    "Extravagant Lifestyles" of Mega-Pastores Explored

    Nope... Not when he lived off the giving for the teaching as he reported. You ain't got one scripture that says Paul paid his bills by tent making, but I have scripture that said he accepted offerings and lived off of them. You just have a verse that says he made tents as a trade. So what...

    "Extravagant Lifestyles" of Mega-Pastores Explored

    Paul the tentmaker.... You folks ain't got one verse that says Paul got around on tentmaking. Yea, he did it. So what? It might have just been beer money! Show me where Paul ever said he survived day by day making tents.... Ya can't do it! But I can show you where he relied on giving to him...

    Good show, Justaname... I can't help but to see Mjrhealth picks his battles. And loses.... But he doesn't really address everything I wrote... No one will touch the Holy Spirit annointed act in Acts 4....Or any other for that matter. They want to be the cloven tongues of fire but not the...

    That's pretty much wrong.... Christ's ambassador and spokesman laid some pretty good foundation including eph 4:11.... As for the Holy Spirit.... The problem is everyone wants the "Peter sees the table with all manner of beasts" experience of the Holy Spirit, but not the Cornelius experience...

    "Extravagant Lifestyles" of Mega-Pastores Explored

    Yea, but you take it to the extreme Markedman. You don't use any verses to build your doctrine and then you chide those who do and compare them to Fred Phelps....

    "Extravagant Lifestyles" of Mega-Pastores Explored

    That's not the only NT verse that says it, either.

    They didn't? They sat three years under the Dean of the School of Christianity, and Peter was the problem child student! His "love and passion" got him rebuked several times! These guys didn't have an education? What was Jesus doing when he traveled with them? Did Jesus have a formal...

    Making the case for organized religion

    Hello Vale... I lie not.... I literally got done reading the book of Amos 45 minutes ago so I'd be hard pressed not to understand the need for charity (it was one of the things God was charging Israel of neglecting). I do disagree about which is more important (truth or charity) in that I do...

    Making the case for organized religion

    Couple of comments: I don't measure a church on what amount of charity work they do but rather if they are preaching and enforcing the truth. In other words, a church can send relief to places to Haiti (and praise God they do, and Paul did have missions of charity) but if they aren't preaching...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    Glad to hear someone say that! I actually have studied Calvin -- his writings, not just biographies or a wikipedia article, but got down into what he actually wrote -- and not only are many of the things people say OSAS means, but what many things labelled "Calvinism", he didn't preach! In...

    THE QUESTION NO ONE WANTS TO ASK

    Markedman, you are in bad need of a grammar councilor cause this really makes no sense! I do have a response, but I am not going to share it with you and continue this rediculous arguement. The fact remains that I gave you scripture for everything I said. If I misquoted or am quoting out of...

    What are you reading?

    I read the Bible every day.... Bored reading that? Sorry, can't relate to that... There are love stories, War Stories and stories of tribulations beyond what even Poe, Heminway or Sindak can come up with! I also am reading "Al Capone Does My Shirts".... For a class I'm helping teach. Also...

    THE QUESTION NO ONE WANTS TO ASK

    That's an utterly rediculous response.... Somebody gives you scripture for what they believe and you are going to discard it because Fred Phelps uses scripture too? That's rediculous..... I will no longer waste my time with you.

    Celebrate Halloween?

    I've been following the History channel for a long time.... Heck I was following it back when they actually had programs that dealt with history.... Not Pawn shops and coon asses. :) history.com is still legit. It's still a good website. It ain't the Bible and it doesn't take presidence over...

    I don't see anything edifying about this thread either... Least not edifying God. I'm with you on that.... Don't like your stance on Halloween, but I'm with you on that, and I haven't left a comment on Halloween. Good show!

    Addiction

    Sheesh Aspen... You only gave us about 7 hours! On a Sunday, no less! Personally, I saw the thread and was thinking about it.... Certainly prayer from the saints (that is, the members of the congregation) and preaching (that is from the preacher) are needed and that should be a starting...

    THE QUESTION NO ONE WANTS TO ASK

    Marksman..... At least I gave scripture. In your responses to me (posts #19, 25, 30) did you give any scripture? Did you discuss the scripture I gave? No. If you did or actually refuted the scripture I gave and told why it didn't support what I said, then you might have something to go on...

    THE QUESTION NO ONE WANTS TO ASK

    It wasn't a pity response..... Your response accused me of saying things I didn't say. It confuses me as to why you brought up buildings ands staff when I didn't. Furthermore, I gave you scripture on what I actually DID say.

    The Church With No Doctrine

    If they don't have doctrine, what do they believe? What do they do and why do they do it?
