Tithing was not given to believers under the new covenant, in the OT it was never money. My understanding is we give above and beyond and by placing a limit with 10% it turns into a law one must follow. Do you preach the prosperity gospel? When you say "give God a little more", do you mean...

Who is talking about that? Maybe you should stop listening to them and think on things from above. What can you do for God? How can you serve Him?

A person can sin by doing nothing. It's what is in the heart, we were not given a Spirit of fear, but one of courage and boldness! God told Joshua to "be brave and courageous"! Do not be anxious!

First of all, baptism is something we should do as believers, but it should not be used as a step-by-step process in order to receive eternal life. Just as you mentioned earlier, man has emphasized other steps to be taken in order to receive salvation - the sinner's prayer, membership to an...

I have one of those, but I know people who could quote the entire Bible but I wonder if they are being led by the Holy Spirit. To remain unmoving requires Christ. :) I am weak in this, He is strong!

Ok, thanks. I think this happens sometimes, other times not so much. Like I said earlier, for me it takes great effort and doesn't come so easy.

Ok....the good thing is, it's good advice for everyone! :)

Did you mean to address this to me or Inmate? I'm not the one who is bored. I agree with what you've said, but guys need stuff to do, too.

Do you have any hobbies, Inmate? There's a ton of stuff to do out there. Do you have a job? Go to school?

There is nothing here I disagree with. :) A sinner's prayer would be one of those step-by-step plans I mentioned earlier. We should get baptized, but why put all of our eggs into one basket? Faith is what overcomes - not baptismal water.

How do we know we are experiencing an eternal type of life? Do you mean signs and wonders? Christ does overcome sin.

When a person has faith, signs will follow - at least that's what the Bible says. It is the same with faith and works, they go hand in hand. Faith provides us with the mind of Christ, in this way we can see and do as Christ! I agree with you! It's difficult enough to stay straight with God...

I see this heavily within my own generation and it started in public school where we are indoctrinated into a progressive mindset (more like progressive sin). What seems natural is in complete conflict with what the Bible has to say. I find it difficult to stay focused on the ways of God, it...

Just my take, but too many people put too much emphasis on a step-by-step salvation plan, baptismal included in this plan. I'm not saying we shouldn't get baptized, but just because you got wet doesn't mean you're on the right road. Especially infants who have been sprinkled - not only do they...

Hi Just here - I'm new, too, good to have you here.

Nevermind............

Have you ever heard of the Loess Hills? What kind of horses? Did you ride? Thanks Angelina!

Nope, we use all the conveniences of modern farming. I do repsect their ways, but I have no idea how they get everything done with horses??? I know about hard work, but not quit that hard. B)

Thank you for the welcome Atonement. :) God bless you, too!

Welcome Atonement! Good to "meet" you.
