HCpaul:
Many of his likes made their money from natural resources - including Mansa Musa while Bill Gates and modern billionaire's achieved that as a result of creative innovation, invention, and by been a pioneer and a reputable technology artifacts.

If they happens to live in this generation, they wouldn't have been that rich cuz such abound natural resources wouldn't have been flowing in the hand of one man.

Bill Gates and his likes rocks wella because they ain't just rich - they are very innovative.

You can't say that for sure, innovation is not limited to just being an inventor, it takes a great level of innovation to grow a Business and not just that, but to the extent of becoming the world's richest man in
his time, even Thomas Edison with his invention was not half as rich as him.


Even today the richest man in Africa Is not an inventor.

For the sake of others reading this Thread

Those reading the thread are aware of these things.

So if i do not tithe, I'll not receive the blessing..

What are these blessings aside from wealth that people who don't tithe don't have?

There's more to life other
than money bro...........I'm sure I'm not the first person to tell you that.

alterswerve:
So so.. Back to the pastor's statement. Is it true? ONLY those who pay tithe..

Yes he is right, riches is part of Blessing but not blessing itself.

alterswerve:
I read the Wikipedia article on him. This is what i saw

'From the beginning, I was trained to work, to save, and to give' (not tithe, give)

At age 16, he gave 6%, then moved on to above 10%....

.. Why are many Christians who tithe still broke?

Rockefeller believed in tithing.

Just as We have Christians who are broke(which is due to the fact that they do not practice what they claim to believe) so also we have atheists and skeptics who are also broke though they claim to be master economists.


And as regards unbelievers who are rich despite their unbelief I will say, that the law of giving and receiving is a natural law, it is possible for a poor Christian to go to heaven.(Although that's not God's plan for us) Mark Zuckerberg , bill gates, and so many other billionaires give selflessly, even more than some "so called christians" so it is only normal for them to be as wealthy as they are now.


But do not select a handful of rich unbelievers and use them as the yardstick for judging the ratio of rich christians to atheists. we have so many Christians who are wealthy just as much as we have rich unbelievers if not more.

alterswerve:
Mr, he didn't tithe. He did charitable deeds. Do you call 6% giving tithing? Do you call more than 10% giving tithing?

Bros, instead of making assumptions just go to google and verify for yourself.

he actually tithed 10% and not 6%, these were his words....

"if I had not tithed the first dollar I made I would not have tithed the first million dollars I made".

True, He did many charitable works but He also tithed.
Both are not exclusive of each other.

fulaniHERDSman:
Dangote the richest black man is not even a christian.
Wetin fela talk again about pastor dem and imam dem?

Thief thief in name of God no good

The Richest man in modern history John D Rockefeller was a Christian and believed also in tithing.
don't forget that his net worth was thrice bill Gates current net worth.

dikerebel:
thanks bro

You are welcome bro.

i don't know what to write



today, this afternoon after the church dismissal, me and my leader were going home, as he wanted to enter his yard i called him, i told him that am not gana be coming to church again, he wanted to drag me inside to know Chaaai the problem was, but i freed my hand from his grip and went home.

My problem is that am angry with God, am angry with the church, am angry the Pastors, am angry with my leaders, am angry with my fellow youth choristers.

Am angry because God hasn't been faithful.
Am angry bemuse the church dosn't care for her poor member.
Am angry bemuse the Pastors are selfish.
Am angry Becus my leaders don't care.
Am angry Becus my fellow chorister are mad and childish.


I am 20yrs, from a family of five.
My parents have been trying and they are devoted christian. Right from my childhood days (14) i start serving God in the choir, but what has God done? i can't deny that was trained in the choir or should i say that i trained my self in the choir. This year i released an album titled (Okaka) the song was great but no body helped, releasing this album has been my dream since i was in sec sch. I was in sec sch i wrote about 25 songs but no body help, you be in church and be hearing that they a land of 1.5 million, in that same church some of the member of the choir that knows that you need help will be making some donations that will be shattering someone's heart (will go and fight them it's their money).
And i have prayed to God, and to me God dosn't care.
It was this year that did some jobs from Wich i got the money to help my music career.


I have search and search and i have seen no reason why should believe in God or why i should pray to him.

There is no need to be attending church agian, because in the church poor people are many there, youths that need help are there, sick people that need medical attention are there but what was the church done, after church dismissal they will tell you go your blessed.

Right now they are calling me, we(choir) have a praise night, just tell me what do i praise God for now


Pls forgive my typos i know there are many mistakes up there.

some years ago,men like David Oyedepo, Johnson Suleiman, James Nick Vujicic, Ben Carson found themselves in your situation, Even Jesus was forsaken at some point in his life, it looked like serving God was baseless, but yet they held on to their beliefs, they kept their faith in God alive and now, all what they went through has proven to be worthwhile, dont crack like an egg because of the
temporary trials you are facing, many have experienced same, and have conquered.



Tough times don't last only tough people do.

[quote author=Imprevisto post=52070258]Why does God hate some people and love others?
No matter what I do, how much I pray, how good of a person I am (I really try) I still know that God doesn't care about me. Why doesn't he? What have I done?
I feel like God has people divided into categories: those whom he favors, those whom he hates and others he just ignores. Many people from the 2nd and 3rd category want to advance to the first, so they tell themselves that its THEIR fault they've upset God etc, etc (so called christian) and try to please God. But the truth is, no matter what you do, you can bend over backwards, but it'll all be the same in the end. Am very depress on certain things that need change.[/quot.e.


The least thing God feels towards you is hate. He does love you and your being alive today is a pointer to that fact.

Because not everyone believes He can.

Geofavor:
Thanks. I can't even rely on that, because I don't have those textbooks yet.
What department do you belong to?

Anatomy. and you?

Etogist:
Generous with whose money. This is a kind of rubbing peter 1 billion to pay Paul 1 thousand and you are shouting generous. Still thinking if heaven is still our hope.

Has the definition of robbery changed? Did those who give offerings tell you that they were asked to give it, under compulsion?

skyhighweb:
Rather than build mega schools for the poor to
study well, they will build mega churches for the
poor to spend well, smh.

and who told you that they don't provide for the needy, are you aware that the church has created opportunities through mediums such as scholarship programmes for intelligent students that are indigent, to attend their schools.


you want them to make it free for everyone, but you will still criticize him if the school eventually fails.

If you must criticize, at least try and understand who you are about criticizing beforehand. don't just jump into conclusions out of desperation to label someone as stingy even when you are not a Better giver yourself.

Geofavor:
uhmm , I don't get this. I meant a list of the topics, sub-topics, etc., in each course.

Thanks. Were you referring to pages in the textbooks you buy when registering your courses? If so, I don't have them; I haven't been cleared.

yeah that was what I meant, although I've not registered yet but I borrowed books from a senior colleague. and he gave me info about the course outline. But dont rely on Just that, check your prospectus when you are done with your departmental clearance as someone has rightly said.

Creeza:
see how you put it like say nah paly play something.


pages 1 to 7 ( lol)

Bros is that what you have covered so far ... or do u mean chapter .... ?
Gst is everything sha...
but others I don't agree with you. Even that CHM113 the chapter 1 is up to page 10...

sorry I meant "chapter"

benzics:
Good morning and a happy Sunday hope most of you went to your house of brainwashing? LOL

Straight to the topic, theists and Deists are fond of saying " how did you exist without a creator ", but the moment you ask them " how did God exist without a creator" they are like, "God is before time, God always was"..

Now how did you get to the conclusion that " god always was ", when you've in fact never seen or heard from this god, you never even studied this god, you just " logically assumed " like my bro Deepsight .

Now I was arguing with this Deist, and he was trying to explain "infinite regress with a permanent something ", so I just acted like I was sharing in his ignorance, and the question is "how did you know that 'god' is that permanent something" ??

Actually, non of these Deists, and Theists know.. They just share in one big river of "ignorance, delusion and assumptions"...

Now I was trying to explain to the theists and Deists using programming's " infinite loop".
If you are a programmer, first you know it's impossible to create a loop using a particular condition, and in the long run, "tweak your condition to suit your explanation" and still maintain the first condition to be true, that's IMPOSSIBLE... Programmers can relate

But this impossible thing is what theists and Deists go about saying "without shame", you create a condition for a God (everything has a creator), then tweak your condition (god has no creator).. It's impossible and to even consider the fact that you know nothing about this "god" of yours!

Next time if you want to give a reason why there is a god, you don't tell us everything has a creator when you are not ready to present us with God's creator, if you want to prove the existence of God to us.. YOU SIMPLY SHOW US GOD!!!

Have a nice day though..

Anything material must have a creator/cause


God is not material,


Hence God does not need a creator to exist.

this is the little I've been able to find out, cuz i'm not through with clearance yet, you could do your personal research on the remaining, hope it helps

Back then, when there was nothing glorious about being a minister, men like these embraced the work of God with all their hearts, now that God has decorated them, you will see people who know nothing about what they've been through, criticizing them from right, left and centre. if you question their glory, check their story.

I thank God for their lives, and admire their passion for the things of God, which has made them blessings to many round the globe.

Ellababe:
Kofa page as been updated,deadline for the payment of acceptance and school fee has been extended to 31dec.

what about those that were given correction form to fill and hence could not continue with the clearance will it affect their admission next year?

The timing of the celebration is not what matters, rather it is who is being celebrated(which in this case isJesus Christ) that counts.

unreciprocated affection hurts.

don't like this comment and win millions of naira.

it's surprising to see atheists accusing theists of suspending their use of logic when it comes to matters relating to their religious beliefs, but do not have a problem with the belief system that suggests that everything has a cause......... except the universe.

FM111(Financial management).

fkdmods:
Places and things you will never experience.

Alright.

fkdmods:
Ignorance is the bane of religious people.

and where has your wisdom gotten you.

EyeHateGod:
Can u give me an Example of Kid with Atheistic upbringing? Me and winner01 and hopefullandlord went over this b4 And like i said if u have noting reasonable to say stay the fu*k out of my thread!

what about children living in secular countries like China, Norway and the others......

akintom:
Now the pro of Mr oyedepo has arrived.

Now that you gloat, based on the gluttony of your liberator of the universe.

Your skydaddy must definitely be proud of you, as you rubbish its other sheep yard that are hungry and lack the sabiness of oyedepo's charade and gimmicks.

Am very sure you're among the crowd that was cheering oyedepo on, when he maliciously dehumanized that little girl, he delusionarily accused of witchcraft.

Am sure oyedepo will beam a crocodile smile, if that only daughter of his, is publicly battered and falsely victimized.

Is it the same oyedepo who had his wife marooned in finest hospital outside Nigeria, for stroke rehabilitation, for almost 2 years, yet lied to you folks that am imaginary skydaddy healed her?

The fake claims of oyedepo's faith healing, is complicating health of folks who swallowed his lies. You don't see these victims in your fashion parade gatherings, they are in the worst section of the hospital. No thanks to the magician in the tabernacle.

The money used for charity by oyedepo is from where?

Is it not from the folks he psychologically twisted?

The money and labor that put up the universities is from where?

Is it not from the sheepmaniacs?

You simply don't understand the ways of religious profiteers and merchants.

He gives because he loves God and not to please you or anybody else. and sorry to say this, but your opinion about him does not count.

It's funny how people are so quick to call another man greedy, even when they are not half as generous as the person they criticize, even with his so called greediness, the fact that he has impacted more lives than his numerous critics here, cannot be overemphasized. And it's even more shocking to see Christians being a part of this shameful display of hypocrisy.


Before you blame the church for exorbitant school fees, let us see the number of people you've trained through school.

The Bishop gives the way Christ instructed us to, no need for announcements, and that's why he is being criticized because he does his givings in secret. And that's why he is being rewarded publicly.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

ScepticalPyrrho:
Nope.
So?

but your earlier assertions contradicts this.

GrizzlyBear:
Why would I want to reveal myself to an ant?

not just any ant, we are also assuming you created the ant, to function as "miniature You" in the world of insects.
