He made it seem like he was giving all when in fact he was not giving all, the lessons seems to be, don't be a charlatan. I don't see how this effects anyone else's tithing apart from don't make your tithing to appear to be something that it is not.

"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.

Note that Ananias sold a piece of land, and brought part of the sale price to the apostles. He was under no compulsion to give them all of the proceeds, and according to the Bible, did not lie about how much he sold it for. (His wife, of course, following the commands of her husband, did lie.)

Let's see what happened, shall we?

Acts 5

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

Bobby Joe- You are so much more retarded than people give you credit for. That which you described is EXACTLY how businesses work in America. Businesses are driven by the almighty $ and the larger companies drive the smaller companies out of business. Just think about how many Mom and Pop's places have gone under when a Wal-Mart moves into the area. The same with phone companies, oil companies, electric companies, etc...etc...I could go on forever. The larger companies eat up the smaller ones when they start to gather up momentum. All due to the unregulating of business ethics from your "godly" Bush. His pockets are being lined from oil companies (that he hasn't driven into the ground) and in turn he lets them jack up the price of gas to record heights. He is a pathetic steaming pile of a president. I am counting the days 'till he's out of office!!!! (BTW for those interested it's 360 days, 4 hrs, 27 minutes, and 37 seconds till America can be FREE again!)

Re: Why do men have so many sperm if only one fertilizes the egg?

A man releases so many sperm because of a little known fact of "Survival of the Species-the strongest survive" Charles Darwin was a brilliant man and changed the way the educated view their world. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go murder some unborn!

Yes and we see what that belief has led to;communism, Nazis and Democrats. It is just a philosophy of death. Just imagine if the captains of American industry started taking this crush the weak and greed is good philosophy into there business. The number of lives that would be destroyed and countless thousands exploited. PRAISE Jesus Christianity doesn't let that happen!

Matthew 19:14 (King James Version)

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

This hardly makes sense.

I am sorry Unfalsifaible but what doesn't make sense? Were are we not allowing children to listen to Jesus teachings?

And what was it about the KJV saying Moses has horns in Exodus (34:29)? Did they change that to fix the mistake? Because in the KJV I have here, it doesn't say he has horns.

Re: Why do men have so many sperm if only one fertilizes the egg?

Of course there will be error, but that is the fault of man. I could pick up the original letters of Paul and translate them falsely then publish them - that would be my fault.

But God has got his book translated successfully, but in some publications there have been mistakes. KJV is one of them because moses did not have horns.

So a teenaged geek knows more than God about His Holy Word.

Jack Chick says otherwise.

The Holy KJV1611 Bible is the ONLY literal Word of God.

Frankly, you have zero credibility here, Mr. Falsies.

Re: Why do men have so many sperm if only one fertilizes the egg?

It has been properly translated in the instance we are looking at, man can refer to human, although Moses does not have horns, that is a translation ERROR of the KJV, if you don't believe that, go learn Hebrew.

You are telling us that only those who understand Hebrew are capable of understanding the word of God?

I'll repeat that again. Are you saying God allowed an error to happen with His word friend?

[Unfalsifiable]

Re: Why do men have so many sperm if only one fertilizes the egg?

Consider what you just wrote friend; you are saying God is too incompetent or to uncaring to see His Holy Word properly translated. Now does that sound like the all powerful, all knowing God we Christians worship?

Re: Why do men have so many sperm if only one fertilizes the egg?

Seriously, Paul is referring to man in general, as in human, read the original hebrew text.

Re: Why do men have so many sperm if only one fertilizes the egg?

Ok well should I pay twenty didrachms because that's a chapter Pastor Ezekiel has quoted from, to read the whole chapter carefully, that's actually what I should be paying...? Or even more so carefully the priest should be judging how much I am worth, because I am a poor man.

Seriously, Paul is referring to man in general, as in human, read the original hebrew text.

Anyway, this is going off-topic, Paul says I should give what I have decided in my heart to give. Jesus does not disagree with that.

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)."

You're refuted yourself in your own statement; "each man". Jesus was talking about a woman. There is more to reading the Bible friend, you must consider the words God's carefully chose to have written.
