@STAGELEFT

That dear friend is the key. There are only 2 wrong people on this topic:
1. Those that bash tithing and cheerful tithers and do not give even 10% to the poor, needy and the church

2. Those that give grudgingly simply because they are scared of violating a "law" and going to hell.

Every giver will be richly blessed (not all blessings are financial) and even the giving in the NT was way more than 10% ( close to 100% in some cases)
I challenge you to read the chapters surrounding the scriptures quoted to you to get the context, follow the principles of biblical hermeneutics so you can fully understand and approve yourself as a 2Tim2:15 christian. Again know the difference between exegesis and esiegesis
God bless you too!

pls read my post very well before u reply can i ask u a question who spoke in matt 23:23 Nd in luke 18:12 incase u dnt knw or understand wat d red letter signifies let me tell u dat its signifies dat it was Jesus speaking there nd i dnt understand wat u mean by attribute d parable of d pharisees action to jesus .Who spoke on the parable of d pharisees nd i dnt knw where in my post did i say dat d parable of pharisees action is d same as jesus own read my post very well nd read d bible very well before u quote me .And let me tell u dat if u dnt want to pay tithes becos u re selfish nd wouldnt want to release ur money to d levities i.e d pastors it left for u no one will force u bt as dey say A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE

I know the words of Jesus are in red. One question, If I tell a story about how Evans the kidnapper kidnapped people and used the money to help the poor, does that mean I am a kidnapper, endorsing kidnapping? Jesus told many parables: the prodigal son, the unfaithful servant etc does not mean he was endorsing their action. He simply told a story to explain something. The parable you.are referring to is that of the Pharisee and the tax collector, read the entire scripture for yourself and not the verse quoted to you.
Tithing is a biblical given Principe that works just like sacrificial giving and first fruits. It is however not a law.
Eating right and going to the gym works and will keep you healthy but you won't go to jail if you don't.

Pls does u said we re not to obey d law concerning tithes where in the bible did jesus say so becos wen jesus talked abt he did not come to condemn d law but fulfill it dat means he came to show us an example on how we can fulfill d law lyk him even as he was in flesh nd he was still able to fulfill it since we re his followers we should do the same read matt 23:23 where jesus called d pharisees hypocrite cos they will pay tithes of All the hve bt yet wouldnt show love,mercy nd other fruit of d spirit dat they re to obey all d laws nd not one nd leave d other so whoever obeys d law abt love,forgiveness,obedience nd does not obey dat abt tithes is a hypocrite Jesus also showed us example in luke 18:12 where he said he fast twice a week nd payed tithes of all he had .Therefore my Brothers nd sister pay ur tithes so dat on d last day u will nt miss heaven becos of dat fulfill all d laws of God nd dnt characterize it as New nd Old testament.

So you are just going to quote scripture about the Parable of the Pharisee and attribute his actions to Jesus?

Indomie generation. Don't say top 5 albums to date, but top 5 albums from 2000 to date. Where do you want put Fela's albums, KSA, Obey etc?

It will be a disservice to put those guys in the same category to what we have now plus a lot of those albums were either live recordings or long studio sessions (e.g most fela albums had only three 12 to 18min songs) that won't fit into the format majority of the music we have today

So I put together MY list of the top 5 naija albums (not artistes). I personally think Nigerian music got a whole lot better after Kennis Music showed that u can make a great living from performing so hats off to them. Well here is my list ( feel free to extend the list to accommodate your favorite artist):

1. P Square: Get Squared (hits: bizzy body, omoge mi, temptation, e don happen, oga police)

2. Tuface: Grass2Grace (hits: 4instance, no shaking, see me so, if love is a crime, e be like say)

3. 9ice: gongo Aso (hits: gongo aso, party rider, street credibility,photocopy, pamurogo)

4. Wizkid: Superstar (hits: pakurumo, wiz party, holla at your boy, love my baby, tease me)

5. Tuface: Face2Face (hits: African queen, nfana ibaga, ole, u no holy pass, odi ya)
