4	Finances Tithing is not required, but typically I see that as a Christian becomes more and more mature in the sanctification process they become more and more generous than even the tithe. This is the way	/r/RPChristians	29/11/21 07:31 PM
0	Finances Though above I defended your Biblical point that women cannot be pastors, I do not agree that men can be without sin after salvation. Firstly, the Bible clearly states in 1 John 1:18: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But more importantly, even in the letter to the Galatians we find a prime example of the lead apostle, apostle Peter, sinning, by being a hypocrite in front of the present Jews and gentiles (Read Galatians 2). Even apostles who were discipl…	/r/RPChristians	29/11/21 05:41 AM
2	Finances What if God literally told you that women cannot be pastors? Would you change your mind and submit to God's opinion, or would you keep saying that women can be pastors, just because you feel that they can?	/r/RPChristians	29/11/21 05:36 AM
9	Finances Jesus was still living under the Old Covenant law, under the mosaic law. The entire reason why the law was fulfilled was because He obeyed it to perfection. The point of the gospel is not only that Jesus died for our sins, but also that Jesus lived the perfect righteous life, fulfilling the Law of God to perfection. The New Covenant only began when Jesus had the last supper with the disciples. A good way to envision this, is to see the gospels as still largely being part of the Old Testament / O…	/r/RPChristians	28/11/21 10:18 PM
12	Finances Interesting post overall, and I certainly agree with the points about how the church has gone too far with pushing money itself as evil. Money can be a great means to advance the kingdom of God. I have no further comment to make in that regard. But about the first section, regarding tithing, what would you make of 2 Corinthians 9:7? 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. I do not believe that modern day Christians…	/r/RPChristians	28/11/21 10:12 PM

2	I have an interesting situation at my gym I need your help with If you cannot do it out of faith, it is sin. Without judging whether or not the act of bowing before the picture is idolatry, if your conscience tells you it is wrong, or even stronger, if you cannot do it out of faith, it is sin, as anything done without faith. Romans 14:22-23 22 The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is no…	/r/askRPC	17/08/21 01:55 PM
2	How important is it for spouses to go to church together? Faith in God and His love should be enough to repent; I’m not quite as motivated by fear. That's a good point you make. It's God's goodness that is meant to lead us to repentance, as said in Romans 2:4: 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? I do however believe Satan exists, and there's plenty of scripture talking about that, but I won't currently bother you with that, nor create another…	/r/RPChristians	06/08/21 10:48 AM
6	How important is it for spouses to go to church together? This is my second reply, probably much shorter than the first, more extensive one. As to your middle paragraph, I can only refer to the thousands of testimonies of ex mormons. I want to remind you, that unlike the protestant church which is a huge bunch of denominations, churches such as the Church of latter day saints, the Jehova'hs Witnesses and obviously the Roman-Catholic church are very organized churches, from the top/wordwide level, to the local level. You are right, every church by thems…	/r/RPChristians	02/08/21 07:51 PM
15	How important is it for spouses to go to church together? Thanks for your reply! I appreciate you taking your time too. To keep things ordered, this is the (theological) response to your first part. Responses to your other parts will follow. This part is a bit long, and please don't feel pressured to have to respond to every part immediately. As said, commitment to an LDS church (as to a JW church, etc) is likely a lifetime one, so I don't think it can hurt to take some time out now to truly study the word and find out if this is really something you w…	/r/RPChristians	02/08/21 07:01 PM
4	How important is it for spouses to go to church together? I understand where you are coming from brother. I hope the mods leave it up, and I pray that not only this sister, but also future people who browse this sub will be warned against the LDS church, and get out before it's too late.	/r/RPChristians	02/08/21 05:12 PM
23	How important is it for spouses to go to church together? Rule 3 - Denigrating the Faith No proselytizing people away from Christianity or denigrating our faith. You are very right that it is against the rules to proselytize someone away from Christianity, thanks for your concern! The whole point however, is that sects like Mormonism and JW are not to be considered Christian. They are by large perversions of Christianity, sects. As the point I made, if believing in (a) Jesus made you Christian, we could call muslims Christians too! The line is set much…	/r/RPChristians	02/08/21 04:56 PM
50	How important is it for spouses to go to church together? Hey sister, I think it is good that you put great importance on the dynamics between you and your husband. You are right to want to do this with him. We have to however tackle the greater threat. This post will not have as much to do with "RP", but more with the "Christians" part. I hope the mods see the need for it, and keep the post up. Hear me out however, dear sister. I say this truly out of love. The LDS church is NOT a church you should be following. I would not even consider them Christia…	/r/RPChristians	02/08/21 04:38 PM
