    OSAS from the Gnostics

    First of all how do you define "absolute?" What does that mean, and what proof do you have from scripture to support that as applying to us today? BTW

    OSAS from the Gnostics

    No spinning head here. What you appear to be proposing is the intermixing of the Kingdom Gospel with the Gospel of Grace, which is a failure on your part to recognize the glaring differences. BTW

    OSAS from the Gnostics

    This is stealing from Israel what was addressed ONLY to Israel: James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. The filth of replacement theology Gentiles use so much of the time to try and steal from us Jews what was...

    OSAS from the Gnostics

    What's interesting is that the only alternative to OSAS is works-based salvation. After all, if one has to apply personal effort to allegedly retain salvation, then personal effort had to be applied to gain it, which is no salvation at all. How can we know this? Questions (for those who believe...

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    Are you a legal expert? Is that legal advice you're offering? In actuality, that avatar image came from a website where anyone is instructed that the images are legally public domain, and that the public can therefore download their avatar images for forums and blogs. If you're a legal expert...

    I have some music I've performed that I'd like to share with everyone in MP3 format. Would it be possible to increase my upload file size for that? SW

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    Nowhere does this show that wage earners in OT times were required to hand over to the Levites any portion of their wages as a tithe. Those versus deal not at all with the tithe. Besides, our modern system of church organizations are not comparable to the temple of the old covenant. There is no...

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    A preacher in the local area verbally berated anyone who would hand over any money to a charity that absorbs 60% of what's given to them for administrative costs. Visiting his office and pouring over the financials of his own organization, I found it interesting that his organization absorbs...

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    Because the practice reverses God's priorities in giving. How is handing over the primary portion of one's giving to institutionalized religion ones primary, largest portion giving rather than meet the needs of fellow blievers and others in need. Indeed? Doesn't it become an oxymoron...

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    Well, maybe one of my videos will help you get over your sickness of money, Strat. :) I remastered each instrument of the music myself. It's a blessing to use it to glorify the Lord. SW

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    My question to Retrobyter remains unanswered. I asked for a scripture where wage earners were required to hand over a tithe of their wages to the Levites, and the silence remains most telling..... SW

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    So, are you trying to say that Abraham was no better than any renegade one may see warring on the plains of his day? Are you saying that he wasn't a cut above the run-of-the-mill vagabonds of his day...that he would EVER have considered property his own that he knew was not his in the first...

    Can God trust you with his money?

    How does one live without money apart from sponging off others? SW That's sounds like you consider yourself seated on the Judgement Throne, in the place of Christ. That WOULD make you a liar. Perhaps you could clarify your words? SW

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    The "Abraham's tithe" dodge is a dead horse that's been dead for so long, beaten so often by so many ignorant people claiming to be followers of Christ, that the carcass is nothing but powder blowing in the winds of indifference to TRUTH. SW

    Can God trust you with his money?

    Giving, as portrayed within scripture, is vastly different from most of what we see going on today. People claiming to be followers of Christ have historically handed over the primary (largest) portion of their "giving" in support of institutionalized religion's real estate and hirlings, some...

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    Can you show me where this is true? Please show me where wage earners, according the Law, were required to hand over 10% of their wages to the Levites. Got any references what speak directly to this, much less the poor? The Law required every tenth that passed under the rod be handed over, but...

    Can God trust you with his money?

    You appear to have assumed that anyone here demanded that nothing be handed over to organized religion. I know I never said that. I simply stated that what is handed over to them should be a lower priority in the membership's giving. Our FIRST priority is our own families, each other's needs...
