What are offerings? Another word for Tithe?

@ Studious One How is a Church supported then?

The fella's over at Above Top Secret have debunked this. The video was created by a well known hoax artist...both of them. Sorry guys. Though watching it for the first time did give me the goose bumps.

It sounds like you and I have the same experience. My calling lead me to seminary after 3+ years of independent study. I simply cannot get enough. I helped start an apologetics blog in an effort to get the word to my friends. I completely understand. I will say this...If you feel the call...

Tigers, I can absolutely relate. I went to church at my wifes church for a few months. I volunteered to be part of worship, and did a number of things. All of a sudden I stopped. Not sure about the reason why. I just woke up one Sunday and stopped. From that point on I was embarrassed to...
