
OOps sorry.. cheesy cheesy

Joagbaje:
Firstly he didn't win any Jew by trying to compromise his faith. None. He was arrested . His grace was for the Gentiles. Secondly he wasn't quoting the law for the unsaved . He was quoting the law for his church members dear. He wasn't trying to win souls . They've been won.
he was quoting the law for the unsaved...Acts 28:23
It was Paul who said so not me....1 corinthians 9:23 - 25

19 I am free. I belong to no other person, but I make myself a slave to everyone. I do this to help save as many people as I can.

20 To the [b]Jews
I became like a Jew so that I could help save Jews. I myself am not ruled by the law, but to those who are ruled by the law I became like someone who is ruled by the law. I did this to help save those who are ruled by the law.

21 To those who are without the law I became like someone who is without the law. I did this to help save those who are without the law. (But really, I am not without God’s law—I am ruled by the law of Christ.)

22 To those who are weak, I became weak so that I could help save them. I have become all things to all people. I did this so that I could save people in any way possible.

23 I do all this to make the Good News known. I do it so that I can share in the blessings of the Good News.[/b]

I didnt say so ohh...paul said so...If in doubt,Go and check it in ur bible.... grin grin

Joagbaje:
Untrue
Very true smiley

Joagbaje:
They were already Christians . Church in Rome ,church in Ephesus . Not Alhaji in Ephesus
According to the 1 corinthians 9:19 - 23 and acts 28,It was apparent that rome had not yet been saved...

23 Paul and the Jews chose a day for a meeting. On that day many more of these Jews met with Paul at his house. He spoke to them all day long, explaining God’s kingdom to them. He used the Law of Moses and the writings of the prophets to persuade them to believe in Jesus.

24 Some of the Jews believed what he said, but others did not believe.

25 They had an argument among themselves and were ready to leave. But Paul said one more thing to them: “The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet. He said,

26
‘Go to this people and tell them:
You will listen and you will hear,
but you will not understand.
You will look and you will see,
but you will not understand what you see.
27
Yes, the minds of these people are now closed.
They have ears, but they don’t listen.
They have eyes, but they refuse to see.
If their minds were not closed,
they might see with their eyes;
they might hear with their ears;
they might understand with their minds.
Then they might turn back to me and be healed.’

28 “I want you Jews to know that God has sent his salvation to the non-Jewish people. They will listen!”
Joagbaje:
Don't create stuff
Please study Acts 28....am not creating stuffs like u are alleging...u sud know better...since you are a minister of the gospel... cool
Don't be proud...there is a lot to learn...am also learning too... smiley

You don't have to be rude to checkmate . If I'm wrong I will admit . I am not you. I was against Ola in the other thread on JOSEPH prince but later I looked at it. He made some good point and I admired he was right . Has he won? I don't care . For me truth has won . But the way you go about debate and discussion it will be very difficult for you to admit wrong . Because of so much wrong attitude you display .
So far i doubt if you ever admit that you are wrong...U see urself as an embodiment of spiritual knowledge...Though its not like there is any thing wrong with that...but wen u are proud and cocky esp with ur unproven spiritual principles that lack scripture proofs...U end up feeling that you are all knowing...

Joagbaje:
Terrorist and robbers have good reasons .also that doesn't make you right. Especially when your post lack spiritual fruit in attitude and words.
Attitude? You haven't seen attitude... cheesy

Pheeew. What a thread!

Openmine, you seemed new to this arena, and I say welcome! Certain gladiators here, over the years, have been mute for several reasons, but this thread, is a replica of another that has being long dealt with, devoid of the shameless personal attacks of folks who cannot stay on topic, but show their neonate nature in biblical discussions. I welcome you to this thread, and offer you a new thread for a square discussion, of course making plainer the things joagbaje has been saying since the thread below and many more before it.

In this thread, you will be amazed at the reasoning of some folks; Highlights include

1. Tithes and offerings, Tithe is done with, so is offerings, what we take today in church is called COLLECTIONS. Let me quote one of many

What is this? What we give in worship gathering is 'contribution' NOT offerings. We don't give 'offerings' in worship gathering UNDER THE NT, such was by the law.
undecided

Someone then showed where Jesus called these givings as gifts, here was one of the replies

when Jesus made dat statement there was no christianity, only judaism, it was still OT, Christ died gave d perfect offering(his blood) and brought in NT n christianity, in christianity, we are enjoined to offer our bodies as living sacrifice n d fruit of our lips. I told u , d money we give in church are contributions, whats so dif to udastand?

2. The myriad of insults from the anti-titters

3. This epic post by one of the folks who posted few minutes ago, he said
Jesus NEVER paid tithes because he wasn't a farmer,

the same folks said Jesus was under the law, and functioned under the Mosaic laws before His death, but we now see an exception, He didn't pay tithe because He was not a farmer. undecided

Just go there, it's 31 pages, but worth the read. Forget the shifting of goal post folks are trying to do here from the topic at hand to personal jabs.

https://www.nairaland.com/1456343/tithes-offerings-eternal-principles#18401359

I await your response.
Thanks for the invitation Sir,
Hmmm quite interesting....Though i wont lie to you...am slightly a busy guy....but once am less busy,i will pay the thread a visit.... smiley smiley

[s]It wasn't relevant to your cause. Paul rather became a Jew to the Gentiles . You're shooting yourself in the foot there[/s]
grin grin
Paul's Teaching were not limited to gentiles....Shoot myself..? i dont think i brought a gun with me cheesy

Joagbaje:
[s]More shooting in the foot huh . Yet this is the law you condemn [/s] grin grin
Uncle if you don't understand the meaning of "front"...pls let me know so that i can teach u... grin grin

Joagbaje:
[s]So what is your point then. If the apostle to the gentles could be so proud to use the law why are you demonising the law then? We are all viewing the scriptures before our eyes here [/s]
You are still missing the point due to ur obvious pride and deceptive motive....
The scripture is clear unless you have suddenly developed eye problem.... cheesy
even a corresponding scripture in 1 Corinthians 9:23 is obviously made it clearer...but just like you have always done when you are cornered or have nothing more to say....You start getting emotional because you know u have been exposed for what you are a; tithe collector grin grin grin

Joagbaje:
Ask paul. Shey na our apostle .
So you have obviously ran out out steam that quick...i knew you wud display this side of you cheesy cheesy
It was only a matter of time...exercise fruit ke cheesy cheesy

Joagbaje:
The scriptures are Gods scriptures .period . It's not about order of priest .
Without a priesthood,your advocacy for the law lacks substance...


Joagbaje:
But I showed you scriptures to read for yourself . As much as you try to label me a law advocate . The principles are my point . You don't condemn spiritual principles because they are mentioned in the law. There are shadows in the law and there are practical principles . The kingdom principles . Christ
Sir joagbaje...after "principle",you will soon enter "revelations" grin grin grin
Do you carry out the procedures of the burnt offering as prescribed in the Law?
Have you been physically circumcised?
Do you Offer only unblemished animals?
Do you carry out the procedures of the guilt and sin offerings?
Do you bring meal offerings as prescribed in the Law of Moses?
Do you burn incense every day? grin grin
Do you bring two additional lambs as burnt offerings on the Sabbath?
Do you eat the Passover lamb with unleavened bread and bitter herbs on the night of the 14th of Nisan?
Until you have done dese and the rest of the 613 mosaic law...ur support for the law is weak and outdated! cheesy

Joagbaje:
Here we go round and round again. It can only rubbish the blood of christ if we seek be made righteous by them instead of faith.
It even worse...no thanks to you and ur likes who deceive and manipulate believers who no longer study their bible to find out how inconsistent ur flawed tithe principles are....

Joagbaje:
To be made right with God.
grin grin

Joagbaje:
It's a foundation for right and wrong . Kingdom principles are there . And you have to know what is done away and what is still applicable .
How can a law have a foundation for wrong and right when the author of the law said it was weak and useless...
How can an outdated law still be applicable....to believers...? cheesy cheesy
Come ohh...which scriptures are you studying where "some" laws were set aside and "others"(which are applicable to you as tithe advocate) was left unfulfilled..?
Am yet to get that scripture from you after asking several times.... grin grin...provide scriptures on it or forever remain quiet with ur flawed and manipulative doctrines! tongue

Joagbaje:
Let's take gay marriage for example . Is right or wrong ?
Ephesians 5:22-26
Wives, submit to your own[b] husbands[/b] as to the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of the body. Now as the church submits to Christ, so wives are to submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her to make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word.
From the scriptures above,did you see wives submit to your wives ?
Or did you see where it was written that husbands respect your husbands ? grin grin grin
Hope you are okay? grin grin

Where were you wen God was describing such acts in Romans 1:26-27

This is why God delivered them over to degrading passions. For even their females exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. The males in the same way also left natural relations with females and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Males committed shameless acts with males and received in their own persons the appropriate penalty of their error.


Joagbaje:
Kindly give a definition
the action of declaring or making righteous in the sight of God.

Joagbaje:
For man .
The man must be a Believer or not...Or is he a ghost?
Answer the question and stop been evasive grin grin

Joagbaje:
I won't do that
Well you just did...
U just evaded the question again cheesy cheesy

Joagbaje:
Yet you can rude and speak guile and the nature in you does not address it cool grin
See who is forming victim...
A pot calling a kettle black....Always the victim grin grin

Joagbaje:
How come the nature in the believers in Ephesus couldn't address them and Paul had to use the law as reference .

What of the Roman church ? He couldn't use the new nature and the holyghost to teach them about

Romans 12:19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.


How come it's only you who doesn't need word of exhortation?
Your itching ear or eyes will not let you see where i carefully explained to you...
Did you fully understand the message of grace the very first time you became born again?
I have explained and explained and explained with scriptures about the reasons why he used the mosaic law to teach them....If you cant see it then your case is irredeemable... cheesy

Joagbaje:
Deal with jo and the bible
Who is Jo? grin grin
I don't know who is Jo....
Are you denying ur mentor?

Joagbaje:
The salvation of isreal is for a whole nation and its futuristic after tribulation. Israel is still blinded .
Has Christ been made the high priest?
Has the new covenant being set in place?
If ur answers are yes....then read ur statement again and make the required adjustments...
Is Israel still blind? grin grin

Joagbaje:
Have I said otherwise ?
Yes you have...and its preposterous to think a minister of the gospel will erroneously say some laws are still applicable...Amazing shocked grin grin

Joagbaje:
The problem was man . It was man that lack the ability to do the law.
We all know that man was the problem...
but we also know the laws didn't bring God closer to his people....
We also know the law made nothing perfect..hence another law was established..
We know the new law enables Jesus,the high priest,to intercede on our behalf after offering him self once for all as an atoning sacrifice

Joagbaje:
In that case we don't even need a bible grin nor exhortation nor a pastor . grin you see am?
Even in ur ignorance u still remain cocky... grin grin
We need have gud ministers of the gospel with the true exhortations but not ur likes...who perpetuate the scriptures for their selfish gain...
With ur kind of teachings,i unfortunately see more believers becoming atheists or convert to Islam no thanks to the deception and manipulation coming from the pulpit...

Joagbaje:
You're still shooting yourself in the foot. It's because it's the word of God . And the law reveal God standing and principle .the law is holy . It's wrong use of it that may be wrong

Romans 7:14
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
You were so eager to quickly answer and you ignorantly forgot you were the one who made the statement @ the bolded above grin grin
U are now confused to the extent that you reject your own very words.. grin grin


Joagbaje:
I don't get you . Kindly explain
grin grin grin grin grin grin
That was in response to this...

That's my point. They were not under Jewish law. The only reason paul will quote the Jewish law for them is because . That's the scripture . It's found
but u thought i was the one who said it grin grin....Sir go and drink water...you must be dehydrated grin grin grin
Ur own manipulations are choking u.. grin grin

Joagbaje:
He didn't become a gentile . He rather became a Jew to reach the gentile . It's conflict . It doesn't add up. He can't quote the law he
condemned according to you
"For the sake of the gospel".....chai grin grin
Or do u want me to explain that for you...You still wont understand....because ur mind has been programmed that way grin grin grin

Joagbaje:
That's your application. To the Jew I understand but Gentiles ? Forget it. He quoted the law because it's Gods word.
Its not my application...its the word of God written in plain and simple english...
....whats so hard that you still don't understand what he did in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 ?
Were the newly converted Christians not advised by the apostles and elders to abide by some of the mosaic laws due to pressures from some of the Pharisees to observe circumcision and other laws of Moses? (Acts 15:1-5)


Joagbaje:
Then if that's the case ,a lady can sleep with a man to bring him to church abi cool
Thats why what paul did was unique....though flawed...but he won souls for Christ!
The mandate given to paul ministry by God was different.
For the sake of the gospel,he wanted to win souls for christ...
So he ventured into unfriendly countries where Judaism was dominant!
We can as well conclude that paul had to blend into his environment to ensure the message was preached!

Joagbaje:
You're wrong sir . There will always be babes in the body of christ . People converted daily .
Will the forever remain babes?
The answer is no...unless their purpose of being born again was due to selfish motives...

Joagbaje:
You don't have to be rude. The love nature you claim leads you has what is called coutessy . We are not agbero
Why do u always play the victim wen u have been checkmated...
See who is talking....?
You keep ignoring the scriptures i quoted only to ask me several times over to show you the scriptures again....
It will sound as if am wasting my time...

The love nature inside of me enables me to keep writing and destroying dose deceptive pillars that you and other disappointing ministers of the gospel have used to chain the belief system of believers....
I want people to look back at this thread in 5 or 6 years to come as a guide or reference 2 evaluate what ever they are practicing...


Joagbaje:
If you can't post it here for us to read or at least type it out kindly forget it.
I have posted it more than 5 times on previous posts of mine and you still ask that i post it again....what manner of man are you? grin grin grin
At-least you wont say you don't have a bible....
Or U don't see it as some thing u sud give importance to?


I made an illustration...
Just to buttress my point where Paul said, "I have become ALL THINGS to ALL PEOPLE, so that I may by EVERY POSSIBLE MEANS SAVE SOME."
I may not use a stripper example....but am reading meanings into Paul's admission....he was willing to do what ever it took to ensure the gospel was preached...Thats just what his thoughts were...so don't blame him for such "actions" and don't blame me for understanding his plight smiley smiley


The church i attend only offers free-will collections....
Which is not mandatory or imposed...
Giving for a project or cause is based on the leading of your spirit...so one in church is subjecting anyone to either give a particular amount or impose it on anyone to give...
So maybe the assembly you attend may coercing and manipulative....different stokes for different folks smiley smiley


Uncle the difference is that my mine has scripture backing...urs is based on ur "revelation" whether true or false..


Did you intentionally omit "tithes" and replaced it with "instructed offering" from ur list of giving? grin grin



I disagree....it was not an instruction...it was a word of encouragement to the Corinthians which was based on wat they had and not what dey did not have....
Please go back and study 2 Corinthians 8 and study it slowly....
Why did you ignore this? grin grin

Hehehehehe....touche!
I no lie...those guy's words made me laugh so hard.... cheesy cheesy
But on a serious note,he is right....
Christianity EtcRe: Eat Your Tithe Before The Lord by openmine(m): 10:34am On Apr 22, 2016
Joagbaje:
Oh so What do you say to these ?

2 Corinthians 9:6
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

Galatians 6:7-8
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.


Maybe paul has become a manipulator here or talking to babes according to you.
Uncle Just as much as i want to validate the sowing and reaping principle,we must understand that until you have decided in "ur heart to give without compulsion or hesitation" ,Your giving seizes to be giving....
Sowing sparingly or bountifully is dependent on the giver...and based on what he has and not what he does not have....
Why did you leave out 7 and the rest of the scriptures...?
Read through the entire chapter 9 to understand the "grace behind giving" ....
So how does you scriptures make paul look like a manipulator?

Joagbaje:
My question was simple . Let me make is clearer . What scripture were they studying in the early church. Was it Old Testament or New Testament ?
Based on the letters to the gentiles,their study was based on their level of understanding...some of paul's different letters indicated some had a different level of understanding....
For instance,in paul's letter to the Romans,he appeared to uphold the law of Moses but vehemently condemned the same law in his letter to the galatians
Every letter from Paul to the gentiles or Jews was as a result of their level of understanding and faith....!


Joagbaje:
He told Timothy to pay attention to reading and also told him to study. My question was . What scripture was he to read ?
grin grin grin grin
certainly not the mosaic law....And most of what timothy knew and studied was purely based on Paul's teachings...
Thats why i needed the scripture from you...where was it stated that timothy was studying the "law and prophets"
Abi na you don become timothy PRO? grin grin grin grin

Joagbaje:
That's where knowledge of scriptures comes in. To know what christ has fulfilled and what principles still applicable .
Don't complicate ur already battered stance....You said the pre-law practices including tithes,circumcision and burnt offerings were spiritual principles....
So If Christ finished work on the cross had put an end(fulfilled) to those practices,why do you single out "tithe" as the only pre-law practice that wasn't fulfilled...? grin grin grin
You see where ur deceit has been ruthlessly exposed...So burnt offerings were fulfilled,same as circumcision but tithes refused to be fulfilled and decided to disobey Christ and stay behind as an "unfulfilled practice" according to you grin grin grin grin grin
Once again Uncle which scripture declared tithe as an unfulfilled practice in the pre-law?

Joagbaje:
Oh sure the principle still applicable . Because it's kingdom principle . Offerings ,sacrifices ,tithes will always be kingdom principles

Philippians 4:18
But I have all things, and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.

Hebrews 13:15
Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.

Romans 15:16
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
These scriptures have absolutely nothing to do with "burnt offerings" or "physical circumcision".........
Am talking about "burnt offerings" not sacrifice of praise to God....
Have you been physically circumcised?
Your "wayo" ploy no get brake grin grin grin grin

Joagbaje:
It's my choice what I use it for .
In other words,ur pre-law tithe is fraudulent.... cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy
Christianity EtcRe: Eat Your Tithe Before The Lord by openmine(m):
Joagbaje:
The law is the law of God . It's a foundation of rightness and wrong. What is condemned is that we are not justified by obedience to it . We are justified by faith . But the law is foundation of what is right and what is wrong. It reveals Gods mind. Roman 7:7 is clear enough

Romans 7:7
What then do we conclude? Is the Law identical with sin? Certainly not! Nevertheless, if it had not been for the Law, I should not have recognized sin or have known its meaning. [For instance] I would not have known about covetousness [would have had no consciousness of sin or sense of guilt] if the Law had not [repeatedly] said, You shall not covet and have an evil desire [for one thing and another].


Can't you see it here ? The only reason Paul would quote the law was simply because of the principle there . The law is not evil . But it is wrong to feel or seek to be made righteous by just obeying it.

Romans 3:31
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
smiley smiley smiley smiley
We can afford to go round and round about this...and i wont get tired cheesy cheesy....i only pity those who view our posts cos they are going to be in for a long ride.... grin grin

Now to the over-flogged issue at hand....I have actually provided you with detailed scriptures as to why Paul had to uphold the "law of moses"...
Which you have not stopped quoting in Romans 7:7...

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 shows that his intentions were to use the law of Moses as a front to lead people to christ...
This intent was made clearer in Acts 28:23 where he convinced the Roman audience about Christ using the "law and the prophets"
This proves why he was in support of the mosaic law when he spoke to the roman audience but vehemently spoke against it in his letter to the Galatians...

And i have also proven to you with scriptures that the law has been nullified and annulled because it was outdated,weak and useless...
(Hebrews 7:18;Galatians 3:23-25;Ephesians 2:14-18)
Still wondering why u keep defending a law that God has nullified and ousted...Is it becos you have ulterior motives? cheesy
Or you need a base in the mosaic law to justify your payment of tithes? smiley

Since you are insistent on the law being in existence or relevant,who is the priest that presides over the mosaic law..?

Again if Paul stated in Romans 7:7 that he supports the law,it simply means circumcision,burnt offerings,heave offerings are still relevant to the believer...It also means Christ death was in vain...which in many ways rubbishes Paul's entire grace gospel...


Joagbaje:
It is only useles in the area of justification .as long as it's not used to be made right with God or seek salvation on its own. The righteous demand of the law is fulfilled in christ.
What to you is justification?
If the law was useless in terms of being made right with God,why are the practices still relevant according to you?
If we can not be made right by the law,it simply means its contents and practices are worthless and useless...and that's becos it can not make you right before God no matter how much you uphold it....
Its so simple to understand....
Its apparent that you are confused the word called justification....

Joagbaje:
1 Timothy 1:8
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
Nice for bringing up this scripture but its in-complete...include verse 9 and 10.. grin

8 But we know that the law is good, provided one uses it legitimately.
9 We know that the law is not meant for a righteous person, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and irreverent, for those who kill their fathers and mothers, for murderers,
10 for the sexually immoral and homosexuals, for kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching based on the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was entrusted to me.
1 Timothy 1:8-10
So i ask who was the law made for..?
Believers or unbelievers? grin grin
Verse 9 and 10 answers that for you but you intentionally ignored 9 and 10 just to front 8 to justify ur defence! smiley smiley


Joagbaje:
Give a straight answer pls. Now that the law is done away with according to you. Will you now commit murder or dishonor parents?
Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answers...
Of course Not....and its simply becos of the LOVE nature of Christ that has been imputed into me...
I can not kill because God's nature of LOVE is in me...
I can not dishonor my Parents because of the LOVE nature of God in me...
The love of God has been embedded in my mind and written in my heart..(Hebrews 8:10)
Funny enough your Oga and mentor Pastor chris oyakilome made dis same submission of mine in one of his programmes....
Which in a way makes me surprised when you ask....its either you want me to say it or u know it but prefer not to say it...



Joagbaje:
Even going by the scripture you quoted you're admitting to my point . love has fulfilled what law ?. Evil law ?..
What to you is fulfillment of the law?
Strong's Concordance

teleó: to bring to an end, complete its purpose, fulfill,accomplish
Original Word: τελέω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: teleó
Phonetic Spelling: (tel-eh'-o)
This proves that the law has served its purpose and has given way to a perfect law called LOVE..(Galatians 3:23-25)

So do you need me to explain any further how love has fulfilled the law? grin grin

Joagbaje:
The only fault of the law is not that the content is evil but lack the power of justification . It doesn't take away the fact that the law is good.
When a law lacks the power of justification,what then remains of the law?....its as good as dead and buried...stop beating a dead horse!


Joagbaje:
Even thou it's a future prophecy for the nation of isreal but by law of double reference still applicable to the church. Going by the scripture you quoted . We don't need teachers as ministry gift . God puts his new nature in us. But we still need knowledge .
Oga....there is nothing futuristic about that prophesy..
..it has already happened..
The priesthood of Jesus has been established...
The new covenant has been made...the new law has established!
God has imputed the nature of Love in our hearts and written it in our hearts...


Joagbaje:
It's simply the ability to fulfill righteous demand of the law by the power of the new nature
Wrong...Your righteousness can never be attained based on the law of moses....
New law,new content,new covenant,new priesthood,different justification...
But in ur belief in christ which is based on Love...


Joagbaje:
Love has always been there from Old Testament .

Deuteronomy 6:5
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
If indeed that particular law as you have quoted was perfect enough to enable man love God genuinely,why was there still need for another law?
God found a fault with that kind of love...which was not perfect...hence he sort for a new law..
Looking specifically at that verse,The motivation to love God with thine heart,soul and might were hinged on what the people were to receive in return and not based on genuine love based on conviction....
Ask yourself why did the lord seek another law in other to draw closer to his people?
If that "love"(being part of the mosaic law) as contained in the scripture you quoted was genuine,why did the lord tag it weak,useless and imperfect?


Joagbaje:
Why would paul be saying steal no more. Keep away from idols . Lie not.
You don't need the law to stop stealing,you don't need the law to stop lying,you don't need the law to stop idol worship...
When you Love God based on ur convictions,his very nature takes root on you....you wont be able to steal,lie or worship idols because of the love nature of God imputed in you...

That's my point. They were not under Jewish law. The only reason paul will quote the Jewish law for them is because . That's the scripture . It's foundation .

grin grin grin grin
Because of what?
You still haven't answered the question...are they out side the law or under the law?



Joagbaje:
We've done this over and over. It's not applicable . There no justified reason to mention a Jewish law to Romans . They shouldn't have known it existed Sef. But paul used it because it's the law of God . It's foundation . As much as they don't seek justification by it.
I will keep going over it again and again until it sinks into mind about what Paul's intentions were...Unfortunately you choose not to see it...
Paul stated in the scripture in clear terms why he used the mosaic law to teach various audience,it was for the SAKE OF THE GOSPEL (1 Corinthians 9:23)

NOW I DO ALL THESE FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL so I may become a partner in its benefits. (1 Corinthians 9:23)
What part do you not understand about the grammar? huh huh





Joagbaje:
I did saw it but it's not apllicable . If it were to Jews only . I will agree with you. But Gentiles and Jewish law don't marry .
Paul stated in the scripture in clear terms why he used the mosaic law to teach various audience,it was for the SAKE OF THE GOSPEL (1 Corinthians 9:23)

NOW I DO ALL THESE FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL so I may become a partner in its benefits. (1 Corinthians 9:23)
What part do you not understand about the grammar? huh huh

Joagbaje:
It doesn't make sense.
To you it doesn't make sense....u are not alone...even peter also had an issue with Paul's teachings....He used methods that were not applicable...but he had a target and motive...which was to win soul for the sake of the gospel!

Joagbaje:
That's your personal assumption but it doesn't make spiritual sense . There will always be baby Christian in every congregation till jesus come
Wrong its not....study Acts 15
Babies will one day grow to become matured.....they will never remain babes forever!

Joagbaje:
Pls quote specific passage for context purpose .
cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy
Where were ur eyes when i was quoting that very scripture....If you cant read the scriptures am quoting....how wud u be able to understand?
U have a bible...right?
Study Hebrews 7:12-13;8:7


Joagbaje:
So you endorse it if a former striper does stripping as a way of evangelism?
I made an illustration...
Just to buttress my point where Paul said, "I have become ALL THINGS to ALL PEOPLE, so that I may by EVERY POSSIBLE MEANS SAVE SOME."
I may not use a stripper example....but am reading meanings into Paul's admission....he was willing to do what ever it took to ensure the gospel was preached...Thats just what his thoughts were...so don't blame him for such "actions" and don't blame me for understanding his plight smiley smiley

Joagbaje:
Very funny. Do you attend a church? If you do does your pastor give instructions. If he does. Is it imposition ? Like giving for a project or something
The church i attend only offers free-will collections....
Which is not mandatory or imposed...
Giving for a project or cause is based on the leading of your spirit...so one in church is subjecting anyone to either give a particular amount or impose it on anyone to give...
So maybe the assembly you attend may coercing and manipulative....different stokes for different folks smiley smiley

Joagbaje:
Brother it's the same principle .
Uncle the difference is that my mine has scripture backing...urs is based on ur "revelation" whether true or false..

Joagbaje:
It's always been in the kingdom of God . There have always been different kinds of givings. Free will offering , instructed offering . Vows ,alms .
Did you intentionally omit "tithes" and replaced it with "instructed offering" from ur list of giving? grin grin


Joagbaje:
Paul as a pastor gave intruction to his churches period . It's left for them how much they gave . According to their prosperity. Same thing moses did . Those who don't have gold gave silver down to ram skin.
I disagree....it was not an instruction...it was a word of encouragement to the Corinthians which was based on wat they had and not what dey did not have....
Please go back and study 2 Corinthians 8 and study it slowly....
