    Do we have to tithe to the church?

    I don't believe we need to tithe to well off churches but give where the need is. Missionaries are usually strapped for cash to buy supplies, youth programs, known people in the community who are in financial straits. I like the idea of giving to the Gideons. They use 100% of the gift to...

    Tattooing?

    Not going to debate this but as I already said....OT law for NT saints doesn't work..I am not under law but under grace. Please leave OT law where it belongs, in history. My opinion stands as is. My tats are beautiful creations and my future tats will be too. I just wish I had a Christian tat...

    Tattooing?

    Tattooing is in reality painting the body, therefore making it more beautiful. In tattooing, the flesh is not cut, just pricked by needles. Your friend should indeed consider being a Christian tattoo artist, with religious designs and paintings. Many Christians would love to have a tat but...

    When was the last time you sinned?

    We sin every day, weather we realize it or not. Romans 6:14 says that sin has no dominion over us. We are saved from the power of sin on a daily basis. We can say NO! When we accepted Jesus as our Saviour, we were saved from the penalty of our sins; past, present, future! We are saved...

    I am trying to be a Pastor of a Baptist church, and have a problem with a doctrine

    "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance, seeing they...

    I am trying to be a Pastor of a Baptist church, and have a problem with a doctrine

    "Being confident of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" Phillippians 1:6 Be confident (assured, positive) of this very thing.... That he (who? answer God) who hath begun a good work in you (when you received Christ as...

    I "Slept" With My Best Guy Friend... Verses?

    You don't throw away friends and call them idiots just because of mistakes. If we did, we'd be alone forever. Silly advice! What kind of witness to him would that be? "Appearence of evil"? Paul said that we sin daily! He also said he is saved daily! Mistakes were made, however...

    Shocking

    I read through the thread and I'm still wondering why anybody would be shocked. (or even surprised) The Bible states that "as in the days of Noah".... As we tred through time, anybody who has studied prophecy should NEVER be shocked or surprised by the events that transpire in this world...

    Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

    I haven't read the entire thread but to answer the question: Here goes.... I was "born" into a Christian home. Mother & father attended the Salvation Army in New York City where we grew up. If the church was open, we were there. The only time we didn't have to go was if we were in hospital or...

    I "Slept" With My Best Guy Friend... Verses?

    Although some may think that this "appears" to be evil, and we are warned to refrain from such situations, no real sin was committed. If this knowledge is just between the two of you (and perhaps his parents), nobody else needs to know about it. He also needs to be aware of the implications if...

    By posting only the reference it makes others look it up and read it for themselves....worked too!

    Why Can't Baptists Dance? Are They Allowed to Go to Dances?

    Perhaps they haven't the right beat?

    What Bible do you use?

    I only use the Scofields Reference King James Bible. None other compares as well for me.

    Tattooing?

    Ah yes.....Leviticus has words to say..... The LAW! I AM NOT UNDER LAW BUT UNDER GRACE! I am 53 and I waited until I was 50 before I got my first tattoo (a dragon). Much thought went into it as did my second (roses for my wife and hearts for my children). I'm getting another two very...
