Please read Paul's posts on this. This has already been discussed. Paul has explained and provided extensive proof to rebutt.Originally posted by Kirk
The "Holy" Crusades, The Spanish Inquisition to be specific.
Granted, the Jehova's is a cult and should be treated as such. But what makes you think your translation is correct? Please elaborate.And on a broader scale, the religions (i'll finger point and say
Southern Baptists, Mormons, and Jehova's Witnesses) that say
"to earn passage to heaven you must go forth and witness".
Translation: Go get more people to join us, so they can pay their
tithings on Sunday.
I can't speak for other denominations or religions, but tilthing is not a Catholic practice. I have never heard of being asked to tilth. It is free choice donation.
BTW, have you checked out what evangelism means?
Human factor. I don't know what has to do with the teaching of Christianity. Jesus said you should accumulate treasure in heavan, not on earth. If the gold was accumulated and used to decorate the churches, what seems to be the problem?Where I live, in South Texas, and ALL of Mexico was occupied by
Spain, by order of the Pope to convert the "heathens" to
Catholicism. Mexico was RIPE with gold.
Good. Then why do you reject Jesus's teaching because somebody else said something wrong? So you agree that Jesus did not teach all the evil things and mistakes and what not?Jesus hung with THEM was the point I was trying to make. But
since you asked, no he didn't tell them that (as if you didn't know.
your patronizing attitude is just being ignored). But he also did
NOT tell them "you must go to church and put your money in the
plate, and turn your nose up to those that wear jeans in church,
or the man that's not freshly shaved, or the man that has a bit
of b.o. ", and so on.
