What? You cannot afford to go and meet all of them? Surely if God gave you the onus to correct them then He will supply your needs to do so yes? Please know that I am being light hearted and just kidding with you here. It is intended though to help you to see that even the minister who God...

The difference here is that what Paul rebuked Peter for was actions that were negating everything that Jesus just got done doing for them. Paul also rebuked Peter to his face. Here, you are trying to "rebuke" somebody who is not even a part of this thread over their actions that you "feel" are...

It is not up to you or to me to determine what a minister "needs". That is between them and God. If they are abusing it and hurting God's children, rest assured that God Himself will deal with it. It is not your concern, nor is it mine. If said minister is too expensive for you, then bring in...

I believe that the sinful nature of a child should be obvious to anybody who has raised or been around children. This does not mean that they are sinners. Likewise, if Jesus did inherit the sinful nature of man through Adam it does not mean that He was a sinner, only that it would have been...

Agreed. Jesus exampled how to live for us. The best way to do that was to be tempted by sin but to overcome it. He kept His eye on God and stayed focused on Him throughout his life. Jesus lived His life as an example for the rest of us to follow.

Wouldn't the sinful nature be passed down through several generations?

Yes, sinful in nature (selfish for example) yet not being held accountable for the sin because they are children. I am unsure if Jesus had the sinful nature or not, but: Mary definitely knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that He was special. Jesus was tempted in all ways (tough to be tempted...

Abraham was not under a compulsory law when he gave tithes to Melchizedek nor are we.

Abraham was not under the law.

The principle of tithing was exampled by Abraham before the old covenant. Jesus quoted from Malachi yet did not tell us that tithing is a thing of the past and is no longer a principle. Tithing, like all other areas of the bible, can be turned legalistic and that was never it's intent. It...

To me it seems like you are getting caught up in your own pre-conceived ideas about how much a minister should make and how much he should get paid. God supplies many different ministers with many different personalities and many different strong points, all in an effort to reach the many...

This thread is truly disheartening. David, when he was being chased by King Saul (who was completely off base and in the wrong) did not wish to do him harm because he recognized that he was God's anointed. Yet here is this thread full of people who take the name of the Lord thy God but throw...

I can tell you that I personally tithe and am 100% convinced that it is the right thing to do. There are many people who argue that it is not new covenant. I am not one of them. You do not tithe in order to increase, you do not give sacrifice in order to receive abundance from God, you give...
