I would have been shocked if some rude dude didn't say something rude.

I am quoting the Amplified version for easier understanding. Also, I am showing several verses so you can see where Jesus started talking:

Luke 11:
37Now while Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to take dinner with him, so He entered and reclined at table.

38The Pharisee noticed and was astonished [to see] that Jesus did not first wash before dinner.

39But the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside you yourselves are full of greed and robbery and extortion and malice and wickedness.

40You senseless (foolish, stupid) ones [acting without reflection or intelligence]! Did not He Who made the outside make the inside also?

41But [dedicate your inner self and] give as donations to the poor of those things which are within [of inward righteousness] and behold, everything is purified and clean for you.

42But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every [little] herb, but disregard and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done without leaving the others undone.

Vers 42 in KJV - But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Jesus is plainly telling them that "Tithing, they ought to have done but not leave other things undone."
So Jesus didn't preach a sermon on it but He referenced it. But remember, God loves a cheerful giver. If you can't release your tithes & offering cheerfully (because you love God), then just go ahead and buy yourself a happy meal with the dough.


---Don't hate the messenger----

U asked a str8 forward question. Here is a str8 forward answer with some reference:

John14:6 - Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.

Note that the 'Father' is the one that reigns in heaven.

In summary, if you die as a free thinker, you will not make it to heaven.


Note - I am not the author of the bible. So don't get mad at a brother.

@J-girl
Mark 10 - 2And some Pharisees came up, and, in order to test Him and try to find a weakness in Him, asked, Is it lawful for a man to [a]dismiss and repudiate and divorce his wife?

3He answered them, What did Moses command you?

4They replied, Moses allowed a man to write a bill of divorce and to put her away.(A)

5But Jesus said to them, Because of your hardness of heart [[b]your condition of insensibility to the call of God] he wrote you this [c]precept in your Law.

6But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.(B)

7For this reason a man shall leave [behind] his father and his mother [d]and be [e]joined to his wife and cleave closely to her permanently,

8And the two shall become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.(C)

9What therefore God has united (joined together), let not man separate or divide.

10And indoors the disciples questioned Him again about this subject.

11And He said to them, Whoever [f]dismisses (repudiates and divorces) his wife and marries another commits adultery against her;

12And if a woman dismisses (repudiates and divorces) her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.


Also, - Matthew 18:
21Then Peter came up to Him and said, Lord, how many times may my brother sin against me and I forgive him and [h]let it go? [As many as] up to seven times?

22Jesus answered him, I tell you, not up to seven times, but seventy times seven!(C)

23Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a human king who wished to settle accounts with his attendants.

@poster - Forgive him and pray for God to touch his heart for the better. If you divorce him, there's no telling what the next guy will do. The GRASS is not even as green on the otherside! Work to improve the grass you have already. I am not promoting a license to sin or to cheat but you need to forgive if only once. Remember 'the Lord's prayer' which was an example of prayer given to the disciples, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive, "

@papermoon

Why do you have to look at his phone when he is in the shower? Why not right in front of him? If he has nothing to hide, you can look at his phone right in front of him. Who knows you might want to see what kind of games he has on it,

Furthermore, the fact that you looked through his phone when he was in the shower meant you never trusted him. So tell me, why were you dating him?

As long as you are not using the car as a non-governmental transportation medium for other babes, you should be fine. Otherwise, you may need glasses to cover your black-eye

@poster

Is it possible that the Ex thinks you are the girl's cousin? Who knows, mr. Ex might even invite you to be the his best-man when he marries the babe.

Shine your eyes. Use glasses, add wipers.

Your friend should really be locked up in jail for a little while. This would do justice to his nerves.

Small boy, you really have only one way out in this matter. Any other way you take will lead to you becoming a great chief in hell.

Way out: Give your life to Jesus - He is the way, the truth and the light. You need Him now more than ever.

Why are you all giving this guy bad advice.

Don't mind them all. Just simply ask your mum to decide for you. It is that simple. No prayers needed, nothing. Just mum's advise.

Are you sure your dad is not the girls father? And that he is just trying to hide that fact under astrology? Maybe he just found out!
Just a thought,

Ask him to invite the first wife so you can all have a round table discussion,

Beni, A tun ti de. A ti gbe oro Jesu de.

Take the word of God and apply it. His word says you are healed. No medical verdict can overcome the word of God but you can only connect to God's word with Joy and faith. Don't let fear bug your life because joy needs to be in your life for God to be there, "In the presence of God, there is fullness of Joy". To have faith, you have to study all the scriptures related to that so that you will know that it is the will of God as God only responds to prayers that are in line with His will. Read Deut 7:15 and Ijohn 5:14 & 15 to start,

Stay blessed.

fstranger,

You hit the nail on the head. This guy seems like an imitation of a dude.
