Mat 23:23 Luke 18:12 Hebrews 7:1-28 Luke 11:42 Matthew 5:17-20.

Read.


Out of 12, there was one Judas. So you can't because of the judases brand every true man of God with despicable names.

Do you know how much is sunk into TV programs the true ones hold? touching lives in places even in the Arab world? Do you know how much world wide missionary missions cost?

Have any idea how properties are bought all over the world to bring the gospel closer and enrich lives?
Do you know how many millions of lives are been affected by scholarships of these missions?

Like i said earlier, only the wolf among the sheep eat church money. The good ones know better than to touch such.


Btw, if oil companies can pay their workers heavy salaries, is it the almighty God, owner of the heavens and earth that can't take major care of his own? Isn't this an insult on his person?

So you prefer pastors to live like church rats, begging politicians and making a mockery of the mandate committed into their hands? Smh


All these fights are from the pit of hell and as you so well know, the gates of hell cannot prevail against God's true church.

Don't be a willing instrument neither b4 you cut short your destiny.

did paul beg politicians, did peter beg, did elijah and elijah beg the idolatrous kings of israel. The early christian church had more tribulations and adversity than now and their missionary work has been unparralled, did theu resort to these wanton greed for peoples wealth. Did they rely on defective teachings so as to expand their ministry and do outreach. They believed the whole body of christ followers are a royal priesthood and therefore no one was to live a kings life because he is a deacon or bishop, but there should be an equalizing and things shared equally amongst all when the need arises.

[quote author=fejikudz post=62129231][/quote]awesome and brilliant composition.

let me support you with more bible verses. let those who are rich in this system not be proud or rest their hope on uncertain riches, but to work at good, rich in fine works, ready to share... 1 tim 6. 17 to 19.
luke 18:24 and 25, it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Gods kingdom.

deut 28.12 and 13, GOD will open up to you his storehouses and bless every deed of your hand and you will lend to many nations while you will not borrow, you shall be the head and not the tail and on top not the bottom IF YOU KEEP OBEYING THE COMMANDMENTS OF YOUR GOD.

why dont they quote this verse instead of malachi if they want God to open his storehouses for his people. this verse is more comprehensive, more encompassing and has more promises and has no time lapse. If you pay tithes or make offerings or donate 100 percent but go on disregarding Gods law, maltreating your househelp, cheating on your wife, other sexual immorality, gambling etc and this has become a way of with no remorse and turning around , then it is fa fa fa, fao. zero.

The Old Testament say we should pay tithe and the New Testament supported it by referring us to the tithe Ibrahim paid to Melchizedek.

Hebrews 7;
1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

paul was argueing the superiority of Jesus priesthood to that of the jewish levitical system. He is letting them know that the priesthood of the jews plus the law covenant and the tithes and sabbaths and all its temple arrangement is no longer necessary and it is inferior to that of Jesus. so christians are no longer obligated to observe the jewish system of worship and all attached to it. Secondly Abraham voluntarily gave a tenth of the spoils he was not obligated to do so. he never gave tithes out of his own earnings or property, he gave 10 percent out of war spoils to the priest because he just wanted to but the real deal is he gave 90 percent or all the remaining to a pagan king, the king of sodom and gomorrah. Now how is that a precedent for xtian tithing. He did it just once. Then the israelites do not pay tithe on the sabbath year, because there is no earning for them that year. There is also two types of tithes one they give to the priests and levites it is strictly for the priests and levites. the other tithe the tither share with his family, share with levites fatherless boys widows. This is the tithe they travel with for their annual celebrations/festivals and which they can convert to money and use to buy food and alcohol and generally have a happy time with each other. Then when the tithe is coverted to money, it comes with an extra charge of one fifth of the tithe. so the total monetary value of the tithe is now more than 10 percent. All these were abolished by the law of the christ. if abrahamic tithing which is not a tithe in the real sense of the word predates the mosaic law and is therefore obligatory for christian, abel noah abraham job all did animal sacrifices for the atonement of sins, why are christians not obligated to offer animal sacrifices. Christ was the end of law, the law that compusoried tithing, circumcision, sabbath, animal sacrifices, etc

I just can't believe animals show gay tendencies

you have not read enough. It is the animal kingdom. dont carry over human morality or conscience over there

Student125:
What u don't get is, if not for d brainwash they won't be paying. they have been exposed to d wrong info since infant and so it has become part of them. that's y I said they have no choice of their own. Now that what they hear contradict what they grew up to believe, they don't want to admit they've been fooled for long that's y their two line of defense(Malachi, and Abraham paying once war benefit) are weightless. The reason they attack the messenger instead of them to prove d message wrong.
Like I said, religion is indoctrination and can never be compared with gadget.
Sure, nobody will force anybody to pay or not but the facts are there for d intelligent to c.

No mind them. Did Abel not make animal sacrifice to atone for sin, noah did it after the flood, abraham sacrificed animals, job was always doing it for all his children. Did all that animal sacrifice not predate the law covenant, why are pastors no asking us to continue with the animal sacrifice. The tithes for the levites and animal sacrifices are part of the old temple arrangement and has been replaced by the law the christ. The pastors are sticking with the one that lines their pocket.

these idiots will be praising fela up and down, that he spoke the truth about government corruption and oppression. Did they forget that he spoke about religious leaders oppressing the people by using the so called tithes to live a larger than life lifestyle. They sieve the message and accept what pleases them. The tithes is the payment by the sheeple for outsourcing their spiritual life to pastors. Sin galore monday to saturday, sunday praise and and worship, pay tithes and repeat the process forever. hardly do anyone care to develop their spiritual life by actually searching the scriptures and putting on the new personality as christians. You cant bribe God, it was tried by others, to obey is better than sacrifices and tithes.

Lols Herr Schindler used the Schindlerjuden to save his neck and escape prosecution as a war profiteer and a nazi. After the war he lived off the fat of his jews. A con man he was up to death.

Speer too saw the end coming and tried to whitewash his personal history. Even Hans Frank was contrite in the end. Don't you remember Franz Halder, who also had his little antihitler plot when he was kicked out of the OberKomando des Heeres?

In the end every faithless nazi betrayer was part of one plot or the other to save their necks from the allies.

For every Speer and Schindler there were ten Himmlers, Mengeles, Heydrichs, Goeths, Eichmanns.

The untermensch are wrecking the world. The glories of the past are sought now in nostalgic dreams....all this political correctness and libertarian and feminist nonsense is driving the world to the brink of final catastrophe.

Transgender, cis-gender, gay rights, LGBTQ, race equality....what filth!

Purity of blood! The strong shall dominate the weak, the infirm, the lowly sub species.

Never in the history of humankind had subhumans ever raised a glorious empire. And they never shall, lacking the requisite intelligence and genetic endowments to supersede their maggot existence.

Lebensraum is coming...

Winter is coming.

Behold the rise of the eagle....as the phoenix arose from the glorious ashes of its experience!.

(PS: anyone who takes this seriously does so at their peril)

lololol, with the mention of the likes of mengele, a disclaimer is absolutely necessary.

WaffenSS:
All the great empires of history arose to greatness on the skulls and bones of the weak.

And all such empires decline and fall either from treachery within, or compassion for sub species of the human race.

The Kaiser listened to Bismarck and not the likes of Hindenburg...look where it led him.

The fuhrer went the way of the Mongols, in fulfilment of the Superman of Nietzsche's dreams....and he cowered the world and built a society of pure breds...one in which knowledge and science and the arts florished, the benefits of which are still enjoyed today.

The mistake of 1942 has been learned. Nazis are rising again to defeat the evil bourgeoisie empire foisted by britain and the US financed with the lucre of the zionists.

America is already on a shaky foundation; europe is being splintered by the cries of independence, former communist allies are making their might felt....

The world is in the dawn of a renaissance that will usher in the demise of the libertarians....their capitalist sponsors...and international jewry.

Our symbols grace the streets of Charlottesville.....already the swastika and eagle are adorning many rallies in the US.

From within the bloated contraption will fall.

Blut und ehre!

Nazism in US is only rising on the shoulders of a comedian and the buffoon himself will not have the last laugh let alone those who are attached to his apron strings. Have you ever wondered why there is no longer great empires of yore, the weak and subspecies have also arosen and are ready to bring down any such monstrous empires. The saboteurs from within will still exist, the foolish and selfish demagogues that often assume powers in such realms will still remain the same. people like albert speer who nearly blew up the fuhrer to curb his madness, people like schindler, and countless ss men who could not continue the savagery. Such evilcan rise but they wont last long.

WaffenSS:
Nazis didn't exist in the 1st world war. The Kaiser failed because he was an ass.

In WW2 it was a gangup organized and financed by international jewry and its capitalist mercenaries.

We brought the world to its knees. But we were also betrayed by Goering and the Reichsfuhrer, elements of the wehrmacht, and the kriegsmarine.


If that drug addict Reichsmarschal Goering hadn't been an ass the luftwaffe would've dealt the endstempel to the RAF and finished off cocky britain


Zum teufel! We shall still rise again!

Already home grown jewish flat heads quiver in their filth before the might of the coming Fourth Reich!

Deutschland Uber Alles in Die Welt!

Then history will repeat itself again and Germany will fall again until all skinheads get some sense into their skull. The foolishness that makes Germany engulf Europe in the first war, made them repeat it a second time. The flame of nazism was breathe to life from the ashes of ww1 and it would be extinguished if it rears its ugly head again. The bigotry that makes people believe others are subhuman will never let them excel.

Hi Chief,

Please i need 12v rechargeable drill

These old men should at least start speaking the truth now. They were unprepared and they tried pacifying ojukwu and therefore agreed to a lot of things and later realized, they have relinquished too much power to the regional governors.

THEN northern soldiers absolutely and totally were involved in the killing of southerners, though they hesitated initially but governor katsina unleashed the soldiers and restrained their commanding officer shuwa from stopping the soldiers

how is his name uti correctly pronounced

next salah now, some people go leave meat dey run after the horn.

CuteMadridista:
No doctrine is biblical because "The bible" begs the question - which bible? There are many diverse and different, confused and internally contradictory editions of the bible that can be traced back as being written by men from the 4th century onward.
The oldest bible "Codex Sinaiticus" was written by a team of four men in the late 4th century and is significantly different to those we know today.

Secondly, the Bible is the world's longest-running, most widely respected, and least reliable Rorschach Test. You can look in it and see anything you want to see, find anything you want to find, justify any pre-ordained conclusion you prefer, or validate any prejudice — because the Bible has it all: love, hate; revenge, redemption; war, peace; slavery, freedom; humility, arrogance; kindness, cruelty; etc

so yeah, nobody is following the bible, its actually impossible due to several contradictory things there

what you dont know is always a mystery

This is becoming a nightmare all over the [color=#550000][/color]country. I hope the present government is not trying to introduce a viral infection,which they will later claim to overcome for 2019 elections. Lets kick this clueless government out and if possible lets every entity of this geographical mistake go their separate ways. My thought.

NOTE : I am in my house,bubu come and beat me

i hope you are not a doctor. so a govt will release a virus to its own populace. so where would the govt go, the soldiers doing the infecting, are their kids not in schools, their relatives nko, how do yiu control the infection after it has become epidemic. The epidemic infecting this nation is foolishness.

TheKingIsHere:
Thanks for this.

That means it was olaudah fellow igbomen that sold him into slavery?

Hmm. Am learning today.

you have a lot to learn, if you dont know that it is people of the same tribe/race that mostly sells themselves to outsiders. in fact sometimes stubborn children are sold by their parents.

NafeesaAA:
There are always two side to every story, while we all are sharing pictures of victims of Killer Herdsmen in Miango Bassa LGA, the Fulani Community are also sharing their own victims which was the trigger that led to this senseless killing in the first place.

Note, am not condoling any killing, but as a Fulani girl, our story shouldn't be swept under the carpet.

Thanks for sharing. But a lot of questions have been asked by people here with no response. Hard decisions need to be made. While it is the way of life and culture for the fulanis, the competition for resources requires that strategy needs to change. The fulani needs to ranch up and we southerners need to start rearing cows too, its a good business. By the time the fulani gets to the south and sees that his cows are more expensive than local ones here, he would reconsider the whole journey next time.

TheKingIsHere:
I love this. I remember discussing with ngozi123 that igbos or can we say some igbos came from Benin kingdom.. .she denied. This was on a previous thread some time ago. One other guy called hammerT was her back up.

Now, here is some one who is a great man, all of a sudden it is agreed that igbos right from Onitcha down to asaba migrated from Benin kingdom.

This argument is just based on history but my greatest disappointment is that some people who don't have anything reasonable to say will tag it to hatred.

Dont put everyone in the same box. no one here is an ancestor, we are just trying to get as much as we can from a very distant past. There are still debates even among ibos as to how strong and the extent ofBenin influence. no one can know for sure. Olauda statements can be taken for what he has said without having to bring in other argument here. He is ibo in a village that has a nominal benin influence, that is not hard to accept and he cant ever say that if he was a benin man or if he is from etsako.

TheKingIsHere:
This is the problem with most people that why the country is stagnant. Anybody that has a contrary opinion must be from the other tribe.

I posted a Wikipedia article which was exactly similar with the picture you posted. You claimed that Wikipedia isnt reliable. I asked you to post your own credible source, till now we have been hearing stories.

The man might be igbo, he might be Edo or not. The writing in the article isn't enough to decide, however my greatest surprise is that some people are ready to accept that igbos were under the Benin Kingdom even when they have argued against it with me in the past. Same way i told an Edo lady here that igbos share similarities with them right from the past.. She disagreed.

If this guy was a criminal, everyone will deny him.

Hasty generalization and sweeping accusations, so because a lady disagreed with you then everybody shares her view. IBORI and IGBINEDION are criminals and their people have not shipped them elsewhere. Anini probably the most famous thief in Nigeria is from igieduma, no one has denied him his place. Evans from the east and a host of others. Everything he said about himself shows without doubt that he is an ibo man

TheKingIsHere:
Typical.. .As usual you tag it to hatred for igbos.. Anyone that has a different view hates igbos right?

If olaudah was a criminal, am sure all of you will say he is from Edo state since he mentioned Benin kingdom? You like to twist things to suit yourself.

Someone argued that he had the account of olaudah, I requested for it so I can read and accept, till now he hasn't provided it but I should just accept whatever he says?

if you have contrary opinion why dont you post your evidence too. As a Benin man i want to know why you are hellbent on making him a benin man.

TheKingIsHere:
Thanks for this. Maybe you should have been the one to have replied all along than some who cant say anything apart from accusations and insults.

But is Wikipedia a credible source? Am surprised because others have said it is not credible.

you sir are very exasperating and infuriating. what else do you want to be told.

IfeanyiYagazie:
Hey bro. U're been economical wit the truth here ok lets assume what u'r sayin is true what did the etsako people do that made them to be attack when they'r numerous other tribes in the midwest bthat weren't attacked.? Or a

History. Etsako used to be called kukuruku region. The sound of the cock was used to alert villagers during the slave trade to the invasion by northern slave drivers, the whole region was nearly overrun getting into northern ishan almost getting to Ekpoma. The Oba of Benin army eventually came and drove them back. In the meantime the Etsako region has embraced Islam and also imbibe some northern/islamic culture including names and many Hausas are settled there too. So the Biafran Army readily saw them as quasi or pseudo-northerners. Like I mentioned my maternal great-grandfather was nearly killed because he was a wizened old man with white flowing beards which to the Biafran Soldiers equates to Hausa especially since the my mothers village is in northern Ishan not far from Auchi.

diadem10:
Nope.

Not a communal fight. The midwestern region was quite peaceful and was a neutral ground during the civil war until Asaba brethren smuggled in their biafra brothers to attack the midwestern folks and foist their son on them. Funny enough, the Oba of Bini had been wary of the Asaba folks prior to the civil war. He had wanted them to join their brothers over the bridge because he had feared they would betray them which they did.

There is no justification for what the Nigerian Military did, you dont gather civilians and gun them down. I know the Biafran soldiers did similar things in Abudu, Benin and Calabar. My great-grandfather who was very old and had long white flowing beards was almost killed by Biafran soldiers who demanded that he should cut his beards to show he is not Hausa, this happened in Ukhun my mother's village very close to Ekpoma.
So i can imagine what happened to Etsako people who are predominantly muslims and have adopted much Islamic culture and also the large northern community there. It is also a fact that Murtala Mohammed is from Auchi by his father not mother, so hearing of such murders on a neutral Midwest might have caused so much consternation but it should have been directed towards the Biafran army.

This is a good initiative and very welcome. The Delta state government should have a monument to commemorate these victims but the least we can do is to talk about it. The danger in it is that some people can use it to invoke ethnic rage and stoke tensions which can lead to more death but the facts cannot be hidden.
Other victims too of the Biafran army invasion of Midwest should also be given a voice to speak also, people from abudu and auchi areas of Edo state who are predominantly muslims, people in Benin, Ishan, non-ibo speaking part of delta, people of Rivers , Calabar and other minorities in Biafra.
Everyone needs healing, even the Biafran army commanders that were falsely accused of being saboteurs and beaten or killed by their own soldiers, their names need to be cleared of such reproach.

You should be concerned about how morally degenerate Gowon became in wishing someone else to commit suicide

What do you call those who leave their comrades during the fight and run away...survivors abi

Gowon think about the consequences of ur action on ur children and the suffering that still awaits dem becos of ur evil deeds.

No evil deeds go unpunished.

That boy suffered for 25 years becos of u.

More of ur seeds will suffer similar faith and worst.

If not for Obama presidency, he was meant to die in Prison. He had already been condemned.

Think about that before u open ur smelling mouth to address the Igbo nation and by extension the Biafra nation again.

You are gloating over a boy who his father disowned and was raised by her igbo mother in the US. The boy is said to have rebelled to protest the flamboyant lifestyle of his mother. Instead of you to sympathize with the boy and mother, you are twisting the story to fit your narrative. Gowon has not cared about the boy for decades, why did the retribution not fall on someone he actually cares about. Ojukwu's children and widow have not been in agreement for decades, is that also a retribution of the war,

gidgiddy:
That is a stupid old saying from the dark ages that a Captain must go down with his ship.

Today, if a Ship is going down and the Captain hss done all he can to save the Ship to no avail, it makes no sense for the Captain to go down with the Ship when the Captains death wont change anything.

The only way forward was for him to surrender and end the war or declare a ceasefire and negotiate some terms again. Rather he handed over to his second-in-command, told him to carry on and then he ran away. That means continue the stress and pains of the war while i bail. So if the war had carried on for another 10 years, he would be safely tucked away. Why not surrender and then run away if he feels he is going to be killed.

Amarabae:
the jews tell their children of holocaust, why wouldnt an Igbo tell her kids of biafran war?

While the jews were not complicit in that matter, what happened before and during Biafra has igbos complicit in it. No one was a saint, they were all a bunch of disagreeable fellows. Both the Nigerian Army and the Biafran army were murderous.
