    Is it ok to Give = $$$$$$$

    It seems to me that your autism is preventing you from seeing these scriptures clearly. The scripture does not say that we are to honour Jesus with money; in context of when it says to honour Jesus. But in context of 1 Timothy 5:17, we are told that we are not to muzzle the ox that treadeth...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    Hey...you are certainly welcome to read any and all of my posts that contain teaching of the word of God. I believe and know that if there is any kind of barrier to your understanding that might be based on your disability, that the Holy Spirit is able to overcome that most easily.

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    I have also had such an experience. However, I know that the decision that I made that led up to that experience would not have been made unless I had first had the word of the Lord planted in my heart. For I was tempted to sell my soul to the devil and the scripture came to mind that I had...

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    He has magnified His word above all His name, according to Psalms 138:2 (kjv). Going to another translation because you don't like that one is what was prophesied in 2 Timothy 4:3. Jesus Christ is the Word (John 1:1, John 1:14)... And the Bible is also the word of God. (This is a first...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    It takes time and effort for a person to gain the insight and knowledge to be able to deal with autistic people according to their disability...and not everyone wants to put forth that time and effort; and neither should they be required to. I consider that the Holy Spirit is better able to...

    Is it ok to Give = $$$$$$$

    No...I want chapter and verse. That is reprehensible, that you group pastors and police along with perverts. I think that there have been three pastors in the history of the church that have given a bad name to the rest (see Zechariah 11:8).

    Is it ok to Give = $$$$$$$

    Is this doctrine in the Bible? I can see that you have a wonderful opinion about pastors in the church.

    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    Mat 8:1, When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Mat 8:2, And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. Mat 8:3, And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And...

    Is it ok to Give = $$$$$$$

    There is plenty of Bible substantiation for the practice of tithing; And it is not necessarily anti-biblical to show valid reasons why biblical practices are good for us; even if we don't get those reasons directly from the Bible (but from common experience).

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    We will have to agree to disagree... And, as I said before, rejecting that the Bible is the word of God is in effect tantamount to rejecting Christ Himself, IMPAHO.

    Is it ok to Give = $$$$$$$

    I do believe that if we teach our children to tithe 10 cents out of every dollar of their allowance, they will learn the value of money.

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    So, His word is equal to His name in this translation. I would say that it is still highly magnified; as God's name is magnified above all the heavens. I'm content to portray the understanding that the Bible is the ultimate authority when it comes to life and doctrine.

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    All of those other translations are fine and dandy; but I would warn you that when you say in your heart, "I don't like what this translation (especially when it is the kjv) says;" and then go to another translation to see whether you like it better; that you are in fact guilty of doing what was...

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    I suppose that if you begin with the presupposition that the word of God is not the ultimate authority, you can believe more easily that the Bible is not magnified above God's name; but if you hold the word to be the absolute authority, you will believe its statements that it is magnified above...

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    I think that Pneuma means "soul" rather than "word" so I would have to disagree that this is what is spoken in Psalms 138:2. Then you are contradicting holy scripture. For it says clearly: Psa 138:2, I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for...

    And in the New Testament. 1Co 16:1, Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 1Co 16:2, Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

    The Scriptures are God's Greatest Gift to Mankind

    So then, in your view the Bible teaches heresy. For the Bible says, Psa 138:2, I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. I will leave it up to the reader to interpret whether or not...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    It remains that it is the choice of individuals in society as to whether they will "accommodate" autistic people. Some people have better things to do with their time than to try and figure out how to deal with them according to their disability. Some would need to specialize therefore in...
