Harrynight: Please show me where exactly tithing was scrapped because Christ said that the new testament is the fulfilment of the law and one jot can't fail from the law |

It's was first a token of appreciation to God by Abraham via Melchizedek after the slaughter of kings Gen 14 vs 18-20 Next, Jacob promised to pay tithes as a convenant between him and God on his way to Pandanaran when he was fleeing from his twin Esau. Gen 28 vs 20 to 22 I believe the Israelites began to tithe as a homage to the convenant of their father Jacob before it became a law under Moses. Even the levitical law of tithing has three types: 1. The Levitical, or sacred tithe (Num. 18: 21, 24). 2. The tithe of the feasts (Deut. 14:22-27). 3. The tithe for the poor (Deut. 14:28, 29). However, the only tithe still commonly practiced is the first tithe and it's paid in cash mainly because farming isn't the major occupation anymore and the church doesn't even have the capacity to store products of various types. In summary: tithes is a convenant for wealth and increase as indicated in Malachi 3 vs 10 to 12. Happy Sunday 2 Likes 1 Share |

kingxsamz: Same way you painted insulting and degrading scenarios about someone who means more to me than a father and mother. Plenty stories because I asked for a Bible quote |
![]() |
kingxsamz: Exactly, it wasn't a Bible question I asked. It was a question about you and what decision you'll take in a war. Now you're asking me about God, and painting a scenario outside the Bible. |

kingxsamz: You think I don't have a life outside nairaland? If you know my schedule, you'll be surprised that I have the time to reply you. Quote the Bible verse to your "Bible Question". That can't be too hard na, or can it? |

kingxsamz: Did God order anyone to enslave people? Did God order anyone to rape anyone? He never has, he never will. Ask a question in the bible with bible verses to back it up. Come on, you can do it, I trust you... Search the Bible ![]() ![]() ![]() |

kingxsamz: And which are still being carried out now by soldiers who still make heaven. Point out a scenario that doesn't contradict the bible with bible verses as backup. Until changes has been made to the Bible and rape justified, your question is mission impossiblito |
![]() |
kingxsamz: Unfortunately, the Bible has been written and will never be rewritten till the end of the world and if an angel from heaven or a voice from heaven says that rape is right contrary to the Bible, that angel or voice will be casted into the lake of fire. So no need to talk about the impossible. Talk about scenarios that don't contradict the word of God in the Bible. |

kingxsamz: You wish, oga provide references to your claim. I've answered your question. There's no rape commanded in the Bible. Prove me wrong by quoting a Bible verse. How hard is that to do? |
![]() |
kingxsamz: Repeatedly asking me an insulting question won't change anything. There's nowhere God asked anyone to rape. Marrying a victim of war of her own free will is not rape. Every victim of war has a say in her marriage Rape is sex without consent nowhere did God permit that. If you think I'm wrong, I dare you to provide scriptures proving otherwise. |

kingxsamz: He has already answered your question with an instance where his own grand father and his grandfather's cousins died because of what his great grand father or great great grand father did. He didn't say a village for a child. He said a child for a child. So asking if he should be killed for the action of another individual doesn't tally with his answer. Your question should have been: would you be happy if someone killed you because your father killed someone because that's the instance he portrayed. The Amalekites all partook in the killing of the Israelites. There is something called gang rape, gang killing etc so all the males and even their wives actively partook in the killing of the Israelites's children. It's not like one Amalekite killed one child and ran away and the Israelites came and killed a whole city or country. No, an entire city killed children and people from another city and the same happened to them. I hope you understand clearly now? |

uche40: 1. You don't want to judge Christianity by its own book of law, but you want to judge Christianity based on some philosophical trash written by only God knows who ![]() ![]() ![]() 2. If we would continue having this discussion, I won't tolerate you calling my Holy Bible a fictional book, it's worse than you insulting my parents. I haven't insulted you at all in anyway... If you cannot do this, let this conversation end because I can't understand where the bile is coming from over something you claim doesn't exist ![]() 3. If I say my name is Timtim and Timtim means Gold, how can you argue with me because Timtim in your dictionary means beating? I'm a Christian, and Christianity means Christ like. Religion is a system, I do not conform to nor belong to any christian system. My daily goal is to be more Christ like not to be more system like. That's all. 4. God is described as infinite. Humans are supposedly finite and have limited capacity to fully understand every aspect of his being. I love your response on knowing the mind of God, most especially this emboldened part. You agree man is limited and God is limitless, so how can man know everything in a limitless mind via man's limited mind? Do you want to teach a day old child algebra or quadratic equation? Will you teach a primary student quantum physics? You'll learn what you're capable of understanding. Even if God told you everything, you won't understand because man is limited but God is limitless. All man needs to know about God is in the Bible and God sticks to what is written when dealing with man. So once again, I know the mind of God, his mind is in the Bible. 5. I also love the verses you quoted to show various ways God speaks to man. They all agree with Numbers 12 vs 6-8: 6. And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. 7. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. 8. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? Irrespective of whatever means God or God's angel speaks to you, one thing is certain, the message they give to you or the dreams or the visions cannot contradict the word of God in the Bible. If it's confusing or not clear and seems like it's contradicting the Bible, don't be in a haste to believe, first test the spirit to be sure they are of God. If the spirit is of God, pray for clarity and you'll get it. 6. Morals apart, the existence of this earth and everything in it is evidence that God exists. Let's assume Big bang theory is true as thats pretty much the only scientific explanation of Earth's existence. Big bang is the explosion of an immense energy and heat that gave birth to everything on earth and in space. What created the immense energy and heat before the beginning began? Some say Dark energy, some say Quantum uncertainty etc but there's a general consensus that something caused big bang and big bang caused everything else but logically thinking, it's impossible to have an infinite regress of cause and effects. In simpler , it's impossible for something that caused what caused something to cause something to cause something that caused big bang to be the true SOURCE of all causes and effects because something must have caused the first something in the first place before that something existed. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed same with energy, it can only be converted from one form to another so what was the first matter or energy that caused the dark energy to cause immense heat (up to 1trillion celcius degrees) to cause the explosion in the first place. Before big bang, there was nothing, where did dark energy come from? Why hasn't another bang occured? The only answer is that there MUST have been an UNCAUSED CAUSE which preceded every other thing. This UNCAUSED CAUSE is the true SOURCE of all form of matter, life and energy. This source is who I refer to as God and everything that exists is proof that he caused everything to exist. 2 Likes |

kingxsamz: Whoever replaces you, will strike the enemy not minding the casualties because that's what has to be done. ============== On the rape issue, the worst name you can give the men taking the women as wives is forced marriage but it's still not even forced. By the then Jewish traditions, any woman chosen by any man in such a scenario is automatically betrothed to that man and hence she's an Israeli already. After she has been chosen or betrothed, she's allowed one full month fully cared and provided for in his house to mourn for her dead family and to prepare her mind for the marriage. She's not to be dressed or addressed as a slave or captive because Israelites can't enslave Israelites. If after one month, the marriage doesn't or can't hold for whatever reason, the man must let her go free, she's not to be sold or exchanged for anything. 95%+ of women in this position usually marry the man mostly because they have no family elsewhere and no means of livelihood once they leave not necessarily because they love him. Anyway, as long as she participated in the wedding, she's married. 1 Like |

uche40: I'm happy my responses sound like pleading cus your answers are too agressive and outrightly insulting over my own beliefs simply because it doesn't go down well with you. God has the power to avert anything but HE WONT DO IT IF: 1. YOU DON'T PRAY FOR HIS INTERVENTION 2. IT DOESN'T CONFLICT HIS WORD A day old threat or an adult threat, a threat is a threat and if it's in war, it should be eliminated. 1 Like |

uche40: You mean commanded by God... Yes All cases where God commanded people to kill were in a time of war. The scenario of the flood was carried out by God himself not by man. And he did it after they refused to listen to His warnings just like he did in Sodom, Gomorrah and the surrounding cities. Just like he wiped out the giant tribes of Emims, Anakims, Horims, Zamzummins, Caphtorims, Avims etc who initially occupied Canaan. Noah preached to the occupants of the pre flood world for 100years but not one person listened to Him, that's enough condemnation for them. Destruction by God can't be called genocide, it's simply the owner of life taking back the life He gave because they crossed His word and refused to repent after He sent warnings. If Nineveh hadn't repented when God sent Jonah to warn them, it'll have been destroyed as well. The dinosaurs, tryannosaurus, dragons etc that went extinct nkor, will you blame God for that as well because I can tell you for a fact that God wiped them out of existence because they were all products of man's perversion in the early days. Do you wish dinosaurs still exist today? Aren't you grateful for the giant asteroid that "coincidentally" wiped them all out? 1 Like |

kingxsamz: So God doesn't have the right to like or dislike someone? Do you like everyone you've met ? Don't you have things you hate? He hated who Esau and Esau's descendants were going to be later in life. But until Esau became what God hated, God's blessings was on Esau according to the words of Isaac. Even when the Israelites were coming out from Egypt, God told them that he has given mount seir to Esau and Esau's descendants and they were not to step one foot in Esau's inheritance. If you insist God was partial, provide proof where God displayed partiality. |

kingxsamz: You'll leave a threat to your country because you don't want to harm their kids until you find a way to spare the children of the attackers thereby allowing more of your citizens to die in attacks from the terrorists. Lol. You'll have to step down as a military commander and let someone else do the dirty job that keeps you safe because you can't face your own people who have been attacked and who lost their own innocent children as well. |

kingxsamz: God hated Esau but God didn't give Jacob any preferential treatment either. Disliking or hating someone is different from being partial to that person. If you have proof of God's partiality to Esau, please provide it. |

kingxsamz: After He hated Esau, did He kill Esau? Even after Esau foolishly sold his birthright didn't God still bless Esau with more wealth than Jacob according to the blessings of Isaac? |
