Name one church. Absolutely repugnant to mislead (at best) or lie (at worst) Biblical teachings. So abhorrent in fact, I extend an opportunity for you to walk back that statement.
Yes, the Lord promises to pour out an abundant blessing....that has NOTHING to do with salvation. AND, you need to read all the other passages about giving in the Bible to have a more complete understanding. It is clear you have not done that, nor made any attempt to actually understand Malachi as you quoted.
You make more bucks by saving pennies sometimes. The fact of the matter is ticket holders have been footing the bill except for endowments. NOW WITH NIL everyone can contribute unless you were providing county scholarships or ham sandwiches. 5, 10, 10000 bucks it's all good now. With tickets you can't have them unless you pay X and then they might let you have them.
not really, they sold sacraments which is different that a tithe. but regardless, that has been proven Biblically false and even the Catholics today have denounced it.
you're missing the point of tithing. it has nothing to do with paying bills for the church...look up what Jesus had to say about it. you say to believe in a higher power...is that God? What if any role does Jesus have in your higher power belief? If you acknowledge Jesus, but dont read (or follow) the words He spoke, then you really dont believe in a higher power.
The sellout streak was on life support with donors footing the bill with reduced costs. People were voting with their wallets and it wouldn’t continue to sustain itself if we had another losing season this year. IMO.
20 years of purgatory hasn't but it really was on life support after the Frost stint. Many people including myself had finally had enough after being the eternal optimist. Fortunately I think we have THAT GUY
You don’t answer the question, oh well, that is par.
