You are telling more lies. I learned from the Bible. I know you would like to believe otherwise because it would make you feel better. Don’t let it be so important to you that you lie on me. Liars aren’t going to the good place. They’re going to the fire place.

Yes, God allowed covid to wreck the churches. They will never be the same now. No laying on of hands now. No talking in their ear at the altar. God wants to reset the Church, so they will not have power until they are doctrinally pure. God can make this go away tonight if these pastors will fix things, but God will not accept the status quo anymore. Our church tried it and the whole place is infected now. We are stopped in our tracks with pastors in the hospital.

This can easily happen again...17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

I have an aunt who said I got covid because I wasn’t praying enough. And her lost children? Covid free.

She later stated that I got covid because I came against her in a family meeting. She ran to her room crying and she prayed. Then was comforted because she knew God would take care of us- everyone in the sit-in.

I’m just God’s beating post for the sins of tithe receiving pastors, not praying enough, and my aunts Christian witchcraft.

You probably have a ringtone that says "tithing is unscriptural."

Or is it "I'm the apostle to the pastor!"

It's ecclesiastically insane. But they don't care. They don't care about the big picture. What happens when nieve neophytes hear and follow the goofball stupidity that these people spout. Sister Bitty Jean, telling a couple that their teenage son died on his motorcycle because he left the church? It's not that she didn't think, or consider their feelings in a time of loss. She didn't care about the long term. She was elated to give forth her thoughts. Because after all its all about them. The minute the ideas pop in their brains, they can't wait until the words roll off their tongue. You got COVID because you came against a person? That's just not you, that everyone I can think of at some time had to endure such stupid nonsense, from the local "prophet" or "prophetess" My youngest daughter was a week old, and I got a phone call on a night I was supposed to preach. It was a old brother who is a friend of mine. Who told me that my newly born daughter was going to die because of what I believe concerning eschatology. I said, ok, let's pray. He was startled, so I asked him again. Let's pray. You see, most of the time, they want to drop the bomb in your lap. They want to stick in the knife on how God has it personally out for you. But, they rarely ever give out solutions.

Yes or no question.

Let's see how you do
The first mention of tithing in this thread was made by none other than EB. Followed closely by Nicodemus, who disagrees that I have a tithing problem. He instead diagnosed me with an authority problem. Now while EB and Nicodemus may disagree with my “problem” they can certainly get around their differences.
Because they believe in the “enemies enemy is my friend” thing.

Follower means imitating.

Paul then goes on to talk about headship, yet he wrote to the Corinthian church imitate me, as I imitate Christ.

Your vitriol isn’t about tithes or about Pastors it’s about authority.

If you need to admit something tell it to whatever god you pray to.

Then EB takes another turn.

As effective as a Buddhist



She doesn't view you as a Christian. But let me leave it as that.



Mike is nuts, you might want to start competing with him for lunacy?

Tithemonster, I always knew your anti tithe vitriol was due to a pastor problem you have. That's nothing knew, but it's nice to see you get it all out in the open. So, what about church government, yes, no, is it supposed to be supported? Yes, maybe, never? For someone who knows what the problems seem to be you never give out any solutions.

I said that you were the first to bring up tithing IN THIS THREAD. I told the truth. Your first mention of the tithe was post 27. Twenty three posts later in #50 I responded with this.

“Thank God I don’t have tithe problems. And thank God I don’t have pastor problems either. I am blessed beyond measure in those departments. And just for the record, you are the one bringing up tithes. Why do you always do that? Do you have issues?”

It really seems that you are obsessed with the tithing issue brother. Maybe you should see a shrink.

I recommend that you repent. It beats the shrink thing every time.
