Sister Alamo-Girl. Good to see you post here, your opinions are always a pleasure to read.

THE CHURCH IS THE PEOPLE!

Stop screaming at me. Don’t you know Internet etiquette?

“older” Christian which I should have noted in my post at 376 has little to do with physical age.

Very true, dear sister.

Any good upstanding righteous Christian would never dream of NOT tithing. If it’s a REQUIREMENT for going to the celestial kingdom, that’s God’s call, not mine and not yours.

There is so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to begin.

There ARE NO GOOD UPSTANDING RIGHTEOUS CHRISTIANS! Yes, I'm yelling. Cover your ears but for heaven's sake, open your eyes sandy.

We are sinners. Sinneres, sinners, sinners. We are filthy in our sin. We can do NO good.

But for some wonderful, unfathomable reason, God gave us Jesus so He could bear to look upon our filthiness and call us His children.

Tithing is ridiculous. It all belongs to God! We have NOTHING!

There is no Celestial KIngdom. There is something much, much better, beyond our wildest dreams. Heaven. One heaven for all who believe. Where we can stop striving and finally be who we were meant to be and worship God forever with all our fellow believers. No tears, no pain, no "progressing".

LOL!

No wait, LOL!

[reaganaut]

Since I, as a born-again Christian and a student of the bible, KNOW that tithing is not a requirement, I would run away from any church that required, demanded or pressured its members into tithing.

Exactly. An emphasis on money is a sure sign of a legalistic church.

Almost sounds like Klingon...

A fictional alien race...

Hum...

Wonder if they battled any Nephites...

Or stopped by Kolob...

LOL

[ejonesie22]

Fair enough.

[Tennessee Nana]

At least you didnt throw water on me...

[ejonesie22]

Fair enough.

I find sticking to the truth makes things easy...

Very good sandy, you've been coached by a missionary I see.

Reg, take a look in that little missionary book you have. Over and over again it shows how LDS defer people away from pesky doctrine, like excluding blacks from the priesthood.

They are told to never discuss any particular doctrine with their "targets', but say exactly what Saundra just parroted, "If God says it must be so, I would never quation Him".

So, once you can get someone to pray that the book of Mormon is true, the rest is just shrugging your shoulders and saying, "oh well, no matter how this seems, the prophet says God demands it, so I'll do it."

The thinking has been done.

Kolob was a class M planet, if I remember right...

LOL!

The GODs Must Be Crazy

[Elsie]

Again I say: The Church is perfect; the people are not.

And you are still wrong.

[Saundra Duffy]

“God gave us Jesus so He could bear to look upon our filthiness and call us His children.”

We agree.

[Elsie]

A very cheap shot.

It's still accurate.
