petra1: I like your post. Let me tell you this is what happens when all Dick, Tom And Harry claim to be man of God and what to open a church at the slightest opportunity, collect tithe and offering. Everyday you here news of scams, fight, immorality about this so called men of God yet you want people to keep quiet that whatever they like they can do with the money...... There is really urgent need for a re-awakening, we need to break free from the culturescape which includes religion. Better be spiritual. As a fact religion has done more harm than good. If you ask me other names for religion are hypocrisy, confusion etc. "I like your christ but i dont like your christians" -Ghandi. 1 Like |
Religion / Re: What the "Sheeples" need to know about Tithing And Giving To Pastors by 1stflight: 6:36am On Nov 12, 2017 |
The best balanced view or explanation on the tithe issue you just gave there. The rather unfortunate thing about the issue is the pastors who responded did not give an informed or balanced response instead they were just "one way" and emotional in their arguments which give room to questioning their motive. Woe betides anyone who tells me i get saved or receive prosperity only when i give to "God" or the church a tenth of my earning even when i dont earn enough to feed me. That said there is nothing stopping me from giving a voluntary donation for the continuity of the ministry or gospel as the need arises since we all know and agree that money makes all things happen. |

I don't understand!!! "6 reasons why a pastor needs you in his/her life". Consideration of that will give a balanced view of the topic under consideration. @OP:Can you take up the challenge. #JustThinking #ConfusionEverywhere |

Olifiz: I cant relate your illustration about water to the topic of discourse. It is important to know the reason the law was given as i showed in an earlier post. Due to the sanctity of the blood, God gave a law that human can eat all animals (flesh) and not with the blood, this must be poured on the ground.....Gen9v4, Deut12v23-25. Fast forward to Acts15, due to paganism some people started eating or consuming blood hence the need for the law in verses 28-29 "about abstaining from blood........". No reference was made about transfusing blood here.......transfusion of blood is nlt same as eating of blood. About the use of blood fractions, is that not double standard If going by your belief, God frown at transfusing of blood, but fractions of the same blood can be given. I dont get except you can educate me on the source of the blold fraction...... Peace!!! |

@All: on the issue of blood, I have 2 points to make. 1. To understand Acts 15: 20,28&29 we need to ask some questions. Let me quote verse 29: "that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality........ ".(NKJV). The first question is why was this instruction given? Genesis 9:3,4sheds some light. Verse 4:"but you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, it's blood "(NKJV). This was after God said every animals should be food for Adam. It was clearly stated, don't eat the animals(flesh) with their blood(original instruction). Now fast forward to Acts 15, reading the whole chapter it was written about circumcision. Lots of pagan practices have crept into the congregation which includes eating or direct consumption of blood hence the need for that instructions. My second question: "Can the start of medical transfusion be dated as early as that time?" If not, if not I don't under the interpretation of JW that "abstain" involves blood transfusion. 2. You won't accept blood transfusion but you can accept blood fractions. Is that not double standard?? 1 Like |

uboma: Spot on bro! Spot on.... This kinda "testimonies" from christians get me worried. @OP, how are you sure none of the people that died are not members of chosen church, or does it mean member of the church do not or cannot die? People die everyday. Anyway, i wish those they leave behind power and strength to cope with the loss. |

Religion / Re: Should A Christian Keep A Gun To Protect Himself From Other Humans? by 1stflight: 11:13am On Sep 24, 2017 |
luap1990: Ask the question below and you find answer to your question: "Should a christian rely on others carrying a gun to protect him?" How do i mean: in case you sense armed robbers raiding in your area at night and you know they might get to your appartment, should you alert any gun carrying men to the rescue(if possible)? If YES, for what reason?? To me HYPOCRISY is another name for religion, christianity especially. |
