I have gone back and forth on the issue of tithing for a while, and have done some studying on my own. I am still not quite sure what I think. I probably lean more towards a grace giving position. What position do you hold to, and why?

I posted this earlier on my fb page and wanted to share with everyone here. Enjoy! Wow!!!! What an exciting and powerful way to end a week! We attended the 2016 Prayer Conference at the Marietta Bible Center Church, in Marietta, Ohio. This is our "back home" church that we were members of before moving to the Columbus area in 1997. Overall, it was amazing!! To be able to see the Lord move and work in hearts in beyond words. I know of at least 4 people that were saved this past week. I believe that there may have been one more but I am not sure. Two of the people that were saved, were led to the Lord in a local laundry mat, and I don't believe that they missed one…

I know this is an older book and may have been discussed here before. I am reading it now for the first time. I am not finished with it yet but will be soon. Many may wonder why a person who believes firmly in the superiority of the KJV would choose to read a book like this. I like to look at both sides of the coin. I find it very difficult to speak to someone intelligently if you do not have some knowledge of their position. The author of the Book claims he believes the KJV to be a fine and trustworthy translation but then bashes it and shows how it and the TR are filled with errors. He then shows obvious bias towards the NIV and Vaticanus and Sinaiticus a…

With the entrance of the new year, I have been burdened to engage somehow in a forum Bible study that would contain both doctrinal depth and instructional edification. At present my thought is that this Bible study should cover a passage of not more than 10 chapters. (Actually, for the first attempt at such a Bible study, I would think that it would be better to have a smaller number of chapters; however, I do not desire to limit the guidance of the Holy Spirit in this matter.) Furthermore, my thought is that this Bible study would (at first) encompass two complimentary threads -- (1) This very thread, which would be for instructional guidance concerning the p…

With North Korea leading the way and Islamic extremism rapidly expanding, 2015 was the "worst year in modern history for Christian persecution," according to a group tracking this issue. Iraq is in second place on Open Doors' 2016 World Watch List, a ranking of the top 50 most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian. It's the first of 35 countries on the list where Islamic extremism "has risen to a level akin to ethnic cleansing," said the report, released Wednesday (Jan. 13). The nonprofit organization Open Doors has focused on concern for persecuted Christians since 1955. On its map, the top 10 are highlighted in blood red to indicate …

Child killer Robert Black dies in Northern Island prison. Here is an interview with the mother of one of his victims. This is a truncated version of the interview on the main news today. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-35304387 On the news the husband also spoke, saying one of his sons wrote to the killer, urging him to repent, and his other son sent him a bible. He added that he wished Black had repented and gone to heaven but that he showed no remorse and he feared he was in the depths of Hell.

Joshua 1:6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.…

As of this morning, I noticed that "Genevanpreacher's" postings are now under the name "Nobody ever." I am wondering what this name change might indicate. Is this simply a member changing his name? Or, is this something else . . .?

It has been said by many that in the story of the widow who put her last two mites in the Temple Treasury was being commended by Jesus after she did so. I am not so sure this was the case. Notice: Mark 12:38-44 And he said unto them in his doctrine, BEWARE OF THE SCRIBES, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: WHICH DEVOUR WIDOWS HOUSES, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation. 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. And there cam…

Merry Christmas to all. May God bless you and your family during this holiday season. May the song, especially the meaning of the words of, "O Come, O come, Emmanuel," be a blessing to you this holiday season. If any of the brethren have a favorite Christmas song (that is traditional in music, or classical in style, and not CCC), and would like to add it this thread please do so! Alan

Disciples of Christ Beliefs and Practices Explore the Beliefs of the Disciples of Christ (Christian Church) By Jack Zavada, About.com Contributing Writer The Disciples of Christ, also known as the Christian Church, has no creed and gives its congregations complete autonomy in their doctrine. As a result, beliefs vary widely from individual church to church, and even among members within a church. Disciples of Christ Beliefs Baptism - Baptism symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It signifies new birth, a cleansing from sin, the individual's response to God's grace, and acceptance into the faith community. Bible - Disciples of Christ con…

This is a "poll" but I don't know the proper way to do one. I just punched a 1/2" plug out of these two "Silver Eagles" and am ready to start forming them into rings. If you had one made, would you prefer the "United States of America 1 Oz Fine Silver......" on the outside, or "Liberty, In God We Trust", and your birth year? All words should be visible, but some will be on the "inside" of the ring. These two are for Christmas gifts and I am NOT trying to sell anything to any of y'all. Just would like some opinions. (sorry for the bad cellphone pics) Thanks

I don't know if everyone celebrates Thanksgiving, but it's good to always take the time to be thankful. What are you thankful for? I am thankful for our loving Heavenly Father, my Savior, God's precious Word, and His countless blessings on me: my wonderful husband, my talented son, the rest of my family, my dearest friends, my church family and my internet friends -- just the tip of the iceberg! I'm also especially thankful that hubby and I will be leaving tomorrow for a much needed weekend away at the family cabin for my birthday. So excited!

Today I drove onto base to collect hubby from work and saw some people out running, but they were running backwards. I had drove on base a couple weeks ago on a very nice day to find 5-7 people running backward around the building. I find it amusing because hubby inadvertently started this. When he was working with recruits he would lead them in physical fitness training, trying to get them ready to pass the physical fitness test before shipping off to boot camp. Most of these kids are involved in no physical activity at all, except that of their thumbs (video games) So leading them in the 2 mile run was challenging. Hubby would hang back with the stragglers and freq…

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Also, there is no soul sleep in the Bible. Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. The dead do not know what is happening on the earth after they are removed from it. It is not that they have no knowledge (or thoughts) whatsoever, but that they cannot or do not know what happens after they pass away - they have no knowledge of what is happening “under the sun” once they have gone to either the eternal home of the righteous or the unrighteous. Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. -

Here is what you said and I replied to.... The Bible mentioned if any man add or subtract to the Word of God? I know they’re not changing the Words, but they are adding to the Bible, man-made rules and songs, to it. With your criteria, Paul's Journey is no different than political addiction as they are both placed by men. You said "Adding to the Bible" as being the problem, not political motivation. -

I’m a very busy person helping my wife around the house, I cook sometimes, I clean the dishes plus put them away. I help with the laundry, and dry plus fold the clothes. I wash my wife’s car and pass vacuum inside, Shine wheels. It’s hard work sometimes, if I was only a pastor, I wouldn’t have to do all these things. 🤣 -

Revelation 14:10-11: "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." Revelation 20:15: "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 21:8: "And the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
