Let's play a game. Make a sentence starting with 'Before social networks'...

I will start

Before social networks and Nairaland, I was just a guy devouring content from google search results, check news and browsing cheats and play chess online.

What about you?

Why does this keep happening? Please contact me if you are serious about starting a job

Not looking bad

Awww nice. Good hearted man.

Nice one. Looks so much like her dad. Hope she will not have bald hair too

Silly. People should realize Politics is not a game or comedy show. It's a salt on the injury

People should also think about how to invest huge in agriculture. Right now some agri businesses yield more than 300% profit margin, i.e. if you invest 300k, you can make 900k in about 6 months.

Nice marketing strategy.

Meanwhile I have a list of over 50 businesses you can start with less than 300k, in some you can make up to 200k profit per month

Barbing alone (not salon) from the data we have makes about 70k profit per month and costs about 100k to start.

While a beauty salon costs about 1million to start and generates about 300k profit per month (not very lucrative compared to agriculture)

Very important to build self confidence in a decaying world where the convention is a complete disregard for virtues and promotion of suicidal behaviour. This video says it all

This has turned into a btc thread

Where are all them payoneer dealers? I need payoneer

I finally believe that this is God's own way of sending a message to pastors. In the old days, the priests and levites rarely owned any property so it was fitting to nearly categorize them with those that needed help as mentioned in Deuteronomy 14: 22 - 29 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2014:22-29

But it's no longer so. And moreover, tithes were meant to be given to God the way we were to give Sundays, by enjoying it ourselves and sharing with others especially the less privileged.

22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 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.

The most important thing at the end of the day is to realize Christ perfected this teaching in His preaching of Charity. We should make it mandatory for ourselves to practice Charity and to pray for the guidance of the Spirit in the process so that we will give to those who need it most. And at the end of the day, it's not that you gave money that matters, but that you gave love, and your time to someone and made them realize how important they are to God.

I've been waiting for this my whole life...

I've inboxed you

Thank you Mattizzy, where did you send message?

Wow. There is surely more to this. Nigerians have a tendency to win everything

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
