Christianity EtcRe: Hell Fire, Adam And Eve Are Not Real, Just Fables - Pope Francis. by brocab:
Is anger rising up in you?
Your page doesn't make any sense-your are a disbeliever when it come to the Jewish God-but now you are telling me you believe there are other Gods with spiritual powers, you believe in Satan {Lucifer} Nordic gods and angels etc..
Have you got a vendetta against the Jews?
You can't seem to get your head around and believe there is a Jewish God, not only God's known as a Jewish God but the gentiles have that same God too.
"Strange" You must ask, your trying to convince yourself your not brainwashed you believe in other supernatural beings that's been floating around the planet for centuries.
But you refuse to believe there is One God, One saviour, Jesus Christ is Lord.

For a God that don't exist-is playing His part so well-He is believed not only by the Jews, but by all men and women from around the world.
And this is something you can't take away from us, Satan your God has been trying to do this ever since the world began-I see the evidence in you-no dealt about it.
It shows clearly you are a Satan worshipper, Satan has already convinced you' brainwashed you' that God don't exist, Ask father Satan to explain to you how did this world begin' and why aren't we made in the image of him and his angels-instead we are made in the image of the Jewish God Himself?

I'm afraid sir u r the one in serious need of understanding if after going through the link I referred u to and this is alll u could come up with.
You are however right in saying that the bible is no ordinary book - in reality it is a book infused with occult powers and made into a formidable subliminal tool. Most of the stories and characters are all occultic allegories, arranged in numbers(numbers r very effective in working magik). It takes one to be defiant and open minded to rise above the mind-programming and indoctrination effects of this strong Jewish book of witchcraft, and start asking hard questions that, if pursued to a logical conclusion, will undoubtedly lead one to the truth.
One of the reasons most people believe the bible blindly without asking qestions is this sublime messages it contains and the use of fear - hell fire and eternal damnation. And for one to even start making sense out of this lie and hoax, you need to have a some knowledge of the occult - only then can you truly see what the bible and the Jewish conspiracy is for real. The bible tries to suppress knowledge and science to perpetuate this lie - all of the so called supernatural can easily be explained scientifically, this is why Christianity over the previous centuries have been against science and the use of the powers of the mind and soul.
The Jews at the top hairachy, those that run the affairs of the world are highly adept at the occult. Christianity and Islam , especially Christianity is their bulwark of power and control.
Concerning the so called abyss, their search if they have initiated one, will only result to a waste of resources because most of the ideas in the Jewish bible are all allegories and not to be taken literally. There is macrocosm and microcosm = infinity(the universe has no begining or an end. We tend to apply linear time to everything - because we live and die, we believe everything must have a begining and an end. This doesn't apply to the universe. There are more than 100 billion galaxies out there - not solar systems but galaxies and the earth is certainly not the only planet with intelligent life.
there are higher beings certainly - the gods with higher spiritual powers: Satan, nordic gods, angels, etc. But do you honestly think if the christain God is supreme and created all things and is omnipotent and all, that there will be a spiritual war going on out there? An omnipotent God cannot fight his creatures - he will simply will it that they are destroyed, and that's it there will be peace. That Jewish God is a scam that's the bitter truth.

Are you saying you are only believing one man-and not go beyond your find-haven't you at least any other evidence to prove your theory-is this it-the auditor is Ben klassen. Ho sorry and yourself.

No your missing the point, it shows clearly you haven't got any understanding, you have nothing to prove otherwise {you don't know} The bible was written-not only for the flesh to understand, but its supernaturally, spirituality, that makes the bible come alive.
The bible is no ordinary book, its not written just for the world to understand' this book is a mystery , and secrets that not even science can break through its codes.
Without reading it-you and science have no spiritual connection, to even think you know more about the bible, matter of fact it takes you further away from it. Your not even close enough' to understand the word of God.

Ask science about CERN, and tell us-why are they trying to find any truths how the world began. If God didn't exist?
If God didn't exist? Then why are they wasting their time-using their hard earned cash had built CERN a machine they say will open up a gateway, to the ABYSS.
Look it up

Your words touched my heart and would hv naturally led me give the Christian God my life to manage, but hey, u are completely missing the point: the bible and everything associated with it has been proven beyond any doubt that it's a hoax, a lie dreamed up and composed by the Jews for their selfish interest. If u actually believe that the Jewish character Jesus Christ ever lived at all on this planet earth, then you have been scamed and should be petied.

Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab: 1:44am On Sep 12, 2015
Maybe so? But before time began-only the creator knew-it was the bible that had given us the reference's God had turned over all His authority over to His Seed Jesus Christ.
Without the bible no flesh knew.

I know with all my heart that Jesus Christ was chosen and given Authority even b4 the world began.
Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab:
Every Church I have entered into, don't pay the stage performers-the drummers don't get paid, nor do they pay the keyboarders, nor the piano players, not even the trumpet players, nor the cleaners, and 90% of them don't get paid. it seems someone gets paid and Its usually the pastors above and the pastors below, maybe a secretary or two get paid.
The bus drivers don't get paid, the car park attendants don't get paid, the Ushers don't get paid, the shop attendants who sell the Churches products don't get paid.
While thousand of $$$ are given each week in tithes and offerings, and no-one else seems to get paid-then its right for the pastors to hand the bills over to the secretary's so the billers get paid.

Only if the pastors obeyed God in the first place, this argument wouldn't keep on continua-ling, as we all know in this day and age most pastors all over the world, have twisted and turned bible scriptures around for their own personal selfish Gains.

While no-one in the Church receives any payment-from above, the pastors are enjoying the high life, living the highways.

This is not the word of God-the Lord never wanted us to worship after Mammon to be man pleases, He wants us to seek after Him and His riches in the word of God, to be God pleases.
Galatians 1:10 "You are man pleases" you are just as guilty as the pastors, enjoying the high life, sticking with the highways.
Allowing the pastors to teach other doctrine's, overthrowing the believers who are truly seeking-teaching the lie-rather then teaching the truth, twisting and turning bible scriptures, allowing millions to fall, living the highways, building worldly mega kingdoms, turning yourselves away from God Himself.

You have become believers in Christ-without understanding "None" had you taken any of your time to even want to learn any of the scriptures written about Him?
Its time "people" you need to "wake up" and start seeking for the truth, pick up the bible's and start reading it, study it, learn it, and ask the Lord to teach you it.

Who will be left and follow after the beast huh
castroevans:
I'm sure u know there are workers in the church...
The Drummers, those who play the keyboard, piano, blow the trumpet, cleaners, and 90percent of them are paid. Where do u expect the money to come from, The Pastor's pocket?
I'm sure u know the church also needs maintenance, purchasing of diesel, repair of any faulty electrical appliances and u also don't expect that to come from the pastor's pocket alone.
Now, paying of rents, printing of bulletin etc all requires money, do u also expect that to come from ur pastor's pocket alone?
I used to live in such notion but i'm glad I don't think about it anymore.
Pray to blessed beyond ur expectation and such thoughts would be the last thing u would think of.

Christianity EtcRe: Hell Fire, Adam And Eve Are Not Real, Just Fables - Pope Francis. by brocab:
This sounds you were either a young believer before hand, and some how you were feeling pretty ripped off, that your heart was torn away, feeling as you were-you believed your prayers didn't seem to touch God's heart-and at that time you were feeling pretty low with yourself-before your ordeal you had given your best shot to be faithful to God. Feeling as you were, you felt He had let you down.
And maybe you had made a vow not to return to Him-but that was before-deep within, you are seeking Him once more, but your confused state of mind draws you deeper away, to the point of fighting your own battles against yourself, listening to others rebuking God-rebelling that every time you hear God's name, you start attacking the believers.
You may have heard this before from others-but ever what the problem was, the Lord did answer your prayers, you may feel He didn't do it quick enough, but I assure you God works in mysteries ways.
The lord never left you, {you left Him} matter of fact He has led you back to us, He see's you hurting, and He see's you searching, He see's everything about you. In those darkest moments of your life the Lord has always been with you, He protects His own.
Every human being knows there's no other book that's written in a language, that who ever seeks will find.
If you can name a book, with this some description, that has lasted as long as the bible then write down the name of your book so the world can see.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You can't think outside this so called powerful book- it is doing its work, it is very subliminal. A book of Jewish witchcraft. What prophecies? Think man, think.
Christianity EtcRe: Hell Fire, Adam And Eve Are Not Real, Just Fables - Pope Francis. by brocab: 9:39am On Sep 10, 2015
As I said look it up and find if the story's true or false about Pope Francis yourself-I have already looked into it-and theirs a write up about the Pope's ordeal. Italo let your fingers do the walking and open up the net.
This way-you will have a fight on your hands if its false, but if its true, than I suppose we are not expecting to hear from you about this issue again?
italo:
The truth.

Has brocab or any of the other protestants claiming the pope said hell is not real been able to show where he said so?

Yes or no.
Christianity EtcRe: Hell Fire, Adam And Eve Are Not Real, Just Fables - Pope Francis. by brocab:
Then you need to study a bit more-Have you ever heard of the spear of destiny, look it up, its the Spear that pierce into Jesus side.

Just think? Well then for just their imaginations which had carried them, through and through, together they wrote a book so powerful that not even science could break through the code. A book that's travelled across our nations through centuries' until now-that who ever want's to know the secrets of this book will find it. This book is knowing to stand above all other books. From the beginning of time, all the prophesies have come to past until now.
And this book is knowing as the bible.
The truth will set you free.
knowyaself2:
Jesus did not exist my dear, that's the bitter truth for christains-this has been proved beyond all doubts. Go and read my post on ''Christ's Existence Not Substantiated by Historical Evidence''
The problem with christains, especially Nigerian Christians, is that they have been so indotrinated that they hardly research and ask thought-provoking questions. Whoever that has carried out a thorough research, and have most likely seen all the evidence attesting to the fact that both the old and new testament are figment of the Jewish people's imagination, and a sublimal tool and properganda to achieve their selfish interest at the detriment of the rest of the world; and still goes on to believe it, is crazy.
There's nothing original about the bible. Most of the concepts were stolen from acient pegan religion that predates it by thousands of years, and of course were further corrupted to give it a feel of originality.
The Jews created both the bible and quaran out of thin air to enslave the whole world - these two serve as their bulwark of power and control. And the annoying thing is that they even try to fool us by appearing to be hostile to these religions. The Jews excel in occult practices, and Christianity and Islam readily provide them with adequate supply of psychic energy. The everage deluded Christian is innocently devoted and committed, thinking they are worshiping the almighty God.
Jehova, Allah and Jesus Christ are just thoughtforms created by the Jews and made powerful through constant supply of psychic energy via worship, praises, adoration, etc. Then there are extra terristials beings out there impersonating these fiticious entities - greys, reptilians, and some nordics who made a deal with the vetican: souls(energy) in exchange for power and wealth. These are verified facts, not fables like the bible. People need to wake up - Jewish religion is the highest fraud ever known by humanity. Enough said.
Christianity EtcRe: Hell Fire, Adam And Eve Are Not Real, Just Fables - Pope Francis. by brocab: 1:45am On Sep 10, 2015
We Christians need to stick together, no-ones against other denominational's, My wife is Catholic all in all.
Theirs One God, one Lord, and one Spirit, if this is our goal to believe' then all I can say' as Jesus has written it in the bible through and through, then none of us has anything to worry about what's about to come towards the end.

Even the pentecostal's believers are seeing great changes with our leaderships involving the Church.
And many' like the Pope are pushing for the New World Order, as God had written it' this will happen.

Revelation 13:16-17 "And he causes all, both small and Great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive the mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, and no-one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation 20:4 "And then I saw thrones and those who were seated on them, and judgement was committed to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshipped the beast or his image.
misreal:
what can I more say..
Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab: 1:06am On Sep 10, 2015
Not really because the prophets spoke of the coming of Jesus before He arrived. God had all the authority before the seed.
dmandy:
Thanks,

but was he really a nobody before coming to earth through Mother Mary? 'He laid aside his msjesty' does the clause mean anything to you?
Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab: 12:23am On Sep 10, 2015
You connected before-when I wrote the seed had the authority, so when that seed became Human, the Kings bowed down to God's authority in person. which means God handed over all His authority over to Jesus.
dmandy:
I don't understand. How does it connect with the discussion?
Christianity EtcRe: Hell Fire, Adam And Eve Are Not Real, Just Fables - Pope Francis. by brocab: 12:15am On Sep 10, 2015
Let your fingers do the walking, you must wonder within why are so many protestants making these claims?
Is it because some of these claims are true.
We are already starting to see, the endtimes prophesies coming into place.
Soon the Pope's visiting the USA, their talks are about the New World Order climate changes and the New World Religion-Pope want's all churches to combined once again-together with the Catholic Church.

Italo we don't need the New World Order-without our freedom we are doomed.

@misreal,

What do you think drives some protestants like this, so-called followers of Jesus Christ, to continually fabricate lies against the pope and catholicism?

Or have they been able to tell us when and where the pope said so?
Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab: 11:53pm On Sep 09, 2015

When was Jesus given this authority, before birth, after birth or after death?
Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab: 11:45pm On Sep 09, 2015
His seed was given His authority.
The next story we hear was Jesus at the age of 12 years, when He was teaching the Pharisees on the temple Grounds, He's authority was already working strong into the word of God.

All thing were handed down to Jesus.
This is why, the lord expects us to read the word, so we won't be deceived by the deceiver.
God knew back then the world was becoming more corrupted like in the day's of Noah-So after He plants the seed into Mary-that seed rose up above given all God's authority-over to His Son Jesus, only God's seed Jesus could save God's people until the end.
dmandy:
So it was given to Him when He was born? Am I right?
Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab:
Matthew 29:18 "Then Jesus came to them and said. "All Authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
John 13:3 "Jesus knew that the Father had given Him authority over everything, and that He had come from God, and He will return to God.
So their you have it, God the Father gave Jesus all His authority-the old testament shows us' that Lord God himself took control of the world until Jesus was born, God had handed down given Jesus in the new testament all His authority.
If Jesus had already had all His Father's authority, then why would He say to His disciples, all the authority has been handed to Me from above-by My Father.

Genesis 28:17 "He was afraid and said how awesome is this place this is none other then the house of God and this is the gate of heaven.
dmandy:
Thanks for the correction.

But, when exactly did the father give Jesus the authority, before he was born? when he was born? abi na after he had died?

Your answer will help me understand how God actually changed.

Thanks for Keeping it civil.

Everyday the net is flooded with news reports about Pope Francis, everyday we are hearing how our beloved Churches are used and abused by wolves in sheep clothing-Italo open your eye's-listen what's going on around the globe.
Over and over the Christians have showing you and your gang where to find such information across the net, and you have chosen not to see for yourselves.
So you don't like the way my mama brought me into this world, guess who my Father is?

Maybe if you pull your head out of backside and stop criticising, and check out this news yourself, you may learn something in life.
The Vatican has many hidden secrets behind those doors, but you wouldn't know-you are to bissy rubbishing other Christians who are willing to speak forward.
Maybe you and your nosey gang-could consider listening instead of being such jerks, about anything that is happening in these last day's heading our way, millions of Christians are falling each day.
Maybe if you learn to pray to Jesus without Mary, you yourselves may receive the answers other believers have retrieved.
Remember not only the Catholic's but all believers have their issues.
italo:
Of course the Pope didn't say it.

What you must wonder is why so-called "christians" keep making up lies about the Pope and Catholicism.
Christianity EtcRe: Hell Fire, Adam And Eve Are Not Real, Just Fables - Pope Francis. by brocab: 5:56am On Sep 09, 2015
Which God is Pope Francis talking about?-Are we connected to the same word of God-does the Catholic's now have a new idea how the word of God should be written? What do the Catholic's believe in?
Where is the Holy Spirit-have they decided to push Him out of the way' like the Pharisees did after rejecting Christ.
We all agree God loves everyone-but He hates sin, sin wont get anybody into heaven-we as a nation of Christians cant encourage sinners to sin, we need to encourage them not too. Jesus is the door, He is the only way into heaven, one must be born again before he or she can enter into the kingdom of God.
In the last months the net has flooded news across the planet, and the Pope is calling all denominational Churches to join him, get ready for the One World Religion.
To be honest true believers in Christ would rather die-then fall with the devil.
The Pope has no-chance.
Here comes 2 Thessalonian's 2:3-4
emrain:
One man who is out to open many old “secrets” in the Catholic church is Pope Francis.
Some of the beliefs that are held in the church but contrary to the loving nature of God are now being set aside by the Pope who was recently named The Man of The Year by TIME Magazine . In his latest revelations, Pope Francis said:

“Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas. The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity.
God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God.”


In a shocking speech that is reverberating across the world, Pope Francis declared that: “All religions are true, because they are true in the hearts of all those who believe in them. What other kind of truth is there? In the past, the church has been harsh on those it deemed morally wrong or sinful. Today, we no longer judge. Like a loving father, we never condemn our children. Our church is big enough for heterosexuals and homosexuals, for the pro-life and the pro-choice! For conservatives and liberals, even communists are welcome and have joined us. We all love and worship the same God.”
In the last six months, Catholic cardinals, bishops and theologians have been deliberating in the Vatican City, in discussing the future of the church and redefining long-held Catholic doctrines and dogmas. The Third Vatican Council, is the largest and most important since the Second Vatican Council was concluded in 1962.
Pope Francis convened the new council to “finally finish the work of the Second Vatican Council.”
The Third Vatican Council concluded with Pope Francis announcing that… Catholicism is now a “modern and reasonable religion, which has undergone evolutionary changes. The time has come to abandon all intolerance. We must recognize that religious truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in stone. Even atheists acknowledge the divine. Through acts of love and charity the atheist acknowledges God as well, and redeems his own soul, becoming an active participant in the redemption of humanity.”
One statement in the Pope’s speech has sent traditionalists into a fit of confusion and hysteria… “God is changing and evolving as we are, For God lives in us and in our hearts. When we spread love and kindness in the world, we touch our own divinity and recognize it. The Bible is a beautiful holy book, but like all great and ancient works, some passages are outdated. Some even call for intolerance or judgement. The time has come to see these verses as later interpolations, contrary to the message of love and truth, which otherwise radiates through scripture. In accordance with our new understanding, we will begin to ordain women as cardinals, bishops and priests. In the future, it is my hope that we will have a woman pope one day. Let no door be closed to women that is open to men!”

Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab:
Are you still finding it hard to understand, God is Spirit, Jesus had clearly explained He was never the Father.

John 17:21 "I that all of them maybe one, Father just as you are in Me' I Am in You. May they also be in us so the world may believe, that you have sent Me.
John 10:29-30 "My Father who has given them to Me, is greater then all, and no-one is able to snatch them out of My Fathers hand. I Am and the Father are one.
Mark 16:19 "After the Lord had spoken to them He was taken up to heaven and He sat at the right Hand of God.
Not as God.
When Jesus said: I Am and the Father are one-meaning Jesus was preferring too, He is connected to His Father, like we are connected to our earthly fathers. Same blood line, don't forget Jesus also Had connected strongly with His Mother Mary.
God and Jesus are one, but not the same. God is Spirit.

At the age of 12 years Jesus said to His Mother and step father Joseph, I Am doing My Fathers business.
He never said: I Am doing My business.

dmandy:
@Bolded, are you for real?

God is not human, that he should lie,
not a human being, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act?
Does he promise and not fulfill?

Jesus is God and HE has had authority before the world was made (Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever). Try to read. God can never ever Change

It seems maybe you are having a little trouble understanding pure English. Can you read?

Jesus also said: no-one can go to the Father without Him. God had changed by given Jesus all his authority to change the law.

Then if you claim you are under the law, then you must tithe.
Matthew 5:16-17 "Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works. Do you think I have come to abolish the law and the prophets, I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them.

It shows clearly you haven't any understanding what Jesus is talking about when He said He had come to fulfil the laws.
The key to understanding the relationship between Christian and the law is knowing that the old testament law was given to the nation of Israel.
Some of the laws were revealed to the Israelites how to obey and please God,{the ten commandments for example} Some of the laws were to show the Israelites how to worship God and atone for sin {the sacrificial system} Some of the laws were intended to make the Israelites distinct from other nations {lets say the food and clothing rules} none of the old testament laws is binding on Christians today.

When Jesus died on the cross He put an end to the old testament law.
Romans 10:4 "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Galatians 3:23-25 "But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would after ward be revealed. V's 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no-longer under a tutor.
Ephesians 2:15 "Having abolished in the flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new Man from the two, thus making peace.

When you think about reading the old testament, the differences were-after comparing the two testaments-from a law given to Israel-Jesus had closed one door and opened another. So all man kind could share in the Good news-Jesus Himself have saved the world.
Not just Israel.
dmandy:
Sir Moses didn't have law. God gave the law through him. Yes I am under the law of God.
Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab: 4:00pm On Sep 07, 2015
It seems no-one else thinks like you-we are on two different wave lengths. You seem to think there are no differences between the two.
Everywhere around the nations we all have laws to obey, if we decide to break that law, we may end up fronting a judge, given us a fine.
The law in those day's had a percentage either 10% or 23% and more yearly-That's a law?

But in the other hand, if we were given a choice to give freely, we wouldn't have any reason to front up to a judge-and pay the fine.
That's the free willed giving.
And its not the differences in the spelling-the only difference is you aren't reading your bible, giving 'to you, means all in all.
dmandy:
Yes of course, they are different in spelling and pronunciation but shouldn't be in principle. Thanks anyways.

Matthew 23:23 " this scripture isn't about the tithe, its about the priest were neglecting the importance matters of the law, love thu neighbour. Jesus didn't say its not a bad idea" he only mention it, because Jesus knew in their hearts that was the only law they obeyed.
The Pharisees weren't givers, but takers, like Judas not giving to the poor they sold their spices to women loaded down with sins.
And pray to the lord, thank you lord I am not like of these tax collectors, and the tax collector bowed his head down beating his chest saying lord lord forgive me, and in this story which one was remembered more then the other.
dmandy:
Easy oga, we no de quarrel.

First, Jesus said its not a bad idea...here '"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former'

Secondly, God can take his gifts if he wants (Job 1:21), but you know that was not what I said. I said what God gives you, he expects you to share (To whom much is given, much is expected). And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased (Heb 13:16).

There's a lot of difference, between giving and tithing.
To be under presser, by entering any Church by any pastor who preachers on old testament tithing is working against God. We all know tithing no-longer exist with the Jews, {Not even in today's Israel the Jews tithe} So why should we' if we are gentiles?
If you say you give then give, no-ones stopping you.
dmandy:
Of course we are reading two different bibles na, my bible dey here with me and I don't know where you dey... it's impossible. lolx.

Did you read where Jesus said 'without neglecting the former?'

Whether na food products or money, what difference does it make? What was the goal? Was it not to meet the priests goal?

About Levites, I don't think we still need them... we have our pastors and priests and fellow Christians and they perform for us the same tasks as levites.
Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab: 3:02pm On Sep 07, 2015
Show me in scripture where Jesus said its not a bad idea to tithe? And show me in scripture where it says when Jesus gives He takes it back?
dmandy:
Is my pastor poor? I don't think so. Is he in need sometimes, yes. Now tithe is a law, but the soul of that law is 'charity'. Just every law has an essence. I hate it when pastors compel people to give or tithe, I go with you on that but Jesus himself said its not a bad idea to tithe.


And for the records I don't pay 10% of my earning, but I give to the pastor (and to others) whatever I feel I can give anytime any day. Everything giving to you is not yours to keep... but your to share.

It seems we are reading 2 different bibles, you are not understanding any of the written words I am sharing with you.
If God wasn't against tithing then why did God changed that old priesthood, and the law. And why is it we don't have levites any-longer since Jesus had change that law.
And can you tell me why Jesus predicted the tithing temple will fall to the ground, in Luke 21 Mark 13 and Matthew 24' is it because Jesus was telling us, who ever believes, the Holy Spirit now lives in all and all.Hebrews 7:
And Matthew 23:23 " they tithed in food products, do you tithe your food products to the Church? Or would you prefer to give your tithes in cash.
dmandy:
Your write up didn't prove that.

God is not against Tithing (I prefer giving) in any form, yet I don't believe he sins who don't. My take is that it shouldn't be a compulsion, but the freewill of the giver.

Christ taught us what is more important...charity. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab: 2:41pm On Sep 07, 2015
The difference is your pastors are not in need, tithing was about a law giving to certain farmers and herdsmen to tithe 23% on their yearly growth they grew from their crops or their stocks. The Lord trusted these certain men, promising them if they follow God's commandments, He will pour out His blessings across their lands.
Any pastor who preaches otherwise against the word of God-shouldn't be standing in any pulpit.
God's plans had nothing to do with someone collecting finances from the poor and the needy. Jesus didn't give people money-and He didn't give to take it back from you either-Once Jesus gave' its yours to keep.

You can give what you like? But if your not willing to study the scriptures yourself, its no-good trying to argue the point, because you yourself who pay tithes to your pastors, are helping to support the twisted lying wonders these so called men of God are spreading through the Churches. Will a man rob God.
And if you don't know the differences between what is a tithe, and what is giving-than without asking, I will let you on a little secret, tithing was a law, and giving is a free will offering.
No-man needs to remind me every week, will a man rob God-and how are we robbing you, through tithes and offerings.
Is your pastor poor, was your pastor a Levite, maybe his an orphan, he could be a widow.
Then Give...
dmandy:
Waoh... I have not looked at it from your perspective before. You must be a man of wisdom.

Jesus God gives, and man receives....but all these are done through a medium (another man). You see the little boy from your story gave o Jesus who later gave to people. You see Jesus actually asked "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."

I think that when you give to anybody in need (including your pastors) you are serving God. St. James thinks the same thing 'Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world'.
Christianity EtcRe: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by brocab:
Great speech, yes and as the Lord received, all He wanted was to bless those in need.

Was it not Judas holding the money bag, {that same Judas who betrayed the Lord} was it not Judas collecting from the people, because Judas was criminally minded as he was' being just a man as he is' he didn't understand the kingdom of heaven let alone Jesus.
All he could see was a worldly picture-his brain could only function a certain way-away without God.
Judas had seen a opportunity, without employment-he had started to make a cash flow, while the lord doing all the work-Judas was living of the blessings others financed, while the rest of the disciples relied on seeking after the lord Himself.
Judas said 'Lord the people have given us 30 pieces of silver, Jesus rebuking Him and said: give it to the poor.
Judas then walked away sorrowful.
Do you honestly believe Jesus would ask for tithes or offerings? Did Jesus not asked the Father to bless the small loafs with the 2 fish and fed 4 to 5000, on two separate occasions. Was it not the disciples, who dis-believed Jesus- before Jesus lifted up the left over fragments towards God and the baskets were full. And then they believed.
[color=#000099]Can you see the difference, between God and man-its man that takes, and a God that gives.

So with any theory that you may have, Jesus never asked anybody for monies, why should He-He gave everything. [/color]

Like Judas-man repeats themselves over and over without any dealt, we are all sinners.
dmandy:
I think your problem is calling it 'Tithe'. I know Christ collected some kind of support and offerings from his followers.
Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs... Matt 27:55
If you ask me I will say its okay to give to the Pastors whether you call it tithe o, offering o, gift o. Just give.. charity is the best yet it begins from home.
