Yes my brother, they are willing to take this doctrine into eternity with them, no matter how much suffering to saints and sinners it caused.

I would love to read the exhaustive response, but I have gotten suddenly tired of wading through PAGES of certain persons' one liners, quips, ad hominem attacks, character assassinations, etc to bother looking for it.

It's like a few people trying to have a serious, adult conversation in the middle of Romper Room, on hyperdrive, with all the kiddoes on meth instead of Ritalin, and the parents all out to lunch on permanent vacation.

Sorry, bro.

Would you like a little cheese with your whine?

It's kind of funny. I usually have you on ignore, so I wasn't even talking about you at all... yet I guess it's true, throw a rock into a pack of dogs and the one who yelps ... and all that.

I'm outta here. Have fun, guys.

2. Jesus and/or his apostles taught that Christians under the new covenant were to continue doing this, except it was to go to their local elder/pastor/bishop/church treasury.

I would think it would be a simple matter to lay it out. The fact nobody is willing to do that, but instead want to attack the character of those who lay out from the scripture the opposite view, or want to insinuate or claim that those who don't agree with the modern 'tithe' doctrine (so called) must be greedy, stingy, God-robbers, etc etc, indicates that the modern tithe teachers cannot support their doctrine with 'thus sayeth the Lord', from the Scriptures.

Remember, simply posting a verse or two that mentions 'tithing' does not prove the case, because the issue under discussion is 'what exactly IS the tithe commanded in Scripture?'

Baptists will sponsor debates on biblical inerrancy and inspiration, Calvinism, eschatology and tongues, but will not go near tithing.

Well there needs to be alternatives for people to assemble. There are a lot of homeless saints.

I attend a church of mostly older saints. Very nice building and grounds. Not very many people left. I don't see how it can sustain itself much longer.
