Ubenedictus:
even the passage you quoted clearly says the tithe for priest happens once every 3 years, and it isn't for the priest alone but be for both the levites the foreigners, the widows and orphans

I already learnt a lot from this. Thanks guys

anonimi:
This is not the sky, so stop dancing around the issue.
The Bible is clear about what tithe is.

I already updated my reply to Deutronomy. And you are the one choosing to see only a part of the scripture. I only answered the first part of the question by telling you the words of Christ Himself.

uyplus:
How does giving to a pastor equate to giving to God please? If you want to give to God, reach out to the least of his brothers. That's he commanded us to do. He said whatsoever you do to the least of my brother's, that you do unto me. It's only if you wanna take Jesus out of the God head, then giving to the down trodden won't equate to giving to God.

I stopped paying tithes ever since I read Deuteronomy 14 22 to 29.

What you are looking for is simple. When the poor widow gave all she had in the synagogue, Christ said she gave the most. That single comment recognizes that she did indeed give to God.

Concerning the Bible passage you quoted. If you do this, you are also right. But remember that there are bachelors too.
And don't forget the verses 27 to 29

And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.

28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Those last parts obviously mean that we should recognize the established priests. Abraham in his own time, recognized generously the priest of God very generously who blessed him greatly. Don't forget that this same Deutronomy was also watered down because of the people. Priests these days don't live the priests of the old days where one can comfortably say they do not have enough. Instead they go around in Flashy cars and buy jets. This is of course frowned against in the Catholic Church.

bright007:
I agree with everything you wrote except the part where you have to confess your sins to your fellow man.

That principle has been abolished since Jesus Christ died for us and became our saviour.

Jesus is now our only mediator, hence if you feel the need to genuinely repent of your sins, confess to Jesus only and you are forgiven.

Confessing to man is a false principle

Wow, can you speak with Bible references please? Are you saying Christ was lying when He said:
"If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."? John 20:23

Note that, this statement of course does not mean the disciples had the power to forgive sins, but through the Holy Spirit he gave them, they will become a vessel and instrument of God who will carry out His work of mercy through them.

And like Christ mentioned previously, He came to fulfill the law. Before, when the whole nation sinned, they would offer sacrifices to God through the priests. Now the ultimate sacrifice has been made through Christ for all our sins and He has also established us as priests through the Baptism. However, the disciples who were given a precise and particular order still hold the priest of the high order and the people who are established to dedicate themselves to God, namely our priests and pastors has such authority through Christ.

This was a puzzle for me in the beginning until I realized it meant humility. Basically being poor in spirit means choosing to not be proud or self-righteous, but rather displaying a deeply repentant heart and deeply reveres and worships God as the only Holy of Holies and source of all things.

Why should it? Anyone who has decided to give tithe to God works with God directly as their provider and King and a King deserves their treaty. If God is good to you and you choose to recognize His goodness by paying tithe, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. If you don't trust your priest, it is not exactly your right to judge them as still as you are still going to their church. Else, then you may secretly know in your heart that you are in the wrong place but have refused to make the right decision due to fear and social attachments/concerns.

UPDATE
If you are paying tithe but you are not doing great or equivalent works of charity you are not doing it right.
After reading Deuteronomy 14: 22 to 29 as uyplus suggested, I've concluded that a lot have been deceived indeed. I didn't realize that tithe was meant to be given to God -- just like Sundays are for him (and how we give it to him is to rest). Reading it again, I've realized tithes are similar, you give it to God, through celebrating His goodness in your own household and giving to the poor or less privileged.

An interesting sunday indeed

SCAM ALERT

Dear all, I have decided to be an antiscam ambassador on business threads of this our noble forum.

Why taken the burden

I realise the scammer that duped me have con many in the past and he is probably duping another gentle guy from our member right now. So, as a humanitarian, I have decided to take a time out of my busy schedule to share this information. Perhaps with time, most of our members would be saved from scammers trick.

What you should know

1. There are trusted xchangers in various business threads
2. There are thieves waiting for you to fall to their trick and do a way with your hard earned money

How to identify the trusted xchangers

1. There are people that have a great reputation in this business here. I will mention few. Knowing them is a step to avoid scammer. However, it's not 100% guarantee, but it's better than not having the list.

Examples of these trusted fellows are:

LadyF
Aleairhub
Justi4jesu
Bookiemart01
Singapore1
Nsonaso
Sunboy
Legalwealth
Omotisa
Iyemik
Bdavis
Saintpn
Mariesio
Vizboy
Toluxa1
Gunbiz
Jazes
Tumababa
Juliustip
Naira2usd2naira
Enterpro
Cjsmack
HazzanTazzan

etc

2. You can take the vouch of at least 5 of the trusted members in order to be able to trust an unknown fellow you wanna deal with

How to identify scam

1. A scammer don't usually write details such as number etc about themselves in their profile
2. They usually offer mouthwatery trade e.g selling bitcoin at 400/$ when others are selling at 450 or 500
3. Their mobile number if typed on google brings out information different from what they tell you
4. Their profile is usually new - few months, a year or 2 years old
5. They usually have little or no posts
6. They are always in a hurry during transaction.
7. They use different names and different accounts
8. Block your number immediately after you transfer money to them
9. They sometime come in the name of religion, calling themselves convenat child of God, commited muslim...blah..blah..blah
10. The greedy scammer engages in legit xchange for some period in order to earn your trust and burst you BIG
11. They send money from bank account different from their name. This is MITM technique beware.
12. They write on the thread false scam story so that you would let your guard down when dealing with them
13. They send customise SMS claiming a trusted member vouch for them or false bank SMS alert
14. They sometime claim they don't have nairaland account in order to protect thier moniker.

How to prevent yourself

1. Trade with trusted xchanger ONLY - This is not 100% guarantee though, but it's more advisable than blind dealing OR
2. Obtain as many vouch as possible before your deal OR
3. Use ESCROW incase you are trading with less trusted fellow
4. Research on identity of the fellow you want to trade with i.e don't rely 100% on my list - confirm my list from your little research

List of identified scammers

Unfortunately, I wrote this in haste, and I won't be able to come up with more than few data. You are welcome to add your own lists of identified scammers you have identified (with proof) and I will add it up.

Hi Tabbaz, 3RNEST, Puskin, HEFAIROHLUWA, coppera2015, PrinceMario I've been working on a system for about 3 months now after my name got involved in a SCAM.
It's called FraudKoboko, will be launching it in 5 days and need ideas on how it can be integrated with Nairaland.

yinkeys:
Please help with blue screen of death solution
This has been going on for months, I've formatted the system syeverally.
It displays this when I'm in the middle of something, then forces a restart everytime.
Please what's the permanent solution for this.
@skydancer
@scarplanet
@lexusgs430
Help guys.
I also can't restart via safe mode again because the screen stays blank when I select that option

You most likely have a faulty driver or some other sort of misconfiguration. Although you waited too long, have you tried using system restore to restore to a point before the problem started?

You may also try this hotfix: https://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/kbhotfix.aspx?kbnum=2876900&kbln=en-US

Truth is that the female suicide bomb attacks we are seeing now may be coming from stigmatized females that were married to them while in Sambisa before their 'husbands' were killed and are now unable to integrate into the society.

Best news I have heard today

solablings:
I got this text that he was my mate in katsina state orientation camp.
And I fell for it.
My God, I just stupidly sent N50, 0000 to these scammers yesterday. It sounded so real that I can't but just to make the payment almost immediately.
All my savings is gone.
Why is this happening to me now.

God have mercy.
The person that claim to be my mate number is 0816 789 3361
And his in-law Dr Paul Lawson number is 08140514297.

I'm having sleepless night right now.

Please beware of these scammers.

I'm just learning from my own mistakes.

Please can you post the account number you paid into too?

TSTV illegal Viewing Brouhaha By May Ubeku

A lot has been going on behind the scene to ensure TSTV doesn't become a reality. From internal issues that are not meant for public consumption to issues of letters and screen shots against TSTV flying all over the Internet.

While TSTV Africa was test-running their signals with the free promo decoders distributed just 3 days ago, hackers waited for when it was time for the Arsenal match, took down TSTV signal for 30 minutes and inserted the " You are viewing Bein Sports content illegally via TSTV Nigeria" and sent it online for circulation. The entire team was frustrated and awake all night to figure out where the hack was coming from.

So BEIN Sports even know the location and company airing their channels illegally and cannot Institute a law suit? THINK!!

First, it was a disclaimer letter from BEIN Sports that was circulated last month and now this viewing phony message when TSTV finally went live. Why TSTV sports channels? Who is only interested in TSTV sports channels if not detractors? Are other TSTV channels not showing? Why the BEIN sport channel? They even told BEIN Sports that TSTV don't have a license to operate in Nigeria set. That they have been blacklisted by the NBC. That's the height of desperation. Let's be wise.

Oh well... TSTV detractors should know one thing, that no matter the pressure and online propaganda to bring down TSTV with regards to BEIN Sports, the management of TSTV would never disclose the agreement they have with BEIN Sports because it's a non-disclosure agreement. They won't breach their part of the agreement. Know this!

If TSTV is airing BEIN illegally, BEIN Sports should make the move and sue. Let BEIN announce it on their official website and social media handles. BEIN Sports is a Qatar company and they have the all money and resources to fight TSTV. So I don't understand why the illegal messages aren't coming from their official channels but from some Nigerian social media handles. Funny...

Therefore, if you don't see these messages on their website, then disregard letters, screen shots and fake Qatar �� numbers on display in a time when anybody can have a UK phone number and the person is actually chilling somewhere in Ikotun. Phew!

Finally, Nigerians should know that the management of TSTV isn't selling decoders so you can't say they are defrauding you rather their decoders are FREE for now. So if the business crumbles at this early stage of take off, the young CEO of TSTV, Echefu Bright has nothing to lose. He would move on to another business and recover his loss from there. He's been doing well with his Africa Health Television Channels. Nigerians are the ones who have everything to lose as an alternative entertainment platform and job opportunities would be lost!

Everyone working at Green Glass House would be sacked. That your friend, relative, spouse or neighborhood that would have been employed by TSTV or as an accredited dealer would lose that opportunity of having an income or additional income. Some of you who would later want to provide program contents will never get to see that opportunity . Let wisdom guide us. Every company that adds an additional number to the number of employed Nigerians is important even if it's akara selling business, let's support it.

Whatever digital television services provider you want to stay with, do so without grudges and support more alternatives to spring up and give you more value for your money.

Salute to the entire team at TSTV. Well done and good luck.

I wish I could share this like 5 times

The problem is not appearing before the court, it is who is requesting the appearance. The political game for 2019 is on

okosodo:
This may sound absurd. But i do not believe that this woman really stole the way APC is vilifying her with all the energy that they had. I just heard from a foreign media that london has dropped the charges against her because it could not be substantiated. But they are seizing her properties in nigeria because of hatred. This woman was really a thorn in the flesh of the cabals when she was there, they are fighting back. My own suspicious analysis! If not she would be standing trial in the uk and nigerian government that hate her so much will spend billions to broadcast it to the world, even to outer space.

On the contrary, her property was recently seized in the UK

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/08/28/uks-national-crime-agency-freezes-alison-maduekes-london-properties/

OK on another note, I just realized that this is only a Nigerian news. But there's no recent foreign news on her for the Google search.

"UK alison madueke UK national crime agency"

I doubt the EFCC has the audacity to parade her name to the extent they are doing falsely and strongly hope that is not what they are doing.

Skipuru:
A guy of 27 years old impregnated my 16 years old sister mean while she's about to write her waec next year.
I called the guy on phone and he said he's ready to take responsibility of the girl and she will marry her , but me I don't like it that way because she's too small to bear a child and I don't want that to happen to my sister because she's the only girl in my family.
Now the question is I want her to abort the child and focus on her education but the guy said he ready and my mom called me and said that my sister said if anything should happen to her that it's on our head.
Please I want you to post it so I can hear people's opinions on this so I can know the right thing to do because I'm I'm going crazy.

Please I need a good advice on how to follow this matter. My mom want her to suffer so she can learn her lesson but me she will bring shame to me and my family. I'm just a boy of 22 years old still on the street.

If it is any consolation, the jews in the past used to marry at about 13 or 14 years. Don't know if it is still so now however, it is good that the man is supportive but I personally don't believe they should be allowed to stay together. Help the girl to mature by taking her closer to God in prayer and service. If she's a catholic, let her make her masses frequently, if God allows the child to live, then it means God means more for her and has prepared a maturity training journey for her through the child. Most importantly, let her focus on God so that she will be able to know the will of God in her life and thus be able to live exactly as God intends for her from now.

There is nothing like Sexual compatibility. We have compatibility itself -- which is largely about spiritual maturity, and we have emotional and sexual education. And of course beauty/physical compatibility which is obvious. Any other thing is deceit

OLAADEGBU:
You need to read the words of Jesus instead of adhering to the traditions that contradicts God's Commandments. This is what Jesus has to say to those who think their church traditions are equal to or carry more weight than God's commandments:

"He answered and said to them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandments of God, you hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many such like things you do. And He said to them, Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition" (Mark 7:6-9).

Lol I suspected you were an atheist. Thanks for confirming

joshnes:
the ark is NOT an object of worship. God NEVER asked the Isrealites to worship the ark. NEVER. The ark of the covenant, like the brazen serpent was symbolic. Representing the Holy Spirit filled born again child of God in the new testament era.

If you realize this, go and think about it carefully again. Convince yourself that Catholics are doing it differently.
