It takes someone who is.... special.... To ask such a question. Why look for a difference when the Bible says, "For by grace ye are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is a gift from God. Not of works, lest any man should boast". Well, lets see... Am I saved; but not...

That shouldn't be an issue.... You should be giving to God. The preacher gets to use the money, but you are giving it God, and he in turn gives it to his servant, the preacher. Now, if you are concerned with the preacher using the money wrong, why are you following him? AND, is your intent...

Randor, I stand with you, as I am for tithing too. I'm not going to be a hypocrite and say I always do give at least a tithe... Sometimes I can't and I feel sick about it all week. It's not because the Church I goes to looks down on me because I don't always make it. It's because I want to...

I like the intentions, but question the methods. Don't despise leadership. The leadership must be right, and truly annointed by God and for the Body of Christ (even Pharoah was annointed). I don't despise any Man of God (if the truly are one) for having material things. David had quite a...

In the book of James (I believe it's the 3rd chapter), he speaks of the tongue being uncontrollable and if I remember correctly, a horse has a bit to control it, and the whole horse. I have those thoughts in mind and often ask God that I might watch my tongue.

Paul wrestled with that very question in Phillipeans 1:21-26. It depends why you are asking. Yes this life sucks (even if you have everything you want) and it is understandable. If you are looking for a shortcut, either because your life is terrible or because you are actually enlightened...

I like what Risen Angel had to say... I'd just like to put it in my own words and maybe add a thought or two to it to give it a witness. Most people don't respect the preacher in the ministry. I say it that way because a ministry as defined by the Bible is a leader and the congregation. But...

I use the KJV. Sorry folks, but I gotta give my rant here. I only use the KJV, and I have my reasons. I won't give them because it's not important to my points I'm about to make. There are only a few Bibles that I've come accross that I'd dare even say, "What are you thinking?" In other...

Good post! I have analyzed names before and find it interesting -- might have even done the same list you did at one time.

I used to be a big KISS fan when I was a child, and saw them twice in concert. I'm not much into them anymore (no other reason other than I just grew out of it). One thing that impresses me about them, which is just coming out over the past few years, is how serious they took their profession...

I'm not against it, but God is calling us to come and learn of him. First and foremost. Now when you read and learn of him, there is plenty about what you are referring to. So I do support that.

I don't really have anything to add.... I'm just posting to state I'm standing with you on this Webers! I've been in discussions about this many times... Don't think I've ever convinced anyone that Jesus wasn't crucified on Friday and did not ressurect Sunday morning. I might be wrong and...

Kjw47, The "nm" comment I made was for "no message". I originally posted something while incorrectly identifying the author of the post. After I realized my mistake, I decided my comments weren't really that valid. My apologies. As for your account of what is written in the Book of...

Really???? I wonder why people curse themselves by saying this. SMH.....

It's not that difficult to see the connection. Prosperity teachers spend a lot of time preaching God's Love and how he wants to bless you. It's actually easy to see....

Hey Willimac, I echo you sentiment in a way. I don't know how folks can focus on one thing always either. However, I'm going by what I hear people talking about. What I mean by that is folks always saying prosperity preachers are just in it for the money. How do they do that? Well, I don't...

I like that list you mentioned in Eze 14! However, I can make at least a small case for Moses as well, even though he isn't on that list. He is part of a shorter list (which includes Noah) in the Old Testament: that list being those who found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Gen 6:8 and Exo...

Yea, that's right! Overpreached! If that's all you are focusing on, you are over preaching it. It's also very self centered (not necessarily on an individual basis, but then again, often times it is). When all you are talking about is God's love for his children, what he wants for his...

Amen.... The OP started out good, but you better be able to determine who your enemies are, even as a Christian. Love your enemies? Sure, it says that in Matt 5:43. Satan's my enemy.... Guess I'll just have to break the scripture on that one! Unless..... Love in this case is something more...
