flamingREED:
You are 101% wrong.

To the Op, I say, without any Bible nearby, that:

God is a nature in the Father, Son and Spirit; which defines them both as one and bestows then with all the attributes and entitlements of that nature..

Isaiah 9:6.. 'He shall be called the mighty God'.

Hebrews 1:8..' Unto the Son He saith, ' thy throne O God is forever and ever'..

John 1:1.. ' in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the Word was God '...

....And why am i wrong if i might ask...Pls state ur reasons

facheux:
No I don't believe Allah is a ruthless killer. But I do believe the lying pen of the scribes have altered the Bible.

I noticed in Bible God has sons by the tons. Even satan and his companions were sons of God.

Job 1:6

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Job 2:1

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Still i will insist you consider the very nature of God before hastily concluding.....You must also understand that Lucifer [b]wa[/b]s once a morning glory who was admired by God as one of his sons....but Lucifer became proud and greedy....wanting to have everything for himself including being God onto himself...He went against God and we all know the rest of the story about the downfall of Lucifer....No one goes against its creator and leaves to tell the tale...

Its important to take a holistically view of that verse....its also important that you understand who God is and his virtues,den relate it to wat is written by the prophet Hosea.....remember the spirit of the prophets are subject to the prophets 1 Cor 14:32...hence a prophet may misrepresent a statement from God....Or misquote his intents.....

Same misrepresentation took place in the old testament where micah misquoted or misrepresented God's intention towards king ahab by wrongfully saying that God had sent a lying spirit to deceive the prophets in support of king ahab...

same thing is happening today in our generation where some pastors misrepresent and misquote the scriptures just to suit their selfish agenda...

Thats the very reason why God now speaks tru his son jesus christ and no longer the prophets...hebrews 1:1

Question...
Have you found out the nature of God?
From you research in the bible,do you think God is a ruthless killer?

Its important we have a contextual view of the scripture in order not to paint God as a ruthless killer

Oma307:
This is getting out of hands, i believe since the previous govt could not built any road, hope they build new roads to prevent this horrible, ugly accident

Most accidents in the country are as a result of reckless drivers....the worse part is wen passengers keep mute and don't caution the driver....
there are more accidents wen the roads are smooth.....that's wen drivers will think dey are vin diesel in fast and furious 7..
Forget bad roads,most Nigerian drivers are totally ignorant and reckless.....

Until we do the right thing as citizens of this country,no amount of prayers to God will save us.....
More accidents like these will keep occurring if we fold our arms and do nothing but pray..Faith without works is completely useless and baseless!
Bad things will always prevail when Good people stand by and do nothing......

fairheven:
I asked you a question that you haven't been able to answer.

If you say Christ was referring to pharisees alone and that such doesn't apply to Christians, that also means that every other things Christ said to the pharisees cannot and wil not apply to us right?

That simply means that if christ said to the pharisees not to commit SIN ;that automatically excludes us,since we are not pharisees but Christians.?

That means we can go ahead and commit sin?
Please do reply

Bro let me help u....
consider dese scriptures....Hebrews 7:11-19

Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. For it is witnessed of him,
“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

Ephesians 2:11-16

Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility.

Also consider Galatians 3:

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

Now that these scriptures have established that believers are no longer subject or under the control of the mosaic law,let consider your question...since the law has been annulled and done away with including tithes,does that open a path for us to commit sin....? Absolutely not...
The intent of God was for believers to be imitator or better still be like jesus christ in terms of his attributes and charisma....in other words,believers sud emulate the virtues of christ which was given to us tru the gift of salvation the very day we accepted christ as our lord and personal saviour.....

So how do we know the virtues of jesus christ?

Galatians 5:22-26

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Romans 13:8-10

Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

We as believers must take up the very nature of Jesus Christ.....NOT to observe the laws of Moses.....that are obsolete and imperfect...
but if you seek to observe just one part of the law of Moses which is the payment of tithe,then simply do the rest of the laws of moses instead of observing Just one of them......Galatians 5:3

I will stop here...if you have any questions...i will gladly reply...God bless You!

Chukazu:
your own definition of new testament

your own definition of new testament

He is right....Jesus was still under the law of Moses but there was a change in the law wen he was exalted by God as the high priest after his death and resurrection....

Galatians 4:4-5

When the time came to completion, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

.....for christ is the death of the law to them who believed Romans 10:4

We are no longer in d old dispensation with the mosaic law and its Jewish customs....we have been born into a new dispensation where we worship God through faith in his finished work on the cross and not to seek justification for our righteousness and wealth tru the payment of tithes...

elantraceey:
Abraham paid tithe generations before Moses and the law came in Genesis 14:20 and Paul repeated it in Hebrew 7. Just because it wasn't written that the apostles paid tithe in the Bible doesn't mean they didn't or God told them not to.

Come to think of it, why is it that don't you guys also stop paying offerings too since they were both mentioned in Mal 3?

Paying tithe is Gods own instruction, he even wanted Adam and Eve to pay tithe of just one tree and they still ate it , there are some spiritual principles you shouldn't just break for your own good, you can't have an intimate relationship with the holy spirit and he will tell you not to pay tithe , never.


But in all things all that matters is your motive , pay with the wrong heart/ motive and you'll just be wasting time.

Sorry dear..i would like to disagree with you on ur assumption....Abraham never paid tithes....neither was any law instructing him to tithe before the law was given....

Tithe is a tenth of ur farm produce and herd which is holy to the lord according to the law of moses! ...leviticus 27:30

Wat Abraham gave(not paid) was not a tenth of his farm produce or herd....

Abraham was under no instruction or principle or law required to tithe...

Abraham gave king Melchizedek a tenth of the war spoils which he got from the rescue of his cousin lot when king Melchizedek offered him food and wine in exchange....this was simply a kind gesture on the part of abraham and the king...there was never a principle or law involved in the exchange...if there is please point out the chapter and verse in the bible...

Hebrew 7:1-10 only served to buttress the point that Abraham was never instructed or commanded to to tithe....it even reinforced the fact that tithe was never predated or made a principle...in fact the entire hebrew 7 only showed how tithes and other laws of moses were annulled and no longer relevant to a believer...and that was becos it was obsolete and never made a christian perfect...hence a change of the covenant which also necessitated a change of the law(the law of christ which is love) Hebrews 7:4-28

Paying tithe is Gods own instruction, he even wanted Adam and Eve to pay tithe of just one tree and they still ate it , there are some spiritual principles you shouldn't just break for your own good, you can't have an intimate relationship with the holy spirit and he will tell you not to pay tithe , never.

With all due respect,am shocked by such conclusion and assumptions .....this teaching is totally erroneous and clearly a misrepresentation of wat transpired in the garden of eden...
What was written was written and it would be wrong and cruel to add to what isnt there...
There was no place where adam and eve paid 'tithes' in the garden of eden...Jesus wept!

But in all things all that matters is your motive , pay with the wrong heart/ motive and you'll just be wasting time.

There is no wrong or right motive when it comes to paying tithe...
Most of the believers who tithe do so out of a greedy and selfish motive simply because of the rewards....
As a believer...you are blessed not because u tithe but because u believe in Jesus christ....
learn the gift of giving...(2 Corinthians 8:1-15)
Give as you have decided in ur heart,not grudgingly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful (2 Corinthians 9:7)

klenton:
Were is ur sense of understanding?
Are u dat dumb and brainless?
Wat has d guy said dat is wrong, come to tink of it u dnt need luck to have a flat tummy, u only work on it

Well said bro...all dat is needed to get a flat tummy is will power not luck

There is nothing wrong if a lady is in shape....makes her attractive and curvy
I Don't buy into d concept dat a lady after giving birth,will for ever remain that way with a protruded tummy...that's a faulty and archaic statement..its all about will power...
Ladies hit d gym and eat right not junk or processed foods that keep storing cholesterol in ur tummy causing high blood pressure...

Dee235:
Despite the so many scripture verses from the writer he forgot this verse about what Jesus said about Tithe.

Mat 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Emphasis on: and not to leave the other undone.

Jesus never disputed the existence or relevance of tithe just d same way he didn't dispute animal sacrifices or other laws that were in existence..And that was because jesus was still leaving under the law....

Christ came to fulfill or accomplish the purpose of the mosaic law in order for us to be free from the curse and dictates of the law...

Thats why Christ said in Matthew 5:17-18,

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

dats y Romans 10:4 states that;

For Christ is the end of the law to everyone who believes.

Galatians 3:21-26 states dat....

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.

But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

Tithe and other laws of moses like animal sacrifices are no longer practiced in the new covenant where christ is the high priest!
