I agree that we should pray for our pastor, as well as the members of our church, and should never judge nor condemn. It is biblical however, that a pastor must have a higher calling, and higher standard. It is not only his life and walk with Christ that he should act a certain way for, but it...

So we are saying that it is a definate that I should not have a relationship of dating/towards marriage with this girl if I want to concentrate on God's will and purpose for my life, and want to devote my life to the Lord.Are there any arguments against it?

Swamp Fox-Excellent post. Question-Can God not come first while I am in a relationship? I work a job, and don't envy money, wouldn't compromise the Lord's way to gain another dollar, don't choose the job over Him, it's just something I do in my life...Does that mean my job comes before God...

Ok guys, I got a problem. Please know that I've prayed and thought about, and studied and asked advice and requested prayer and other things that I'd like to keep secret in a search for the answer to this for many days. I didn't just decide to post something cause I felt like it. Here's my...

What great posts! I somehow knew this would be a complex issue...there are many views on it, and I'm open minded to all of them. I love to hear other's views to be better educated to be solidified in my own.I don't know about the "being an OT christian or a NT christian." I think the...

(kriss;58009) you are supposed to tithe about 10% of your left over income after you take care care of your responsabilies I do not mean go out and buy a large screen T.V, and then whats left give to God,but you are to take care of your food housing family needs. I know it's later on in the...

Less than a month ago, my coworkers were all debating religion and one of the guys had a serious issue with God not being real because of there being so much evidence of evil in the world...I stumbled upon this and left it where he would find it, and it made an awesome impact on him. It even...

Awesome

(RichardBurger;58019) What Law of tithing???? The Jewish Law of Moses????We are not under the Law of Moses. We are under God's grace. Yes, I agree. That is why I said that it was not repentence based on the fact that I had not followed a "law" as in of Moses, but my repentence was based on the...

(crooner;58000) My two centsYou dont have to repent over not paying tithe. Just start asking God what he wants you to give. I will send you a couple of good articles on tithing and you can judge for your self.Its really a different challenge to give from the heart instead of having to do...

I would love to read them crooner.I wasn't aware that tithing was an OT law only, I will surely have to do more research on my assumption that the 10% tithe was something of the new way. Although even if we are not subject to the 'law' of the OT, giving 10% of your income certainly helps your...

I was thinking today about buying a KJV, because I only read it when I use bible gateway, and I'm starting to see good reason for using that version. I'll pick up Strong's Concordance also.

What an excellent time we live in that we can have such a resource to fellowship with Christians from all over! Sorry, I'm just glad I can ask this online, as I'm sure I'd get different responses asking a church, and I like to keep my tithing secret.I have a long story that, if I stay active on...

Ahhh *sigh* I could really still go either way. Although I still say due to context it seems very clear that he is talking of Judas, one of the diciples he is talking about (because he is not talking about the people or the world, he is talking about the disciples, we can assume that "not one...

"but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled"......which scripture?Reading it in context, it is clear this prayer is exclusively about the 12 disciples, and I'm going to go back on my original post about this because I feel corrected.As much as the "son of perdition" is...

(christperfect;56936) Having had the prophecy told to us by Paul in 2Timothy 3:1-10; [COLOR=Sienna]all truly fulfilled, what can the present true Christians possibly do to save the world?Should we, being in the presence of Our Father, just sit and wait on him, doing his good will for all true...

I think what it means is...While Jesus was here on Earth in the flesh, he came and did his job, he perfectly fulfilled the purpose for his life. Everyone that was put in his path by God, Jesus led them to God, and he didn't mess up, he didn't lead them astray with false teachings or a mistake...

I like it. To give a short testimony to compliment that..For a long time in my youth, I had a relationship with God and wanted to be zealous, was waiting for an opportunity to be extreme, waiting for God to put me in that "hero" situation, where I could prove my faith and devotion to him by...

50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changedAre there not some scripture intended for the children of God? Not everyone is a...

I guess I see this a little differently, and maybe I'm way off...but we seem to be talking so literal here..When we are told to "die to flesh" does that mean that we actually have to die? No, it means that the bible is using the word "flesh" as a symbolic word for "the way of the...
