You're digging yourself in deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and deeper.

Danny, assuming that you are saved, and assuming that someday you mature, both in Christ and as a human being, one day you'll look back in shame and horror at the way you treated people on this forum.

I hope for all our sakes, but especially yours, that that day comes soon.

We will be judged at the judgement seat of Christ ( only believers will be there ) for what we did AFTER we were saved
Im all for bearing fruit , of course we are called to do that , but its NOT what saves us or keeps us saved
And Christians ( i prefer to say Believers , cause alot of people say they are Christian when they havent trusted Christ alone for their salvation ) are NOT dead in their trespasses and sins , we have been redeemed
You need to rightly divide the word , and distinguish between the covenants

sorry renewed , put your post in there by mistake :)

If the law of tithing still has to be kept, which years are we in? The years when we eat our own tithe in the presence of the Lord:

22“You shall surely tithe all the produce from what you sow, which comes out of the field every year. 23“You shall eat in the presence of the LORD your God"-Deuteronomy 14:22-23

Or in the year when we give all our tithe to those in ministry, the aliens, the fatherless and the widow?

"28“At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in that year, and shall deposit it in your town. 29“The Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance among you, and the alien, the orphan and the widow who are in your town, shall come and eat and be satisfied "-Deuteronomy 14:28-29

Please don't waste your energy trying to convince me that God is pleased with losers. That means the parable of the talents was a fairy tale.

i dont think Jesus, John and the 12 are losers.

but according to you the Lord is more pleased with king herod and the rich roman emperors.

John Baptist lived in the wilderness, was clothed with camel’s hair, and ate honey and locusts.

Here is what Jesus said about John:

Matthew 11:

7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

You're preaching the Satanic gospel of poverty, I'm talking about the Gospel of Jesus Christ

John, the one Jesus called the greatest of all the prophets, followed a satanic gospel?

You have to start learning to rely on your own acquired wisdom and knowledge and not allow a pastor to do your thinking for you.

it'd be nice if we could actually talk to the pastor Danny's put his application in to sit under.
maybe he'd clear some things up.

hey Danny, ask him to join CC, would you?

In that case the acquired wisdom and knowledge probably would not amount to much.
