Lecturer

Chai!!

We are doomed.

So we are going to have graduates in this country who have been taught that earthquakes and malari are caused by sin ?

It's no wonder then that we depend on drugs manufactured in a Hindu nation to cure us of many common illnesses.

You don't understand what I said, I simply pointed out that because we allowed sin into the world. God's creation became corrupted, and that is the reason why we experience this things.

But not to worry we have a perfect world waiting for us when this world finishes it's course.

this is the best they can do, if u like pay if you like don't pay....that line had been overused wen they cut defend tithes anymore with any bible verses.

from common sense, it is obvious from the bible that tithe was never money eg Deut 14 vs 22 to 29...
tithe is old practice of the Jews, levites, priesthood, burnt offerings, etc

pls come defend what u believe in and not jst use the old liner, if u like pay if u like dont pay...or u received blessings which only u can feel and see

S247:
True pastors are GOD'S representatives, so anything given to them are given to GOD.

can u back this up with any bible verse...tell me whr it says pastors are God reps and we should remit 10% to them

Our korokoro eyes are opened now unlike b4.

Is this really what you believe? really? in 2016? No questions asked? No second opinion? And you are a lecturer? What are you people so afraid of? Death? Everyone dies, salvation or not, tithe or not, nothing will save you from death, it is assured for every living organism.

P.S IsiL and the likes all believe in your afterlife mantra, well i hope you set your mind free someday.

SUPERPACK:

The tithe in the old testament was made to be given to the Levites who do not work except for God,
Numbers 18:21,
"And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service of the tabernacle of the congregation."
.
God also instructed the levites to pay tithe to the priest.
.
Hebrew 18:26
"Speak to the Levites and
say to them: 'When you
receive from the Israelites
the tithe I give you as your
inheritance, you must
present a tenth of that tithe
as the LORD's offering.
.
Now if the pastors collect the tithe as levites, who are the priests they pay to.

Pastors are 'everything' - the Levites, the Priests, and even the Lord. So it's not hard a thing to receive the tithe from one hand and transfer same to another.

saying it till eternity those who will pay will, also those who will not, will not, ds not d first tym these topic will be treated so y involving in such argument.. our mentality are different.

I know how God bless me and convenant he made for me paying tithes....( that. non of your business)

no mata how its preached, ppl still won't. so its either their love for God is actually shallow n lip service alone or they don't know the usefulness of it n lemme add selfishness too.

topdee:


God is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient: Why did God hand everything to Man when he knew the outcome already, irrespective of what Man decides God already knows. What is the point of existence when God knew there would be good and evil, even Man never asked to be created, so why blame Man.

Food for thought.

Food for your thought.

Man is responsible for his actions. God is a being of love, and he created man with freewill and allowed evil to exist so that he would eventually deal with it forever

/

ONLY POOR PEOPLE PAY TITHES.

Rich people donate to the churches.

we read same bible, why don't u point it out to me where it says we should pay tithe, it's not a matter of if some1 like or not, let's reason like intelligent beings and bring out facts and truth. The same bible tells us to seek the truth and it shall set us free....
I'm aware the issue of tithe has been over flogged on NL and many eyes ve been opened to the truth and they ve been set free. I know many testimonies of people freed from lies and bondages of tithes and many shall still be freed

Jesus was also running a non profit organization, but he paid his tax.

the tax He paid was not a landed property tax. Church is a landed property and it's a non-profit org.

jmann2:
His church?
Now I see.
It is his church and not Christ's church.
Bro, you are right.

That was the context of the submission I commented on. The more reason why I said if you don't trust him, why attend "his" church.

truth be told, churches are making more money than many profit organisations put together.
The acct balances of some churches can fund a state's budget.
then u tell me it's non profit when profit sharing is done among their leaders.
Tell me how jesus made money during his life time, through recipient of tithes?

Fadman4real:


I am actually a lecturer, and can you point to any of the facts I mentioned that is not true

Earthquake is caused by sin?
A lecturer?

Religious and mythological studies Abi. God dey!

S247:
churches involve in souls winning which make them non-profit making organizations

they do soul winning? ur pastor that acquired 2 private jets worth about US$120million, he did it for soulwinning, right? mtcheeeew. If they are truly into soulwinning, let them use dat money to build houses and supply adequate food for over 2million IDPs in the north, i bet u, over 1million IDPs wil surrender their lives to JESUS. Thats how u win souls

anybody who says tithe was money and believe should be paid....kindly explain clearly this chapter of the bible otherwise forever keep silent till eternity........




Deuteronomy 14:22-29 New International Version (NIV)
Tithes
22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the
Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27
And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.
28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands....

well, jst like smone rytly said, true churches must obey legal authorities but now that there's really no constitutional provision for church taxation, there's no point, trying to extort the church of God.

than you, at least a nice response.

Annunaki:


Because tithes as it is preached today is derived by fraudulently twisting old testament scriptures that are not relevant to christianity to extort 10% of the income of believers. Christians are not meant to tithe

I am sure you are not a christian.

So tithe is the only way we can show how deep our love for God is? For the records, I didn't tithe. I don't believe in it. Needless to say, for the last 7 years, there's never been a month I've not given more than 20% of my income to take care of the needs of people. If God won't bless me because I don't TITHE, then He will bless me for giving. It's my call.

Chemcrown:

I don't pay tithe but give generously and yet God is blessing me divinely. Start reading Malachi from chapter 1 and don't just pick chapt 3 vs 10. Thanks.

Malachi from chapter 1 to 3 was addressed to the priests if you read in between the lines.
