If anyone questions the bible if it's truth or not has missed the point altogether,if people don't want to see the bible as truth,should atleast see that the teachings make good sense..........and for the guy who started this thread has to understand christ never believed in the tye 10% of income he said give what you can,but not money..all christ asked of us was to give spiritually to people show love!,not money?????.....therefore you missed the poiint of what the bible teach's......if someone is sad give thwem a hug,if someone is down lift them up,if someone is broke help them out,if someone is hungry give them a meal.....to be truth full christ spoke of charity outside of money,,,,,after all he thought money belonged to ceasar! ....I find most set out to put the bible to the true or not true test! but what they should be doing is putting it to the make sense test..if the teachings are good then they are good! what other point is there?
I do have to agree with part of this. According to the Bible, Jesus did not teach about giving money to a church, as a matter of fact, he was against a church/religion being formed around him. The church is in it for money, not to help people. Im not talking about all the priests and shit, because there are some priests who are really in it to help people, but the basis of the church itself is money. I mean, do you really need buildings worth millions of dollars to worship what you believe in? The Vatican is not only its own city, but it is its own country, and it is worth billions. As a show I was watching last night stated, "for ever dollar given to charity, 90 cents goes into someones pocket." The church is a great example of that. If instead of building million dollar churches and spending millions on sending satelites into space to spread their "truth", they could be spending that money on actually helping people that are in need. Christianity is the worlds largest money maker.Quote:

Those are the basics of the Christian church. The basiscs of the Bible are be good to one another and give to those less fortunate. Very few Christians are able to realize that.
Hail Thyself!
You are right!, in truth Jesus spoke against the very church system we see before us today,infact the begining of the Christian church's were in error just by becoming a church!.............Jesus spoke to the sameritan women by the well,she said to Jesus the jews worship in their temple and we samaritans worship in our holy place were do you say we are to worship ,,,Jesus said there will be a day when man will worship from his heart! other words this whole church thing is not what he spoke about,and just to take things a little further,in another scripture when Christ was asked how should we pray? jesus never said go to a temple or church!,infact he said go to a room or a place were you are alone and pray to the father ,jesus spoke about private prayer! he spoke about a one one relationship with God!,he also continued to speak about hypercrits in the "church's"(in his day temples)......I don't go to church I am a father of three girls and my wife and I praise the Lord at home!,I have no religion just a relationship with Christ,and for those who follow ministers,priest,pastors in the church's are probably lost simply because men lead men astray! even the scriptures state not one man is worthy,not one!...I am not against chuch's altogether after all they do alot of good,but alot of evil as well..............................So I feel sorry for those who don't believe because they had it rammed down their throats by some bible pusher!.....of course now alot of people will say I contradict myself because the old testament talks about public worship,tye(10%),temple worship, therefore I must be wrong? but the old testament isn't the issue the new testament is what really matters,after all Jesus came to correct the old testament,he came and made all things new!,he said I give unto you a new gospel,"his truth" other words out with the old and in with the new!,if you read and understood the scriptures of both bibles you will come to the conclusion Jesus spent most of his time correcting the teachings of the old testament,other words god set men out to do his job here on earth through the old testament but even the men of the old testament didn't get it,so he had to come and lay it all out in it's correct truth.....if you want something done right you have to do it yourself.........as for those who become christians because the fear gods wrath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is in error after all God has no wrath he is love! when the scriptures speak of fear the lord! it's not talking about fear his doom! what it means by fear is not having him,for example when I am positive in my life and feel great! and christ is with me in my heart it's the greatest thing ever!,but when I screw up and argue with someone or just generally have a un-godly day I feel sad in my heart and I long to get myself back up to the point I was before I fell from grace! therefore I fear the lord,because without that great blissful feeling I fear the moment,therefore I fear of not having him,..........it's nopt about his doom and gloom because there isn't any doom and gloom in his esence...he is love...Quote:

Appearently, no one missed me, but the Roman Catholic church still needed my cash.
