Aemmyjah: God did not tell you gambling is a sin. Na una dey postulate am so. He's just pointed the probable adverse effects of gambling because it's human nature to want more. Not many can survive it. 1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: So.. when God told you in Proverb 22:7 that; "The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender" Does that mean you shouldn't borrow? Haba na You're only being told of the probable adverse effects should you borrow. Prostitution is a sin Corruption is stealing; sin Selling drugs (depending on who's selling) The bible clearly states these. 1 Like |

Aemmyjah: Sports betting is a business as well. However, he mentioned Forex. Clearly, he's not well read and obviously myopic in citing examples just to buttress his invalid point. We all know sports betting does more harm than good. Would you then neglect the fact that it has made a few individuals? The chances are slim with sports betting, that's why I'd never advise anyone on it. I've had my fair share of it, so does many and they'd attest to it. |

Aemmyjah: How can you not take risks as a businessman? That's gambling There are however risk evaluation and management departments in business enterprises. Unrealistic gambling is what kills.. the likes of sports bookmarkers, casinos... The risk management isn't feasible as the likes of trading stocks, forex, CFDs, etc. The later however can turn to gambling when there's no risk evaluation and management. |

elnegrodeafriqu: Have you been out of Nigeria? When you switch your naira to USD or any other currency, that'll depend on the exchange rate for that time (mins, hours, days as the case maybe) if the equivalent amount exchanged is higher than the original amount exchanged, would you say you've stolen? |

Jokanem: Op, the bible does not explicitly say gambling is a sin or that it's immoral. However, from experience, I'll tell you that gamblers are liable to lose money, time, sanity, morality on the long run In one of Paul's letters to the people of Corinth. "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient" Gambling a risky action undertaken with the hope of success. You mentioned "Forex" ...think of what those mallams do when you exchange your dollar for naira or vice versa. Do you call that gambling? Well, that's Foreign exchange aka Forex. The digital aspect of it is what you're aware of which people out of greed, inadequate knowledge, etc have made it look like gambling. If you're a business person, the business you currently is risk bound. That's a gamble. The degree of uncertainty is however what makes it advisable or not. |

karkinase: In my own opinion, the team you propose should be made up of the caller, executioner, risk manager, etc. This will curtail emotional effect which is often detrimental. If the caller does the work of the executioner, that's when emotions creep in. He may up the lot in a bid to revenge losses. |

karkinase: Emotions? If your assertion is entirely based on emotions, then i do not totally agree because emotions can mess up a team as well. Observe how if you trade against popular opinion, you'd be 60-70% right. |

meshpips: Quoting you.. "(I strongly favour the sell side)" As was the case the previous week.. more than 80% traders had a SELL bias. Including me. Despite there aren't enough confirmations for a BULL run, I'd stick with the Momentum. Let's see how the drama unfolds 2 Likes |

GBPUSD, Daily It appears the BULLS maybe setting in but no strong confirmations yet. In the coming week, we'd maybe focus on BUYS until 1.245XX region as marked by block A and trendline X 3 Likes 2 Shares |

GBP/USD, 1D In my opinion, the bearish engulfing pattern isn't exhausted yet! the higher the timeframe it was spotted, the farther the BEARS go! Only a high impact may push the price block -A by retesting trendline -X But our best bet is for price to retest block-A and head straight to block -B 2 Likes |

legennd2: See as you just dey rope yourself. Don't judge you said but you've just judged the church as underperforming. Go for knowledge. |

desiredhome: You're so myopic. We're talking about tithe here. You have 90% to use from. Stop roping yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit for revelation. |

CrownFemi: Don't you know the bible is cryptic and you need the Holy Spirit to point to you? Have you not read ? John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, [b]he shall teach you all things, [/b]and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. |

komekn: Look in the mirror. It's you who have a reprobate mind. I have only pointed why people do not fear God as they should. They tend to negotiate with God when He gives instructions but would never dare in a satanic frat. You need the Holy Spirit to decipher and decode the word of God. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Matthew 16:17.. Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. |

komekn: Again, you're thinking like a babe. Of course the devil counterfeits God's practices. If people are so scared of the devil, yet because God is perceived as merciful; so they try to negotiate with God. God has given the instructions. Decoding them is by the Holy Spirit. That's where most of us have failed because we rely on sense-knowledge. |

blink: If you dey Ogboni, would you use your dues for the same purpose and tell the ground master otherwise? You were tempted and you fell. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. |

pointzee: Who told you you're fattening the pastors? You're talking like a babe. If you dey Ogboni, u no go pay dues? If the instruction is 20% ...would you give poor people the money instead? or save your brother as some are saying.. then come tell the grandmaster otherwise? Una too dey play with God. God wey kill person for ing an ark from falling to the Ground. ![]() ![]() |

legennd2: Yes I read. And your post justifies the action of the OP. Melchizedek is a Priest and King of Salem. In Hebrews 7:13-17, Jesus is considered a priest in the order of Melchizedek because, like Melchizedek, Jesus was not a descendant of Aaron, and thus would not qualify for the Jewish priesthood under the Law of Moses. John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” **here, Jesus was telling the Jews, before thier father Abraham came to being (on Earth) he was. Hebrews 7:3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually(forever). This was about Melchizedek Who remains a priest forever? Jesus Christ. Is Jesus Christ not the church? The Bible is cryptic. It doesn't have to plainly say "take your tithe to the church" ..let the Holy Spirit teach you. |

HigherEd: The bible is cryptic. You'll need the Holy Spirit to teach you. Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek. There were many poor people in his time he could've given the money. But why did he pay the tithes to Melchizedek? U no ask yourself that question ni |

legennd2: So because the church is no longer as it was, it means you should disobey the instructions of God? Were there no poor people during the time of Abraham? Why then did he pay his tithes to Melchizedek? What does that tell you? 1 Like 1 Share |

Onliie: The instruction, though simple, difficult to comprehend. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. ''Malachi 3:10" Samuel told Saul: Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams” (1 Sam. 15:22). But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 1Corithians 1:27. Tithe is One-tenth. So, you no fit use out of the 90% save your family member, na God money own cut naim go save am? Let's assume you've spent the 90% before the incident occured, to the carnal man, it's wise to use the tithe in saving the family member. Family member when God fit allow to perish just because of your disobedience. People sometimes spend millions for hospital bills but the person go still perish. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the LORD of hosts; Malachi 3:11 That need you want to use the tithe for is a "TEMPTATION" If you fall, God will not rebuke the devourer for your sake. Note: the devourer in this case is the illness or predicament of the family member. 1 Like 1 Share |
