I've always said that I don't need a license to sin, I need forgiveness for being a sinner. Nobody needs a license. They are born sinners because of what Adam did. Besides, the whole "license to sin" is just Calvinism anyway!

In the U.S. a Pastor can take up to 1/3 the offering (under the tax code for non profit organizatiins). In the Bible the Levites got to keep it all. I don't really see a Biblical limit for what a Pastor can keep. Paul actually had a lot to say about giving. He never said anything about...

Mal 3:10: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. This is one of the...

Hello Josho For the moment, I cautiously agree with you. The purpose of the Church is to teach the gospel and to gather for worship. Those are the primary 2 purposes and the building is simply the venue. I started to get caught up in your comment about "church isn't supposed to be a rock...

Sorry Born Again.... Its just hard to read some of this stuff and not reply.

YES IT DOES MEAN THE LINE WAS BROKEN! It's not a fault of the catholic church... But it does mean you can't claim the line is broken. NO I AM NOT A PROTESTANT IF I AM NOT A CATHOLIC! Catholics like to say that because the like to say protestants are rebellious children of the catholic church...

Here's the question again. Who was Pope in 259? Who in 306? By the way... Im not a protestant.

I should've clarified. I was speaking about Catholics on this and other message boards. Haven't heard one of them say it was wrong and that they are sorry it happened. You had a golden opportunity to do that and what did you do? Well, you pointed your finger at the protestants, called me a...

Well it certainly is a black eye to the Catholic faith that there are a number of pedophiles and riff raff in the priesthood. I think its terrible, but I have never held it against Catholics. Yet I long for the day when just one Catholic will apologize or at least say.... That's messed up and...

Somebody please put this thread out of its misery.

On multiple occasions shnarkle has accused Wormwood of "trolling". Shnarkle: Do you even know whay that term means? Google it... It means to deliberately post something offensive in order to get an angry response. If anything, thats you, not Wormwood! He hasn't done that... But you have been...

Well I am ignorant of what those numbers mean.... But you seem to be excited about it so praise God! I'll have to check out your youtube soon.

....at John's gospel: John 1:42 KJV And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. Now, John's letter is very reflective in nature. It isn't alqays chronological (especially the...

I'd like to point out something that I haven't seen brought uo before in regards to Peter's name. Before I begin I want to reiterate that I am done with debating Catholic doctrine. Jesus did not give Simon the name Peter in Matthew 16. He called him by his birth name and his new name...

That is pretty much what I was getting at. Everything Peter wilked on earth or on the flesh was not what came to pass. When Peter figured out God's will... Then it did.

Forgive me... But I took these questions as to be rhetorial. Perhaps they were not meant to be. My Church holds everyone to the same standard. Our "more wealthy" are still held to the same standard as our poorer saints. They don't get special treatment because they are able togive more...

I no longer wish to argue about whether Peter was the first pPope and if we should all be Catholic. But there are some interesting points in this post about Peter. I truly believe he was a great man! His faults were many. In fact, for a guy with they keys to heaven and a decree that...

Sounds like communism. I notice you didn't really give full reference for that scripture. Where did you get it?

The scripture you give sounds like the sermon on the mount. It sounds like you have an axe to grind about giving in the offering at Church. Am I right?
