Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (JN 8:32)
I will keep on tithing because, as the scripture teaches, Jesus receives my tithe: Hebrews 7:4-8: Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best spoils. They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of...more
I will keep on tithing because, as the scripture teaches, Jesus receives my tithe: Hebrews 7:4-8: Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best spoils. They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham, but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has taken tithes of Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises. But without any dispute the less is blessed by the better. Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
Also note that tithing predates the law of Moses (Genesis 28:22). It is a spiritual principle and principle do not change.less
Praise the Lord for our sister in Christ, Paula White. If you have ever heard her preach, you know that God's anointing is on her and her ministry. Others may judge her and condemn her but there is now no condemnation on those who are in Christ Jesus. If you disagree with what she does, then you should pray for her.
Who brought up the subject of other religions? Here we are talking about the validity of the New Testament documents. We are not discussing other religions or even the validly of their sacred documents. You guys should go read F. F. Bruce's book: The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable?
One book can not wipe out nearly 2000 years of scholarship. In every generation some individuals attempt to push the idea that Christianity is false, the Bible is not just made up or Jesus never existed. But if Christianity were based on a flawed foundation then it would have not lasted this long. Yet, the foundation has proven to be true and their is power, yes, life transforming power the result...more

Well Mike, you should check out what the Bible says about believers: 2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. And Ephesians 2:10, For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

Why don't you accept and receive these truths of God's word by faith rather rationalize against them?less
Well Mike, if that is what you think Christianity is then maybe you should leave it. But we believers understand that the thing we are to deny is our sinful, carnal nature. Our ultimate goal is to be conformed to the image of Christ and to manifest the fruit of God's Spirit. What could be wrong with that?
I see a pattern too: But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name: who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12, 13 For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba ! Father!" Romans 8:15 And beca...more

That is right. Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship with a real person. We have Christ living inside of us. He said we, his sheep, hear his voice. It not us doing our own thing, because for us to live is Christ. We are to manifest the life of Christ in this world. And we can accomplish this by dying to self yielding to the guidance of his Spirit.
Christianity is a relationship: Remember what Jesus said: Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.Revelation 3:20 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5
