okoyeokoye:Please stop smelling everywhere. |
God will answer your prayers before you ask? Too bad he's not answering the prayers of those kids roaming on the street hungry, the ones in hospitals dying of one ailment or another. |
Leonbonapart:First of all he's your god not mine. Your ancestors also perished not mine because I come from a lineage that have passed through time and still like gold we shine without believing in your GAY Jesus and his DUMB dad. Motherfucking cunt. Weak minded slowpoke. Stupid mouth. |
One question I need answered. Why is God of Israel the true God? Why isn't it God of Nigeria? is it because our ancestors were not good at record keeping?

WHY TITHING IS NOT REQUIRED TODAY 1. Believers are no longer under the Mosaic covenant (Rom. 6:14–15; 7:5–6; Gal. 3:15–4:7; 2 Cor. 3:4–18). 2. The examples of Abraham and Jacob are not normative patterns. Some think tithing is required because both Abraham and Jacob gave a tenth, and they both lived before the Mosaic covenant was in place. Such examples hardly prove tithing is for all time, however. Abraham’s gift to Melchizedek was a one-time event; there is no evidence he regularly gave God a tenth. 3. Tithes were given to the Levites and priests, but there are no Levites and priests in the new covenant. Levites and priests were tied to the sacrificial system of the old covenant. Now all believers are priests (1 Pet. 2:9; Rev. 1:6; 5:10; 20:6), with Jesus as our Melchizedekian high priest (Heb. 7). 4)The tithe is tied to the land Israel received under the old covenant. Israel was supposed to celebrate a tithe every three years in Jerusalem. But that requirement cannot apply to Christians today. It related to the Jews as a nation—to Jews who lived in the land of promise. With the coming of Christ, the Jewish nation is no longer the locus of God’s people, though individual Jews are part of the church through faith in Jesus. 5. If tithing is required today, how much should we give? As noted above, the number was certainly more than 10 percent and closer to 20 percent. Those who advocate tithing should probably settle on 20 percent. 6. When Jesus affirmed the tithe, it was before the dawn of the new covenant. Some defend tithing by saying Jesus praised tithing, even if he said it was less important than other things (Matt. 23:23; Luke 11:42). This argument appears strong, but it’s not persuasive. Jesus also mentioned offering sacrifices in the temple (Matt. 5:23–24), but Christians don’t think—even if the temple were rebuilt—that we should do that. Our Lord’s words are understandable when we think about his location in redemptive history. 7. Nowhere is tithing mentioned when commands to give generously are found in the New Testament. When Christians are instructed to give to the poor, they aren’t commanded to give “the poor tithe.” Instead, they are instructed to be generous in helping those in need (Acts 2:43–47; 4:32–37; 11:27–30; Gal. 2:10; 1 Cor. 16:1–4; 2 Cor. 8:1–9:15). For example, 1 Corinthians 16:1–4—a passage often cited in popular circles in support—doesn’t mention tithing; it relates to a one-time gift for poor saints in Jerusalem. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/7-reasons-christians-not-required-to-tithe/ |
Lokoyen:You and your likes are the hypocrites. You hide under your religion to rob and threaten people. So you said cattle rearing and farming were the most predominant occupation. You make me laugh! Really?! Why was fishermen, carpenters, tent makers and cloth makers exempt?! If you're as smart as you think you're a little research would've told you that those occupations were in high demand then. Tithing was meant to bring FOOD to the house of God not money am sure you would say there wasn't money "in those days". You say pastors and evangelists are Levites, The Levites had an awful lot to do--and they were doing all of it so God would forgive the sins of Israel. It had to be done on a constant and ongoing basis, it was a full-time job,it served God and helped others. But it is very clear that Jesus did away with the sacrificial laws with His actions on the cross and you don't have to do all those stuff any more. A pastor does not do what a levitical priest did. Today pastors own more than you hypocrites defending them. They own schools,real estates and other financial investments. No LEVITE owned any thing. Why didn't the early apostles accept tithes?! Levi is a blood line and it's not something you can claim to be just because it fits your agenda. I don't read any Old Testament to claim whatever blessing I don't need it. I go out and work! |
There's no prophetic prayer for financial breakthrough if you like don't go and work. It's not only lord that spoke to you its Jon snow. Mtchewwwwwwwww. |
dayowunmi:Please can you show us the bible passages supporting the bolded statement? |
talk2percy:she doesn't even have one to begin with. All the comments for tithes if you notice are based on sentiments and not facts. |
cbright4real:stop quoting Malachi 3 without reading from chapter 2. That verse was meant for the priests AKA LEVITIES that were robbing God, they were keeping the best of the tithes and not remitting their 10%. No tithe is not mandatory for Christians. It wasn't even mandatory to all the Jews that were given the law. I bet you don't know that only 3 categories of people were expected to pay tithes 1)farmers 2)herdsmen 3)LEVITIES. It's was done as a community service to feed the orphans,widows,strangers and the Levites. No blessings or curse follows tithing. Read your bible and stop vomiting what your pastor told you. |
Ugbavihi:Exactly! This is the type of mentality that has kept Africa in the dark ages. Believe and don't question. Religious dogma, even when it's blue and my pastor says purple AMEN he's right! Let's not question "God" let's remain a fool for him! No you're not a fool for Christ you're just a full blooded fool and while your mates in the other parts of the world keep asking questions and making headways keep being a FOOL. Am sure you attend a pentecostal church. You're part of that movement because someone question the norm. Wise up! |
Some people will laugh and judge but still believe that a virgin gave birth. ![]() |
According to wole Soyinka Nigeria has a world record number of imbeciles. How anyone can support TB Joshua is beyond me. Is it because of money or fear. |
magnificientzaz:It's about money tho...cos if you had a car and a driver you wouldn't want to risk your life this way. |

Then Adam would be gay?! |
MistadeRegal:Do not mention me if you have nothing important or sensible to say. Be warned. |
Tell your pastor or send a mail to the said church, they can send you money monthly so you wouldn't miss church. |
701ecilana:Lemme guess your other moniker was banned right? You may think you're making a case for your god but trust me you aren't. Just leave me alone. Please |
701ecilana:Madam like I said before "your reputation precedes you" I don't have time to go back and forth with a robot. Please you win! Hurray! god exists and he created you and other black jews E.T.C. Happy?! Now let me be! Please I beg you warrior of Christ, the one that will work in his stables grooming his horse and tending to his desires. Bye! |
701ecilana:I called you by your name girly, why're you angry?! |
701ecilana:Yo madam I know you like arguments please I beg you win.ok? You descendant of Adam...leave me alone I beg. |
Christians are soooooooooo dumb! They feel anybody that don't believe in their god believes in evolution. See the dumbo wanting to debate me with the bible a book I don't believe. Their common argument "how did you get here" their god is the answer to all difficult questions. Someone is sick and saved by a doctor PRAISE god, someone dies OH devil! Millions of kids in Nigeria will go to bed hungry tonight but hey god knows best. Retard! Don't quote me again fool am not here to debate you. Let your god defend himself. See this evil girl that defended a scammer till the last even when it was proven that he scammed trusting people just because he's a Christian. 701ecilana: |
Humanistme:I know some are intellects in different fields but how can an African still think in this modern day era that he/she is a descendant of Adam a Jewish myth?! |
analice107:No am not scared of you. Your reputation precedes you. Genesis 3:4 and god showed Adam how to put the long rod attached to his waist into the hole that is inbetween his wife's thighs. |
