Straight to the point.

I'm starting to feel like I give out too much of my money.

I get money, and I give a bigger percentage of it out, either as tithe, or to sort out one family problem or the other.

I feel like I give more than I keep.

I saved some amount of money last year, and I wiped my account clean... gave everything out.

I tithe everything I earn... even bonuses and commission.

I make financial vows... give towards church projects.

So I think I've generally experienced favour in life, but then again, I've given more than I've kept.

Is this a psychological problem of some sort?

I've started wondering if I would have more in terms of savings and assets if I didn't give so much out.

But I also wonder if I'd have enjoyed the favours and growth I've enjoyed if I've always kept more to myself?


There are so many things that I want that I cannot get right now, but if I had kept the bulk of my money, I'd have had more readily available cash.

It's confusing.

What makes me a liar and have nothing to do with Jesus? Telling you that it's wrong to know that Jesus permitted women to speak in the church and yet deliberately disobey it?

It's you that doesn't have any regard for Jesus or His Words that is a hypocrite and has nothing to do with Jesus.

You obviously have something against Jesus that makes you deliberately disregard His Words, so i'm not your problem. Go and ask yourself why Jesus would say something and you'd knowingly disobey it and be attacking those who keep His saying.

It's the children of the devil that do that.

jesusjnr2020:
Not really, because a woman cannot lead in the church without speaking, and Jesus clearly permitted and sent a woman to speak in the church as you yourself noted, but you deliberately despise His Words because you have no regard for Him, so this is to expose your hypocrisy.

jesusjnr2020:
Did Jesus send the woman to speak in the church or not?

If yes, why is your heart hardened against His Word?

Answer or continue to prove that it's not me but Jesus whose Words that you hate and are rebelling against.

jesusjnr2020:
The church and Israel are both God's flock, and it's the same criteria God used to appoint judges that He used to appoint leaders for the church, that's why you couldn't find any polygamous men among them as you did with the era of the kings which you erroneously compared to that of the judges, so if there's anything flawed here, it's your own logic not mine.

It has everything to do with it because if you already rejected His sayings of Jesus concerning women despite that you knowing that He sent them to speak in the church, it means you've already rejected the chances of a woman leading the church even if He sent them to lead the church because a woman cannot lead the church without being able to speak in the church as Jesus permitted them to do. So it proves this wasn't about if God permitted women to lead the church but a fundamental issue you have with the teachings and instructions of Jesus which you reject to your own peril and destruction.

It's you that has a problem and an ulterior motive here, because you've already proven you very well know that Jesus permitted the woman to speak in the church, but just want to use the Bible as an excuse to justify your rejection of His teachings because it goes against your chauvinistic sentiments against women as the Pharisees used to do then. You really think the saying of an apostle can usurp that of Christ concerning women, right? That exposes what you really think of Christ and where you place Him truly place Him in your heart. You're obviously don't serve Him!

John 20:17-18 (KJV)

Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

Islam is a religious system begun in the seventh century by Muhammad. Muslims follow the teachings of the Qur’an and strive to keep the Five Pillars.



The History of Islam
In the seventh century, Muhammad claimed the angel Gabriel visited him. During these angelic visitations, which continued for about 23 years until Muhammad’s death, the angel purportedly revealed to Muhammad the words of Allah (the Arabic word for “God” used by Muslims). These dictated revelations compose the Qur'an, Islam’s holy book. Islam means “submission,” deriving from a root word that means “peace.” The word Muslim means “one who submits to Allah.”

The Doctrine of Islam
Muslims summarize their doctrine in six articles of faith:
1. Belief in one Allah: Muslims believe Allah is one, eternal, creator, and sovereign.
2. Belief in the angels
3. Belief in the prophets: The prophets include the biblical prophets but end with Muhammad as Allah’s final prophet.
4. Belief in the revelations of Allah: Muslims accept certain portions of the Bible, such as the Torah and the Gospels. They believe the Qur'an is the preexistent, perfect word of Allah.
5. Belief in the last day of judgment and the hereafter: Everyone will be resurrected for judgment into either paradise or hell.
6. Belief in predestination: Muslims believe Allah has decreed everything that will happen. Muslims testify to Allah’s sovereignty with their frequent phrase, inshallah, meaning, “if God wills.”

The Five Pillars of Islam
These five tenets compose the framework of obedience for Muslims:
1. The testimony of faith (shahada): “la ilaha illa allah. Muhammad rasul Allah.” This means, “There is no deity but Allah. Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” A person can convert to Islam by stating this creed. The shahada shows that a Muslim believes in Allah alone as deity and believes that Muhammad reveals Allah.
2. Prayer (salat): Five ritual prayers must be performed every day.
3. Giving (zakat): This almsgiving is a certain percentage given once a year.
4. Fasting (sawm): Muslims fast during Ramadan in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. They must not eat or drink from dawn until sunset.
5. Pilgrimage (hajj): If physically and financially possible, a Muslim must make the pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia at least once. The hajj is performed in the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar.

A Muslim’s entrance into paradise hinges on obedience to these Five Pillars. Still, Allah may reject them. Even Muhammad was not sure whether Allah would admit him to paradise (Surah 46:9; Hadith 5.266).

An Evaluation of Islam
Compared to Christianity, Islam has some similarities but significant differences. Like Christianity, Islam is monotheistic. However, Muslims reject the Trinity—that God has revealed Himself as one in three Persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Muslims claim that Jesus was one of the most important prophets—not God’s Son. Islam asserts that Jesus, though born of a virgin, was created like Adam. Muslims do not believe Jesus died on the cross. They do not understand why Allah would allow His prophet Isa (the Islamic word for "Jesus" ) to die a torturous death. Yet the Bible shows how the death of the perfect Son of God was essential to pay for the sins of the world (Isaiah 53:5-6; John 3:16; 14:6; 1 Peter 2:24).

Islam teaches that the Qur'an is the final authority and the last revelation of Allah. The Bible, however, was completed in the first century with the Book of Revelation. The Bible warns against anyone adding to or subtracting from God’s Word (Deuteronomy 4:2; Proverbs 30:6; Galatians 1:6-12; Revelation 22:18). The Qur’an, as a claimed addition to God’s Word, directly disobeys God’s command.

Muslims believe that paradise can be earned through keeping the Five Pillars. The Bible, in contrast, reveals that sinful man can never measure up to the holy God (Romans 3:23; 6:23). Only by God’s grace may sinners be saved through repentant faith in Jesus (Acts 20:21; Ephesians 2:8-9).

Because of these essential differences and contradictions, Islam and Christianity cannot both be true. The Bible and Qur’an cannot both be God’s Word. The truth has eternal consequences.

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world” (1 John 4:1-4; see also John 3:35-36).

Horus:
The truth is that those so-called wise and prudent theologians know absolutely nothing about the so-called resurrection
simply because it never happened. Easter, or the celebration of the resurrection, is merely a tradition, a tradition that you
have been taught from childhood, and coming into maturity you have accepted it because that is what you were taught.
That is what you read bout. That is what your parents made you observed every Easter Sunday. Thus, you continued to go
along with it and before you knew it, you had carelessly assumed what you now believe without question or proof.
Easter is the feast of feasts celebrated in honor of the risen Christ. You have even reached the point where you will
defend vigorously and emotionally your belief, a belief that can lead you straight to hell.It has become human nature
to flow with the stream, and to go along with the crowd, to believe and perform like those around you. And, even when
you stumble on the truth, you will not believe because like the majority of the people, you stubbornly refuse to believe what
you are unwilling to believe. There is an old saying that says: He who is convinced against his will is of the same opinion still

Please forgive me, as at the time of this write-up or post I was still engaging in praying the "Hail Mary" as a prayer but now *I no longer make such engagement*. Prayer in the new testament is Jesus talking to/with His Father by the Power of the Holy Spirit inside a believer. Great Grace!!!

jesusjnr2020:
The way God appointed judges for Israel is the same way He appoints leaders for the church, so it's wrong to think my logic was flawed. But assuming you're right... was it Israel or the church Jesus sent a woman to bear the important message of His resurrection to?

If you avoid the foregoing question again, it means your belief that a woman was not permitted to speak in the church was ulterior motivated and has nothing to do with Christ.

jesusjnr2020:
You didn't go by my logic but yours flawed assumptions, because you didn't cite an example from the era of the judges which was God's Will for Israel as God Himself was their King, but from that of the kings which was consequent upon Israel rejecting God as their King after asking for a king to lead them.

Moreover the criteria God used to appoint judges to lead Israel was different from that of the kings, as that of the judges was the same He uses for His church, but that of kings was based on lineage, that's why there were many evil kings but not one single evil judge, because their judges were not just political leaders as the kings were, but also spiritual leaders.

That could also explain why there was no single polygamous man appointed to lead Israel in the era of the judges otherwise you name one.

So both your assumption and logic in this case were obviously flawed, but assuming you're right and not just using this as an excuse to justify your personal bias against women, that makes you think women weren't permitted to speak, talk less of leading the church, was it Israel that Jesus sent the woman to deliver the important message of His resurrection to or the church?

I just saw a post on Facebook that was talking about how some pastors fornicate with their members, both married and unmarried. How true is this ?? Have you witness??

John 7:53-8:1-11



The Pharisees were just like ANCIENT REDPILLERS. They hated people who were woke like Jesus (just like redpillers hate simps today) and probably viewed him as a SIMP. They brought only the woman to be punished and left the man

They also wanted to trap him because in those days the Romans colonised the Jews and had outlawed executions. So if Jesus had agreed they would have reported him to the Roman authorities.

Jesus IQ points is like 1000. Redpillers/Pharisees on the other hand can only dream of scoring -53 in an IQ test.

BE LIKE JESUS.

jesusjnr2020:
Is A Woman Qualified To Lead God's Flock?

Since it's God's own flock in question here, It means that it's not up to men to answer this question but God.

One instance in the Bible where God emphatically answered this question was that which He appointed a woman, prophet Deborah, to be Judge over His people, Israel.

Judges 4:4-5 (KJV)

And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

She was the first woman and only woman God appointed as judge over His people Israel according to the Bible.

Although the rest of the judges God appointed to lead Israel were male, it appeared that God intentionally used her to make a resounding statement that a woman was also qualified to lead His flock regardless.

Moreover, God also ensured that during her leadership over His people Israel, it was also via a woman's hand that He gave Israel victory over their enemies, to confirm the fact that her appointment wasn't a coincidence but very intentional from God, as He wanted to show that He could also choose women and use them to accomplish what He uses men to do, even though He doesn't always do that.

Judges 4:8-9 (KJV)

And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.

Therefore God didn't see it as evil to appoint a woman to be judge over His people Israel, despite that among His people were also men, who He hence placed under her leadership and consequently under obligation to receive instructions from her, while she received instructions directly from God on how to lead them.

Interestingly this took place prior to coming of Christ, when the woman was yet under the curse which God placed on her because of her sin in the beginning, yet God deemed it wise in His sight to appoint a woman to lead His flock Israel, so how much more after Christ had come and redeemed the woman from the curse of her sin?

Hence God has not stopped but is still very much appointing women to lead His flock up til this very day just as He did with Deborah in the Bible days, even though it may not be as often as He does with the men, because in His sight as proven in the Bible, a woman is also eminently qualified to lead His flock.

If any man thinks otherwise, let him argue with God, because this is not my own view or that of any prophet or apostle, but that of God Himself who chose a woman, prophetess Deborah, to lead His own flock, and used her to deliver His people, Israel, from the hands of their enemies.

And if God had chosen a woman to lead His flock in the past, He could still do it again today, so for anyone believes that a woman is not qualified to speak in the church, not to talk of leading them, they should get ready to be left out of what God would do and is already doing in these last days concerning women, because they shouldn't expect God to change His own ways because of them.

For God doesn't follow man. It's man that ought to follow God. So any man regardless of who he is, who doesn't follow God but still expects God to follow him is bound to find himself walking on his own.

God bless.
