An advocate is a senior and learned person who is an expert in the law - very few around. Not at 25yrs of age certainly. For robbing those who trusted him he should get a long jail sentence.

I suspect he is some drop out law student who harbours the fact that he could had been an advocate had he not associated himself with bo-mashobana, now he will join him at suncity

By the way, does your God need your money? what is he going to buy with it, do what with it? Stop fooling people. I have seen Pastors in Big Cars and poor Elderlysmelly women continued puting the last money in the collection boxes, how cruel is that.

Still can not understand why people believe in god. People should wake up and realize there is no such thing. He wants to praised all the time, takes credit for all the goods that happen and blames the devil for all the bad things. He blames his creations for the bad things but not the himself the creator.

God does not need money for himself. The interpretation of that scripture is that people must tithe in order to support poor people, help those who really in need in the house of God.
Beside there are many things needed to be done in the church which needs money.

1. We don't believe in god, but God.
2. You must be the one to wake up coz it's almost 3 o'clock. What does your common sense tells you? Who created you? Who created the sun, sharks, all these dangerous animals?

Widom from God is hidden from those who are perishing. They've got earthly wisdom which is foolish to God. That why they take us (Christians) as fools {1 Cor 1:18)
For what I know about this wisdom is that it does not need degrees or qualifications approved by SAQA because even the so-called clever people or learned blogger cannot comprehend it

Just because you do not understand how the world came about does not mean you should make stories to fill the void. Not understanding is not a bad thing, hence we study the stars, the human biology and many other things around us to have a better understanding. The reason we have all the things we have today is because we asked question. You thank all the people that cracked their heads to bring you electricity, cell phones, antibiotics I am sure you take those you just do not pray and get well. I will tell we do know world comes from, but I am do not think you have the brains to understand that.

Have you seen those Pastors that shout at people saying " Fire, Fire, Fire Fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and they push you down and say the demon is inside you, I mean those who claim to heall all the kinds of sicknesses, so why our hospitals are full of sick people? why the Government does not ask help from those Pastors, we know them, we have seen them, If they have such Powers, let them go to hospitals and heal our sick.

Fire, Fire, Fire, fFire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lies.

Our God is God of order, he does not work like lightning, he do things in order, not shouting, not pushing people down, but orderly, Jesus once said to the tomb of Lazarus, " Lazarus get out of the tomb, he came out and Jesus said " give him foof and don't tell anybody" that is God I know, he need not your cent, he can have money if He wants, lots of it.

Wow u do read the bible just that u read it upside down, now I get it. Stupid statement to say the hospitals are full of sick people, they are there because they also like u don't blv that God heals. Can u force some1 into salvation, No u can't. can u force some1 to bath, no u can't. God is gentle, he dznt force Himself on people who dznt blv His existence. Read Malachi 3v6-14

...and I know this guys who specialised in quashing people's traffic fines. I know the guy on a first name basis but I never gave him a job. I don’t think he was ever found out. These kinds of people are everywhere. University dropouts. He gets fired as a court interpreter and all of a sudden he is able to fool the gullible that he can facilitate transfers [conveyancing] of their houses. But that this Sowetan got caught means that he was not fake enough. Let us just say the simpleton was not good at it. That is the phrase that my girlfriend said when she was talking about her [ex] husband.
