Scripture? We no longer have the original autographs. My Bible says "the first day of the week". Are you SDA? They did (Ephesians 4:11). Tithing a tenth of one's gross income, is a way of simplifying what God required, in the case that you don't have any agricultural increase...your...

God has magnified His word above His name (Psalms 138:2).

It went into the storehouse, so that the saints in Jerusalem might have relief from the famine that was prophesied by Agabus in the book of Acts. I wouldn't doubt that the pastor of the church in Jerusalem benefited from this tithe.

I don't think so.

It actually says, "let him lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him." It translates into the same thing as laying aside a percentage of your gross income to give to the church. I beg to differ. For all scripture is inspired of the Lord and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for...

In John 3:5 it is clear that a man must be born of water and the Spirit; and if this is speaking of baptism then a man is born again by being baptized in water. Also, in Acts 2:38-39, a promise is given, that is conditional. The promise: the Holy Ghost. The condition: baptism in the name of...

I know that this is the case. Because you are saying your words in such a way as to hide what you really mean while giving a hint of false doctrine in your statements; just enough to confuse the sincere student of God's word. This indicates that you do believe that they obtain salvation...

According to Galatians 6:13, even those who are stickers for the law are not able to keep it. If you are going to enter in through law-keeping/through abstaining from sinning, then you must indeed be perfect from conception into eternity; you must obey all the law perfectly from conception into...

Rom 9:25, As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. Rom 9:26, And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God...

Personally, I don't believe that we need to go back to the original Greek and Hebrew to get the unadulterated message of God's word and gospel message. The English is sufficient; alongside of the Holy Spirit guiding you into all truth. He guided me to the kjv as being the unadulterated gospel...

Jesus is God. You now make it clear to us that you yourself don't believe in the Deity of Christ; and you are the one who has been judging me as not coming to the Lord because I search the scriptures and you judge me as being unwilling to come to Him. When I have come to Him and also have a...

I could care less about whether you are Catholic or not. You call my posts anti-Catholic; I am merely attempting to defend Pauline theology. If Pauline theology is anti-Catholic, then I accept it...guilty as charged! In such a case Catholic doctrine would be anti-Pauline theology. Because...

Okay...what did I do to you? I changed my mind about putting you on Ignore. But since you are accusing me of lying, prove it. Show the nature of my lie by using the quote feature and explain to me just how I have lied to you. What did I do to you other than try to convince you of my pov?

You do not agree. This statement is in disagreement with my statement. My statement was that works do not obtain salvation even if they are done in Christ; but that we are only saved through the shed blood of Christ and not by works to any degree, shape, or fashion. As believers under the...

We don't have the original autographs any more...so how is one supposed to get the unadulterated message of the gospel in God's word? Are you saying that we cannot know the message of the gospel in today's world? That appears to me to be an agnostic confession if anything. You can deny the...

@BreadOfLife, I think that I am going to take @Joseph77's advice and also follow his example by putting you on Ignore.

And you are bearing briers and thorns unto me. I have done nothing to you except to try to convince you of my pov. Mat 7:15, Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Mat 7:16, Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather...

So, which translation is inspired and inerrant? And, you can choose to reject the doctrine of the Deity of Christ all you want... The sure result of that, however, will be that you will die in your sins. It's a crying shame when God made the way into everlasting salvation so easy... And you...

Personally, I believe that God predestinated us according to His foreknowledge. He is outside of time; and all who ever were or will be redeemed are already in eternity praising Him for ever. He knows who these people are; and He exerts the utmost effort in saving them as He creates them and...

Paul actually did tell the saints to lay up a percentage of their income on the first day of the week, in 1 Corinthians 16:1-3. Yes, when we give our tithes, it ought to be with a cheerful heart; and if you do not give them with a cheerful heart it is better that you not give them. I will say...
