I never knew that the standards for measuring success in Christianity were money, land, buildings and airplanes. Based on these standards, one can infer that Jesus and his disciples were failures... 5% given to the poor and 95% for who... is that what Jesus did? Are we preaching/propagating Jesus or “men of god” Let he that thinketh he stand take heed. 1 Like |
Religion / Re: "No Tithe, No Heaven" - Pastor Adeboye by Xriss: 12:43pm On Apr 15, 2018 |
We need to understand that Jesus’s words in Matt 23:23 were spoken when ‘the Law’ was still in effect (a testament doesn’t take effect until the death of the testator Heb 9:16-17)... thus in Matt 23:23, Jesus asked the Pharisees to give tithe and also referred to ‘the Law’ as a weightier matter however after the death of the testator (Jesus), the law and tithing passed away... If Adeboye wants to use Matt 23:23 to justify tithing then he should remember that the same verse called ‘the Law’ a weightier matter so he should preach the Law more vigorously than tithing since it is weightier. 3 Likes 1 Share |
Politics / Re: Buhari Ranked Among Famous U.S Army War College Alumni By US Ranking Site by Xriss: 1:59pm On Dec 31, 2014 |
tit: Lady, you need to do some research of your own before commenting........ Yes, war-fighting is taught at the US War College (and other War or Defence Colleges worldwide) however, this is war-fighting at the strategic level or highest level that is why the students or participants are Colonels and Generals. Thus students here are not taught to shoot guns or tanks, soldiers and junior officers are taught to do that. Rather, in the War College, subjects taught and exercised include leadership, man management, logistic and chain supply management, project management, strategic communication, strategic war-planning, policy formulation and implementation and so on. Consequently, this course is equivalent to Masters Degree in leadership or strategic studies depending on the affiliated university. In Nigeria, the National War College now National Defence College is equivalent to the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) and affiliated to the University of Ibadan which awards successful participants a Masters Degree in Strategic Studies on submission of a thesis. If you have an idea what this course entails, you would recommend it for every person seeking for public office. 2 Likes |

Health / Re: FG To Ban NMA, JOHESU Over Incessant Strikes by Xriss: 11:32am On Jul 27, 2014 |
My sister is a medical doctor and the following is her employment story..... She finished Medical School before the turn of this decade and didn't get a job for 13 months because all the private hospitals she applied to offered to pay her N30k to N70k monthly. This was unacceptable to her, so she applied for and got a bank job that was to pay her N130k monthly. However, shortly before resuming at the bank, she got an offer for a temporary job at a Government Medical Centre for N100k monthly. She decided to take the govt job so she could practice and after working there for about a year her employment was regularized at the Ministry in Abuja and her pay increased to N200k+ including other benefits. My problem is WHY DO DOCTORS HOLD THE GOVT AND PATIENTS TO RANSOM TO BETTER A GOOD PAY PACKAGE WHILE PAYING DOCTORS THEY EMPLOY PEANUTS? WHY DOESN'T THE NMA GO ON STRIKE TO ENSURE THAT DOCTORS EMPLOYED IN PRIVATE HOSPITALS ARE PAID AS WELL AS DOCTORS EMPLOYED BY THE GOVERNMENT? Can any Doctor in the house please help answer the above? 6 Likes |

Religion / Re: Inviting Tithers To A Theological Discuss with Miwerds and Candour On Tithing by Xriss: 2:33pm On Dec 08, 2013 |
dumo.ala: Thank you for acknowledging your mistake but the word "first" is not the only issue I have..... But like most pastors today you have conveniently avoided earlier instructions in Deut 12 and Deut 14 that clearly state that TITHE is meant to be EATEN and not PAID, and you deceitfully claimed that the first instructions on tithing is in Deut 26. So my only issue with you is that you should stop being deceitful. Tithing is meant to be brought to the priest, blessed by the priest, eaten by the congregation and the rest stored in the temple for those in need ..... Read through Deut 12, Deut 14, Deut 26 ....even to Acts 4:32-37... Tithe is not for you and your General Overseer to spend as you like, STOP BEING DECEITFUL. 7 Likes |

dumo.ala: Sir, from the last sentence of your quote above, you clearing state that God first introduced tithing to Israel in Deut 26. This statement is false, there are instructions on tithing in Deut 12, Deut 14 and even in Leviticus. So I have doubts if it was God that led you at all. 3 Likes |

Religion / Re: Inviting Tithers To A Theological Discuss with Miwerds and Candour On Tithing by Xriss: 11:11am On Dec 07, 2013 |
Tonye-t: Read sorry STUDY Deut 14:22-29 and Deut 12:11-27 then post again if tithing is not part of Mosaic law, you may read the whole chapters or book of Deuteronomy. I believe "Deuteronomy" means something like second statement or repetition of the law. TITHING IS DEFINITELY SCRIPTURAL BUT if u study the book of Deuteronomy then you will find that pastors today twist the "how" tithe should be paid and ask you to package money give it to them and not ask how it is used.....THIS IS FRAUD. Tithing is meant to be given as food and drink not money....and this is to be eaten by all on the day of offering and the remaining kept in the church for the poor (ie the widows, fatherless, homeless and priests as long as they have no other businesses) that is why Malachi 3 says bring tithes so there will be food not money in God's house. Also recall that the bible says he who gives to gives to the prophet gets a prophets reward......and he who gives to the poor lends to God himself (Prov 19:17).....thus the way to give your tithe to God is to give it to the poor not to your pastor..... Jesus confirmed the above in Matt 25:40 and 45, when he said what you do to the "LEAST" of people is what you do to him, pls read this scripture from verse 31 to get a clearer picture. This is in line of law of tithing in Deuteronomy and why Jesus supported it. Further to the aforementioned, study Acts 4:32-37, you will see that the church brought all they had to the apostles and the apostles shared it to those in need (the poor). This is also in line of the law of tithing in Deuteronomy. THE BIG QUESTION NOW IS WHY DO PASTORS DO WHATEVER THEY LIKE WITH TITHES AND TELL YOU NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS? If tithe is Gods money then the Bible should determine how it is used but IF PASTORS DETERMINE HOW IT IS USED THEN YOU HAVE JUST GIVEN TO THE PASTOR AND NOT GOD. It is pertinent to state that any form of giving is good but if you really want to give to God then STUDY his word and learn how to give to him (by giving to the poor) if you wanna give to your pastor there is no evil or wrong in that, in fact it is good to give to your pastor. But any pastor that collects tithe in the name of God and uses it the way he like is a thief and a fraud. 7 Likes |

faby11: If church is a building were mass (religious rites) are held then yes, Catholic Church is the first church however, if church is the gathering of believers then Catholic Church is hundreds of years behind the first church..... Depends on your perception of what a church is |
Religion / Re: Is It Wrong To Attend Different Churches? by Xriss: 1:35pm On Oct 20, 2013 |
Ms_Steph: catholic church is said to be the 1st church on earth Sorry but I disagree with that...... I don't know the name of the first church or whether it had a name at all but I know churches (the gathering of brethren and not big buildings) existed and consistently met immediately after the death of Christ in peoples homes, underground at hill tops etc before the church and the world (roman state) got intertwined and that church lost its way |

The law/procedure of paying tithes is outlined in Deuteronomy...... ....and yes tithing is paid in food stuff and 'clean' animals.....not with money that is why Malachi said "so there will be MEAT" and not gold or silver..... .... Jesus was a ' do as I do' person meaning that before he tells you to do something he will do it first e.g. Jesus prayed b4 asking us to pray........he fasted b4 asking us to fast.......he preached b4 asking us to preach.......he broke bread b4 asking us to do same......he washed feet b4 asking us to wash feet.....he was holy b4 asking us to be holy etc.........so why did Jesus not ask us to pay tithe......... BECAUSE JESUS DID NOT. ..... I mean HOW CAN JESUS REMEMBER TO TELL US TO PAY TAX AND FORGET TO TELL US TO PAY TITHE......because tithing is not Christian.... Remember when Jesus was wanted to talk about tax....he asked whose face is on the coin and was told it was Ceasar's b4 he said give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's........ God created animals and crops and in times past demanded these as tithe........money is an instrument of a state/country and God doesn't need it.......but your pastor does...... Please people the bible encourages us to always cross check what is preached to us like the brethren in Berea did........the bible also told us to take heed to what we hear.......and that there will be many false preachers in these days.......please pay more attention to your bible and less to your pastor.......study the bible as a whole and don't hold onto one part only...... ....... It is instructive to note that the way many pastors now preach and live is very different from the way Jesus, the prophets before him and the disciples after him did........
