Thank you wrangler :rolleyes:

Got it....you taught yourself.

What man taught you this?

Hi Wyonna, I generally agree with you. We are free to give and we are to do it cheerfully. But I also feel we are obligated or compelled to follow the very strong suggestions in Scripture: "I was hungry, and you gave me food, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger...

Lol....Yup!! Absolutely horrible what us Trinitarians do. Use the bible to back up what we believe. o_O I guess I could join you and your anti-Trinitarian cult and reject 2,000 years of Christian teaching....but I won't. Mary PS....noticed how you once again gave your opinion and nothing to...

Thank you Marks....You always make some very good points that I hadn't thought of. I always enjoy your responses. :rolleyes: You are right. The man has "free will" to sell all that he has and give it to the poor. That is different than an obligation. The point I was trying to make is that...

You crack me up Wrangler. I gave you 8-10 passages from Scripture that backs up what I say and what I practice. YOU??? You give your opinion o_O

What your denomination practices is not based on what is taught in Scripture.........:( An annual observance????? The NT Christians did it daily but your denomination does it annually???????????????????????????????????

If the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are not 3 different entities then what are they? What name would you give them?

Lol....Hold on.....HOLD ON.....You can't be serious right now? You are a member of a denomination that most Christians don't even consider to be Christian yet you accuse ME of "follow the teachings of a church that has well and truly apostatized from the teachings of Jesus Christ and given...

Fascinating. Sooooo the men of your denomination when they read the Didache they don't see the Trinity in the statement "father, Son, holy spirit"? If that is not a Trinity....then what is? And since the Trinity is NOT mentioned in chapter 10 that cancels out what is said in chapter 7...

That is fascinating. I love to learn about other denominations.....Thank you.

You are absolutely right Matthew. The term tithe (10%) is not found in the New Testament but it is far from silent on the topic of money. Jesus talks about it at great length as does the Apostle Paul. So for you to say that you are "free of obligation to give anything to anyone" is not biblical...

If you are offended at the Truth then that is your problem.....

If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed. Give not with a grudging heart.

This is the verse that I recall. 1 Corinthians 16:1-4

Thanks Matthew, The mandate to give is clear in Scripture however You seem to be correct. The more I read on this, $cripture doe$ not flat out $ay one need$ to give money. The poor old lady at the Temple gave money but that seems to be the only mention of giving money to the Church. Also, Jesus...

Thanks Marks, Scripture does elude to giving to the Church (temple) but it also says give to the needy in Matthew 6. I'm not really sure if that is talking about tithes. I suspect it is seperate of tithing. Soooo in hindsight it does strongly suggest giving tithes to The Church only..... so I...

Hey JP, Where does Scripture say that tithe's are only to be given to a Church? Curious mary

Hmmmmm......Here is what I found about tithing. Malachi 3:10-12; bring the full amount of your tithes to the temple..... Abraham, our father in faith, paid tithe to Melchizedek the king of Salem and a priest of the highest God; As Abraham was coming back from the battle in which he defeated the...
