my posts here are assuming the context is a bible based church.

2buff: LOL @ monitoring. So someone can precog-monitor You to happen to be there when you never planned on happening to be at church that morning for whatever inconsistent reason?
yes, as you well know.


And if your church has no welfare? And do not intend on it?
start one.





You don't know hard it can be for someone in this part of the world having no credit and unable to borrow from other sources.
They can only turn to God. At that point in time, it becomes up to whoever answers the call.
you can answer the call with other pocket money you have besides tithe.

or is your own tithe 200% of your income?


eg instead of buying the latest bling bling or some other frivolity, give the cash to the person in need.





But know this, there has never been a time such calls in the Spirit have been made, and I having answered them, was not met with a stupendous burst of blessing in my life thereafter.
The next month, I simply resume paying tithe to the building, but the special project has been done and the blessings attained.

I will leave the matter at that and continue to do what works for me.
translate, thanks.

2buff: LOL now I think you're just being bitter.

I'll stop now for the sake of preventing derailment.
But those who want to can meditate on what I have written here.
so the thought of giving up two bottles of your daily load of beer,and using the money to help the poor instead, is so scary to you? huh

or is it the thought of your girlfriend/s reaction if you dont supply them the funds for blackberry, recharge cards or brazilian hair, that you find so disturbing?


na wa o. undecided

please dont bring your illiteracy and madness here.

if you dont know why TFA was written, ask those who are not illiterate like you.

ode.

everything in your life has a tribal connotation- i pity whoever raised you wrong.
Christianity Etc › Re: Is It Wrong To Give Your Tithe To The Poor by tpia5: 5:03pm On Oct 18, 2012
the money you were intending to use for a new car, pair of jeans, girlfriend, etc, can also be used to help the poor.


the price of two bottles of odeku (beer) can feed someone.


you and your girlfriend/s can donate the funds meant for brazilian hair and blackberry, as well as buying nollywood movies to add to the thousands of titles you already have, can also be given to the poor.
Christianity Etc › Re: Is It Wrong To Give Your Tithe To The Poor by tpia5: 5:01pm On Oct 18, 2012
But how is it, that you happen to step into church one early morning when nobody is there(not even on a sunday) and you see a brother or sister (who even diligently serves in the church on top) crying their heart out to God over an urgent/dire situation that can be solved with the money you have kept to give next Sunday as tithe...and I mean EXACT amount(and you have nothing else).
if you find yourself in such a situation, that means the person must have been monitoring you.


either bring up the issue before the church committee in charge of welfare and/or help the person with money from your personal pocket, separate from your tithe.


this stuff isnt that hard to figure out- no need for all the twisting and such.

"the info should be on google"

is different from


"dont open a thread about this because the info is on google"

in any case, since when does any nler pay attention to my opinion? huh

i dont control anybody's finger or keyboard talkless regulating what they type.
Christianity Etc › Re: What Is God Called In The Arabic Translation Of The Bible? by tpia5: 4:44pm On Oct 18, 2012
you sound like the walrus in AIW.

"with sobs and tears he sorted out, those of the largest size"




Anyway, God is probably translated as Allah in the Arabic bible, since that's the common terminology used to refer to Him by Arabs.

the info should be on google btw.

Family › Re: Husband Taking Money From Wife's Purse - What Should She Do? by tpia5: 4:08pm On Oct 18, 2012
does she want him to get the money outside? huh


there are many women looking for husbands who can oblige her.

unless she thinks he's spending the money on some anti-social activity, why cant they both sit down and work out how much he needs.
Christianity Etc › Re: Is It Sinful For A Christian To Listen To Secular Music??? by tpia5: 3:52pm On Oct 18, 2012
however, music preceded the earth, as we can see from bible verses such as this one:


“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone—
7 while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?
job 38



music started being used for depraved purposes as a result of satan's fall.
Christianity Etc › Re: Is It Sinful For A Christian To Listen To Secular Music??? by tpia5: 3:49pm On Oct 18, 2012
music is a two edged sword.

can be used either for good or evil.
Christianity Etc › Re: Degrees And Titles by tpia5: 3:40pm On Oct 18, 2012
yes, people should stop going to school, and end up arming themselves with planks to batter the lives out of those who do get an education.


instead of envying others, why not see how you can personally better yourself, or did the chinese expressly say you shouldnt do so.

[quote author=Richy.]The guy that was beating them with plank should have a separate punishment frying him with grandnut oil alive would be appropriate. that guy has a bitter heart [/quote]cant be the first time he has killed people in that manner.
Crime › Re: Uniport Killings: Suspects Charged With Conspiracy, Murder by tpia5: 3:35pm On Oct 18, 2012
the planker seems to be a cultist, going by what those who know him are saying.

and the fact that he's still at large, needs to be looked into.

however, i dont think he was the only one with a plank (was he?), just the most animalistic.

2makeit: Honestly dat is something i have been asking myself for years.....but all great hit songs have something in common.

Beats, Delivery and Beat.

But there are some exceptions of course....if the song have a good financial muscles pushing it with time it will sink into peoples head.

@ cwashpam

so sad.

one of the students was trying to help his friend even in the flames.

i really dont know how anyone could watch the footage and not admire the boys' courage.

talkless coming online to talk trash.

@ truckpusher

i agree with you.

the security network in nigeria is being eroded one step at a time, in preparation for another war possibly preceded or followed by genocide.

A different thought on the Aluu4. Why didn't these four healthy young men put up a fight, fight back to back and get some casualties on the other side. Simply cos they were innocent and didn't believe it would end in their end. But this is a lesson to us, sometimes its better to fight, don't stay there begging and praying cos it might be late.
true.

they didnt understand the mentality of the mob.

they were trying to reason with them.

people (?) who had been planning the slaughter for a while.

as to whether these boys were the intended victims, only God knows.
Literature › Re: Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart Should Be Banned - Femi Robinson by tpia5: 12:38pm On Oct 18, 2012
Things fall apart was ostensibly written as a rejoinder to joseph conrad's Heart of darkness, which detailed the extent of savagery in a country in africa (possibly nigeria or congo)


So, heart of darkness should be read in conjunction with TFA, imo.

I havent seen the new book yet, so cant give an opinion.

But since TFA is supposedly fiction while the new one is not, then it (new book) can be compared with girls at war, which is about the conflict and was written immediately after.
