If you build your doctrine of giving on the New Testament, tithes do not appear as a requirement. The word is not there once in terms of giving by the congregation. All of those who insist on your tithes do so with Old Testament teaching which is incorrect and simplified as 10% of your income...

Keep the comments coming as it is good to see people seriously thinking about the subject matter and there is no doubt we are hitting some nails on the head. Better than hitting your head against a brick wall.

You obviously have a New Testament Church operating in all its facets. Well done.

For your information, most people here do give a "crap" about what the bible says so you are on very lonely ground. I was not aware that anyone here was forcing anyone to live according to their religion. Probably because they do not need to as most people here are already living according to...

Well, who would have thought that such a good outcome could come from something so bad? So true that all things work together for good....

Blessings to you and yours.

Nothing has changed Josho. When they meet God seems to go deaf.

Sorry Mary, but the people you quoted were not in our meetings as far as I know.

A thoughtful post. Just one slight correction. I am not hoping for the best. I have it in Jesus Christ. That enables me to cope with anything the world throws at me.

Sorry justadude but your arguments do not hold water. For a Christian who is a Christian (many who claim to be are not), it is not a case of denying them the right to marry. All Christian teaching must if it is to be valid start with what the scripture says, otherwise you have no foundation for...

Just a slight correction. I would think that there are over 300 million gay people in the USA. Whereas homosexuals are a very small minority.

So many jokes today are pointless like the one about the pencil.

I have 12 grandkids and if I had known what fun they would be I would have had them first.

What a blessing to be old and not have to worry about things like computer games and their problems. My main problem is getting from A to B.

Whew!! Your post was breathtaking. I do love it when someone puts in the hard yards and ferrets out the facts for our benefit. Facts very often equal the truth so it helps us understand just what is going on. If the Catholic church believes that Islam is so wonderful, what do they make of the...

And as Goliath said when the stone hit his head. "Such a thing never entered my head."

Yes, yes, yes. I read an article recently that said we should never bring unbelievers to the church because the church is for God's chosen people. Get them saved and THEN bring them into the life of the church.

Your post reminded me of a saying that we serve a system, not a Saviour.

A valid point Josho. Has any church addressed this issue? Do they have meetings at a time suited to those who work on Sunday and call it Sunday workers get together so that they know the church is thinking of them particularly? I went to Planer Shakers for a year because they had a homegroup in...

Agios a very good post. One that is telling us to wake up to reality. I have to admit that the church, in general, is not good at waking up to reality. It is still living in the past and has a mentality of it you want what we have got you will have to come and get it which as you said does not...
