"I agree. It is time to speak out. Tithing has become a fundraiser like indulgences were in the days of Martin Luther." http://www.tekoapublishing.com/books/tithing/index.html
"Historians usually agree that, not until A.D. 567, five hundred and thirty seven (537) years after Calvary, did the Church’s first substantial attempt to enforce tithing under its own authority appear in history! The Council of Tours in 567 and the Council of Macon in 585 enacted regional church decrees for tithing and excommunication of non-tithers, but did not receive authority from the king to enforce collection through civil decrees. It is significant that tithing did not emerge historically until the church became powerful in the secular realm. Eventually, the Roman Church even refused to administer last rites if it was not given wealth or land in wills."

Christmas is supposed to be the celebration of the birth of Christ, assuming He was born on or around the 25th of December, but we don't hear much of that and hear a lot about Santa Claus, and further about gifts. Do you think it's Satan's work?

Non-believers If you were given the chance & they listened with an open mind what is one thing you think is most important for them to know? this can be anything but only one item

Also if you believers had the chance what is one thing you would want us to believe, I already know the answer you will probably all give.So please some variety would be nice

and remember this is obviously a hypothetical question, so there is no point in being a jack a**

if he is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent? Emotions are reactionary, how can God react to us if he is all-knowing and has a divine plan?

what is wrong with you religeous people why dont you get a life wkae up and realise that god does not exist

2006-12-27 10:25:59 · 41 answers · asked by Anonymous

I dont understand why so many people argue that age old question of the existance of God years ago and years to come people are going are not going to believe in God some will believe in various gods, I know that there are many relgions that go out and offer there view point on life after death or the maker of creation if you dont what to hear simply say no thanks and go along your merry way. But so many people try to disprove the existance of God while others defend it, people are subborn and are going to believe what they believe but instead we have wars and hatered for one anoughter, are we so closed minded that we die over a question? do you believe in God?
