Guys Thanks so much... Please review the image below and tell me what u think... This is the only place that's giving me concerns.

Hope its ok now, besides, must the value in my minimum equipment cost be same as the value in my capital expenses? someone said they should be same.
minimum equipment cost is more or less the least cost needed to get ur equipments ready to commence ur services or production...its like saying you want,lets say,#100k to get some materials but you wont mind taking at least #60k 2 get the materials before the rest is paid...so i dont think its illogical to write the same amount as ur required equipment when all they want is the minimum(small) equipment....just my opinion though!!

Men are quick to point out that they want a woman who will "grow together" with him from the time he has nothing.
What they don't tell you is that when he becomes successful, you the woman who stood by him when he had nothing will be kicked out to the gutter for the woman who wants the man that has made it.

"Little beginnings" my left toe! Who doesn't know how men twist situations to their favour?
thats the dynamics of life...just as our faces are different,so are our thoughts and actions....just becos a guy refused to marry a lady who lead him to success after standing by him,doesnt mean ALL MEN have such traits...please try to be a bit objective in ur analysis and stop generalizing.. sad

a knife is used as a useful equipment in the kitchen and other important aspects,
it can also be a fatal weapon or as a means of destruction..
those that stop one from using a knife?

a car can be used as a luxury or a necessity as the case may be...
it can also be used a tool to kill...does that make one stop using a car?

Technology is one of the best thing that has ever graced the world and its
environs...but it has also been the world's worse nightmare...
has that stopped us from using anything related to technology?
absolutely not...

just like what Pastor bakare rightly said,there is actually nothing wrong

-Sounds more like you are full of pride. Not from any denomination, Maybe over religious, that you feel you don't need any input from any other resources, Like you said you are a son of God. So one reading and studying the bible don't make himself a old Jewish solar. You can win as much as you can on Nairaland price? if you felt you want to teach me anything, just ask" but with your pages its more like you are in some kind of your own competition. if you read my last page I had finished, you will find I had pretty much answered and given you answers to you questions. But if you still aren't satisfied, only God can help you.
@brocab... grin grin grin grin..u make me laugh so hard...that i wonder if you really read anything i wrote...
if you in any way dont understand what i wrote,i guess the most obvious and noble thing to have done would have been to simply inquire what i meant by 'denomination not being my thing' rather than speculating...

yes i belong to a denomination but will that make me a better christian or take me to heaven? absolutely not....so if i say am a son of God,i know what am saying and its left for you to ask instead of second guessing or assuming... undecided

hahahaahahaa....i aint no jewish scholar bro grin grin grin grin...i have never and will never claim knowledge of everything...i keep learning everyday...thats what makes me a better christian....

i have read your concluded post and i made an admission that if i had known that you were not in support of the tithe,we wouldnt have had this argument....

Actually I didn't finish writing my page, you got the page un finished
ok i just finished reading ur concluded post which i quoted...
jesus was never wrong because he actually came to 'fulfill' the laws of moses which he did by completing the sacrificial system that became necessary because of sin. In the Old Testament, men lived under the condemnation of the Law. Sacrifices were needed to continually atone for their sins (Leviticus 4:35, 5:10). However, since Jesus gave Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, we are no longer condemned same for other laws...
in essence,i mean the coming of Christ virtually everything has changed:

The blood sacrifices ceased because Christ fulfilled all that they were pointing toward. He was the final, unrepeatable sacrifice for sins. Hebrews 9:12: “He entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.”

The priesthood that stood between worshipper and God has ceased. Hebrews 7:23-24: “The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever.”
The physical temple has ceased to be the geographic center of worship. Now Christ himself is the center of worship. He is the “place,” the “tent,” and the “temple” where we meet God. Therefore Christianity has not geographic center, no Mecca, no Jerusalem. John 4:21-23: “Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. . . . But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.’” John 2:19-21: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. . . . He was speaking about the temple of his body.” Matthew 18:20: “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

The food laws that set Israel apart from the nations have been fulfilled and ended in Christ. Mark 7:18-19: “[Jesus] said to them, ‘Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him . . . (Thus he declared all foods clean).’”

The establishment of civil law on the basis of an ethnically rooted people, who are ruled directly by God, has ceased. The people of God are no longer a unified political body or an ethnic group or a nation-state, but are exiles and sojourners among all ethnic groups and all states. Therefore, God’s will for states is not taken directly from the Old Testament theocratic order, but should now be reestablished from place to place and from time to time by means that correspond to God’s sovereign rule over all peoples, and that correspond to the fact that genuine obedience, rooted as it is in faith in Christ, cannot be coerced by law. The state is therefore grounded in God, but not expressive of God’s immediate rule. Romans 13:1, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.” John 18:36: “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting.”
finally,if i had known your position on tithe before now,we wouldnt have had this argument....
but since you said YOU GIVE BUT DON'T TITHE ,i'll say FAIR ENOUGH

First question I would like to ask you, are you a JW? Second question is yours: Like myself" those who study-seek the word of God, and will always find other resources to study, new and old findings of bible meanings. Same as you-What is your argument? Are you trying to be my teacher? This sounds like a war, are you trying to prove to yourself, you are the better person for the job. And if we are to focus on the bible and not the dictionary, then why are you using Greek words. "Teleo" meaning from dictionary, Definitional to bring to a close, passed, finished, to perform, execute, complete, Fulfil. Now "Vocab" Definitional productive and receptive, degree, depth of knowledge, reading, listening, speaking, writing, again from a dictionary. "Kataluo" The NAS NT Greek lexicon, Definitional destroy, demolish, other translated words found in a dictionary from bible study tools? So that shows your information is also from other sources, not your own. You say "one' cant use the dictionary, but you have used the dictionary, and other sources from other links? Sounds "hypocritical." Of course, their are different ways of meanings, in words found. but no-one told me" this was suppose to be a competition. When we read different bibles, we find words that don't follow up with others-but all in sound, people buy bibles and bible dictionaries and other, so one can understand.
Your last page said:
{Christ "ended the law" so that everyone who believes in him is made right with God} "Teleo" to an end- complete, other words, finished no more. Which law?
He didn't end the law.
Matthew 5:17 Do "Not" think that I come here to destroy the law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to "Fulfil". he fulfilled it. If the law had ended, as {"Teleo sounds"} then there will be no sin, but since sin is still in place, there's a law. Jesus came to fulfil all the laws. As written. Your argument is with "Jesus." Tell him he's wrong. Galatians 3:2 Have "you" received the spirit from the law, and not by faith? You don"t need to show me anything about the tithing laws. I give' but don't tithe.
Amazing!!! cheesy
its obvious you didnt bother reading the scriptures i provided for you....
it simply means you are not willing or ready to learn or communicate..

you said i used other sources apart from the bible to find out the meaning of 'fulfilled'...
if you really read my post you quoted,you would have seen the hebrew word and link for 'fulfilled' which i provided for you...
i hope you are aware the scriptures were initially in hebrew words before it was interpreted in english or other translations...

you asked if am a JW.....am not a JW, i am a son of God...i am a co-heir of God's inheritance...denominations are not my thing...may be they are for you... cool

And one more thing,you said am in a competition with you...hahahahahahahahaha grin grin grin grin grin.....that sound too LOW my brother.....if you look through my posts especially the ones you quoted,there has been absolutely NO instances where i made it look like am competing with you....what for?
are we going to win a nairaland price?? grin grin grin
or will there be a statue made for the best debater on nairaland?? cheesy

we are all here to learn,that why i did my best to provide scriptures as evidence that christ ended the law...
if you think otherwise,the scripture Romans 14:5-9 provides the answer...

5 Some people might believe that one day is more important than another. And others might believe that every day is the same. Everyone should be sure about their beliefs in their own mind. 6 Those who think one day is more important than other days are doing that for the Lord. And those who eat all kinds of food are doing that for the Lord. Yes, they give thanks to God for that food. And those who refuse to eat some foods do that for the Lord. They also give thanks to God.

7 We don’t live or die just for ourselves. 8 If we live, we are living for the Lord. And if we die, we are dying for the Lord. So living or dying, we belong to the Lord. 9 That is why Christ died and rose from death to live again—so that he could be Lord over those who have died and those who are living.

What Does It Mean that Christ Fulfilled the Law?

Today’s big question: what does it mean that Christ fulfilled the Law?

To answer this question, we must first look at what is meant by “the Law” in this instance. Some would posit that Christ is referring to the Ten Commandments. Indeed, this often is the meaning of “the Law;” however, context gives us several reasons why that is not the case here.

The majority of Matthew 5 consists of Jesus referring to statements from the Law and then expounding on them. Yet only two such statements in the chapter are drawn from the Ten Commandments: “You shall not murder” (Matthew 5:21) and “You shall not commit adultery” (Matthew 5:27). The other topics Jesus covered—divorce, oaths, revenge, and hatred—are taken from elsewhere in the Old Testament.

Furthermore, the combination of “the Law” with “the Prophets” would seem to indicate that Christ is referring to the whole Old Testament. “The Law” would then refer to the Pentateuch—the first five books of the Bible, which were written by Moses. The same would be true in Luke 24:44, when Jesus told His disciples, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”

So we see that Christ fulfilled the whole Old Testament. This manifests itself in several ways. In the most basic sense, it means Jesus fulfilled all of the prophecies concerning the first coming of the Messiah. The Gospels are filled with statements like, “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,” “just as it is written of Him,” “that the Scripture might be fulfilled,” and similar phrases (Matthew 13:35; Mark 14:21; Luke 18:31; John 17:12, and many others).

In a more specific sense, the fulfillment of the Law means that Christ completed the sacrificial system that became necessary because of sin. In the Old Testament, men lived under the condemnation of the Law. Sacrifices were needed to continually atone for their sins (Leviticus 4:35, 5:10). However, since Jesus gave Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, we are no longer condemned. “He himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world” (1 John 2:2, (NET)).

This is an awesome truth! God no longer requires continual sacrifices for sin, because Jesus has already atoned for all of our sins. Our lives should now be lived to please God out of thankfulness to Him for what He has already done. We are made free through Christ (Galatians 5:1).

What is written on my page you don't understand? Is this still the tithing page? Anyway I will answer you-Plus you had forgotten the other meanings to the word fulfil, fulfilled, fulfilling, Achieve or realize [something desired, promised or predicted. Fulfil to bring into actuality effect-fulfilled their promise to carry out{ an "order" for example} To measure up to satisfy. You need to look at other meanings to the words, Taking it from one Greek word does not answer your demands. And "who" is my neighbour? My turn to write. You say: Christ ended the law, Teleo to an "end" complete.
Matthew's record of what is commonly called the sermon on the Mount.
These words of Jesus are recorded: Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them.
I tell you the truth, until Heaven and Earth past away, one jot or one title will no means pass away, from the law until everything is accomplished" Matthew 5:17-18.
It is frequently argued that if Jesus didn't "abolish" the Law, then it must still be binding. Accordingly, such components as the Sabbath-day requirement must be still operative still. Along will perhaps numerous other elements of the Mosaic Law. This assumption is grounded in a misunderstanding of the words and intent of this passage.
Christ did not suggest here that the binding nature of the Law of Moses would remain forever affect. Such a view would contradict everything we learn from the balance of the NT. {Romans 10:4; Galatians:3 23-25; Ephesians:2-15.
it is especially important note how the word is used in Matthew 5:17. In this counter "abolish" is set in opposition to fulfil. "Christ came".. Not to abolish, but to fulfil. Jesus did not come to the earth for the purpose of acting as an opponent of the law.
His goal was not to prevent its fulfilment. Rather he revered it, Loved it, obeyed it, and brought it to fruition, he fulfilled the laws, prophetic utterance regarding himself, Luke 24:44.
Christ fulfilled the demands of the Mosaic Law which called for perfect obedience under threat of a "curse" Galatians 3:10-13.
In this sense, the purpose for which it was given. If, however, the Law of Moses bears the same relationship to men today, interms of its binding status, then it was not fulfilled, and Jesus failed at' what he came to do. On the other hand, if the lord did accomplish his goal, then the law was fulfilled, and it is not a binding legal institution today.
Further; if the law of Moses was not fulfilled by Christ-and thus remains as a binding legal system for today-then it is not just partially, binding, rather, it is totally a compelling system. Jesus plainly said that one "jot or title" {representative of the smallest markings of the Hebrew script} would pass away until all was fulfilled.
Consequently, nothing of the Law was to fail until it had completely accomplished its purpose.
Jesus fulfilled the Law.
Jesus fulfilled all the Law.
We can not say that Jesus fulfilled the sacrificial system, but did not fulfil the other aspects of the Law.
Jesus either fulfilled all the law, or none of it.
What Jesus' death means for the sacrificial system, it also means for the other aspects of the Law.
What is written on my page you don't understand? Is this still the tithing page? Anyway I will answer you-Plus you had forgotten the other meanings to the word fulfil, fulfilled, fulfilling, Achieve or realize [something desired, promised or predicted. Fulfil to bring into actuality effect-fulfilled their promise to carry out{ an "order" for example} To measure up to satisfy. You need to look at other meanings to the words, Taking it from one Greek word does not answer your demands. And "who" is my neighbour? My turn to write.

with all due respect,you are the one that obviously did not understand what you wrote
and by that failed to understand my own point of view...i will take your recent points one
after the other...
most of the meanings of vocabs in the bible are not the same as what is
found in your advanced dictionary...i mean to say that the writer or author of the bible,
using the word 'fulfilled' may have a different meaning from what
the dictionary says...take for instance,the tithe definition in
advanced dictionary is completely different from what is written in the
scriptures....

so the meaning of words in the scripture should be focused on the bible and not dictionary meaning.
i wud like you to go tru the hebrew meaning of 'fulfill' by using dis link;
http://biblehub.com/hebrew/5487.htm


now you said i am deviating from the tithe discussion,in actual sense am
only trying to show you that since tithe was part of the laws of moses,
its stands abolished along with other laws that were made then...




i find out that ALMOST ALL of your writings were ARTICLES that were taken from the link below
http://www.gotquestions.org/abolish-fulfill-law.html...
(i just decided to pick some)

It is frequently argued that if Jesus didn't "abolish" the Law, then it must still be binding. Accordingly, such components as the Sabbath-day requirement must be still operative still. Along will perhaps numerous other elements of the Mosaic Law. This assumption is grounded in a misunderstanding of the words and intent of this passage.

unfortunately or unintentionally,you 'ignored' this part in your writeup....


Of special significance in this study is the word rendered “abolish.” It translates the Greek term kataluo, literally meaning “to loosen down.” The word is found seventeen times in the New Testament. It is used, for example, of the destruction of the Jewish temple by the Romans (Matthew 26:61; 27:40; Acts 6:14), and of the dissolving of the human body at death (2 Corinthians 5:1). The term can carry the extended meaning of “to overthrow,” i.e., “to render vain, deprive of success.” In classical Greek, it was used in connection with institutions, LAWS , etc., to convey the idea of “TO INVALIDATE.”

i would suggest that you study more ARTICLES on how christ fulfilled or brought the law to an end like the bible said to get a wholistic view on this suject....
i will suggest and pray your study dese scriptures;
ephesians 2:14-15
colossians 2:6-23
1 timothy 1:8-11
galatians 3:2-5

Christianity EtcRe: Understanding The Concept of Tithing by openmine(m): 3:19pm On Nov 04, 2014
brocab:
Can't you read. Jesus never done away with his father's laws, Jesus fulfil the laws. Galatians 3:10-14. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse:Curse is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law. {Do you yourself follow all the laws}? V's 11, But no-one is Justified by the law in the sight of god" For the just shall live by faith. V's 12, YET THE LAW IS NOT OF FAITH. V's 13, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the LAW. V's 14, that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the spirit through FAITH. You surely don't read you bible, and Jesus came to fulfil the laws as its written. And if you study the bible yourself you will also see the changers in the laws. Think about it' the OT says if your son is stubborn and rebellious the parents have the rights to stone him to death. Would you do that? And if you committed adultery, You will be put to death, John 8:4-7 The scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in the very act of adultery V's 5, Now Moses in the Law commanded us that such should be stoned" V's 7, Jesus in the NT said: those who don't sin cast the first stone. In Matthew 5:17-18, Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfil. Which means Jesus had made a better path for us to follow. Find the truth. it will set you free. And tithing was one of those old testament laws, Jesus had fulfilled.
do you understand what the word "fulfil" meant in the scripture matthew 5:17?

i suggest you check up the greek word for "fulfil"...but let me help you...the greek word for the word "fulfil" is teleó: which means to bring to an end , complete .... came to complete the law of moses in order to bring it to a conclusive end....
Romans 10:4 was clear about this...lets find out;

4 Christ ended the law so that everyone who believes in him is made right with God.

furthermore,Galatians 3:21-29 further affirms how christ "fulfilled" the law of moses by putting it to an end once he was revealed;
pay close attention to the bolded..
21 Does this mean that the law works against God’s promises? Of course not. The law was never God’s way of giving new life to people. If it were, then we could be made right with God by following the law. 22 But this is not possible. The Scriptures put the whole world in prison under the control of sin, so that the only way for people to get what God promised would be through faith in Jesus Christ. It is given to those who believe in him.

again focus on the bolded....
23 Before this faith came, the law held us as prisoners. We had no freedom until God showed us the way of faith that was coming. 24 I mean the law was the guardian in charge of us until Christ came. After he came, we could be made right with God through faith. 25 Now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the LAW to be our GUARDIAN. (REALLY?? YES INDEED smiley )

26-27 You were all baptized into Christ, and so you were all clothed with Christ. This shows that you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 28 Now, in Christ, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Greek, a slave or free, male or female. You are all the same in Christ Jesus. 29 You belong to Christ, so you are Abraham’s descendants. You get all of God’s blessings because of the promise that God made to Abraham. Galatians 3:21-29

you might ask,if the laws of moses has been abolished,are we NOW free to commit adultery or to kill or to commit evil?
far from it?
Galatians 5:1-6 says
5 We have freedom now, because Christ made us free. So stand strong in that freedom. Don’t go back into slavery(under the law) again. 2 Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you start following the law by being circumcised, then Christ cannot help you. 3 Again, I warn everyone: If you allow yourselves to be circumcised, then you must follow the whole law. 4 If you try to be made right with God through the law, your life with Christ is finished—you have left God’s grace. 5 I say this because our hope of being right with God comes through faith. And the Spirit helps us feel sure as we wait for that hope. 6 When someone belongs to Christ Jesus, it is not important if they are circumcised or not. The important thing is faith—the kind of faith that works through love.

Galatians 5:13-14 (Pay close attention to 14)
13 My brothers and sisters, God chose you to be free. But don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do what pleases your sinful selves. Instead, serve each other with love. 14 The whole law is made complete(fulfilled or brought to an end) in this ONE COMMAND: “Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.”

So my question to you should be..who is your neighbor?
