how many times?
How many times a week/ month do you have to go to church to be a "real believer" as an ex fireman, and now helping to feed the world with a farm and ranch. (Med.sized to anyone that knows 2000ac.) I believe in the good Lord to guide and protect me and my family!!! Do I get to be at church as much as the 9-5 ers no!! I am usually in a tractor or Dr. Calfs !! But with that said he test people, with protection of said man's family, he put them wackos here to test your true faith!! Me I am going to fight to protect mine and not relie on anyone else!!
I May die doing it but we should all be ready to die for our sins when it's your time!!! |

I don't think you have to go at all. God is in your heart and your farm. How could one be closer to God than by working his soil and spreading his bounty? God lives in you and the dirt you till. It is his creation to bring life to and sustain man. From the crops that crow to the animals that forage God made the dirt for us. Tending God's soil is faith in God.

going to "church" is an invention of the church so you gather in one place and they use it as a tool to collect donations which "like it or not" often go to the church as a source of revenue. so all im saying is the church tells you you have to go to church so they can raise money from you, not because its required by the bible.
as long as you pray to god and thank god for the good things in your life, then you are good, you don't need to do it in a certain building on a certain day each week. I stopped going to church many years ago when they started telling people to stay home if they couldn't dress better to come to church. it was about wearing tee shorts and short pants of dirty work clothes to church. well that's completely against gods will, yet they chose to say and do this, then they started making rules you cant get married without going through a 6-8 month "course" to get approval to be married. maybe that was a good thing but its not "gods" teachings to do that so I stopped going to a place that was making up its own rules that were contrary to gods teachings. I never stopped praying to god and in fact I pray to god a lot more now that I don't go to church then I ever did sleeping through church every week. |

You should try to go to church as often as possible. It helps you learn more about god and in a good church you form a solid group of believers that hold each other accountable and help each other stay on track. When a sheep is led away from the pack, it is easily devoured. And satan uses this mindset that I can worship...on the water, on the deer stand,_insert place of hobby_...as a tool to get ahold of you and slowly change you. Before you know it, worshipping at the church regularly becomes a thing of the last and your living like the world. Can you worship at any of these places? Absolutely!!! But are you is the question, or are you putting your hobbies before god? And the bible teaches about tithing among many other things so the "church" is not a made up thing to create revenue

A real church never hires a contractor to build anything thing new, the people of the church come together and use there skills or equipment to get the job done!!! Keep putting your 5 or 10$ in the plate it that makes you feel better about yourself!! It's not for me, would rather build it myself with the hands, and the good Lord. Where's your "hobbies" trying to provide for your family ??? Bet other then putting in the plate or your wife cooking something for someone that died you have never put no sweat blood or tears into making your church any better. And thats fine, it each there own, as to the way you feel you need to believe just happy you believe |

Now let's be realistic God is not wanting you to quit your job and put your family in the poor house because your out on 7-12s once and a while. However if your job allows you no time for worship then you may need to look for a new job. God first, family second, then everything else. If it isn't in that order you've got it wrong. No exceptions |

Tithing in the bible is not at all what the church teaches about tithing. Tithing is not mandated on the church. There are instances where tithing is mentioned in the New Testament, but Jesus is actually pointing out that they are still abiding by an old law while overlooking the main laws in place, I.e. Judgement, mercy and faith. Jesus mentioned tithing twice in this way and both times the tithe he spoke of was agrarian (herbs and spices specifically). It's amazing to me that people actually give 10% of their income to a guy on a pulpit (who says the money is for God) because he has made them scared of burning in hell, all by manipulating or misinterpreting the words in a book. Read it yourself folks. Church is an ancient equivalent to Facebook, people just copy, paste and believe - someone we know or like said it, so damnit it's gotta be true! I'd bet most people who have shared stories from TheOnion are avid tithers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
