Your tithes were already paid.

It is not like the "truthbearers" of our oneness movement, to make doctrines up.

We are expected to be a shining light on a hill.

Well, this light is really a blacklight that shines dimly, with this false doctrine at the forefront.

Our preachers are more concerned of money than souls.

I interviewed a local UPC pastor at lunch and asked him, "would you rather that Jesus have 100 souls in your church that pay 5% or 50 souls in your church that pay 10%?"

He chose the 50 souls.

Let me ask you the same question, Pliny.....

"would you rather that Jesus have 100 souls in your church that pay 5% or 50 souls in your church that pay 10%?"

I would like you to pick which one please...

Thank you.

Sean I have been respectful to you. I really wish you would return the respect. I have given NT scriptures before BTW.
I suppose by "truthbearers" you are being sarcastic? Means nothing to me.

The black light that shines dimly with false doctrine is again insulting. I understand that you disagree but that does not mean you have to be ugly and disagreeable.

I am a Oneness preacher so I guess you are accusing me of loving money more than souls. I guess that is why I have never taken a salary from the church and work a full time job to support my family.

I really don't care about anecdotal testimonies. No offense intended. it's just anecdotal evidence does not mean much within scholarly research.

As to your question I don;t care if a thousand come and do not pay tithes. That's none of my business. My responsibility is to teach and preach. So your question is irrelevant as far as I can see.
