You have not proven you do medical circumcision on free will though
because you can do medical circumcision at any age
But u chose to do it for babies just like Abraham
So I think you are just trying to use a superficial reason to justify what you are already bent on doing
because actually people who are uncircumcised live happy lives just like everyone else
That aside.



Secondly, I told you they pay to the body of Christ
The church is the body of Christ
So churches can ask for tithe

If i were in fact to actually have my babies circumcised it would be an act in exercise of my own freewill, not based on a commandment. This means i can have them circumcised in whichever way suits me, at whatever age. In short, I am free to do it or not to do it without any consequence. And that is the key.

Similarly, if one decides to tithe on his own volition, there is no consequence for deciding not to tithe, and the tither can tithe in the way that they decide to tithe, and give it to whom they decide to give the tithe to. If i were to give you a voluntary gift today, would you then stand upon that as justification to demand a gift everyday?

felixomor:
Oh
So the bible even said you should not circumcise because of blessings yet you still do it ba?

So also, Christians are not paying tithes to Melchizedek like their father, Abraham
They now pay to the body of Christ
Just like you do circumcision which Abraham started for medical reasons, so also Christians pay tithe which Abraham also did, for financial reasons.

Which therefore means, if the payment of tithe by Christians is not being done according to the model laid down in the bible, it is being done entirely on a free will basis just like medical circumcision, and cannot be demanded by a church. It can only be offered by the free will of a believer.

felixomor:
Yes you do.
So answer, why do u practice it?
Answer

Meanwhile, thanks for the reminder

Where have you seen me practice it?

Are you one of those people who make facts up?

I do not have sons yet but when i do the only reason i may decide to have them circumcised is purely for medical reasons since i was never instructed as christian to circumcise my children.

Moreso, the book of Galatians 5 makes it clear that we who are considered gentiles are not to circumcise ourselves for the sake of partaking of the Abrahamic covenant.

So, you are very wrong, and no i do not!

SmartyPants:
Do I?

@ felixomor you have not answered me

johnydon22:
Still two is enough to genaralize what up to a 100 does and requires an epistle?

Just 2?

Christ!!!

Just pointing out to you that you got your facts wrong.

Secondly it may not be enough evidence to prove a trend but it is enough evidence to raise suspicion.

kay29000:
Interesting. So the man never saw pictures of his son in school uniform? These Twitter stories are hard to believe some times.

Without a timeline the story may not make sense but if we are told that all this occurred over there months it might start making sense

IAMSASHY:
him Dats dropping money wtout luking bak, he probably neva asked his son anything abt his skul nor even checked his books, she wl soon sell dia house and relocate to face me I slap u. D evil dat women do....

Instead of plagiarizing the twitter comments, read through with sense first.if he wasn't looking back how would he have discovered the heinous act?

elChapo1:
that faithful Thursday in october 2014 i got a calling asking to knw if i was at home. The caller then asked me to see him at his Wuse zone 3 office the next day being Friday, that i did with my documents (mind you, this was one of various several visits to this man after nysc in 2010). Fast forward to January 2015, i found myself in the academy where i trained for 6 months. Currently preparing for promotion to the next level. Having carved a niche for myself in intelligence/surveillance/security, I'm looking forward to a better challenge on the global stage.

Wow...id like to perhaps try out that industry...can you give me some clues as to what qualifications are important?

felixomor:
So why do you do it?

Do I?

felixomor:
Did Jesus teach you to circumcise your male children?

No

felixomor:
No, I dont.
The reason I asked the question is because the simpleton i was replying tried to imply that he knew everything about the finances of Jesus Ministry
And the bible never discussed the finances in detail.

He was trying to make it look like he knew everything Jesus did with money.
We dont know.
So nobody should try to discuss what wasnt discussed in detail in the bible.

Even if all Jesus' practices are not found in the bible, His teachings are. So if He never taught His disciples to pay tithe to Him, then that gives us a very important piece of information

Goshen360:
My point is he didn't call it OFFERING. when you call something an OFFERING, it means something else. If you think Paul called it OFFERING then show scriptures and I'll admit my fault.

He did call it offering...ill edit this post with the reference soon

Edit: @ Goshen360 I can't find the reference i promised. I seem to recall it quite strongly being mentioned as one of the rights of the Apostles discussed in 1 Corinthians 9, however my research is not showing such, leading me to believe that it might have been the wording of a particular translation which i do not recall.

felixomor:
Answer

I don't know where it came from. Do you?

Goshen360:
Permit me to correct you sir if you don't mind....

There's nothing like offering (by the name or used in today's churches) in the new testament. Money collected during worship is not offering but contributions. When you start saying offering, it brings an old testament sense of offerings and how they used to offer rituals to God in their worship in those days.

That's why Malachi said...."in tithes and in offerings...."

Both tithes and offerings are gone in the new covenant.
Hebrews 10: 8-9.

Permit me to correct you: That is wrong.

Paul, in speaking on the rights of an apostle includes the right to raise an offering for personal use.

felixomor:
The money Judas was collecting and holding for the group
Do you know where it came from?

Do YOU know where it came from??

johnydon22:
Hasty generalization and false conclusions: One atheist posted a copied post on your thread, the next day you open a thread that opines every atheist does same here with a whole lot unnecessary epistle to go with such iirelavant argument.

This is rather a silly conclusion.

Not one...two

madridguy:
I'm serious. The little girl condition need a drastic action to safe her life if not she will turn public toilet and bring load of embarrassment to her parent.

And that is the only solution that came to your mind?

You are an animal!

I'm really impressed.

All ill say is while you encourage him to develop this gift, don't develop tunnel vision...

That he has a gift may not mean it I his only gift or that he should make a career out of it.

Queendoncom:
Y'all are forgetting that this so called davido lied about his whereabout on the night the taboo guy died

Which itself has been proven to have been a lie. Are you living under a rock?

[quote author=Chauke post=61393802][/quote]Go and learn how to do simple things like properly quoting a message then get back to me.

Wisdom is profitable to direct, and indeed, Wisdom is proved right by her children.

In these troubled times, why send the army? Couldn't doctors have been mobilized for this? Nurses? Medical Students? Corpers? Why the army??

Chauke:
Nobody is holding uninvited nigerians in SA against they will. If they feel unsafe let them move out of harms way that's simple

Think beyond the trivial and superficial.

1. If people were confined to their geographical location of origin, the world would not be what it is today.

2. If South Africa has a state policy that all Nigerians are persona non grata they should come out and say so. If not, then they are duty bound to grant every Nigerian citizen the right to life as provided for and protected by the UN charter and other international conventions to which South Africa is party to.

3. South Africans are present in other countries of the world where they are not being killed in this way. It is morally wrong for them to not extend to others the same courtesy that is extended to them.

Please think thoroughly before you quote me!

LeSudAfricaine:
there are two sides for every story. This link is no doubt a Nigerian version

So give me the South African version or shut up!

LeSudAfricaine:
Yes it is actually. I'm in South Africa and there's none of this "let's exterminate every Nigerian" story that I read about daily here. If a Nigerian dies in SA, there's usually a logical explanation for it. There's no mass extermination of Nigerians here, it's Nigerian media sensationalism and hype

What is the justification for the death of Ibrahim Olalekan Badmus?

They still look nice...

And she makes a pretty valid point. Why judge people's looks when they did not create themselves?

Ndlistic:
We are waiting! You people should not go and bury the dead young man. Keep on looking for evidence to implicate inocent Davido.
RIP BRO TAGBO

The family is only coming out with this statement after Davido released the CCTV footage. HMMMM!

Caroline Danjuma that started all this, first claiming that Tagbo was her brother, is now silent.

Why would people want to bring a young man down? Will that restore the lost, loved one??

Seriously, i'm a freaking good left back...way better than Echiejile.

It's so painful watching that guy play football

What an idiot!

I hope when its time to graduate from Law School, someone will bring this up. He will never smell the bar.

LeSudAfricaine:
what exactly is this plight of Nigerians in SA?

Are you pretending to be unaware that Nigerians are being killed every other day in South Africa?

Is this news to you?

It is time for Nigeria to refer South Africa to the International Criminal Court. Yes!

We must not wait until the death toll reaches 1000!

The systematic targeting of Nigerians for extrajudicial killing with the implicit approval of the Jacob Zuma led government is am act of Genocide based on article 5 of the Rome statute.

Nigerian govt please act now to save our citizens and preserve out right to life.

brainpulse:
Press briefing for what? A normal murder case, is it because his family is rich and influential.

The case is of national interest, and citizens are keenly observing. The police must act in such a manner that shows that justice is being prosecuted, to build public confidence.

So what exactly is the philosophy of male feminism?
