Elxandre:
Where is it well supported in the new testament?
Why is there no record of any of the apostles paying tithes?

Matthew 23:23 is the best example of the new testament. Notice how CHRIST ended that verse "without neglecting the rest"

Even the Pharisees paid tithe. That there was no record of the appostles paying tithe doesn't prove or disprove anything.

Lezzlie:
Your emotional excitability will land you one day soon in my abbatoir!

Clownish Zany

Who your grammar done help? Today na Sunday, I no dey fear you. Wait till Monday when office will resume, Oga _lezzlie.

And which abbatoir be that? I shall have my boys beat you up whenever you come around town.

Let's see if my touts understand those English you dey speak. They'll box you in the mouth, compressing your lips against your teeth. A good 4by4 plank will do well against your women-motivated-sixpacks.

No more bb updates showings us your object of pervertion. They'll break those hands of yours and your latest woman, _mimzuly will wonder what happened to you. You'll seize typing those sweet words that leave NL women queuing up, waiting for you to look their way.

Stay away from delta state on weekends.

Thank you for your responce, "No priest or pastor can enforce it. It is strictly between you and God"


Thus my second question, "Why do Pastors lay a greater emphasis on tithing more than every other biblical texts"

because if its really between i and my God, then i see no reason why you should start judging or questioning my faithfulnes to my creator with sometime that's none of your business in the first place.

I do not 'refuse' to pay tithe, i simply do not have enough sometimes, to give.
And if truely, God is the almaighty who is got everything; including riches in his hands, why do you thinks its wise for me to give the little i have to Someone who's got it all?

Tithes are not voluntary offerings, so you can't say "you don't have enough to give". You either have or you don't have. Whatever your hands have worked to earn wages, 10% of it belongs to GOD.

That tithe is for GOD and it belongs to the pastors and the priests who are GOD's representative in the church.

It is their portion. Num 18:21 and several other passages attest to it. Tithe generation is supposed to be what the church uses to run its operational cost, up keep of workers, etc.

A greedy priest who is out for money can not be a reason not to pay tithe. It is between him and GOD. Yours is to fulfill your part and turn aside from how it was spent or used. Pastors can preach about tithes, it's part of your salvation. Though the genuine ones don't stress about it.

Lezzlie:
You're missing alot!!!

A 290ppi resolution for a 5'' screen size is mediocre!!!

Not to mention sun-legibility, true multi-tasking, live-multitasking, camera features, e.g simultaneous video and camera recording in HD resolution.

Did i mention 4K video? That's the video resolution you can capture on a mobile and watch it on a colossal flat screen TV without losing pixel count.


Most high end devices supports wireless and quick charging technology.

Besides, like cars, high-end devices are statement of style and class!

Ok. We done hear. Who your note4 done help?

Quote me and I shall have you for Sunday chicken.


Oh, na _lezzlie be that? Shun sir! I been think say na Lesotho.

Dklef:
Pardon me, quoting you if you dont mind. I'd like to know your imput on the questions list below;


1. Paying of tithe in church, is it suppose to be compulsorily or willingly done?
2. Why do churches lay a greater emphasis on tithing more than every other text in the bible?

Make me sef quote you!

Tithing is of GOD. It is HIS requirement. It is well supported in the new testament.

No priest or pastor can enforce it. It is strictly between you and GOD.

Do christians who refuse to pay tithes committing sin? A big YES!!!

Persephenee:
Thank you.
Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday.
You definitely must have abandoned yourself to the gusto of last night's victory by Madrid and you forgot to say goodnight.

How's your day going?

A man should never work FOR his wife. It's a perversion of divine providence.

What woman who isn't spiritually and mentally compromised would want her husband to work under her?

A woman is a woman. No matter the false orientation and beliefs, she'll always betray who she is--a woman!

Do some little findings and you'll dig up facts that homes where the woman earns higher wages than her husband are more prone to divorce. And women in such situations are less happy and fulfilled than women whose husbands earn higher.

@OP, she'll never respect you like she really should. I'll stake my last naira that such women are egoistic, control freaks and bossy.

There's nothing wrong working under a female boss. If you're smart and your masculine charms and techniques are up to par, you can manipulate her. She's a woman for crying out loud!!! Like a deity, you should know what she "eats"! They can't live without flattery and praise. Even when her emotions get the better of her and she misbehaves, be tactful. Withdrawal your charms, your flattery, your "innocent" praises. And see whether that office will be the same without your glow.

Women like smart dressers and clean looking men. If you know what it is to be MALE you should not find it a problem if you happen to work under a woman whose not your wife.

But how can you work under your own wife? She should be humble enough to let you take charge even if just as a figure head should you lack the qualification. The dynamic of marriage can not hold up firm should you work for and take instructions from your own wife who you're supposed to lead, care and provide for. Hell would break lose unless that man knows no shame and has no selfworth.

Since you dare put this on religious section, I'll tell you what; take her for deliverance and counselling.

blackjack21:
Dude, we won against Sevilla.

Granted! But Sevilla isn't in the top 4 teams. Madrid, until yesterday hasn't won any of the top 4teams this season.

Elxandre:
I'm in my Sunday mood already. I'm going to spare you and that lady.

Next time!
I don mark your moniker

@Persephenee, my eyes are assuming alot of authority this minute. They're ordering me to hit the bed.

But I've been seriously meaning to ask you how you managed to escape the highly contagious feminism virus.

I'll do that next chance I get.
You have a good night sleep!

You're a princess of a rare stock.

Persephenee:
Lol
Knew you'd say that!

Persephenee:
I knew we'd win.
Zidane's doing a nice job,knew this season has been bad but what team to break barca's streak other than the best in the world MADRID!

But pardon my objection, ma'am. Madrid isn't the best this season. Maybe a couple of seasons ago.

Elxandre:
Meaning what

Just carry your yeye ghost outta here before I call Lala to sentence your monikers.

If I check am well now na Chelsea or Arsenal fan!

Meaning you should go back to sleep.
You don't scare me.

Persephenee:
I knew we'd win.

How!!! What gave you such belief? Your team has been far from impressive most of the season. Even on managerial level, there is still uneasiness. CR7 did alot of damaging blunders on and off the pitch. The teams spirit is low. They've not won any laliga big matches so far this season. Barca on the other hand was doing just the opposite.

Where then did your belief spring from?
Don't tell me you just had a hunch.

Persephenee:
More 3 points,
though they are 3rd in the league still.

I thought you'd treat yourself to some drinks after the victory. Don't tell me you expected madrid to win before the match started.

Elxandre:
What's all this nonsense on this thread now?

You guys just had to keep me scrolling just to read what I came here to read about; El classico.

Who makes small talk with women on a football thread

This makes no sense man!

Go back to bed!

Persephenee:
Ok

So now that madrid won, what's changed?

Persephenee:
Persephenee Diplomacy?

'Cos na!
That wasn't the real answer to my question. But a way of answering without actually answering. I know you're a christian before I asked.

But let's not beat over it. We'll talk about it some other time.

Persephenee:
I'm a christian

Ok. That was some Persephenee-diplomacy.
We might talk about it some other time, should the need arise.

Persephenee:
Schooling.
Went to Anglican schools all through even spent 3 years in an Anglican Convent.
Thats why most people say I sound or act the way I do.

That would be some long story to tell. I see dozens of questions springing up in my head already. But I'll leave that for later today, if I'll find you, that is.

Do you take your faith seriously?
None of my biz, but there's a reason I ask.

Persephenee:
He's indifferent on the issue.

So how did you find your way to Anglican and not catholic?

Persephenee:
He said he wasnt close to his dad and didnt want the same with his kids.
But he and I are closer.

Hmmm! That's a good man!

Persephenee:
Yes

Like it should be.

So Anglican won over catholicism in your home?
Was the little difference so much of a concern to your dad?

Persephenee:
Lol
He said "think like a man,act like a woman,then you'd become a smart lady"

I can wager my good naira that you both are very close.

joseph1832:
LOL. Nicely said. In admitting your faults and frailty, I take it you're not among the hypocrites who wear the garment of christianity, just so they can have access to mess with people's beliefs and opinions. Lol.

Persephenee:
How did you know!
People say I'm like him,never backing down on an argument.
I'm more of his alter ego...LOL

It's easy to tell if a girl takes after her dad. They are normally smarter. And sometimes they have interests and knowledge about things above the average woman.

It's easy to tell.
Though most of them are feminist-prone. Yours was a pleasant, surprising, well received twist.

joseph1832:
Those are the worse. Engaged many when I was still imprisoned in a formal classroom. These set of parents can be gut wrench annoying. I crossed words with so many of them back then...

Hmmmm! Well, parenting is a full time job. And it has little to do with the ability to produce sperm meeting a ripe egg. One has to be mentally and psychologically prepared.

Persephenee:
Mom was catholic,
dad fought to marry her 'cause they had one Rev Sister and two Rev Fathers in the family.

What a battle that no doubt would have been! Obviously, your dad won! A tough man no doubt. And has transferred so much of his talent to you.

joseph1832:
Hmm. It seem we have a Jedi in our midst. Tell me, how many midi chlorian life form do you have in your blood? LOL.

Ewo! I'm no jedi. I'm a practicing christian. With all my faults and frailty, I take the Christian GOD and MESSIAH very seriously.

Persephenee:
Lol

Ok

But don't get me wrong. Most of the time you'd find me in a catholic parish on Sundays. Tomorrow today being NO exception.

joseph1832:
Hmmm. All the same, they all bear the proof/fruit of failed upbringing and failed parenting.

Yes o! Even some sit at home mothers and dads can be terrible. They allow their young children little restrictions to TV programmes.

Persephenee:
Which are you?

I'm a Christian. I can walk into any good church if I sense the presence of the HOLY SPIRIT.

I seem to have a mind of my own.
