Took the kids to see "Smallfoot" today. It's a new animated movie by Warner Animation Group.

Young kids probably won't pay attention to the message in the movie, but older kids/teens likely will.

Here's the synopsis: "Migo is a friendly Yeti whose world gets turned upside down when he discovers something that he didn't know existed -- a human. He soon faces banishment from his snowy home when the rest of the villagers refuse to believe his fantastic tale. Hoping to prove them wrong, Migo embarks on an epic journey to find the mysterious creature that can put him back in good graces with his simple community."

The Yeti are ruled by one named "Stonekeeper," who wears a chain of stones upon which are inscribed their laws. Their stones tell the story that the mountain on which they live is floating in the clouds.

"Migo" finds a human (Smallfoot) and tells the Yeti village about it. Stonekeeper chastises him for telling lies because the stones (the Yeti's belief system) says there are no Smallfoot. Migo challenges the stones, saying if one is found to be a lie, they may all be lies. Again, the stones are their belief system.

You can see where this is going.

Stonekeeper takes Migo into the mountain where he talks to him about their past and the stones, what's true and not true. One part of the song says, "let me share a secret that you'll learn as you grow older; what's true or not true is in the eye of the beholder."

In the end, the stones (the Yeti's beliefs) were proven to be built on lies ... but one's which were intended to protect them.

What about using Christian based media like pureflix?

We used to use Purex detergent but never checked out their media!

On a serious note while visiting a UPC relative who had either Pureflix or something similar the selection was pretty dismal and the one original program I watched (sort of a prime time soap opera about a media family) had some older actors familiar from tv roles when they were younger but it was shot on video and not even attempted to look like film so the production values were pretty bad. As well as the script.

Before streaming was around and when my kids were young I used to buy DVD's from a Christian subscription service. I think it was actually Mormon owned but they didn't really reveal that as they were reaching into the Christian market with clean Hollywood produced material and some good original films of their own.

My son was a child actor and when acting in a film the mother of the young star of the movie told us her son had acted in one of their films and she didn't find out until production was underway that it was Mormon's producing it.

The Mormon produced children's films I saw were great. Very well done and not one bit of Mormon doctrine in them I could see.

They were great because despite their great doctrinal errors Mormons share Christian values and emphasize them greatly. That is one of the reasons I fully supported Mitt Romney for President. I think he is probably one of the most upstanding and honest men who has ever run for National office in our country.

Everything was great until you mentioned O'Romneybama.

Where have you been EB. I’ve been missing you. I thought maybe you were MIA kinda like Bro. Epley when I quoted scripture about the singers receiving tithes.

Could someone perform a welfare check on Bro. Epley? I hope he’s doing well. Maybe he’s looking for scripture that says the pastor is entitled to the tithe. If so he may be gone awhile. He’s already quoted all of the scripture that says a preacher or pastor is entitled to tithing. The total number in the Bible is zero. I think he knows that.

Or . . . He could prove me wrong and quote some scripture saying that the pastor is entitled to tithes. That would really clear things up.

So far I haven’t heard from Bro. Epley. Maybe the crickets are drowning him out.

What do you mean where I've been? You are the Ecclesiastical Beetlejuice who one only needs to say tithing in a post and you appear. Actually the New Testament speaks of 100% not just 10. You are to share all with those who teach you Galatians 6:6 . In 1 Corinthians 9:13 we have the Levitical Aaronic priesthood altar where we are told to take care of the ministry. You already posted in times pasts that you believe in ministerial support so I still haven't the foggiest idea why you still bare this tithe cross. Either you give them enough to buy an ice cream cone, or a house, that is on you Mark 12:43, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, 2 Corinthians 8:12, 2 Corinthians 8:19, 2 Corinthians 9:7, Exodus 25:2, and Deuteronomy 16:10. Clearly you are one dimensional and if we took all your postings together we still would tithe, or just give offerings. As for Elder Epley my opinion is that he doesn't feel the need to get into a hair pulling contest with you over an issue that has been thoroughly discussed. Make sense?

I'm going to respond to some of your points.

Actually the New Testament speaks of 100% not just 10.

This is true. The NT SPEAKS of 100% and not just 10%. Allow me to explain to you (as though you don't already know) why this is not the same as a commandment to give 100%.

The Bible speaks of Abraham fathering a child with Hagar, the handmaiden of Sarah, but we should not believe that we are to do the same, right? I know it's not the same thing, but both are spoken of in the Bible is my point.

The NT speaks of they that had houses and lands selling them and laying the money at the feet of the apostles. In the story of Ananias and Sapphira, Peter was clear that the property was theirs, and after they sold it, the money was theirs. The problem is that they LIED about the sum that the property brought.

And the money was NOT only for the ministry. It was for every man that had need.



You are to share all with those who teach you Galatians 6:6 . In 1 Corinthians 9:13 we have the Levitical Aaronic priesthood altar where we are told to take care of the ministry.

There you go again quoting scripture, in context. This is true. You are telling the truth. We are to provide for the ministry. What it does NOT say is that we are to tithe. Do you see the difference?

Bro. Epley referred to this chapter as having referenced the tithing chamber. It does not mention the tithing chamber. I called him on it. He chose not to have a dialogue with me if he can't make it up as he goes. That is his choice, but it was my choice to hold him accountable to the integrity of the Word.



You already posted in times pasts that you believe in ministerial support so I still haven't the foggiest idea why you still bare this tithe cross.

Tithing has a definition. God defined tithing. Some men do not like God's definition. They don't like it when I point out (using scripture, by the way) that God's definition of tithe is different from theirs.



Either you give them enough to buy an ice cream cone, or a house, that is on you Mark 12:43, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, 2 Corinthians 8:12, 2 Corinthians 8:19, 2 Corinthians 9:7, Exodus 25:2, and Deuteronomy 16:10. Clearly you are one dimensional and if we took all your postings together we still would tithe, or just give offerings.

I agree with this. What we give is totally up to us. The problem is that we are constantly being threatened (extorted) at the risk of our very soul, that it is NOT up to us. It is up to them. And if Bro. Epley teaches that the tithe is ten percent of our money. That is false doctrine. It seems to me that you are implying that the truth does not matter. The truth is crucial. Ask Ananias and Sapphira.



As for Elder Epley my opinion is that he doesn't feel the need to get into a hair pulling contest with you over an issue that has been thoroughly discussed. Make sense?

As for Elder Epley, my opinion is that he knows that the scripture will not be kind to his position. It must be unsettling to have a position that you are afraid to even attempt to defend with scripture, because you know it just ain't happening.

Just to recap. It is all about truth vs. lies. Liars are not going to heaven, according to God's word.

If you are preaching to drunkards, do you preach about adultery, because you are afraid to preach about drunkeness, lest you offend them?

I'm preaching to liars, and they that feel compelled to add to the scripture, because it just doesn't quite say what they wish it did.

Deut.4
[2] Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Deut.12
[32] What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

A pastor pretending that God instructed us to tithe money, is adding to the words of God. The Bible prohibits him from doing so. Bro. Epley should appreciate me pointing this out to him. If he does, he has so far not expressed his appreciation.

Prov.17
[10] A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

I'm going to respond to some of your points.

You should of stuck to lurking. Because you have some fetish about 10 percent of money being given. How about 5 percent? 20 percent? If someone wants to give an offering of 15% and calls it a tithe will they go to hell? No, because NO WHERE in the New Testament does it WARN us that a person cannot call their offering a tithe. 1st Corinthians 9:15 speaks about the Levite's altar supply, someone believes that they are to give a dozen eggs or 20.000 dollars to their minister, then you need to show us where that is prohibited. You see, you don't make sense, you moan about tithing that the ministers of today are practicing some Levitical ritual. When in fact they are admonished to preach for free, and that the students are to support their teachers. Like when you borrow money you are admonished to pay it back, but the brother who lends it is expected NEVER to see the money again. That is the system, that is how it works. No one is to ever ask for any offering, but the student, saint, disciple is supposed to give as he has, to give. Whether it is 10% or what ever else he feels free to give. Emphasis on freely.



This is true. The NT SPEAKS of 100% and not just 10%. Allow me to explain to you (as though you don't already know) why this is not the same as a commandment to give 100%.

The Bible speaks of Abraham fathering a child with Hagar, the handmaiden of Sarah, but we should not believe that we are to do the same, right? I know it's not the same thing, but both are spoken of in the Bible is my point.

That was a desperate attempt.

Abraham was instructed by his wife to father a child through her slave girl. Later Sarah accues Abraham for making the error because he was stupid enough to listen to her. For us to do the same we would first have to have God tells us that we are supposed to father a child while we are extremely old, and our spouse extremely old. Meaning we would need the same circumstance. Not only that, but we would also need instruction from Apostles in the New Testament concerning centenarians having MALE offspring to further their line. Also the New Testament tells us that physical family lineage is no longer important or needed. This isn't the case with ministerial and church family support. The New Testament instructs us on how to support the ministry and our church family.



The NT speaks of they that had houses and lands selling them and laying the money at the feet of the apostles.

Emphasis on the apostles, and placed at their feet. Meaning the apostles was in charge of that money and how it would be used. Period.



In the story of Ananias and Sapphira, Peter was clear that the property was theirs, and after they sold it, the money was theirs. The problem is that they LIED about the sum that the property brought.

Liying was the cause of their deaths. What they were lying about was how the whole issue came to a head. All these people were under verbal contract. Get it? No one all of a sudden got all happy and started to liquidate assets to give the apostles a healthy new start. No, the church family in Jerusalem had previously agreed to liquidate all assets of their OWN PERSONAL WEALTH. Then give that PERSONAL WEALTH over to a leadership group called Apostles. Where the couple went wrong is that they held back a portion of THEIR OWN PERSONAL WEALTH. You already pointed this out, but where you fail is that you aren't taking into account that these people are not fulling the entire contract. They could of kept back part of the price, all the needed to do was tell the APOSTLES this when they made their verbal contract. That is exactly what Peter is telling them.




And the money was NOT only for the ministry. It was for every man that had need.

Again, it is to stress their FEET.

You miss this clue, because you obviously don't understand what it means to ancient people. Laying anything at the feet of another made what you laid there totally theirs. It was NO LONGER YOUR'S. Therefore the Apostles were the administrators of said assets which were relinquished over to them. It was up to this leadership to decide what would happen to the assets after it was laid at THEIR FEET. Remember, Peter was all good about going back to his secular work. When he is told to drag their enormous catch to Jesus on the shore. Jesus asks Peter three times if Peter loves Jesus more than the huge future profits he would make off of such a catch. Love me more than these? Feed my sheep. Peter was first called 3 1/2 years prior to quit secular work and start fishing for men. Yet, after the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, and seeing Jesus twice already. Peter still decides to go back to secular business instead of Jesus' business. Peter and the rest of the apostles were now to start working in the business that Jesus chose for them. They all were to take what they needed, and leave the rest to support a growing church family.





There you go again quoting scripture, in context. This is true. You are telling the truth. We are to provide for the ministry. What it does NOT say is that we are to tithe. Do you see the difference?

No, I don't see the difference. Because it isn't a Levitical tithe but a Christian offering of all I have. It is the entire Torah thoughts on giving which is opened up on the New Testament ministry. Where they are to be fishing, leading the flock, fighting the wars, but being supplied by the vineyard while they work that vineyard 1 Corinthians 9:7. They are all admonished that they are to be soldiers not entangling themselves with secular life, but working for Jesus Christ 2 Timothy 2:4. Tithemuncher I so believe that you strain at a gnat to swallow a camel. Whether they give whatever percent, is totally up to them. if they want to call it a tithe, then we know what they mean. We also have NO PROHIBITION against us using the percentage or the title



Bro. Epley referred to this chapter as having referenced the tithing chamber. It does not mention the tithing chamber. I called him on it.

You and I hold NO ONE HERE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANYTHING.

This is a forum on the Internet.

Your choice is to be a pain in the rear end, and chase a guy all over a thread. It is my choice to tell you to shut up and move on. Got it? I think it is pretty funny you pontificating for accountability to the integrity of the Word. When you don't even do that in your own home church. They take tithes and offerings at your church. So, guess what? Sweep around your own front door, be the burr under their saddle. Then we you get them all on page. Then come back and tell me. Good grief.



Tithing has a definition. God defined tithing. Some men do not like God's definition.

The Levites had NOTHING. The Apostles gave up their secular work. Both groups were to be taken care of by the people. You read a few books and websites about the No Tithe issue. That's all, and now instead of you teaching about support of the ministry and church family. You go around with old arguments and feel important.



They don't like it when I point out (using scripture, by the way) that God's definition of tithe is different from theirs.

Well, La Dee Da, look at you. More like you don't like it when you are ignored, (thank you Elder Epley you made the right choice) or when you get it handed back into your teeth.






I agree with this. What we give is totally up to us.

The problem is that we are constantly being threatened (extorted) at the risk of our very soul, that it is NOT up to us. It is up to them.

What? So, this is some emotional problem which motivates you? No problem bro, there is NO problem. Can you dig any of that? You just said you agreed with what I posted, then you flip flop? Who is the WE? I'm not being threatened. In fact I have NEVER been threatened to give. Doctrine built from offenses is garbage. Because we all sit through the Bible study and somewhere during the study we have to swim through snot and tears. I didn't do anything wrong? My elders didn't do what you said happened to you. Forget that we stuff. Even if you found a wounded herd to follow you with flailing whips, walking barefoot on carpet tacks, that doesn't prove what is truth. That just proves that you had a lousy experience, but it wasn't my experience. Also my next bit of advise to you and your kind who base their doctrine over the slight of men, get over it and yourself. Because we who haven't been burned with lit cigarettes by our pastors can't feel your pain. You need to take it all and lay it at the FEET OF JESUS!!!!!!




And if Bro. Epley teaches that the tithe is ten percent of our money. That is false doctrine.

No, that is your opinion. But me posting that just turns on your Anti Tithe PTSD. So, seriously, get over it, You call it offering, they call it tithing. You say it is false doctrine, but then if we really held your feet to the fire we would find some humdingers you believe that are a false as a rubber chicken.

You know what, I have someone who gives 3 percent and they call it tithe. Got it? It isn't that they are bad in math, or fractions. It is what they call an offering. Hey, Tithemonster, you have camel feet sticking out your mouth!!!! :laffatu




It seems to me that you are implying that the truth does not matter. The truth is crucial. Ask Ananias and Sapphira.

Truth is crucial, but you are too focused on the bug on the leaf to be effective. Seriously, bro, I'm not biting your arguments are old, and you absolutely miss the whole forest. Elder Epley, knows this as well, and therefore chose to put you on the pay no mind list.




As for Elder Epley, my opinion is that he knows that the scripture will not be kind to his position. It must be unsettling to have a position that you are afraid to even attempt to defend with scripture, because you know it just ain't happening.

You see, this is what gets you and I in a bad way. Re read what you just posted above. Your opinion is that Elder Epley knows your right? Then you say he is afraid of you? You see this is why I ask for age. Because what kind of junk is that? You start out this post with you are going to answer some of my points. So do that, but don't go after my friend to me, and talk stupid, like it will gain you converts. You attend a church which takes tithes and offerings, then dude, go clean them up. Talk junk to them.




Just to recap. It is all about truth vs. lies. Liars are not going to heaven, according to God's word.

Neither are religious jerks.

Good God in Zion!

No, that is your opinion. But me posting that just turns on your Anti Tithe PTSD. So, seriously, get over it, You call it offering, they call it tithing. You say it is false doctrine, but then if we really held your feet to the fire we would find some humdingers you believe that are a false as a rubber chicken.

You know what, I have someone who gives 3 percent and they call it tithe. Got it? It isn't that they are bad in math, or fractions. It is what they call an offering. Hey, Tithemonster, you have camel feet sticking out your mouth!!!! :laffatu




Truth is crucial, but you are too focused on the bug on the leaf to be effective. Seriously, bro, I'm not biting your arguments are old, and you absolutely miss the whole forest. Elder Epley, knows this as well, and therefore chose to put you on the pay no mind list.




You see, this is what gets you and I in a bad way. Re read what you just posted above. Your opinion is that Elder Epley knows your right? Then you say he is afraid of you? You see this is why I ask for age. Because what kind of junk is that? You start out this post with you are going to answer some of my points. So do that, but don't go after my friend to me, and talk stupid, like it will gain you converts. You attend a church which takes tithes and offerings, then dude, go clean them up. Talk junk to them.




Neither are religious jerks.

Good God in Zion!

So, one more time EB. Is the tithe doctrine that the tithe is one tenth of our income scriptural?

Because I’m pretty sure I can dig up your posts where you admitted that it is not.

Sounds to me like your talking from both sides of your mouth. Take your medicine. You’ll be better in the morning.

Would you not hijack this thread, please. Take your complaints about tithing to your own thread.
