    Is tithing your expectation when giving?

    Nope. Basically, tithing has been misunderstood. According to the core teachings of scripture, the church should stop asking for tithes. Instead, believers should give what they have decided in their hearts for church maintenance, as mentioned in 2 Corinthians 9:7. The purpose of tithing is for...

    Is tithing your expectation when giving?

    Deuteronomy 14:22-26 states, "...Take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. There you may spend the money on whatever you desire—cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice with...

    Baptism forgives sins?

    We should consider whether Jesus himself placed significant importance on this. As recorded by his disciple, John the Baptist, who preached about Jesus, would have had no reason to reject Jesus’ authority if Jesus had emphasized baptism in his name. If baptism in Jesus' name was crucial, Jesus...

    IF WATER BAPTISIM SAVES ,Water baptism WHY WAS JESUS WATER BAPTIZED ??

    None of the OT examples in the NT that reference water baptism, such as those of Noah or Moses, suggest that the individuals involved physically came into contact with the water during the process. Those who did touch the water in those events were rejected, much like the Egyptians who entered...

    Baptism forgives sins?

    Despite Jesus undergoing water baptism administered by John the Baptist (Matthew 3:15-17), Apostle Paul regarded John's baptism as inappropriate (Acts 19:4-6). However, it is intriguing that Jesus did not intervene to prevent John from baptizing others, even when His disciples began baptizing...

    The Body of Christ is the one true church

    Paul strongly warns against creating divisions or aligning with specific leaders in 1 Corinthians 1:10–13. Christianity is a shared faith rooted in truth, much like fields such as mathematics or science. However, just as not everyone fully understands or applies mathematics correctly, the words...

    Jesus has broken the Sabbath

    Hold on, you missed one of the most important questions. I'll restate it here for you to answer. @Icyspark and @SabbathBlessings, feel free to join in. Changing the order of my questions will, of course, alter the premise, which you have currently positioned incorrectly. I have also asked...

    Jesus has broken the Sabbath

    In case you didn't read the Bible enough, it is clearly stated that an ox is not allowed to work during the Sabbath. I often see @HIM agreeing with your posts, yet he seems unable to answer his own contradictions. While I hope that the one who agrees with you is God Himself, backing you with His...

    Jesus has broken the Sabbath

    Buddhist monks today are evidence that their preachers do not need a salary for their preaching activities. Similarly, Jesus did not receive a salary during his three years of ministry, and Paul made tents to support himself. According to scripture, priests were provided with food, not money. So...

    Jesus has broken the Sabbath

    Jesus said that doing good on the Sabbath is not a sin, which is why he healed freely. However, a doctor receives payment after treatment, and do not do it for free during Sabbath. You cannot equate free acts with those that involve payment. The Pharisees accused Jesus because they misunderstood...

    Jesus has broken the Sabbath

    Yes, I said what I meant. People can’t just present their thoughts without a solid foundation for their beliefs. If the house collapses when the wind blows, should we just say "it’s okay"? That’s not what the Truth is about. The scripture, which is inspired by God, also says in 1 Corinthians...

    Jesus has broken the Sabbath

    You tend to selectively read the text. I quoted the entire verse, which explains that the worker is worthy of his wages. I won't let you evade defending your argument. If you receive wages for your non-secular work, you are breaking the Sabbath Commandment that you preach so fervently. This is...

    Jesus has broken the Sabbath

    Here is the definition of work according to the God-breathed scripture, 1 Timothy 5:18: "For the Scripture says, 'Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,' and, 'The worker is worthy of his wages.'" The priests received their share for their work on the Sabbath. In contrast...

    Jesus has broken the Sabbath

    You need to understand the logic here. The Bible does not say that working itself is a sin; it specifies that working on the Sabbath is a sin. Otherwise, the scripture would not mention the priests breaking the Sabbath. Therefore, your reference to 2 Timothy 3:16 does not support your argument...

    Jesus has broken the Sabbath

    This is how Jesus explains not deviating from the commandment: Matthew 15:3Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’ 5But you say that...
