    Re: How much should I tithe?

    People should tithe as their hearts and wallets dictate. Remember Acts 11:29:

    Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea.

    As a Unitarian Universalist minister, I make my living from the generosity of the congregants of my church, and I am thankful for their kindness. I pray every day that my services be worthy of their largesse. But I make enough to live a comfortable life, and I would never want to take a widow's last farthing or money from a student who needs it to complete her or his education. There is a collection plate in my church, but there is no cover charge.
    ...as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14 (emphasis mine)

      Even I would have to disagree with you here. The Lord commands us to tithe 10 percent of our income. However, offering, which is what you're talking about, is optional.

          It's ignorance like this that makes you unworthy to be a part of this august congregation. This is God's One True Church. Failure to accept this shows you for what you are, an idolator..

              Personal attacks are Satan's handiwork. Please refrain. And if you have to ask the question why this Church is special is more proof that you are not worthy.

                Well, what makes a Christian? Is it plunking your ass down in a pew a couple of times month, tossing some spare change in collection tray, and listening to some shyster bleat platitudes about how Jesus wants us to love everyone, accept and even respect their different views on life, child rearing, the role of women in society and the church, etc., all of which are completely indefensible when you know what the Bible really says, or is it doing what these people do, living 100% by the Word of God, as revealed in the King James Bible?

                No one here is saying that no other church in the world is as good as Landover. What they are saying is that, despite vast effort, they haven't found one. If you locate a church that follows the Bible perfectly (like Landover), then I can't see them objecting to you donating your money there rather than here.

                  Landover Baptist Church follows the LORD's Holy Bible 100%, without condition, without excuse. We make no apologies for our devotion to the Holy Bible, our attention to detail, and our responsibility to convert the entire world (Matthew 28:19). In this way, Landover Baptist Church can guarantee Salvation. That's not a trivial thing to have, considering one day you will stop living and face your eternal destiny. If you can find another church that offers the same, please do share. It would be nice to know where other True Christians™ can be found.

                  Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

                    You are the second person today to use 'ignorant' as a noun rather than an adjective, whilst proclaiming your own cleverness. Which just goes to show.

                    Kindly refrain from personal attacks. The mullet is a Godly hairstyle, and should be respected as such.

                      You're not racist against people with Mullets? Why do you attack my wop friend? You sound pretty racist to me.

                      And exactly what does "I was, and am, legitamitely curious why to just your church"? Are you on drugs or do you stutter?

                      What about other Christian churches?? They're liars. Do you know another Christian Church that has actual videotape of Christ walking on water? I didn't think so.

                      You are the racist one. You make accusations without evidence of proof. You are either a crack whore or a drunken spic. How dare you make unfounded accusations against us pig.

                          First, mullets aren't a race. It's a hairstyle. Apparently a godly one, something I was not aware of.
                          Second, no I am not on drugs and neither do I stutter. I simply used different tenses to indicate a past interest that has continued into a current one.
                          Third, is that video online? I'd honestly love to see it!

                                I give 100% of what I can to Landover. I get back 250%. Win-Win
                                Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
                                Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
                                Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
