You'll see. Yes, tithing is misconstrued.<br /><br />Which things are you not sure of?? The being slain in the spirit part, the speaking in tongues part? Name it and claim it? I can reference scripture, and if your hubby can tell me if I'm understanding the KJV correctly or not, I would appreciate it. I do NOT want to be in error.<br /><br />I do believe that Jesus gave us the power to lay hands on the sick and see them recover. Wait let me re-phrase that, NOT US, but HIM doing it through us, through our Faith in Him.Ex-pat Odessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657864512970771221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066055269353045964.post-4684666143466732792009-12-12T22:31:40.924+02:002009-12-12T22:31:40.924+02:00jenni! i see you! why don't you start a blog, ...jenni! i see you! why don't you start a blog, too?!?! :) <br /><br />odessa, totally understand! i'm sick of it too. a lot of it. not as sick as my hubby, though. he is SOOO sick of it. mainly, he's more disgusted than i am b/c he sees more of it than i am. there are so many things that he has learned from learning to read the bible in the original hebrew. for example, you are probably the only person i could tell this to w/o totally thinking i'm nuts, but tithing does not exactly go the way we've been taught in the church!! also the scripture that says "do not take the lord's name in vain" - it doesn't mean, "don't say oh my god." it means "don't lift up God's name on a falsehood" - that's what it literally means. Basically meaning, don't lift up God's name on something false/worthless. i'm not saying it right, but most of those guilty of using God's name in vain ARE pastors - those who have used his name to support their OWN doctrines/interpretations of scripture. <br /><br />It is crazy what you learn when you read scripture in the original language.<br /><br />ANYWAY... we are supposed to judge in the way you said & I agree w/ you about some of those you mentioned. But not sure about other ones. And not sure about some of the things you mentioned. BUT... overall i agree w/ what you're saying. i want to go to church- b/c i want to be in a body of believers. but i haven't been to church in months b/c i'm so sick of some of the bs. (and my church is awesome! but it's there as well as everywhere!)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815407660365883762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066055269353045964.post-70866320928494802942009-12-12T21:43:57.174+02:002009-12-12T21:43:57.174+02:00amen, queen odessa. amen.
