Re: Why do men have so many sperm if only one fertilizes the egg?
"Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7)."
The poor woman gave more because she gave everything she had, and that is amiable. Evidently Jesus was working in percentages rather then numbers when it came to giving. It makes sense that if you are poor it is easier to give away everything, because you have less.

Re: Why do men have so many sperm if only one fertilizes the egg?
Friend,Originally posted by Unfalsifiable View PostJesus is just praising her donation rather then instructing people on how much they have to give, anyway. Paul makes it clear you don't have to give everything. I'm disappointed that you all seem to not respect Paul! Go read Corinthians again.
I think you are not clearly understanding Jesus' words. When you are poor you need to give the most in a tithe. The rich and everyone else just need to tithe as Paul says.
It makes sense don't you think? If you are poor then clearly Jesus is withholding wealth because of your sins. Heavy tithing would be part of the sinners atonement to The Lord for their sins.

No, he's saying: ho's more powerful and better, Jesus Christ, or Paul?
Methinks Jesus!

Are you suggesting Paul's words are anything but inspired by God?

And that's from the NT as well. There's no way you can claim that's outdated.Originally posted by Pastor Ezekiel View PostJesus said that if you are poor, you need to give everything.
Mark 12:41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. Mark 12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. Mark 12:43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: Mark 12:44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Yes, because Paul's certainly a higher authority than OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, isn't he?Originally posted by Unfalsifiable View PostWell you are ignoring what Paul said if you should have me do what you have just told me to do.This isn't about you, it's about God. If you want to "cultivate yourself as a person", become a secular humanist, as long as you don't mind going to Hell when you die.To give away everything is not what I believe God would want me to do as that would hinder my cultivation as a person.
There are ways of saving money. I'm sure you could find some ways to spend less money on food and more on tithing, praise Jesus.Anyway, as I say, I have no money, to refund tuition fees you must make your decision before a November last year. This computer is university owned. I get money from my parents to live off, but it is not my money, it is for food.
Why do you think God created Hellbound scum like you?

That's despicable.
Well, thank you for telling us what we already knew. What revelation are you going to shock us with next - the Bible is God's Word? The sky is blue? Satan is bad? Fish like being wet?

Re: Why do men have so many sperm if only one fertilizes the egg?
First of all, I resent the term "Unsaved Trash" because as a matter-of-fact, I am saved and am a Child of God. And if there were no lost people, then what better to do than to worship God? Isn't that what he wants from all people--a true love for Christ and devotion to Him? Christianity is not just about telling people about Christ, but you must also walk the walk and do as Christ tells you.Originally posted by JennyD View PostIf there were no UnSaved trash like you, to whom would we spread God's good news?!
I suppose we could sit around and tell one another . . . Cheshire and I could have a Girls' Night In and do one another's hair while discussing Jesus, but that'd be like most any other Saturday night in Freehold.

You need to be Saved to understand anything. How can you understand Jesus, if you do not read the holy KJV? That's like saying you understand math, when you think 2+2=elephant.

If all were saved, virtue would not be appreciated. The sinners make the pious look better.
I shudder to think of a world without unsaved scum like you. Nobody would gush about my Godliness and praise my many, many remarkable qualities. I would no longer stand out as a completely perfect specimen of holiness to be envied by all.

Well you are ignoring what Paul said if you should have me do what you have just told me to do. To give away everything is not what I believe God would want me to do as that would hinder my cultivation as a person. To take it to the extreme i would die, as everything I have would go to you, always. Every scrap of food, every piece of clothing.Originally posted by Pastor Ezekiel View PostJesus said that if you are poor, you need to give everything.

Re: Why do men have so many sperm if only one fertilizes the egg?
But doesn't the new testament disagree with what you just quoted? I.e. paul talks about just giving what you can afford to give/what you want to give:Originally posted by Pastor Ezekiel View PostAre you completely unfamiliar with the Holy Bible, heathen?
Lev 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, [even] of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
Num 18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe.
Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

What belief do you hold about tithing? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask that.Originally posted by Pastor Ezekiel View PostWell that's all fine and dandy, son, but spending all your time nit-picking and demanding to know "why" all the time is no way to gain Salvation. You need to shut up and believe. Accept God's Word, and accept that we are incapable of knowing all of the "whys and wherefores" of God's Divine Plan. If you make it to Heaven, I'm sure Jesus will be happy to explain it all over a cold beer and a plate of barbecue.
Now, have you Tithed yet?
Anyway I do think that you can shut up and believe whilst you nit-pick and, rather then demand, search to find out "why". I know that I accept God's word, but it is God's word that I want to accept and not anything else, surely that is respectable.
