Tithe Or Not To Tithe
|
|
Gary, That's great info! It's amazing how many christians and pastors don't think for themselves and when questioned on this topic just repeat what they have been taught and don't study the scriptures and see what God's word actually says! |
Tithe Or Not To Tithe
|

DC, your right. No temple, no rules/ law on tithe. Did Paul tithe? No Did Jesus tithe? No You Can't just take old test. Laws and say they apply to the church. The reason Tithe law is taught is because (the church) and pastors lack faith that God would supply their financial needs if people were allowed to give according to the prompting of the holy spirit! |
Tithe Or Not To Tithe

Do you still pay the temple tax? Do you keep the 7th day sabbath? Do you support your local Levites? Do you give 10% from your garden? Chose grace or bondage. Don't get me wrong, if the holy spirit tells you 2 give 10% then do it. If the holy spirit says 50% then do it. Or 100%. Just rely on the grace Jesus provided, not some fixed number! |

The (tithe) is not required by new testament. There is no scripture about Jesus tithing. He did say give to Rome and God but the Old testament was still in effect
10% is not a good starting point! Paul said we are not compelled! Paul also said The church and Christians are being put under a curse if we are put under any of the Law and by being put under 1 law we are cursed to keep it all b/c we are not relying on the holy spirit Jesus sent but we are taking the whole law on our lives and are thus cursed. Most of America is under this curse. Look at the state of our nation We are Bankrupt and worship Money and material things This includes much of the Church! Can anyone rebut this? |
Why Do You Think You Are Saved

Tina, Free will, God does not force us to chose the Gift Jesus died for. we are free to chose the Gift or not. God does not impose His will upon us. When you get truly saved, your will should become His will. Peace be with you |
What Is Holy Water

As a former Catholic, I can tell you that there is no such thing as Holy water. It's a lie. |
Cursed If You Don't Tithe

1)Jesus did not tithe, his disciples did not tithe. 2)tithing is not a principle, it is a LAW! 3)(col.2:14 NIV) "having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us, and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross." |

How Does A Person Get Saved
|

Eloy, you said "You can never buy God's grace, love and salvation." that is very correct. Works salvation leaves Jesus sacrifice null and void, Jesus completed the law. Peace be with you |
Once Saved Always Saved
|
|
Kathr, very well put. God will bring allow many trials, but for a purpose. Peace be with you |
Once Saved Always Saved
|
|
I believe what kathr is trying to tell you all is, you all make it too complicated, if you have accepted Jesus then you need to listen to your heart, it will guide you, study your Bible, go to church, pray pray pray, and LISTEN, to what Jesus is telling you, and resist the devils temptations of your flesh, with Jesus in your heart, YOU have the POWER. Peace be with you |

Eloy, you preach a beautiful sermon, except for---"Works are required for salvation" works are not required or Jesus died in vain. Our will becomes HIS will but Gods will for each person is different and hard to understand sometimes. But if one does not feel the need to do something for the Lord after they get saved, then their repentance had no merit and their salvation is not. Peace be with you |
Saved On Your Death Bed
|
|
Think about this, the theif on the cross realized who Jesus was, he realized the life or condition he was in(sinner)Jesus knew he had a change of heart. While the other theif mocked him, to the very end He was trying to teach us. Do you think someone who cries out in fear at the last minute, will be allowed to enter the Kingdom after rejecting Jesus all their life? Do you think that person if truly having a change of heart or suddenly realizing they are going to hell. Peace be with you |
Why Do You Think You Are Saved

Amen Levi, but when a brother or sister does not have an absolute understanding, it must be addressed and sometimes it is painful. Peace be with you |

No Tina flesh man is Dead in sins, the Holy Spirit must convict it, or call upon it to show us we are wrong, and that we need Jesus. Peace be with you. |
