Hello

[MeekServant]

I came across your page several months ago. I was shocked, entertained, confused, and intrigued.

I attend a Methodist Church. Jesus found me and I am very thankful for God's grace and blessings.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4

Re: Hello

Welcome to our church. Did you remember to tithe? "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings." Malachi 3:8

Re: Hello

Friend, I am overjoyed that you are putting the METH-odists behind you and becoming a Bible-following Baptist!



Was it the lady preachers that put you off, or their implicit support of sodomy?

Yours in Christ,

Thank you for the welcome. I give as God enables me. Thank you for asking.

I am happy with my church. We have a male pastor too. I was just looking for opinions and insight on some questions that have been in my mind recently and I came across your church's forum. Thank you for your reply.

Re: Hello

Why would you be happy with the Crystal Methodist "church"? It seems like a hot bed of "liberal" religion.

I pray you learn about the real word of God here. And BTW, you give 10%, that's what God has spelled out for you! Genesis 28: 22 " And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee."

That "As you can" or whatever is a sinner trying to get out of paying the Baby Jesus what He is entitled to! So pay up missy!!

With all due respect Mr. Helwys, My liberal views seem far more in line with the teaching of Jesus than the Republican perspective. We were instructed to give to the poor, not the rich.

And are you suggesting I take my husband's money for additional tithing?

The verse you refer to is just Jacob dealing with God, you know...IF God did so and so for him, Jacob would do that.

Yes, but I hope you don't give to the unemployed.

2 Thess 3:10b If any would not work, neither should he eat.

You seem like one of those people who get offended by preaching on tithing. Why is it all you liberals can think about is money? You said earlier you give as you can. Well, your giving doesn't even start till after you've paid your tithe. A tithe of everything you earn belongs to God. You don't give it to Him; it's His. It's not a gift; it's His due. Failure to render tithes is robbery.

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.

Giving is what you give over and above the minimum requirement.

Tithing is even mentioned in the New Testament. The priest Melchizedek was a type of Christ. By giving a tithe to Melchizedek, Abraham tithed to Jesus.

Heb 7:6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. (context)

Tithing separates the sheep from the goats. It shows where your heart is. Remember what Jesus said.

Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Re: Hello

MeekServant, does your husband know you are in the internet? I assume he's supervising your internet usage. I know my wife isn't allowed near any computers or anything that could potentially be used in some way by anyone for perverted reasons.

And why no picture? We like to see the pretty wholesome Christian ladies who come to our congregation.

Re: Hello

Mr. Pendergast,

It is you and those who replied to me who are thinking only of money. You have no idea what I give and to whom. You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

I will give to the hungry, children, elderly, and anyone who is need. Concepts in which Republicans do not have a clue.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy, Another truth some in this group will likely understand better when we reach the other side.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. The fear of the Lord is only the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Grow up.

Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, and soul. Love your neighbor as yourself. This is the teaching of Jesus, the summary of the law. You would be wise to understand it now.

Typical liberal: thinks she can quote scripture but can't cite any of the passages she tries to take out of context.

I will pray for you with faith Jesus will fill you with his love before you become a succubus harlot in Satan's harem.

Maybe you should worry less about other people's eyes and more about your salvation.



Also: do you understand the biblical concept of neighbor? Hint: it's not the person living next door to you.

Well, if you were a real Christian, you would give to whomever God tells you give -- the church, your parents (Mk 7:8-13), etc.

Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, and soul. Love your neighbor as yourself. This is the teaching of Jesus, the summary of the law. You would be wise to understand it now.

Pastor Jones has an excellent sermon on just that topic. You do realise we only have to love our neighbours and our brothers and sisters in Christi, right? We should hate God's enemies.

Ps 139:21-22 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

Re: Hello

Actually Jesus said to love your enemies.

Yes sir. My husband allows me to use the internet. I might use a photo later.
