^^^ u ar missing the point, am not against giving, wat i just realized from the passage i read was that i'm not obliged to give 100% of my tithe to the church, rather i'm allowed by my own discretion to divide the tithe amongst other needs, such as giving to the less privileged, orphans, charity etc. the norm was to simply pay everything to the church account- because i wasnt informed on what tithing really entailed.

[quote author=Tee_Jay link=topic=685535.msg8477391#msg8477391 date=1307520950]No church should force anyone to give. Even God never forces anyone to give; it is entirely up to the individual whether or not he wants to obey the word of God exclusively or decides to cherry-pick the ones that suits him/her. Once you have given your life to God surrendering 10% or 100% of what you have(which He gave you anyway and has the power to take away at any time) should never be an issue. Abraham is a classic example of this, he was ever so willing to sacrifice his one and only child to prove his love for God with no questions asked, a sharp contrast people a number of so-called christians who flood this site moaning about tithes/offering. [/quote]from your input- i guess we are not supposed to question any teachings
wats ur opinion of God's word, are you of the school of thought that some certain verses in the bible, should be disregarded?

just read the hebrews version- totally more confused

i really have no scruples about giving to GOD, but knowing the origin was actually what baffled me about the passage i mentioned. it appears that Churches forces us to give 100% of the tithes to its coffers which is totally against what i read.

i was reading my bible recently and came across Deut 14: 22-29 from the text, i suddenly realized that tithes should not be given to the church/priest completely (except you chose to) rather it explicitly explains what you should do with the 10% of your increase/salary/harvest dedicated to God. The question is how many of the faithfuls are aware of this passage "my people perish for lack of knowledge". Am i getting the context of the passage wrongly. or is a translation problem.


Deut 14: 22-29

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

A young man goes off to college, but about 1/3 of the way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered away all of the money his parents gave him.
Then he gets an idea. He calls his daddy. "Dad," he says, "you won't
believe the wonders that modern education are coming up with!  Why, they actually have a program here at college that will teach our dog BHOVA
how to talk!"
"That's absolutely amazing," his father says. "How do I get him in that program?"
"Just send him down here with R15,000" the boy says. "I'll get him into the course." So, his father sends the dog and the R15,000.
About 2/3 way through the semester, the money runs out,   The boy calls his father again.
"So how's BHOVA doing, son," his father asks.
"Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't believe this - they've had such good results with this program that they've implemented a new one to teach the animals how to READ!"
"READ," says his father, "No kidding! What do I have to do to get him in that program?"
Just send R18,500, I'll get him in the class." His father sends the
money.
The boy now has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find
out that the dog can neither talk, nor read. So he shoots the dog. When he gets home at the end of the semester, his father is all excited.
"Where's BHOVA? I just can't wait to see him talk and read something!"
"Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, BHOVA was in the living room kicking backin the recliner, reading. the morning paper, like he usually does.
Then he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messin'
around with that little girl who lives on Oak Street?'
The father says, "I hope you SHOT that son of a b*tch before he talks to your Mother!"
"I sure did, Dad!"
"That's my boy!"

Wats Nsofor doin in da startin lineup

A businessman was getting ready to go on a long business trip, so he thought he’d buy his wife something to keep her occupied. He went to a sex shop & explained his situation.The man there said, “Well, I don’t know that I have anything that will keep her occupied for so many weeks, except… the Voodoo Penis!”

The husband said “The what”? The man repeated ” The Voodoo Penis” and pulled out what seemed to be an ordinary Love Machine. The husband laughed, and said, “It looks like a Love Machine!”

The man then pointed to the door and said, “Voodoo Penis, door!”

The penis rose out of its box, darted over to the door and started pounding the keyhole. The whole door shook wildly with vibrations, so much that a crack began to form down the middle. Then the man said “Voodoo Penis, return to box!” and the penis stopped & returned to the box.

The husband bought it. He took it home to his wife, And after the husband had been gone a few days, the wife remembered the Voodoo Penis. She undressed, opened the box and said “Voodoo Penis, my crotch”. The penis shot to her crotch. It was absolutely incredible. After three mind shattering orgasms, she became very exhausted and decided she’d had enough. She tried to pull it out, but it was stuck. Her husband had neglected to tell her how to turn it off. So she put her clothes on, got in her car and started for the hospital.

On the way, another incredibly intense orgasm made her swerve over the road. A police officer saw this and immediately pulled her over.

He asked for her license, and then asked how much she’d had to drink. Gasping and twitching, the woman said “I haven’t had anything to drink officer. You see, I’ve got this Voodoo Penis thing stuck in my crotch and it won’t stop screwing me…”

The officer looked at her for a second, shook his head and replied,

“Yeah right… Voodoo Penis, my ass… :x =)) X_X =)) =D

really time to leave

Shinatu:
Thank you Abali, the man's story makes him look like he is dumb and I am sure no Nigerian man can take 1/10th of all he said he has patiently taken from the woman!

A woman brought a lover into the house, banned you from visiting and seeing your kids and you still called her up when you became an Ambassador because you 'thought the honour was due her'?

some serious jazz at work- d woman must be paying top dollar

lol- NOT!!!!!!

i hate dis conversion

time to leave
