    Tithe...NOT a christian doctrine

    Lively Stone said he had bowed out. Is this a ghost talking? I have just had a thought. Perhaps the truth is that LS belongs to a church that says you have to tithe if you want to become a member, hence the lack of personal knowledge about the subject. Sorry, but that is not the truth. You...

    Tithe...NOT a christian doctrine

    Isn't it wonderful that we are not in bondage to the tithe. We can freely give as God blesses us. It has just occured to me that when the rich young ruler asked Jesus what he had to do to be saved Jesus said he had to give away 10% of his riches. What was that? He didn't say give 10% away...

    Saturday is Sabbath day...

    This is incorrect. As we see from the creation in Genesis God spoke of a day in terms of the evening and morning, not morning and evening. The Jewish days were measured from sunset to sunset. As in the creation, evening and morning. The sabbath was the seventh day. The first day of the week...

    Tithe...NOT a christian doctrine

    So you keep saying ad infinitum and we keep asking "where is tithing in the New Testament?" The fact that you refuse to answer that question speaks volumes. Hiding behind rhetoric, innuendo and emotional pleas will only get you so far with those who seek truth and reject opinion.

    Just heard about the rosary....

    Dear O me, lets try again. I SPENT TWO YEARS, NO THREE, WORKING IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC SYSTEM, therefore......I am not bagging a church I have not spent time in and basing my past experiences with a few people I met. I MET HUNDREDS OF THEM. There were nearly 200 in the section I worked in.

    Tithe...NOT a christian doctrine

    First, if tithing is compulsory, why do people need to be led by the Lord? A bit like saying school is compulsory but we expect you to be led by the Lord about attending. Second, Your comment that the churches don't lead people to tithe shows how gullible you are. Many churches, when they are...

    Tithe...NOT a christian doctrine

    Those who are in the five-fold ministry (apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists and teachers) have a command from the Lord to receive tithes (Hebrews 7). I must admit the eisegesis produced by your pastor friend gave me a good laugh especially the comment above. Having just read Hebrews 7...

    Tithe...NOT a christian doctrine

    How is following scripture fleshly? In the New Testament, the word tithe only appears twice Matthew 23:23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and you have left undone the weightier matters of the Law, judgment, mercy, and faith. You...

    Islam: where is the crusade?

    Recent research by legal academics Ann Black and Kerrie Sadiq, published in the University of NSW Law Journal, found sharia law had already become a shadow legal system in Australia, endorsing polygamous and under-age marriages that are outlawed under the Marriage Act. Mr Essof points to the...

    Just heard about the rosary....

    Instead of bagging anothers church...maybe we should try to understand that church and not rely on heresay...seek out the truth, visit one a few times, try to understand we all worship the same God on here and try to show God's love toward another...being rude just makes another close off...

    Two forces collide: Marxism begins to unravel

    An interesting statistic is that last year, the hits searching the word "Jesus" far outweighed the hits for atheism on Google. My feeling is that atheism/marxism will fade into the background as the onslaught of Islam will take front and centre as it tries to subjugate everyone under its brutal...

    Just heard about the rosary....

    I guess when one is under seige, denying reality is one method of defense. If roman catholics do not worship Mary, why are there graven images of her in thousands of RC church buildings which is contrary to scripture and why do they kiss the feet of these graven images as I have seen them do...

    Just heard about the rosary....

    "Of other annual festivals, the New Testament contains not the faintest trace. Christmas came in during the FOURTH century by a natural development of the idea of a church year, as a sort of chronological creed of the people. The festivals of MARY, saints, martyrs, FOLLOWED GRADUALLY, as the...

    Just heard about the rosary....

    If you are interested in learning about the rosary from a Catholic - let me know. I wouldn't go to a Mormon to learn about Sola Scriptura because they have no idea what it is all about besides their own prejudices. When I want to know something I go to all sorts of people, not just those that...

    Saturday is Sabbath day...

    A question. If you believe that the scripture teaches that the NT Sabbath is Sunday and that is why we meet on that day and not Saturday, and at the same time teach that we are in a time of permanent sabbath rest so that means every day, why is it that you don't meet every day to worship the...

    Just heard about the rosary....

    How To Pray The Rosary - The purpose of the Rosary is to help keep in memory certain principal events or mysteries in the history of our salvation, and to thank and praise God for them. There are twenty mysteries reflected upon in the Rosary, and these are divided into the five JOYFUL MYSTERIES...

    I apologise for my last post appearing twice. My computer did a blip whilst I was posting hence the mistake. I would edit it out but I can't see an edit buttom.

    Two forces collide: Marxism begins to unravel

    rjp, may I commend you about your down to earth reality about life today. To add to what you have said, I believe that an outcome of your observations is a battle between truth and lies. I have been following the same sex marriage issue and the fact is that most of the rationale for their claims...
