Why people go to church?
-
Your parents give u a roof over your head, paid for your education. so when u give them monthly allowance, u're repaying them?
I am giving them because chinese practise filial piety. Furthermore they did give me a shelter and a roof over my head as well as an education. Wat has the church physically do for u with the money ? -
scripture also says that Jesus is the way and the truth? do u subscibe to that?
I don't see the link between tis and tilthing.
There r really many pastors around tat use the verse of "treasures" in heaven to encourage people to tilth. DO u disagree with tis statement ? -
Its nice to be playful, but after sometimes, it gets stupid.

Your first statement answers the question.Originally posted by stupidissmart:I am giving them because chinese practise filial piety. Furthermore they did give me a shelter and a roof over my head as well as an education. Wat has the church physically do for u with the money ?
The church incalcated my spiritual upbringing -
ur first sentence, i am rebutting the way u rebutt. choosing to disagree is a real easy way of debating. not much brain work is needed. throwing back questions with questions, anyone can do thatOriginally posted by stupidissmart:I don't see the link between tis and tilthing.

regards to the 2nd question, i have no comment. the Catholic church doesn't ask for funds in such a manner -
What?? No one commenting on God being intangible? No one commenting that joining a church is required to accept Christ?Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:The first of course is the nonsensical Sinner's Prayer.
Second, is the damn fellowship of joining a bloody church.
The third is repentance and acceptance of Christ as my bloody saviour as he is never going to appear.
The fourth is having faith in something that is intangible. -
Oh sorry i am suppose to comment on your statements ya ? Paiseh ah....rather busy at work.Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:What?? No one commenting on God being intangible? No one commenting that joining a church is required to accept Christ?
Oh actually i wanted to ask more questions...because your answers to my earlier question not quite clear.
I wanted to ask if that is how you open your heart (with lots of swearing) to Someone (no matter how intangible) you have prepared to pledge loyalty to ? Or do you really know what is happening when you said the sinner's prayer ?
Is it because in the past a certain friend promised you something in return for saying the sinner's prayer and then something bad happened ? Can share further ? We can PM each other if you not comfortable to post here in the open. =)
