How do you give money to God? Does He come and collect it? And tithing is really a tax imposed by one's church, isn't it? So doesn't tithing actually defeat one of the real purposes of a church - charitable acts - because when you tithe, or or a leader of a church that expects tithing, doesn't your contribution stop being charity and start being demanded?
Originally posted by knightwestMy dear friend, you dont have a clue what you are talking about! Why are you standing up for Sas? Cant he do that for himself? It is insulting! Who are you to judge me?
Your assumption that Jesus needs you to stand up for him is laughable. Should Jesus be offended by anything anyone says about him in these forums, then he will work it out with that person himself.
You judge other people's approach to their faith as not good enough, implying that you are somehow better because you are vocal about it.
Sas's relatio ...[text shortened]... call him a so-called Christian. That is insulting. Who are you to judge his, or anyone's faith?
Really, I am not agreeing with him. THAT IS WHY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT. You must have a misundestanding about judgement. How do you see 'Judging" people knightwest?

I think you mean "hear hear".
It is a statement made when someone makes a point one agrees with, usually at public speeches or dinners.
It refers to the audience "hearing" (and agreeing with) what the speaker has just said.
It has nothing to do with the location one finds oneself in when the statement is made.
Subtle difference, but important.
Blindfaith is a South African
Here in english means "here is the 20 bucks i owe you" (something like that)
Here in afrikaans means God.

God has a sense of humor, Nic. A sick sense of humor, sometimes. Why else would he have men peak sexually at 18 and women at 35? You guys have to relax. I'm not attacking Jesus. I think your self-righteous proselytizing is absurd. There's a BIG difference. You're doing it again - doing the same thing bf does. If I call you absurd, it's the s ...[text shortened]... o, no it's not. That's putting yourself on the same level as God. You should be more humble.
But what the real problem is, is that we are not critized or mocked as a person ourselfs, but cause we are mocked and called names cause of our beliefs - is infact - mocking God. (From a Christian's point of view)

[b]I wonder how many non-christians and people not believing in Jesus Christ would enter this thread just because the name says "Christians ONLY please!!!".
So what was the purpose of this thread - just to test people? You didn't open your thread with any kind of discussion topic, so I must conclude that yes, this thread has absolutely no pur ...[text shortened]... come and take us home. Amen.[/b]
That's the only unoffensive statement in your entire post.[/b]
1- The purpose of the thread was to test people - and it worked perfectly.
2- I certainly agree with you that we understand God in different ways. We surely are on different levels with Him as well. I as a Christian I only believe in One True God. Thank you for trying to bless me with allah's blessings, but it has fallen on dead grounds - allah is dead in a grave with bones. Jesus died, came back from the dead and is sitting next to God on the thrown. Jesus's grave is empty.
3- We need to pray for people who has a misunderstanding about God. And also pray for people who dont know God sothat He may do something for them for them to be able to hear or see Him.
4- By approacing someone who does not believe in God - dont you think you need all the help you can get - who better can help you than God Himself?
We need the full armor of God to protect is from not falling into the devils trap. We must not get anry but keep calm sothat God may do His work.
What? What are you talking about?
5- The armour of God protects Christians against evil. It is spiritualy, not fisically. In other words, here I am asking God to protect us against all evil that will try and stop us talking about God.
I know that they are mocking our God, calling Him names, even swearing Him. It is difficult to keep calm, but we should not let anyone get to us.
Who's mocking your God? What are you talking about?
6- All people who does not believe in God.
If we cant win Souls for God, God will take it further.God knows that we are only human and...
What does this mean?
7- It means, that if we cannot tell other people about God, and try to make them believe that He really does exist, that we are only human and that He now can take it further.
...He knows that we have tried our best, but then it had to be the best.
This is completely unintelligible. This makes no sense whatsoever. This is like when someone tries to string together words that sound nice together but comes up way short.
8- This is cause you dont know everything there is to know about God. once you get to know God and the Bible, everything will make sence. All the missing pieces will come together to give you the bigger picture about Jesus.
Dear Lord, I ask that You will give us the strength to do Your work. May we not fall down, but keep on going until You will come and take us home. Amen.
That's the only unoffensive statement in your entire post.
9- Thank you

OK - so what do you think about God telling Bush to start a war?
You know - it could be true that God told him to do so. We will never know it. It could of been the devil also. All Christian's are attacked by the devil you know.
It could of also been that Bush wanted to catch some shine infront of the world, and made the choice himself. It could of been his board that made him do it - even his wife? Who knows.
My personal opinion - God works in mysterious ways. If God told Bush to make war, Bush obeyed Him them. (After all - its God's world)

So if God showed up on earth and started driving swords through newborn babies, that would only add to His mysterious charm? It's His creation so He can do whatever He fancies without moral repercussion? Like sending a devastating flood? Is that the idea? I guess that OT God is awfully "mysterious" then.
Also, could you please point out a specific time when you have good reason to believe that the devil "attacked" you. I am interested to know what a devil attack feels like.
