debosky: Highest yielding portfolio? It pays to serve Jesus. What would it PROFIT a man if he loses his own soul? |

Image123: Money should go to the poor not enrich pastors that they can have a private jet. You will not understand because it was never money and what this new churches preach is a fake gospel. that is why nigeria has so many selfish people who say I am a christian but forgot that they have a neighbor. 4 Likes 1 Share |

The CRS adopted the following statement of belief, mandatory for all members The Bible is the written Word of God, and because it is inspired throughout, all its assertions are historically and scientifically true in the original autographs. To the student of nature this means that the account of origins in Genesis is a factual presentation of simple historical truths. All basic types of living things, including man, were made by direct creative acts of God during the Creation Week described in Genesis. Whatever biological changes have occurred since Creation Week have accomplished only changes within the original created kinds. The great flood described in Genesis, commonly referred to as the Noachian Flood, was an historic event worldwide in its extent and effect. We are an organization of Christian men and women of science who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The account of the special creation of Adam and Eve as one man and one woman and their subsequent fall into sin is the basis for our belief in the necessity of a Savior for all mankind. Therefore, salvation can come only through accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior. The society's stated purpose is "publication and research which impinge on creation as an alternate view of origins".[7] The CRS' statement of belief was cited in the U.S. Supreme Court ruling of Edwards v. Aguillard. Its mandate that members affirm that the origin story described in Genesis was an established fact was cited by Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr. as evidence there was a fundamentalist sectarian objective in the field of creation science and in Louisiana's 1981 Balanced Treatment Act, a law requiring creation science instruction in the state's public schools wherever scientific evolution was taught.[8] The judge ruled, "the intent of the Louisiana Legislature was to promote a particular religious belief" and therefore the teaching of creationism was unconstitutional. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_Research_Society that is from where you get it that are christian extremist! |

Image123: Sir, Jesus is saying if you gain the world but lose your soul, you've lost the most important thing. He did not say give me your money so I will give you the highest profit. God is not a money doubling agent or an investment bank. God is not a trader, neither is he a businessman. 4 Likes |
Re: Tithes And Offerings by Image123(m): 9:27pm On Aug 30, 2014 |
debosky: Profit and loss is involved, isn't it? Giving to God remains the most profitable way to give Debo. You don't seem to like the sound of that but it is truth. Giving to God falls under laying treasures in Heaven. i don't get why folks keep limiting or narrowing the context to money money. i didn't mention money, Olaa and his article didn't mention or emphasize money. It is a timeless scriptural truth that if one sows bountiful, he will reap bountiful, GOD is not mocked. |
Re: Tithes And Offerings by debosky(m): 9:47pm On Aug 30, 2014 |
Image123: Sir, in the context of the verse you quoted, no. That scripture is simply telling you to value your soul above collecting worldly possessions - the term 'profit' there was used to juxtapose the temporary value of worldly possessions versus eternal life. It involves no 'investment' - the only requirement to have eternal life is to believe.
I don't know what you mean by 'profitable' in this context so care to explain?
I didn't say you mentioned money, but Ola's article did - that is what I responded to. Olaa and his article didn't mention or emphasize money. Are you being disingenuous or genuinely mistaken? His article has money all over it - in fact he mentioned money and materials. Furthermore his second article he posted in response to my post is focused PRIMARILY on money. Let's not beat around the bush here. Please re-read the article I responded to. 2 Likes |

debosky: Faith is an investment, a life time investment. This is what makes the believer wise and the unbelievaber foolish. Profitable as in wise. The same context Jesus talked about profit and loss. I didn't say you mentioned money, but Ola's article did - that is what I responded to.in your prior post to me, you mentioned money twice in a way insinuating that i was only referring to money. What do you think? The first article could easily be anything including money. Sorry for the oversight however, perhaps i wasn't critic-looking for money when reading. Just saw the second article. Again, It is a timeless scriptural truth that if one sows bountiful, he will reap bountiful, GOD is not mocked. |

Image123: Okay - I accept that.
I responded to a post about money and you responded to mine - my response was simply in furtherance of my previous post.
No one is challenging sowing and reaping, however my point stands - God is not an investment bank or a money doubling agent. If you want to make financial profit, go and trade with your talents as the wise ones did in the parable of the sower. 2 Likes |

OLAADEGBU: Tithes and Offeringslets be sincere,this argument is not sound at all (full of fallacies) thank God you say the biblical formular was given to isreal before christ was crucified.How does it concern us in christianity? if muslims read quran that there was payment of tithe and begin to ask us in christianity to pay, will you pay? 3 Likes |

paxonel: What about tithing before the Law? Is that not in the Bible? |
Re: Tithes And Offerings by Goshen360(m): 1:17pm On Sep 03, 2014 |
paxonel: OLAADEGBU: The same person talking about tithing BEFORE the law is the same CONFUSED fellow arguing tithing with Malachi curses and the rest of lies. Ask him which one does he practice? Offcourse, he doesn't know, because he's as confused as the different website he copies from, talking from both sides of his mouth. One of the things our Lord hates in revelation is BABYLON and before you get confuse again, Babylon means MIXTURE....(tending towards confusion).....you're neither cold nor hot. STOP threatening people with Malachi tithe of curse because NO ONE threatened Abraham before he gave tithe. Enough of all these lies!!! 1 Like |

Goshen360: Don't be a pecksniffian. The principle of Malachi 3:9-11 applies to any child of Abraham who lives by faith. Don't be deluded into thinking that your steward responsibility is lesser than those in the OT because we now operate under grace. I tithe under grace as opposed to tithing under the Law. |
Re: Tithes And Offerings by Goshen360(m): 2:08pm On Sep 03, 2014 |
OLAADEGBU: and rolling on the floor. I have always known you as a confused fellow because you copy too many articles. Never a time you use your Holy Ghost regenerated mind to think through the word. So you use faith and grace to practice the law tithing? Ola, you should have just kept quiet rather than type this nonsense you just typed. However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, "HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM." 2 Likes |
