“In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD” (John 1:1) “And the LORD GOD formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7) “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3) “For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; GOD himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else” (Isaiah 45:18 ) “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth” (Psalms 33:6) “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. (Psalms 24:1)
The Sovereignty of GOD
“Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is GOD in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else” (Deuteronomy 4:39) “Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting GOD, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding” (Isaiah 40:28 ) “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our GOD, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:7-9) “Thou art worthy, O LORD, to receive glory honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created” (Revelation 4:11)
JESUS CHRIST is the Son of GOD
“For GOD so Loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For GOD sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of GOD” (John 3:16-18) “Whosoever shall confess that JESUS is the Son of GOD, GOD dwelleth in him, and he in GOD” (1 John 4:15) “For there is one GOD, and one mediator between GOD and men, the man CHRIST JESUS; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:5-6) “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: All things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” (Colossians 1:14-17) “Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.” (1 John 2:23) “ JESUS saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) “This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:11-12)
The Last Days
“That ye be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the LORD and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation” (2 Peter 3:2-4 ) “The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9) “For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of GOD: and the dead in CHRIST shall rise first:” (1 Thessalonians 4:16) “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8 )
JESUS CHRIST is our LORD and Saviour
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23) “But GOD commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8 ) “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the LORD;” (Acts 3:19) “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in earth, and things in heaven, and things in the earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:10-11) “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10) “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear GOD, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13) “And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.” (1 John 3:23) “That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our LORD JESUS CHRIST: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the KING of kings, and the LORD of lords;” (1 Timothy 6:14-15) “I am ALPHA and OMEGA, the beginning and the ending, saith the LORD, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” (Revelation 1:8 )
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding" (Proverbs 9:10) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth forever" (Psalm 111:10)

who dash your monkey banana wey him come dey jubilate...
its not this kind of truth that hurts!! hmn
like all others, its strictly your belief.
BTW.. pls don tampinu again.
Na JAH dash my sinner Salvation, you cannot dictate what type of truth I should speak on a forum where the theme is Salvation and the OP has the choice to ask me not to comment but prefers to listen to the word of the living God, which penetrates all darkness and obstacles.
It is not my belief as I don't believe in anything. Ra'Star4Eye taught eye to know or know not. Believe has the word lie in between it and as I don't tell lies I try to eschew belief. I know or know not. And I know that RASTA is the way. Rev 2:17, Rev 3:12
Is it now the type of truth that hurts? Sorry to disappoint you but Jeezus is fake and the true saviour does not have blue eyes. Read Psalm 87, KJV.
I think I will continue to Tampinu for as long as the original owner of this post is willing and able to accommodate me. Bless him.
sendmeonly: 5.0 THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH WHERE RIGHTEOUSNESS DWELLS
PAGE 545 - 555
First lesson: 2 Peter: 3:13
"Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
Second lesson: Revelation: 21:1-2
" And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away: and there was no more sea. And I John saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."
Golden text: Revelation: 14:7
"Saying with a loud voice. Fear God and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgement has come: and worship Him who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of water."
Brethren, the texts above form the theme of our revelation. The difference between the real worshippers of God and worshippers of men is that the former serve God and the latter work for human beings. In the world, you cannot render any service to any person except you are given gratification. Before somebody accepts to preach to a group of people, he has already agreed with the people on condition of being given a fee. Whoever renders a service is paid and without a fee is no service rendered. Such a person does not worship God but a human being. Another form of man worship is when an eye-service is rendered. When people are around you do not commit any vice, you pretend to be righteous but when you are alone, you commit all sorts of atrocities. In such a situation you do not fear God but man.
5.1 WE OUGHT TO FEAR GOD RATHER THAN MAN
Whenever you want to do any good to somebody, you will make sure that every person in the community is present to witness what you are doing. This is another form of man worship. Lip service is yet another form, when you are prepared to flatter. You may be assigned to a certain duty, which you proffer but not performed. If you give a piece of advice to somebody and he derives some benefits from it because he had complied with it, then you gallivant about telling people that you are the brain behind the man's success and that without your advice he would not have succeeded, such an action tantamounts to man worship. Always you fear and respect the man you see but you neither fear God nor worship Him. The worship of God consists in your rendering a service without a fee or praise, you toil but do not count the costs, labour and without asking for any reward. You render free service to people without being asked. When you give advice or make presents, do them free of charge and in secret, do not make any announcement believing that you do them to God and not to man. You do not want any person to thank you or to praise you for what you have done. You should not even wait for people to come around to see what you have done. This amounts to worshipping God in spirit and in truth. Wherever you are and whatever your condition always do good even in the forest or at your house, concentrate in doing good, do not tell lies or bear grudge against any person, you should be unchangeable in your behaviour, constant wherever you are. You have heard that God is Omnipresent, He is also Omniscient and He is Omnipotent. If, therefore, you should take these attributes of God for a truth then you would remain constant and unchanging in your good conduct. If you do not sin when you are in the market or in your room or in your office, you are a true worshipper of God. However if you do not sin while in the open but sin when you are alone, then you are worshipping man.
Why are you afraid of considering a different view on tithing?
Why are you still clinging to the believe in tithe when there's an option here to free you from the lies?
I first came across the falsehood of tithe as far back as 2011. The revelation really shook me as my eyes become clear to what was going on in Christendom. For those that know me on nairaland, you know I'm usually seen opening and debating on Islamic threads so as to rescue Muslims whom I believe Jesus loves. But I've noticed that even in my own Christian backyard, there a people whim Satan has blindfolded through false prophets.
Jesus said that in the end there will be false prophets and wolves in sheep clothing. I'll like to play a game with you. Let's see if you can answer the question below.
Can you name 5 wolves in sheep clothing that we have in Nigeria today?
I'm sure you were not able to even think of one. I can assure you that you probably worship under the roof governed by a false prophet. The reason why you do not know is simply because they have put on sheep clothing to prevent you from seeing their ravenous nature.
Now, a man called Freeze has called several of Nigeria's top pastors for milking the children of God using a tithe doctrine that is not applicable to Christians. How have your revered pastors handled the matter?
They came up with no scriptural backing of tithe, instead they resort to attacking the messenger instead of addressing the message. Isn't that what we see with our corrupt politicians?
Pastor Adeboye stylishly called him a drunk while Pastor Ashimolowo attacked his personal life by calling him a drunk, an adulterer and a wife beater while others have wondered why a man who couldn't keep his marriage now thinks he can order the church around.
This is where freeze falls short. He didn't make himself clean and spotless before embarking on saving God's people from the shackles of false men.
Good, he's all that according to them, but why haven't they addressed the message he brings? Pastor Adeboye has taken to saying that God spoke to him confirming that tithe is good. This is simply an Open insult of God. How can God speak to you without anyone to witness it? His statement means that God forgot to give him the Bible passages to use to back up the tithe doctrine which most of his church members are becoming skeptical of.
Let me Play another game with you.
In what way have you tested your pastor to be sure he is truly sent by God?
Majority who read the question definitely have no answer to it. They have believe their pastor from birth and hold him in high esteem.
Let's forget the fact that the money was not your "earning" but you had to feel threatened by words from a pastor that you should not allow someone to obstruct you from paying tithe to an already full and a bloated purse?
Your pastor think 'God ' will be pleased by failing to offer help to the less privileged and the needy but bringing it to the church.
Where did you keep your brain ?.You could not even sense a foul play in that statement? A law student that cannot think clearly is that one a law student?

Spirituality:
"The temple of the most high begins with the human body, which houses our life, essence of our existence. Africans are in bondage today because they approach spirituality through Religion provided by foreign invaders and conquerors. We must stop confusing religion and spirituality. Religion is a set of rules, regulations and rituals created by humans which were supposed to help people grow spiritually.
Due to human imperfection religion has become corrupt, political, divisive and a tool for power struggle. Spirituality is not theology or ideology. It is simply a way of life, pure and original as was given by the Most High. Spirituality is a network linking us to the Most High, the universe and each other. As the essence of our existence it embodies our culture, true identity, nationhood and destiny. A people without a nation they can really call their own is a people without a soul. Africa is our nation and is in spiritual and physical bondage because her leaders are turning to outside forces for solutions to African problems when everything Africa needs is within her. When African righteous people come together, the world will come together. This is our divine destiny".
2. Would you say that the worship of The creator, Jehovah God is "foreign"? Because the bible has proved to be his word, and what we do we learn from it.

Thank you for the questions; in a question can a destiny be measured. A question shows humility on the part of the questioner, and expected knowledge on that of the questionee...hmmm
I have not derailed from the topic, for you and I are Africans; and Emperor Haile Selassie I has told us that we are in bondage for following foreign religion (Google Haile Selassie I on Spirituality).
Secondly, to worship Jehovah God is not foreign, however to do so according to the teachings, leanings and doctrine that is not originally African, is erroneous and dangerous.

DJurry: It's just a few minutes left before his world shatters into fragments and he doesn't know yet! Ade has been anticipating this night for a long time; a sensual night of romping the sheets with his beloved wife. He's aroused and she appears to be too. Then, something strange occurs which has never occurred before! He fails to have a full erection. His excitement is quickly doused with utter shame as his wife gives him a quizzical glance and then moves away softly to the right side of the bed. The show has ended! He too moves away, like a wounded soldier, and lays down on the left side of the bed. "What is happening?", he keeps asking himself.
If you are bugged by Weak Erection, I'm pretty sure you can relate with Ade's untold story. Now, even though Erectile Dysfunction is not a life-threatening disease, it can seriously hurt your self-esteem as a man and may gradually progress into infidelity, a messy break-up or divorce! Abstinence is humanly difficult so your woman, if uncaring, can find another man to satiate her needs. I wouldn't want this to happen to you so I'm here to help!
After numerous observations and studies as a Human Physiologist, I have come to the conclusion that the increasing incidence of disease and the decreasing lifespan of the average Nigerian is due to the growing gap between Humanity and Mother Nature; a gap which was virtually absent during the days of our forefathers who lived a relatively simple life! The growing hustle and bustle of the Modern Age, didn't just bring the good but the bad for it shifts our attention from one important aspect of life: our health. Due to this gap, many diseases, including Erectile Dysfunction prevails. Nevertheless, I believe that we can bridge this gap and enjoy a longer, stronger and happier life by adopting the 5 age-old principles of Healthy Living. I outlined them, for your reading pleasure, in my 7-Page eBook (also in an audio format) which is actually free!
By the way, to solve this ugly problem you have, I want you to realize that your true sex organ is not your "little friend" down there but your brain up there! To understand, let me clarify what Erectile Dysfunction, really is. When a healthy man is sexually aroused by either what he thinks, sees or feels, his brain sends neural signals downwards to the penile muscles which cause their relaxation, the consequent inflow of blood and engorgement (erection). However, due to a number of risk factors, which I listed in that eBook, brain signals can fail to cause proper relaxation of penile muscles, leading to the inability of your organ to be engorged with blood and "rise to the occasion".
Now, before I conclude, I would like us to run a quick test! Are you ready? Okay!
When you woke up this morning, did you notice an erection while still on your bed? If NO, then the dysfunction that troubles you is PHYSIOLOGICAL (in your body) and I highly suggest you get my eBook to see the list of risk factors and identify the cause of yours. You certainly cannot fight an enemy you do not know!
However, if you saw an erection in the morning, then what troubles you is simply PSYCHOLOGICAL (in your mind). Your true sex organ, the brain, actually needs to be calm and stress-free to perform well, its work of inducing erections. If you run a mental-draining job or you're in a dire financial crisis for instance, you should not be surprised if you get home and find it difficult to be "turned on" even if external conditions are ideal. Also, having a low self-esteem can cause "Psychological" Weak Erection for it wears off the brain. It wouldn't be surprising if Ade, from the story I shared, encounters another epic failure in bed, the following night. He has lost his confidence!
I'm pretty sure the question on your mind now is, "How can I have this eBook?" Well, before I get onto that, I want to inform you of what to expect when you begin studying it. Firstly, you'll learn the blunt truth that led you to having this problem. Secondly, you'll understand the relationship between Weak Erection and Premature Ejaculation. Thirdly, you'll learn the 10 risk factors that increase your chances of having Erectile Dysfunction. Fourthly, you'll learn the 7 reasons why you should do something right now to resolve this issue. Also, you'll learn about the Principles of Healthy Living and how to quickly apply them to solve this embarrassing problem and regain your life.
The 7-Page eBook OR the 21-minute Audio (if you prefer) is free, but to have your copy, I ask of one thing from you. Text, as an SMS, "ED; FULL NAME; AGE; LOCATION; OCCUPATION; EMAIL and CHOICE FORMAT" to 0813 049 6612. For example, "E.D; AKPAN SIMON; 30 Years; SURULERE, LAGOS; SELF-EMPLOYED; SIM23@YAHOO.COM; AUDIO.
I respect your privacy so I have to do this to protect your email against spam as well as to serve you better. You'll be notified via SMS, within 24 hours, when your free copy has been sent to your email.
The point is to show us that Haile Selassie I is the only foundation...Let us not be fooled by Foreign religion...see my page for more details... And the point of your question is?
If you dont want me to comment on your post, just say so and I promise to stay away. Peace
pimper24: We were close friends at the law school. I and Tony were actually seen as brothers at the Abuja campus. We both worshipped at the Redeemed Church outside the gate. One day, my brother visited from town and gave me 20 thousand naira.
I bought my beverages with few other items and the money remained just my tithe - N 2000. Lo and behold, Tony came knocking that he was in desperate need of exactly 2000.i was struck and a bit confused whether to give him the tithe but remembered a pastor way back in BLW saying even human being could constitute a devourer and obstacle in your blessing from tithe.
I did not have the courage to tell Tony that I had the money but couldn't help him, I rather told him that the little money left was not up to what he was demanding and that I kept it for my upkeep till my next allowance from home.
Next Sunday came in 2days, we were always seated together in the church. I had forgotten Tony' s request and packaged my 2k tithe in an envelope in his presence. Tithe was announced and i gladly worked to the pulpit. I realized myself when I came back to the seat.
Till date our relationship was strained. I had sought justification foe my actions and got it from few Christian friends but the recent tithe debacles from different quarters made me remember this.
No, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not practice tithing; our work is financed by anonymous voluntary donations. What is a tithe, and why don’t Jehovah’s Witnesses practice tithing?
The commandment to tithe, or contribute a tenth of one’s belongings, was part of the Law given to the ancient nation of Israel. However, the Bible makes it clear that this Law—including the “commandment to collect tithes”—does not apply to Christians.—Hebrews 7:5, 18; Colossians 2:13, 14.
Rather than giving required tithes and offerings, Jehovah’s Witnesses imitate the early Christians and support their ministry in two ways: by performing their personal ministerial work without pay and by making voluntary donations.
We thus follow the Bible’s direction to Christians: “Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”—2 Corinthians 9:7.
Mahvey: The tithe controversy which has been on social medias for a while now has not yet packed off as OAP freeze the Controversial media personality has never for a while slumber concerning his argument.
Freeze praises TB Joshua for given the gospel truth as regard the paying of tithes in church. According to him,
Deo1986: From man's creation to our time, humans has existed on earth for just five thousand years according to the Bible. While scientists on the other hand are presuming man's existence to be around 60 million to 600million years. Which do you agree with?
The temple of the most high begins with the human body, which houses our life, essence of our existence. Africans are in bondage today because they approach spirituality through Religion provided by foreign invaders and conquerors. We must stop confusing religion and spirituality. Religion is a set of rules, regulations and rituals created by humans which were supposed to help people grow spiritually.
Due to human imperfection religion has become corrupt, political, divisive and a tool for power struggle. Spirituality is not theology or ideology.

As the essence of our existence it embodies our culture, true identity, nationhood and destiny. A people without a nation they can really call their own is a people without a soul. Africa is our nation and is in spiritual and physical bondage because her leaders are turning to outside forces for solutions to African problems when everything Africa needs is within her. When African righteous people come together, the world will come together. This is our divine destiny._ His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I
