Well thank you. I do wonder if it will do any good as he said he put me on ignore.

So recently I was a bit harsh on someone who is a regular poster on this forum: Frank. I have been nonjudgmental of people for about 2 years on this forum: meaning, I don't attack people (that includes denominations), but rather doctrines. I have discussed history of posts and of course...

I was speaking in general....

What made him false aside from the 39 stripe part? There is nothing wrong with asking for an offering. I don't believe in gimmicks either, But all he did was ask for an offering and suggested he would pray for a health need. He shouldn't place a limit on giving nor should he sell a prayer. I...

I may have been a little harsh, and that I apologize for... But you don't understand the importance and blessing of giving. If you aren't a giver you ARE cursed. See Mal 3:9. To not give to him that teaches and then above that to actually boast about not giving? Seriously? You want to say...

Well I ain't seen that.... Why tell this story if he believes in giving?

Yea... It is weird, but only because the Bible never says how many times he was whipped. Thats what makes him false and he should've just said give whats in your heart . My point is that giving is looked as a bad thing. Why is Frank telling this story? He's telling it to shun giving!

Do you have evidence he was a crook? He preached false doctrine for sure... But can you tell me what he preached wrong?

So what were you doing listening to that charitan? Here's my problem Frank: Giving is a blessing. Yea... There are charotians out there. I get that. But God is a giver and he wants us to be givers too. Yet you want to soil that blessing by your stupidity? Ley me tell you something...

The KJV says it differently, but I have no problem with this verse either way. Christianity was in its infancy when Paul wrote that. We tend to think that profitting on the gospel is a new thing... But appearantly it happened within 20 years of the Death and Resurrection. I believe in giving...

If you are of the belief that charity as noted in 1 Cor 13 means giving to the poor, you have a problem. The problem is that Paul spoke of giving to to poor in thay chapter (verse 3). He said the even if he gave to the poor and had not charity, it didn't profit him. So clearly Paul wasn't...

Ok... There is a Hurricane heading strait towards the Carolinas. Who is sending it? God is! I know no one wants to hear that, but its true. I think what GISMY wants is for people to pray about this. People are going to die. So please... Pray about this storm. I think this is what he's...

Matthew 6:6 KJV But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Maybe someone is praying properly and thus, it isn't for you to hear.

I absolutely agree. I would add that the church DOES (not "could") help the poor. Catholics, Protestants... Even Marksman have helped the poor. No its not enough and even Jesus noted this when he said the poor you will have always (matt 26:11). There is something intersting about that point...

No, he was addressing the multitude and disciples. He did upbraid the pharisees but it was to teach the disciples how NOT to do it. Its not too different than 1 Tim 5:20 which says rebuke them that sin before everyone, that others may fear. The bottom line is that Jesus approved of proper...

You form a game plan for getting out of your chair.

Amen Jane Doe! I qish people could see the awesome gift that giving is! It helps people in the natural (preachers, people in need) but spiritually it makes a strong statement to God and Satan. On another note.... How many of you know about the "Bank account" you have in heaven? Guess what...

I am a big believer in helping the needy. But why CAN'T the Church be involved? My goodness... I have a long discourse to give but I really don't want to go through all the scriptures that support it. The PRIMARY purpose of the Church is to preach the gospel and provide orderly worship...

No.N, it was about the Pharisees but directed TO the multitude and disciples. See Matt 23:1-3. Jesus said do what they say but not as they do. Jesus said they were right for tithing but their motives weren't right. Well, Paul did. And most men of God who are full time men of God need a...
