A pastor who takes tithe is stealing.
Read Malachi 3, and understand that tithing:
a) as charged God never took any man.
b) The tithe was paid in oil, grains, but never in cash or jewelry.
c) In Malachi 3, God punishes the Levitical priests with tithing, because those priests had stolen from God.

Go to heaven or not is not something you buy with tithing.
Avoid those pastors thieves ... do not let you steal it.
My respects.

proo212: No, I am not mad or hurt. You're definitely wrong on that front. If you're not an atheist, may I ask what you believe in? You definitely do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ nor do you believe in Allah and his apostle. That much is clear from your posts

Off-topic.
That you are not interested.

.

ijawkid: This is no sacrifice what not....

This is total annihilation my bro....

Human governments wiLl be wiped out by Jesus...

Read 1 corinthians 15:24......

Why??

Because these earthly kingdoms are of d devil the ruler and GOD of this world....

So obama already knows where he stands.....

They are not human sacrifice? Read the Bible ... then opine ...

Regarding Obama ... what you wrote is totally off topic.
What happens to you?
Your unhealthy fanaticism allows you to follow a thread?
You are threatening Obama? lol!
Do not go to church much, it seems that it is causing you mental problems ... seek a psychiatrist.
My respects.

Option 1: Obama was intoxicated.
Option 2: This is part of the permanent American circus.

Just ridiculous.

odumchi: It's sad that many Africans today continue to believe that they are inferior to Europeans one every aspect. This reminds me of the "The White Man's Burden" and also of your signature.

My prayer is that Africa wakes up before it's too late because mental colonialism is worse than actual colonialism.

Dear Brother:
Each of his words have great depth.
I'm sure one day not so distant, all (or most) of Africans will realize that.
I think this kind of threads are important ... not to ridicule other ideas, but to open minds ... reason ... to think.
I have always said that Africa will awaken one day ... and do it in the hands of their children!
I greatly respect you!

Fulaman198: You are right sir, and perhaps I made a bad example by using sports, for that I am sorry. But other things like media, dress, fashion, Africans (Nigerians especially) are borrowing a lot if not too much from the West.

Hello dear friend.
Always a pleasure to greet you!
That's what I meant. There are thousands of examples of cultural penetration, and imitation, which may be a much clearer example than the game.
That imitation exists even in the ceremonies, birthdays, baptisms, the name given to children ... in idiomatic phrases, in the "Halloween" ... at the Christmas dinner ... Anyway ... the list is endless.
This is not only a problem of Africa ...

Warm regards dear friend!

PAGAN 9JA:
because Yoruba religion is admittedly more famous than any of our traditional faiths.

Greater knowledge of the Yoruba religion in the Americas, is because the Yoruba were one of the last people to be enslaved. A few years after the arrival in America of the early Yoruba, began the process of abolition of slavery.
For this reason, the Yoruba still kept "fresh" religious knowledge (and traditions), meanwhile, other ethnic groups in America, and had endured for many decades the prohibition of their traditions.

Very respectfully, I do not think that respect is a matter of skin color. This thread shows a lot of white people in reprehensible attitudes ... there are also black with these attitudes ...
I know whites, who are part of traditional religion in America, and I can assure that they do so with respect enviable.

In any case, if we read the article, and analyze the charge of Iyanifa (Iyaonifá), that cultural and religious mess is not due to the whites, but by Prof. Abimbola Walde; representative yurubá culture in the Diaspora. ..
A black spot not only in religion but in culture.
However, I have not felt that nobody complains about Abimbola.

Finally, thank God traditional religions do not segregate, as do Christians and Muslims ...
Traditional religions promote peace, equality and love among all members.

Finally, I will not answer some comments Christian fanatics, which enter the forum to vent their sexual and social frustrations.
My respects.

Dear friend:
It is a broad topic.
In some countries, the African-American culture (if indeed it exists) is the sum of different African cultures, adapted also to a different medium. For example, it is unthinkable cooking with palm oil in countries that lack this product ...
In other countries, historical questions, each ethnic group has kept alive their particular traditions.
But actually, there is an African-American culture (when I say "American" I mean not only the United States, but the three Americas).
African American culture that covers all aspects of social and have been rescued since the days of slavery.
My greetings to all!

Christians and Arabs, say they came to Africa to "civilize" the savages "....
Irony!

That baby is angry ...
Mhhhhh why?
Olaa .... you would have grown the nose ...

proo212: You like to come across as very intelligent atheist but you obviously do not know your history and politics.

You lost, sir!
I'm not an atheist ... you showed your ignorance in front of everyone.
The Jewish people have historically been a slave, invasive, and tramples the rights of others.
I am sorry that you've mad ... what I said is true.
Although you hurt.
My respects.

dorox: even though he never saw fit to lift a finger when he was subjected to an even worse insult and torture,

The bible says that Jesus died pleading and begging his father not to leave him ...
But that's a minor issue ... of course!

When hanblamos of "imitation" or influence, do not think it correct to speak of sports.
Each sport may have an origin, but it belongs to everyone ...
The soccer was invented by the English, but does not belong to them.
Basketball is also played throughout the world ...
All countries practice all sports.
I think the thread is being distorted with that ... there are much clearer examples of imitation, or cultural penetration.

My respects to all.

OLAADEGBU: I neither support Obama nor Romney if that will suffice. You still haven't answered my question, are you a Christian? if not you are not qualified to know whether Obama is a Christian or not.

Olaa ...
1. No need to be gay to know what significxa be homosexual. You've thought about homosexuality in other threads ... Are you gay?

2. You do not support one or the other?
Mhhhh Olaa, friend ... remember that lying is a sin!

He has grown his nose to you ....

proo212: You and I know Allah is full of hate for the Jews and unbelievers.

Lying to us is a sin.

So ...

OUT OF PALESTINE!

Dear friend Odumchi.
In Africa and America, the colonists were careful to save appearances.
The barbaric acts were hidden, as a way to "civilize" the "savages." Thus, the invaders were the "good guys" and the slaves were those who also had to thank ...
Something very sadistic.
That was the speech, and we can even understand that the world has so agreed ... What I find unacceptable is that they end up enslaved themselves believing that lie.
Westernization is civilization?
Western civilization is one of the many civilizations ... To that civilization as a model by other people is really a self-genocide.
Adopt Western ways, by the African people, even more deeply involved in the crisis of African identity. A crisis of identity caused just by the colonizers.
I fully share your thoughts, dear friend ...
Meanwhile, the unfortunate intervention of @ TPIA, shows us that unfortunately there are people who feel "civilized" by the West ... is something pathetic!
What did the West was the exact opposite ... acculturate continents, and impose their traditions of violence and immorality.
My affectionate greeting, dear friend!

Y. .. Jesus drove from the temple with a whip to the merchants ...
All the merchants of religion should be flogged in a public square! Resume whom 1,500 lashes with religion.

Seja bem vinda querida irma Mariana.
Um abraço de vosso amigo uruguaio!

amor4ce: Come now, and let us reason. Obama or no Obama, the US government has engaged in violence and other acts of rebellion against Olodumare, and many people have been deceived by that nation into supporting and engaging in same. Considering the fact that there are so many christian denominations, doctrines etc, which lens can be used to see whether or not Obama is a Christian? Even those who worship Lucifer at Lucis Trust call on Christ.

What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander - the same metrics you used to conclude that I have been drumming up the beats of propaganda and conspiracy theories, when applied to yours cannot reveal otherwise. Many times the Son of Olodumare reasoned with His people, and such conversations were recorded in the Bible via the mouths of His prophets and directly in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, for our benefit. Remember also that He warned us that when some people say that people should go this way or that, 'Do not believe', that we should not let such people shove their beliefs down our throats. Hence, we should reason. Those who opposed Him could not counter and counter His Message but spitefully condemned Him; you have been doing likewise even though others have tried reasoning with you earlier.

Let the dead (people who reject reason) bury the dead (people who reject reason).

I am 100% agree with you.
It is not the president, but United States policy.
Regardless of who the president will continue to exist Guantanamo will continue invading Arab countries, will continue killing, torturing and raping in the name of God and peace.
Olaa Ajjjjj and that only wants to blame Obama ...
Pffffffffff

ijawkid: The Jesus I know will come to destroy all human ,political set ups.......

Thank u!!!!!!!

That god who destroys everything reminds me Javeh ... who demanded human sacrifice, sent plagues and ordered razing entire villages and kill ...
That (his god) is a vengeful god ... bad ... that kills its own children ...
I do not understand why then you criticize Obama ...
As you say, Obama is a faithful servant of this god ...

trillville: @potolomeus, God loves all homosexuals ( at least to the best of my knowledge). It is the sin of homosexuality which he hates like any other sin such as fornication or murder. Whether you are a Christian or not, as a civil person you need to respect other people's beliefs. As a Christian I believe that my lord Jesus never committed any sin such as lying or even stealing. So any depiction of Jesus committing sin completely goes against my faith and belief not just the depiction of Jesus as being gay. Please join me and other well meaning nigerians to prevent such an atrocity as the viewing of this movie from taking place on our mother land.
By the way you mentioned that Jesus had long hair, have you ever seen Jesus?

Dear friend.
How ironic ... The only people who have seen Jesus, are losw pastors who say they were anointed by him, and allowed to collect tithes, lol.
You read the Bible, and have a picture of Jesus ...
Of course, that the purpose of the Bible does not cover sexual orientation of Jesus, whatever they are.
You are saying that being gay is like being a murderer?
Well ... I beg to differ with you and your bigotry.
I'll ask something ... are you black? are you Jewish?
You like it discriminate? I guess not ... So, do not discriminate against others. I'm not gay, but life has taught me to respect all human beings ... Do you also, even though you have a morbid fanaticism.
I strongly agree with the exhibition of that film, it provides elements and views.
I do not think that a good Christian stopped loving Jesus, whether or not homosex.ual.
My respects.

israel ben-zion:
I have read history books, o Great Historian and Scholar Acclaimed, and found none. Let me borrow from storehouse of knowledge, you that studied in school, so that I may know. If you know these facts in earnest, share and let the world bear witness.
But if u won't share, then I'm justified in thinking u ignorant!

Thanks for calling me ignorant.
You are very polite ...
I remind you, that the Arabs were the first to enslave Africans.
As for the Jews ... simply (I repeat), read a history book, or perhaps the Bible, and get the answer.
I congratulate you because you are one historian ... emmmmmmmmmm just a question ... the title of historian you won in a lottery, right?
My respects.

We must not disciminar, homosexuals deserve the same respect as everyone else.
If Jesus was gay, that does not make better or worse ...
Paul said that man should not wear long hair ... and Jesus was ... There is evidence ...
I think it would be logical if we think that all the time Jesus shared with his disciples ...
Nothing is wrong with that ... The movie should be banned ...

My friend Olaa : I'll answer for you ... 1. I, Olaa, acknowledge that I am attacking Obama for political reasons because I am in favor of Mormon, and my only intention is to discredit Obama ... 2. I, Olaa, I am not a supporter of Mormon non-Christian who is an opponent of Obama. Then we have, Answer 1: Olaa ... What you did is very ugly. It is not worthy of a Christian. In addition, you lied, and that is sin ... Answer 2: Olaa ... You dare to say this publicly? Or if you do I'd be lying and sinning? We see that whatever their answer, their position is not comfortable. You dare to publicly acknowledge your true intentions?.

You have already expressed their admiration for the criminal Regan!
You are republican Olaa ...

I'm still your friend, and I appreciate you!

Rossikk: Question: Who Was Yahweh?

Answer: 'a murderous, jealous, angry, misogynistic, homophobic, insecure, racist tyrant, who passes for a loving god to billions of blind humans.'

Discuss

Few praise for those who actually demanded human sacrifices, spreading pests, encouraged adulterers, and ordered to annihilate entire peoples ...
My greeting!

israel ben-zion:
Who did they enslave, pray tell?

Take a history book and read ...
The culture and information are always good ...
I regret that you have not studied in school ...

Yes, the demons know the alliance they have with the Pastors ...

PAGAN 9JA:
ah i see. because i see lots of Ifa Priestesses these days. sometimes even outnumbering the men.

in our Hausa Religion, in Yam Bori practices, it s always done by females.

http://www.suppressedhistories.net/articles/borimagadja.jpg

Dear friend:
I could write several books on this subject.
In South America, the first to win laliberad were women.
That was because in us free time, they sold their meals, their suburbs .. and managed to buy with that money or free, and then of their husbands.
For this reason, it is not surprising that the first priestesses of the cult in South America, have been women .. but not in the cult of IFA! ...
I have not much information on the Hausa cult, but it is very logical that onsome cases are exclusively women who perform it.
The priestesses of the cult of Iya mi Osorongá , are also exclusively women. You and I understand, which do not fit about discrimination, but of different energies ...
The picture you posted is beautiful ... touching!

Always a pleasure to talk to you, dear friend!

http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iy%C3%A1_Nass%C3%B4

(Excuse me, that the article is in Portuguese)

The Bible, and in general many Jewish -Christian doctrines, have to menstruation as "unclean."
If we look at seriously, this period is actually a reaffirmation of the fertility of women ... that is, one of the most beautiful evidence that the woman is in a fertile period. Fertility is inseparable with the fact of giving life to another being ... and this is possibly one of the most wonderful things in life.
Nothing, then, "impure" in the period ...
That concept is one more link, of a long chain of discrimination suffered by women in religions which make of repression and fear, a form of domination.
I send warm greetings!

Muslim and Jews share the same root ...
Both are slavers.

@rolaake; @PAGAN
Mo juba!
Dear brethren.
Believe me, that to me is not easy to write this post ...
You know well my position on religion ...
But in honor of ethics, I must state the following:
1. In Yoruba tradition, the degree of Babalawo is exclusively male. That's not a matter of discrimination but a woman can not look directly into eyes lso Odu.
2. The role of women in the cult of IFA, is to Iyapetebí, whose function is essential, but it can not perform divination.
3. There Mamalawó term. and has never existed.
4. And the '80s, some Babalawos tried to institutionalize babalawo Iyaonifá degree (for women), with the sole purpose of financial compensation.
5. Initial statements by Professor Wande Abimbola, were to the contrary, disavowing the actions of the babalawo, and declaring the pollock of Iyaonifa nonexistent.
6. Due to pressure from UNESCO, on alleged discrimination against women in Africa, Professor Wande Abimbola change your mind, and officially accepted the position of Iyaonifá, wiping his assh, ancient traditions and foundations of the Yoruba religion.
Wande Abimbola was (and I suppose still is) the representative of the Yoruba religion abroad (Diaspora) and opinion (unfortunately) it's official.
This is the official reality. Even if it hurts.
That sir, is responsible for this mess in history.
The head is him, and gave inept that office, and seconded those decisions, serving exclusively the economic (profit) to the detriment of the traditions and foundations.
I hope nobody is offended, and I hope you understand that it is not easy for me to have made this exhibition.
