wiccawicca:1. Off-topic. 2. That is a religion or a financial system? 3. Thanks for wanting to give me money, but I'd rather earn it honestly, with my work, as I did before. 4. Buy faithful does not seem the most ethical way , These are just a few comments that I could not avoid. I avoid making further comments in respect to other members. Find your inner peace find it. |
OLAADEGBU:estimate: You should respect the Bible, which says so much love. You should know that removing phrases from context is not ethical. If you want to talk about tithing, do so in the context of the Old Testament. Read Malachi 3 to 3.10 and you will understand that tithing was established by God for the Levite priests, who stole their offerings. The tithes are set for the children of Levi, not to the Gentiles. You understand that these offerings to the God of the Old Testament were in oils, grains and animals, which were burned in the holocaust to God. Did not give money to God, no pastor was enriched at the expense of others. You cite the Bible with respect. Do not try to put you in the mouth of God what was not said to justify their support for the tithe. The Bible does not say that. You defend your thinking ethically. My respects! |
I have read a lot about some versions that link to Yoruba with Israel. Also with the black pharaohs of Egypt. I never found any serious evidence of his association with one or the other. I prefer to study Yoruba culture, Hausa (African in general) without getting into a fruitless search, which only leads to "believe or not believe." I did not remove value to your position, but I think there are many things to "rediscover" and retrieve the old traditions, and that's what I give more importance. There are much more qualified opinions than mine here. My greetings! |
Habinger:My friend. It's not a competition. It is incorrect to quote passages tendentiously changing its content. Just this passage does not say what is stated. goshen360:"of false prophets use a medium such as crystal ball, tarot card, Ouija board, zodiac and so forth to access hidden things though the help of a familiar spirit (Jeremiah2: ."Read what was given as Jeremiah 2.8 crystal ball, tarot card, Ouija board, zodiac and so forth to access hidden things though the help of a familiar spirit (Jeremiah2: ![]() ![]() .Please!!!!. This is not a competition, but it is unethical to quote passages with such rude and biased errors. thanks My respects. |
Habinger:Jeremias 2.8 "The priests said not, "Where is the LORD?" and those with the law knew me not; the pastors also transgressed against me; the prophets prophesied by Baal and walked after things that do not profit." Mhhhhh Special translation, right? |
I also was never stolen, even on the street, on the bus, or my car , The difference is that I do not think that's God's protection , In my conception of God, understand that it is very big , too much to be dealing with those little things , Let us take care of us, that God has other things rather more important , Or do we think that you or I are the center of the universe to God is watching us? Please! I do not believe in a god that is so stupid all the time watching us not to rob us! I mean that. |
goshen360:Do not be angry. You know I have nothing personal with you. If you travel in a private car will not be either safe from being stolen. Neither god nor intuition avoid such things. Let's be a little logic , and that no means the end of each belief. I'm not an atheist, but give place to God, god is not not my slave , and I am a personal intuition its importance , Common sense please! |
Pastor AIO:Dear friend Pastor AIO. Who is fascinated me. I am Uruguayan, born here in America. Practice for many years the Yoruba religion. Since I am a very analytical person, and under the great distance between America and Africa, I always understood the theological issues vital to join the historical, cultural and traditional. That's why my interest on some issues and some knowledge of African issues. I am also a researcher of the implications for Africa and America slave traffic, and her reflection today. African traditions who moved to America in all its forms, etc. , I just hope not to be annoying, and I am willing to share all my humble knowledge with those interested. Thank you for your permanent kindness, knowledge and great education. I repeat their orders. wiccawicca:Right. Thank goodness, then, we have been enlightened and now we have you, with deep knowledge and enlighten us all. Forward dear sir! |
Strange that a preacher does not appear afraid of speaking of the devil, when no one in this thread has said , |
My friend Christian reading the Bible. About 10 chapters a day. Always paid his tithe, as well as economic collaboration with the Pastor. Yesterday I said that two weeks ago he lost her job, and yesterday he left his wife. That will be a divine test, or will be a punishment for having contributed only 10% of their salary and not have given it all to the pastor? |
Prophecy, divination, magic , Some guess which team will win a soccer tournament , Others turn water into wine to drink with abandon at a wedding , Sometimes it is difficult to find a prophet in all , |
I do not think a person should be guided solely by intuition. The intuition without logic leads to disaster. I do not think stealing a person on the bus for lack of intuition, but maybe that is within the possibilities. They are life situations, in which neither god nor intuition have interference. goshen360:Honestly I can not believe I'm reading this!! I guess on that bus that had robbed all who believe in god NO!! Please say a little common sense to post. yes?? |
That's what I meant when I made my comment about Brazil. It is impossible for Brazil to have 181 languages!. Regarding your comment of the Yoruba, despite my status as a foreigner, I understand that if a claim from them, not that important language, but its historical origins, their common ancestors, traditions, and primarily because like many other African peoples were divided arbitrarily by Europeans, without regard to any item socio - cultural, historical or blood. I think these reasons by itself would already valid a claim for anyone. But it is my humble opinion, of course. My respects. |
odiaero:nine and half?? Broken bottle?? Spanish, French, Portuguese, Catalan and Galician. Some Italian. I do not speak English. |
Congratulations on your wonderful imagination, and ability to defend the indefensible. I advise you to read the Bible in its entirety and quote two passages not changing its essence. The tithe of the common people is not biblical. It is an invention of the pastors who want to live outside the law of God at the expense of fools. It's that simple. |
Pastor AIO:Exactly estimated Pastor AIO!. That was my question!, If Orisa is released directly Eledumaré or are ancestors. I heard many conflicting answers about it. Indeed, Sango is an example that makes the analysis more complicated inc. I have also studied, which in some cases, particularly in war, Alafin took the name of Orisa as their own. That idea always seemed the most serious. This shows the great mistake of those who consider Orisa as animist cult , Dear Pastor, I would greatly appreciate your cooperation, we agree completely on this issue! Thanks Apor kindness, warmth, and share healthy ideas. I am always at your service! |
BlackPikiN:Yes, dear friend. I live in Montevideo, Uruguay. I am at your service. Best regards! |
PA1982:Dear friend: I will directly. My post about football, it says nothing but who makes predictions about such banal topics as football or sport, is not nothing but a fool or a fraud. Sorry if someone is offended, but it is my opinion. |
Brazil 181 ![]() I would like to know what those 181 languages from Brazil!. I guess that also are including dialects , but in the case of Brazil really do not think so. |
dekung:Absolutely. I totally agree. |
My respects. I have said in another thread , There are sects that not only disqualify other beliefs, but who practice the "cult of fear." All that is different from them is demonic, is witchcraft , However, while promoting segregation, these sects end up being demonic practices, encouraging hatred between people. |
Honestly I do not understand some proposals , You hesitate to sell condoms to protect the health of people? You know how many people have AIDS in Nigeria for not adequately protected? Have you ever wondered if selling candy is right? For damage teeth and cause diabetes! Have you ever wondered whether to sell soft drinks is correct? many contain caffeine and acids very harmful! Do you sell bibles? The ink on the paper is highly polluting. I hope you understand me. |
solbil:Exactly my friend! They practice the regime of fear, and disqualification to others. They say that practitioners of traditional worshipers are witches and demons, but the real demons are they , I truly his words dear friend! An affectionate greeting! |
[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=48078.msg10311038#msg10311038 date=1330647669]@Ptolomeus, it's nice to have you on the forum. Please keep the comments coming and if you have questions about our own culture let us know. I know I'll have more questions for you and michelly when I have more time. Welcome bro.[/quote]Thank you very much for your kindness dear brother Kilode I asked a question on Orisa in this thread, (post 271) that no one has responded. If you can give me your opinion I would greatly appreciate it. I am available to answer about everything you want. I am extremely grateful! My best regards |
PA1982:I'm wondering if Joshua made that prediction Yes or no? You know the answer? |
MOI LOVINA:You say that tithing is for God? That's the best joke I've read in years!! You say that the tithe is 10% of salary? Where the Bible says so? You are a Christian? He knows that with the New Testament changed many things of old? You know that Christians do not accept more sacrifices or offerings or tithes? Jesus or his disciples ever took tithe? You read Malachi? I will not make this a biblical discussion, but I ask that when you do opine with foundations and not repeat without thinking about what his pastor says to appropriate money. |
Abagworo:Dear friend: I do not know if you mean to me. I am a foreigner. I do not speak of the African reality, but what happened in my country and in America. I can not comment on the issue of reparations, that is for the Africans. I simply commented that historical facts can not be denied. Please accept my greetings. BuffaloSoldier:Dear friend: I reiterate that I am a foreigner, and as such must respect the internal affairs of Africa. What you say is very true. Sometimes it seems that whoever is far from living a life in opulence, and forget the pain and suffering of all who lived. Only those who lived in slavery can understand that. Only a migrant knows what is the segregation and scorn. But they are all Africans in African blood in his veins, his ancestors are the same , I do not think there is contempt, and if I had I do not share. Let's call for unity, not division. Best wishes! |
Im being ironic. Only a lunatic or a fanatic can deny medicines to your mother and give the money to a pastor , I hope I was clear now. |
These things happen because of the constant preaching of certain sects, in which everything is witchcraft in the permanent threat of devil worship in fear and terror , We must become aware that there are sects lacking basic foundation, and that his only speech is to generate fear to gain followers. So great is the fear generated by those sects in certain people, you end up "killing witches" which of course are not such. The article mentions that some pastors asked for help , I do not imagine they would have done, in addition to charge for their fees. |
oludyke:If any, should be very few ministers who are able to do that , |
