Tithe is given to God through the high priest However God added two additional tithes for the Jews under the law then: Which was tithes for the poor and the third one was a recreational feast . Take a 10% and enjoy feast and picnic All were to be done . The later 2 does not take away the first which is the tithe to God . So give what is for God to God The tithe to God is the one We learnt from abraham TITHE TO THE LORD Leviticus 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord. THE TITHE FOR FEAST (Deut. 14:22-27). Deuteronomy 14:22-23 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. TITHE FOR THE POOR Deuteronomy 14:28-29 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.. |
Kobojunkie:John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also. . . |
Kobojunkie:The scripture I quoted in Romans has all the answers . When you pray in tongues . It is the Holy Spirit that does the praying through you . Because our understanding is limited . So when you ray about a Matter in the common language the prayer is not 100% perfect because of mans limited understanding . God can only grant prayer that is consistent with his will . 1 John 5:14 . . if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: It’s only the holy spirit that knows the will of God 100 %. So when we pray in the spirit about a matter . Maybe I have a journey before me and I’m praying to God the success . But God doesn’t even want me to go because someone important will come today and if I travel I will miss the opportunity . Now If I pray in tongues about the journey . The Holy Spirit will pray the mind of God to manifest . I may just lost the interest to travel , vehicle delay etc May just happen and I am in sync with Gods will. Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Interpretation was never for God's benefit, but for our benefit, and the benefit of those listening. . .I said earlier this part was not meant for you but the OP Now concerning the gibberish Firstly there are different levels of praying in tongues from experience for those who do pray in tongues. It’s not about the sound but the source of inspiration within It’s not earthly language. There maybe some repetitiveness rababa... etc. like a stammer Isaiah 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. The stammering lips is the inspired heavenly tongue Or tongue of angels while the anotherTongue Is tongue of men or human language 1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men [/b]and of [b]angels . . . Sometimes while praying in tongues alone . It get to a point of not being able to utter words again especially during intercession for a person . You just find yourself groaning . But the Holy Spirit is using the groaning to pray the will of God , now I will ask is groaning an earthly language ? Yet in the realm of the spirit it has a meaning how much more words that are called gibberish . You se it’s not the sound that is the issue but the inspiration behind it . Jesus groaned at the grave of Lazarus in intercession and he said to God “you have heard me . Some times someone just burst out laughing uncontrollably or find him self singing “gibberish song “ 1 Corinthians 14:15 . . .I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. |
Kobojunkie:Okay let’s leave that for now So, you are praying to God in a language you do not yourself understand, so how do you truly know that you are praying? How do you know what you are praying for? How do you even know the meaning of each and every word out of your mouth? To answer any, and all of these questions, you can do either of two things.Actually I thought I was talking with the OP. He has said something about you must interpret when you speak in toungues You ask God to bless you with interpretation so you can understand every word that is spoken in this strange language by you.To understand that passage you have to see certain things . There’s difference between praying to God in tongue and speaking to men in tongues . So there are times Paul talks about speaking with tongues to men . Which is prophecy and it requires interpretation but individuals praying to God is different . God doesn’t need interpretation . I thought I was talking with the OP . And 3 things I want him to observed in that Corinthians passage about tongues : 1. Praying to God individually no interpretation 2. Speaking in toungues to men interpretation needed 3. Praying to God corporately on behalf of others require interpretation When we observe each verse from this Perspective it will be clear . But I would like to ask you about Romans 28 Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. |
Kobojunkie:No I mean principles of understanding a bible verse A tongue is a language (full blown). The gift of interpretation to allow what is said in one language to be interpreted to another for those who do not speak the foreign language of the tongue. Translation is used mainly for written text while interpretation is applied in the case of spoken words.Let me make it simpler . To understand that passage let’s look at certain things . God is all knowing , if I’m praying to God in tongues why would I need to interprete to God ? |
Kobojunkie:Ok Maybe the use of code and decoding is too high let me apply the use of the word “principles of interpretation” "Tongues" there refers to language in it's completeness,Then why would there be the need the Gift of the Holy Spirit to interpret. A translator would have been needed rather without Holy Spirit . The incident on the day of Pentecost didn’t require a gift of interpretation |
Kobojunkie:I believe you’re a christian too .practice what you preach |
kobobay:If you believe a man is innocent until proven guilty . You should not have said you pray he will repent of other wicked things , you are indirectly judging your brother still . what wicked thing did he do If he praying for Visa is not the same as praying for yahoo fraudsters. If women strip themselvesto intercede for his release , what makes you think he asked them to do it. Is there a proof to such things . You're indirectly using a man's crisis in advertising your church as better place than his. Its wrong. When we stand for justice let's stand for justice in a just way. |
Kobojunkie:If you look at Paul’s writing from the perspective I was taking about . It will decode the passage . No special code involved.There are codes in interpreting of scriptures Have you ever heard the tongues of angels?let’s not get personal but if you ask me I will answer Yes , I speak it I can tell you that it does not sound like gibberish to the one who speaks it and to the one hearing itIt is gibberish , Especially to human carnal mind . It doesn’t make human sense . 1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. Isaiah 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. It is not glossolalia.What do you mean by “it is not Glossolalia? |
Infomaz:Wrong !! You’re mixing two different things together . Praying to God in tongues is different from speaking to men in tongues . That’s just the code . If you examine your study from this perspective you will see the missing link . QUESTION: So where did the popular modern day speaking in tongues come from?Wrong !! There’s tongues of men which is earthly language and there’s tongues of angels which you may call gibberish 1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels. . . . Rev 16:13-14Wrong!!! The incidence you’re quoting is a futuristic , apocalyptic prophecy which will take place during the tribulation after the church would have been raptured . This would be Spirit’s that will be released on the earth that time . |
Daddy freeze is very wrong and blind about spiritual things |
KINGJAJA888:Arrest is not it at all. What if his fomular works. They should rather invite him to take the oil and infect him with the virus the result will speak either true or false |
triplechoice:Tell that to jesus . Leapers were in isolation in the bible days also. |
Gombs:God exercise faith Man exercise faith Animals cant |
OpenYourEyes1:It's a shadow of christ who is our rest |
shadeyinka:Classic |
Kobojunkie:That has to do with believers , he was talking to Christian community . More like God has given to every man among us measure of faith . You have to have the word of God first to have faith in God Consider the case of the Centurion with the sick servant. What did Jesus suggest his faith came from?The centurion already heard the testimonies of Jesus . That’s why he came .He was rather exercising faith which has come to him by hearing When Jesus' disciples asked him to increase their faith, did Jesus ask tell them that they would need to HEAR MORE in other to have more faith? No, faith does not come from hearing alone, my friend.That’s what they said but did Jesus agree with them.? . They already have the word rather need to be strong in what word they heard Foundation for faith in God is his word Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? |
The only REASONS Pastors may not be happy with lockdown is for the sake of the sheep . Firstly because they know that satan your father is behind this set up . The church is the only hindrance satan has to carry out his wishes. If he can bring a distraction he can manipulate his way. But the church has adjusted. The church is now expanding in homes and online . Money is never a motive because people have been giving online before now now everyone is giving online. The other reason is the fact that then church is ordained to gather . The church is a gathering . The church is assembly not individual. There are however activities and sacraments of the church that cannot be done online. Social distance is a hindrance to some of these . Social distance is a hindrance to Water baptism Laying of hands Holy Communion Child dedication Church weddings And there are other spiritual blessing of the corporate gathering of the church. Matthew 18:20 . .For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. |
kingxsamz:How do you know. |
Maximus69:Firstly you are misusing scriptures to Lay curses. the verse was not written for the church but for the Jews. Jesus was the only one filled with the holy ghost to teach that time . But when he left he gave gifts to men to be teachers and Pastors just like him Ephesians 4:8-11 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. . . And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; He gave the church Pastors and apostles as offices and here you are laying curses on them . Because of your personal misunderstanding of scriptures |
Perfectbeing:He didn’t say . To be demonized is deferent from possession . Does that mean the Holy spirit and a demon can live in the same body.Yes Let he kindly show us a passage in the bible where a believer is possessed by a demonic spirit..When you use the word “ POSSESS it connote a different thing . The op did not use possess. But a Christian can be demonized which means oppressed ,obsessed ,influenced etc Annanias was influenced to lie and steal by evil spirit which led to his death Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Paul warn the church many times . Of giving room to the devil things like anger . Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.: He even talk about angel of darkness tormenting him . 2 Corinthians 12:7 even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. even though the torment of Paul was external the devil was not in him but was tormenting him from outside but the point if it’s all demonic activity Many Christians are sick today by giving room to Satan . He even went as far as killing them! |
Maximus69:Jesus never said such . you’re only camping with the adversary of the church by your action . Jesus said Woe onto all those parading themselves as religious [b]title chiefs[/b]! Matthew 23:2-12So your beef with them is their title . It’s carnal minded people that see it as titles. Jesus gave it to the church as offices of service . Pastor , apostle , bishop , prophet , evangelist , deacons You see when you make careless utterance as you did by saying “ ALL KNOWN PASTORS WILL PERISH “ You are in error and you should take my light rebuke in love . The fact that some people creep in or some did certain wrong should not warrant such careless talk that all known minister of God will perish |
paxonel:Why don’t you do a research . Forget Nigerian church google Derek prince on YouTube any of his teaching on demons . He is late now though . Look I know what I’m talking about . I cast devils out from Christians Even ministers . I’m talking about tongue speaking and bible teachers |
mmsen:God did not allow your photo to upload ![]() |
Maximus69:That’s your small mind definition Hate speech is defined by Cambridge Dictionary as "public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation". Tell him that all the Pastors he can think of in this world today will perish. .Curse God bless youblessing James 3:10-11 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.. . . |
Maximus69:That's Hate speech . You are very wrong . The ministry of God hasn't changed . He gives Pastor to the people after his own heart . It's only God who can reward Pastors for their labours a d sacrifices. |
paxonel:You’re getting it gradually . At least you saw it from the Bible . There’ are 3 operations of evil spirits or demons . Possession, oppression and obsession A man can be demonized by having a demon in him but some others may get influenced from the demon externally . They can suggest thoughts to a person and influenced decisions . Those are part of obsession . There are other part of obsessions such as addictions , lust etc . Opressions can be a torment in the mind or body ailment , bad lucks , failures , pain etc There are pastors who couldn’t have children and they were ministered to and a demon was speaking through them . Imagine a demon speaking through a teacher of the word “ I am the idol of his fathers house” or speaking through a lady pastor “ I am her spiritual husband “ and guess what when the demon is cast out they had children each . You should have told me you have never seen the real demon before now, I didn't know.Have you seen one before ? Kindly Describe |
Dani93:So what is your religion ? Just tell him . |
Kobojunkie:How can animals have faith ? Not even all men have faith 2 Thessalonians 3:2 . . for all men have not faith. Do animals have instincts?Even Plants have instinct. butt Faith is not instinct . Faith is a response to Gods word . It comes hearing Gods word . Romans 10:17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ. |
