Tithe To A Family Member

We are no longer subject to the law to "tithe" so I would first say, stop tithing to your church. Just give as Jesus pulls on your heart to do. Next, help anyone who has need of it. Do it joyfully as unto the Lord Himself. You will be blessed with JOY (Jesus, Others, You)by giving to those who have need. They will be blessed by seeing an example of someone giving in Jesus' name. God bless you all.

Is Harold Camping Correct

"In regards to the may 21st 2011 rapture and Harold Camping. Im already getting my decorations ready for a rapure party. Im pretty excited to see who will vanish from the dance floor." The irony if your the first to go. I've also fallen deaf to the church. The church has always had an agenda before God. Yes churches do cost money and many missionaries go without it. But I fail to see how a pastor or priest should drive around in a Cadillac while his congregation fights to keep food on their table, clothes on their back, and children educated. Sorry but the church is lost, I too have been. This day marks the day I have chosen to seek out the word of God. Whether I am ultimately saved or not.

What Makes You A Christian

I don't "think" I am a christian. Nor do I "think" I am a believer in Jesus Christ. No one can tell me I'm either one because it comes by faith. The same way no one can tell me I'm "in love" with my wife. I just know it. I need to be saved by the Holy Blood of Jesus Christ because without Him I am doomed to eternal separation from God our Father. If you don't know what this means, e-mail me and I will be glad to talk with you. Amen? AMEN!

Practice Speaking In Tongues

I was baptized in Gods Holy Spirit at the age of 12. I didn't know that "speaking in tongues" would follow that experience but when I opened my mouth to say something a language came out that I had never heard before. I thought that I has said curse words so I ran to my room and hid in the closet. The gentleman who prayed for my baptism came and explained (through my closet door) what had taken place. I now pray in the Spirit continually (as Jesus direct to do in 1 Thess)and have become closer to Jesus and His will than ever before.

Could Jesus Have Sinned
	Irene, thanks for the encouragement but I want you to know it took many years and painful trials to come to the understanding I have of who Jesus really is. Give God the glory for revealing Himself to me (us all) amen? Jesus our precious Savior bless you bountifully in grace, wisdom, faith and fruit!

Has God Spoken To You

Jesus has spoken to me so much over the last 18 months its wonderful! He has spoken to me in prayer, through His word, through others but mostly when I need to hear His voice. He came to me one night when I was terribly bothered over something and revealed His love. He said "Gabriel, I love you. In fact I cannot not love you because I am compelled to. It is my great pleasure to love you joyfully, peacefully and faithfully. It is a compulsion for me to love you". I have never heard anyone express that kind of love in my whole life and I DEFINITELY do not think or speak that way so I know that I know that I know it was Jesus Himself that gave those words to me. I will carry them to eternity with Him. PRAISE JESUS!

How To Lose Your Salvation

Nicole, it was John the baptist that came before Jesus saying "repent (I EMPHASIZE REPENT) for the kingdom of heaven is at hand".... Repentance first, then you may understand the gravity of sin and the need for salvation. Again, salvation is a relationship and turning away from the former man and his will to the will of Jesus Christ. but you are correct in your reference to be baptized and saved. Baptism is just an outward expression of your new commitment/devotion to Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God. Amen.

Can You Cast Out A Demon For Me

read the 16th chapter of Mark. ALL who follow Jesus Christ have the power to cast out demons. Use the authority of Jesus Christ. He said I go to my Father and greater works than these you shall do. He cast out demons, we can too. Ephesians tells us He has "blessed us with all spiritual blessings (gifts) in heavenly places in Christ". Operate in Jesus and see what happens. I have personally done this and witnessed the power of Jesus right before my eyes. The demons may return but hey, we're in a war so let em come because our General doesn't know how to lose. My bible says He wins in the end! PRAISE JESUS!

Could Jesus Have Sinned

Wayne and grace have not the truth in them. I pity you both because if you have the truth then you would realize that Jesus is God is Jesus is the Holy Spirit is God is Holy Spirit is Jesus.they are inseparable. Jesus attested to the fact that "He thought it not robbery to be equal with God". We are not equal with God and therefore need the blood of Jesus to cover us. "he who has seen me has seen the father".. Read the bible in the spirit and pray for discernment. We must have the three (trinity) because God the father is the lover, Jesus the son is the loved and the Holy Spirit is the spirit of love between them. "in Jesus rests the fullness of the Godhead bodily"... Pray dear friends.

Is The Pope The Real Deal

I cannot believe the blasphemy being spoken on here! Mary never sinned? What bible are we reading? If Mary never sinned SHE would have been on the cross for our sins, not Jesus because the sacrifice had to be without spot or blemish just as the OT sacrifices. Jesus is the FULLNESS of the Godhead in bodily form, therefore HE was the perfect sacrifice not Mary. I know Mary was a blessed woman, of course, she was the chosen mother of Jesus, but she still sinned, otherwise Gods word is a lie and I am still waiting for the redeemer to come. Christ alone is spoken of as being crucified for my sins and being raised of Gods love on the third day. NO ONE ELSE is mentioned in this regard.

Repent Of Sin Or Go To Hell
	Correct. Repentance is the key to salvation. John came baptizing saying "repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand".. If you do not repent of the evil you have committed against Jesus you will be subject to His righteous wrath and judgment.

I Strayed Away From God

I too strayed from Jesus for a season. What I didn't realize is that He was at work in me the whole time. Think about the prodigal son. His father didn't ask him what he had been doing nor did he care. He was just overwhelmed with joy to see his son coming home. God is the same way. He says "What you have done, you have done. Repent and ask forgiveness child because I've been waiting for you to return." If you're faith is weak you need to seek Jesus and know that "he that cometh to God must believe that He is God and that He is a rewarder of them who diligently seek Him" (Heb 11:6) If you are questioning whether God is real it will take more that 125 words to clear this up. E-mail if you need to.

Why Tongues Are Not For Today

Whether tongues is for today or not is the question. I firmly believe that it is and to this end, I would like to share my personal testimony. I was raised as an Orthodox Jew, and from a young age was taught to reject all things Christian. Having the need to fill the void within my heart and not finding it in Judaism, I sought solace in other things such as eastern religions, drugs and alcohol. At my lowest point I was befriended by a group of Christians who shared the love of Christ with me. The day I accepted Christ, I was born again, filled with the Spirit, delivered from all my bonds and spoke in tongues. My experience was real, untaught and a free gift from God, something that no one can take away from me or make me believe otherwise.

Are Birth Control Pills Abortion
	If these pills are taken before conception, they are not a form of self-induced abortion.

Won To Christ Due To Da Vinci Code
	I don't think one should watch the Da Vinci Code in order to us it as an evangelism tool. How many movies are we going to watch in order to seize gospel opportunities? It is enough to know the synopsis of the movie. Certainly we need to take advantage of the myths that the movie teaches to proclaim the true gospel of Christ.

Why Does God Let Us Suffer
	Think of it in terms of refining. Gold needs to be refined by fire. If it does not it does not become pure. If it is refined to much then the gold is scathed and useless. Now how does that apply to us? well We are Gold, sin is fire. We are refined by fire and we become stronger. Stronger in faith, and in God.
