    That's why I questioned him in post #72. Which he has not responded to.

    Good thing I quoted him so the post is still here as proof of what he said.

      starting to think he is just here to troll by accusing Christians and posing as a fundamental word of faith pharisee.

      If he is not a troll, then he is acting like Satan, who goes around accusing the brethren.

          If I would have argued that, you'd have a point, but I didn't. Perhaps you should try reading what your opponents say vs making up what they say.

            There are four types of giving in the Bible:

            1. Tithe – Motivation is Obedience.

            2. First Fruits – Motivation is Generosity.

            3. Alms Giving – Motivation is Compassion.

            4. Seed Giving – Motivation is Faith and Reward.

                Because there were 12 people and they pooled their money to share. That doesn't make him rich you idiot. Do you think there are only two states of financial being? Dead Poor and Super Rich?

                By the way, there was no gold brick on my porch last night. I guess your faith wasn't strong enough. Or you don't want me to believe your claims about God because you hate me.

                I will give you a second chance. Ask God to give me a gold brick on my porch tonight. It can be a small one if a big one is too hard. I will donated it entirely to a local Christian orphanage, so you don't have to worry about me being greedy. Heck if you are worried about that, just ask God to put a picture of a gold brick on my door when I get home this evening.

                    No He didn't. He had a Disciple that "kept the purse". It didn't mean Judas was a treasurer. It meant that he was the one who held on to whatever money they were given to support their ministry.

                      I wonder why Jesus commended the widow for giving her last alm, instead of condemning her for not praying to be rich so she could give more?

                          you are not replying to what Catholicity was saying Mr. Kott you were replying to what you wanted her to have said said. Much like you do to Jesus's words, or your teachers do Mr. Kott stop listening to those that tickle you ears with what you want to hear( who wouldn't want to be rich and healthy all the time) listen to sound doctrine don't' be like those Paul warned Timothy of who turn away to FABLES of mans making.

                          2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
                          2Ti 4:4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.[/U][/I][
                          2Ti 4:5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.


                          So why don't you answer mossrose's questions if what you are saying is the Truth and not a fable.

                          1. So, Do you have lots of money? Can you buy the designer stuff?

                          2. If you answer no, then why not? Faith not strong enough?

                          3. Have you ever had a cold? The flu? Ever had your eyes examined? Do you wear glasses or contact lens? Have you ever seen a doctor for anything?

                          4. If you answer yes, then why? Is your faith not strong enough?


                          You should have no fear telling us the truth if your faith is strong enough because you would be able to truthfully answer no to question 1 and 3 if you have to answer yes then you have 2 choices if you want to continue believing the man made fable you have accepted. Either admit your faith is not strong enough, or accuse God of not keeping his supposed promises and if that is so ask yourself why you still follow a god who does not keep his promises.

                          Or you can walk away from the man made lying fable of a weak god who makes promises he can't keep, because your lack of faith stops him from keeping them, and walk with the TRUE God who keeps The promises he truly makes. just as Catholicity and others have been telling you to do.

                            Cause she was planting that seed. She was claiming that word for her lihf-uh. She was speaking to that mountain saying "be ye re...moved!"

                                That.... 1000 times that. The Lord Sustains me. And I still trust Him to Sustain me. No matter how much Mr. Kott wishes to twist whatever words I've said thus far. His misunderstandings really aren't my problem anyway, except I'll pray for you Mr. Kott to be lead to the truth, and away from this heretical belief you hold to. This emotional/shallow thinking you keep attempting to antagonize us with really is a foundation of sand, and when it crumbles there will be nothing left to believe in.
