    Sex! The Religion of America?

    Hmmmm, ....Well, YES!!....The Pharisees and the Sadducees were still in control of the religious system of Jesus' day, from the time of His birth. Who else do you think He was constantly arguing with!? But, by the time Jesus was born what was left of the nation of Israel was subject to the...

    What does the Bible say about separation of church and state?

    Hi, I have a booklet of the Constitution of the United States, where is the Establishment Clause, I can't find it in the index. Is it under one of the Articles?, or one of the Amendments?

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    I have nothing more to say to you on the topic, I've said all that I'm going to say. You're welcome to your own beliefs, but now I'm done and done with this.

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    Well, that may be true, and so, but both Pastor Arnold & Pastor Dennis, both preach chapter & verse, in the context, and for the meaning given, as far as I'm concerned they're very biblical. I think we all have the option to agree to disagree, I think they used to call that "detente".

    Has anybody seen the videos on Youtube of the 2016(?) Gotthard Tunnel Opening Ceremony in Switzerland? It's kind of in your face, up front.

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    Well, I'm very sorry, but I respectfully disagree with that. Pastor Murray, himself, has taught about what constitutes a cult, what they do, what makes them a cult, what they will do to you. I've been sent lots of stuff by my sisters, who rather than rejoicing for me that the Lord called me...

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    My own experience with Arnold Murray's teachings was not so positive. I was able to use a Strong's concordance and see that his anti-semetic theory about Kenites was not backed up by scripture. It was backed up by a lot of 'Because I say so' line of reasoning. Murray argued that Eve had sex...

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    Well, that's not necessarily true, there are real time, actual physical blessings from God for our obedience. As written in Malachi: Malachi 3:10 "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not...

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    Yeah, Apostle Paul, and Priscilla, and her husband Aquila were tentmakers. They all worked for a living. I think Paul took that point of view, to avoid accusatory finger-pointing by people who were against him. The 10% tithe came from when in Numbers Ch.s 16, 26 & 27 the Levites sided with...

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    Angela53510, Pastor Murray didn't take a salary from the church that developed out of his home bible study group, either, he worked. He didn't pass a plate in church, there is a box on the back wall of the church, and people gives as freely as they are able. He didn't believe in passing a plate...

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    That's ok, that's good. They got it all laid out for everybody to see. I was raised in the Lutheran Church, I had a horrid time of it as a kid, eventually I fell away. I wouldn't watch televangelists either. I thought they were all a bunch of crooks. And of course, things didn't improve...

    What is your BEST PROOF for a pre-trib Rapture?

    I agree with you on this, but unfortunately we're living "in the days when the love of many will wax cold"(Matt. 24:12), even among Christians. I think, (I could be wrong, but) I think that's why Jesus gave the commandment in John 15:12 "This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I...

    What is your BEST PROOF for a pre-trib Rapture?

    According to Matt. 13:36-43 says that. It's not my idea, not what I say, but what Jesus said in the Bible, His word, it always has to be His word and none other. The Parable of the Tares is in Matt 13:24-30, but Jesus' explanation is in Vs.s 36-43. In both the parable itself, and in His...

    Torah Observant Christians.

    The Torah, is the first 5 books of the Old Testament, and for many years that's all they had; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. Are you talking about those books? or are you talking about the Talmud, which is a disgusting piece of work! We can't literally live today, in the...

    Why pastors and preachers should not be receiving salaries

    I have a problem with tithing, if the people in charge of the ministry that I give to, doesn't separate the money that's supposed to go to church support & projects, from the money that they use for their personal expenditures. I like to know that when I actually donate money to build wells in...
