Paul And Tithing

[Squeaky]

This is an evidence that Paul was in constant trouble with some of his listeners about being an apostle. Not every one accepted him as an apostle. Hence the evidence that when he came from Damascus to Jerusalem to join the Apostles, perhaps to replace Judas who got lost and they said that Paul could not even be a disciple, let alone an apostle and Paul resented the rejection since he was an apostle to himself; self appointed one but still enough to put up his claim. (Acts 9:26)

I said
That's true Paul had his hecklers back then.

 

[Crucible]

Jesus didn't have a church roof, he preached on the mountains and in the streets, and by the sea, he didn't care about the temple, when his disciples said to him to look at the building, Jesus said why do you look at that, not one stone shall be left upon another, they shall all come down. Jesus taught in the temple, but he would have taught anywhere he wanted his own people to hear Gods word first, but they rejected him. And they tried to throw him out of the temple and kill him! The true temple is our body and those doing Gods will are living stones creating the house of God. Brick and mortar means nothing to God, and you're not serving God by plowing money into churches, you'd be better giving it to those in need, and helping the poor around you.

We work for our money, and do Gods work for free. We freely give as we have been freely given of God, and none of our people take anything for bringing Gods word to others.

So you don't agree with Paul, and his reasons for why churchmen should have wages.

Saves me the trouble of pointing out your error. Try reading the Bible sometime :wave2:

The disciples were only like that because they were afraid of him, because of what he was like before when he persecuted them. The apostles accepted Paul

Acts 9

When he came to Jerusalem,.he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus. So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord

Paul was absolutely an apostle, you just don't like him because he turned to Christ and spoke the truth against the Jewish leaders of that time who persecuted and murdered Jesus. God said thou shalt not kill Ben, and that included Jesus. They murdered the prince of peace, the Christ, the holy son of God, they slew him and hung him from a tree, putting him to an open shame, doing the works of their father the devil they crucified Gods beloved son.

The leaders of that time weren't righteous Jews Ben, they were malicious murderers white washed sepultures dead to God, who crucified the holy son of the living God! Jesus the Messiah.

I hope that they repented before they died.

Gods people aren't rewarded with money, their reward is the strength of the holy spirit coming with power.
