    "Pushing the Homosexual Agenda"

    The Supreme Court is wrong. Homosexuality is not like race, or whether you are male or female. No one is born that way, and how you wish to have sex is really nothing that should be in the workplace anyway! This is just a way to attack Christianity and Christians. Within a year, there will be a...

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    The Bible speaks of the Church at____, and the Church at _______. So, are you saying that there is not One Church? Or can we have many Churches that are part of a greater singular Church Body? How does that factor into your 'agenda'?

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    I knew it was time to leave a certain church when the preacher said before the offering... "It is time to take the tithes and offerings. Listen to what I just said! 'Tithes... AND Offerings!' The Tithe is what you HAVE TO GIVE... and the OFFERINGS are what you should give over and above the...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    Tithing is not Christian 1). There is not a single command in all the New Testament that says that Christians are to tithe. 2). Look into every Systematic Theology you can find.... and tell me, how many of them say that Tithing is part of the New Covenant. 3). If Tithing is a perpetual...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    No! it does not say that! "But woe unto you, Pharisees!" Who was Jesus rebuking? The Pharisees! Are Pharisees Christian? No! Jesus is speaking to those who are under the Law of the Old Covenant, and them alone! "for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and...

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    Never in the bible does it say that the Church is to change so that it can draw younger people! The standard is, we cannot approach God on our own terms, but only on God's terms. The same is true of even secular Organizations; you don't join ________, and expect them to do everything that you...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    No, this can't be true! Unless they have "the" Gospel of Penal Substitution, and believe that Calvinism is the Gospel; they can't be saved! It's in the Bible!

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    I had a similar experience with a legalistic preacher. We were members in a Church that taught tithing. Though I did not agree that it was Biblical, I complied faithfully, because that is what I signed on for. My wife was on the Church Board, and I held a Local Preacher's License within the...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    I think that if have not stoned your quota of Homosexuals and Adulterers this past week, you are not really a Christian! Or are you going to continue to deny the inspiration of Scripture? 2 Tim. 3:16?

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    And then we also have the fact that nowhere in the New Testament is it commanded! We have the example of the Early Church Fathers that make no mention of using musical instruments in worship. So, we have, by example, no musical instruments used in New Testament worship. 1 Timothy 3:16 gives the...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    On Old Testament standard does not make a New Testament teaching. A Restorationists would correctly argue that there were no organs in the Early Church. That the New Testament Church sang acapella as did the Jewish faith did so at that time too. I can see their argument. I have been in small...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    There have been entire Denominations that do not use musical instruments and they sing just fine! Who ever said that music was the only form of "worship"? Leading music in the church does not make one a "minister".

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    People have worshiped in Church for 2000 years without "worship leaders"! Why would I believe a made-up "job" was "essential?
