Amen farouk. What I like about you, is that you always have something positive to say.

Of course, those who don't bring the whole tithe into the storehouse are cursed with a curse for that they have been robbing God, according to Malachi 3.

I think that if you deny the inspiration of holy scripture, that you are not really a Christian

Rom 10:13, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:14, How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Rom 10:15, And how shall they...

See 2 Timothy 3:16.

And we who believe are in Him as a body.

Helen Keller was a prime example. She was taught how to read with her fingers so that she could have access to the gospel. Others have been healed by the Lord so that they might hear the truth.

And I think that you are also assuming that there isn't life in heaven. Read 1 Corinthians 15...our entrance into heaven has to do with resurrection.

So I think you are assuming that the Christian message isn't life more abundantly...see John 10:10

Huh?

Yes, I know...and they also have a thing against musical instruments....which is an unbiblical standard.

See, here is the thing...you are not a Christian if you define Christianity as "the Cult of Sol." So then, why the deception on your profile?

Yes, Paul said that he could do all things through Christ who strengthened him...whether that was to be abased or whether it was to abound financially.

They have worshiped with the use of organs for at least 1,000 of those years; I consider the organ players to be worship leaders. And you did not live over 1,000 years ago, so who are you to say that there were no official music ministers throughout church history?

I'm saying that the storehouse has to do with having food ready to give to the poor. Anyway, you should be taking it up with @bbyrd009; he is the one that started me down that line of thinking.

While that may indeed be true, I don't believe that it is necessarily a sin for a minister to enjoy "creature comforts".

I'm not sure I'm following you.

You don't think that worship is essential? (try Revelation 4...) In Psalms 150, it shows that musical instruments are intended to be a part of the worship experience. I know that I am blessed by worship leaders who are even paid to do what they do; many of them are quite anointed, if not all...

Considering 1 Corinthians 9:1-18, I consider that those who preach the gospel ought to make their living from the work of preaching the gospel. Yes, it is not something that we should insist upon as those who might benefit from it. However, it is also true that the promise, that God would...

Worship leaders have to learn their trade just like anyone else. They have a certain skill set and I suppose that you think that people who have those skills should just offer them to the body of Christ for free? Next you will be saying that pastors ought not to be paid for their work that...
