The temple came down for a these reasons. 1. As in the wilderness for forty years unbelievers were not allow to go into the promise land. 70 AD would be approximately forty years from Jesus being put on the cross. 2. The scribes and Pharisees, who took over the temple were, as Jesus pointed...

You are so right! 1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

When I asked God to save me thirty-four years ago He put me in a trance as I was reading the bible. The following scriptures were part of what God spoke, by his word, to me. Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and...

Let me just say this, because I am a believer, when this body of mine dies my spirit will go up to heaven to be with God. But there is an end coming for those that are still here on earth. Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the...

The last church that I attended regularly got a new Pastor and within 5 minutes of his sermon he said "I want you to know, right up front, I will preach tithing. I will no longer attend a church with a pastor who says we don't live under the law, but we won't give up the law of tithing.

If you tithe because you want to tithe. That is good, and God will bless you for it. But if you tithe because the pastor preaches that you must, this pastor is in it for the money! Tit 1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy...

Bishop seems to be one who teaches, but possible like a preacher but not so much a pastor. Tit 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. Tit 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers...

My worship of God does not depend upon music.

Too much! My mother grew up under a pastor, her dad. She learned how to play piano by ear and did so at church. She never ask for pay or got any. When you say they are worth $70,000 I say to the pastor, "teach your daughter to play". If one is going to church for money, they don't belong in...

I, for one, will pray for you.

. I do not condemn giving to the church or even giving to the pastor, but don't tell me how much that should be. I am not living in the age of law and I should be allowed to determine the amount I give. I went to a church for about 5 years at one church and they never ask for your tithe. They...

1Co 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. 1Co 9:15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my...

2 Corinthians is not about tithing it is request to help the poor Christians in Jerusalem. Tithing to your church is actually giving to someone who makes their living off of you. A real good living in most cases. That is not what we should be doing. 1. Give enough to pay the expense of the...

So what is the true church? Scripture defines "church" in three distinct ways. First, there is the universal church (often written with a capital C). The universal church consists of all believers in all locations who are truly saved through Jesus Christ. Acts 9:31 is an example of this usage...

That is another thing, God never intended large churches. The real church is where people come together at a home of a member or an empty building and praise God and testify of his goodness. He never saw a need for a pastor, never even mentioned them, read the book.

This wasn't speaking of tithing, it was for the poor Christians in Jerusalem at that time. Tithing is not mentioned anywhere in the letters to the churches. Jesus only mentioned thithing to the scribes and Pharisees and He was calling them 'hypocrites'. Mat 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and...

1Co 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. Collection for the poor saints, mainly those in Jerusalem, not pastors.

They were to set aside money aside for the poor saints in Jerusalem, not for pastors.

They were to set aside money aside for the poor saints in Jerusalem, not for passtors.

That is what the church does, they go back to quote the Law (like Malachi 3)
