One steals from the people and the other peals from the steeple.

Church tithing is a scam. In Deut. 14:22-26 you will see that the tithe is food not money. Your preacher will say that they didn't have money back then, but read it closely, vs 25 says if its too far to travel sell your tithe for money and when you get to Gods place buy whatever food and drink you want. Deut. 12:11-27 tells you that you can tithe at home and vs 17-18 tells that the tither always eats the tithe. The word tithe is used 40 times in the OT and only 8 in the NT but it is preached constantly. 2 Cor 16:1-3 collections were for the poor and to be on Sunday so that no money would be collected when Paul preached. Hmmm I gues that means he didnt preach on Sunday like the Pagan Romans did.Jacob was the first to tithe 10% of all that he has. Ask yourself what church did he give it to? In case anyone can't figure this out there were no churches.Tithing was a requirment of the law, why do churches only keep the parts of the law that will benefit them? If you keep the law then you must keep all the law. With that being the case why isn't your preacher slaughtering animals for sacrifce and checking their innards by hand for tumors? Before I give a tithe the preacher better have a goat tied to the alter and slit its throat. Always remember "You cannot serve God and Mammon".If your preacher tells people to tithe, which almost all do,then he is serving mammon(money).He is not a man of God and does not know Christ as Saviour for no man of God would ever ask for money for himself. Run from this church and never return. Find a non-tithing church.good luck with that one. We are to live by faith, where is the preachers faith, he is a swindler and has no faith and is stealing yours from you. A church is not a business, tell your preacher to get a real job and steal from people like all respectable CEO's do in the stock market.To anyone reading this, if you want a outline of everthing to do with tithing and its proper form compared to the church lies e-mail me at my below address and tell me that you want a copy of "The Power of Mammon" include your mailing address and I will mail it to you free of charge. I don't have to ask for money because I have faith in God to provide for me.

Murder is in the Ten Commandments. I think that takes precedent over pretty much anything (unless you mean embezzlement which = stealing which is also in there which means they are equal).

perhaps the expression 'i may be a burglar...but i am an honest one' is implying that not all thiefs are liars. burglary and lying, although both considered moral wrongs, are not one and the same thing. \nI think the assumption that stealing is always wrong is a dangerous one to make. suppose you're a poor person living on the street. you've got no home, no job, no money and no food. would you still consider it wrong to steal a loaf of bread?it also depends on your definition of the word wrong. in a legal sense, yes, stealing is always wrong. in a moral sense, it could well be a different story. One must consider the context of the theft. Stealing to survive is very different to stealing for the sake of it.\n\nas for honour amongst thieves, i don't think it means that stealing is honourable. the word 'amongst' should not be forgotten. honour amongst thieves is a reference to the idea that although thieves generally have no scruples or moral boundaries, they do have their own set of rules when they're dealing with each other. Something like a pirate's code. They'll raid, pillage and plunder but in their dealings with other pirates, they have a code of conduct or a code of honour to which they hold themselves.

It's to get the attention of the other person.\n\nLike a doorbell sound.

LOL, nope most churches don't have any metal detectors. So, please carry whatever weapons you feel you need to be safe with. LOL  I don't go to any church or mosque, but I'm sure if you wore a mask and cape they'd like you better when you pick a place you'd like to visit. Plus it would make your use of weapons more theatrical. Have fun. LOL

There are not a lot of differences.  The mainstream CoC generally do not allow musical instruments in church worship.  The other big difference is calvinism.  While there are some exceptions, overall the Baptist denomination is Calvinistic.  The CoC is not Calvinistic.  The CoC believes in free will and that God does not choose who goes to heaven or hell.  Calvinism says that God decides who goes and who does not, therefore Christ did not die for everyone but only for the elect (those He chose to go to heaven).  Calvinism does away with free will.  Calvinism also says a person can never lose their salvation once they have it while the CoC believes one can lose it and turn their back on God.

I dont really see a difference. Surely there is differences . Like most of the time judges marry in court houses or their preferred spot. I'm not sure what the judge says, but i'm guessing its pretty similar to what a priest says in his church.

Good Christians are in church. They have alarms to potect they're home while gone.  \n\nAtheists wait till they get home and steal from them up front. No alarms ON.\n\nHope this helps.

It's an invention of the R.C Church. They then called it a mystery to avoid any discussion or debate on the subject.

1. Peddlers had bells to announce their arrival\nhttp://www.rootsweb.com/~genepool/meanings.htm\n\n2. I heard this one somewhere, may not be true as I can't find a source\nBells on a the wagons were a kind of decoration and a luxury. If there was trouble on the road, they would sell the bells to raise needed money. To be ther with your bells on means you expect to have a fast and easy trip.\n\n3. No real history, bells are just festive\nhttp://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=20000519\n\n4. You're so happy to come, the horses will be wearing their most festive harness, with bells on\nhttp://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/6/messages/348.html\n\n5. Bells on the wagon indicate a friendly visit\nhttp://www.writersblock.ca/fall2000/origins.htm

I found that Saignelegier is a town in Switzerland, Chiantel is the name of the company which produced your bell. \nFondeur means foundry. It is a French word\nI guess the 1878 is the date the foundry was created. Today some bells are still made by this company

It depends which "liberty bell" you are talking about. The first one, hung in 1753, was cracked when it was hung. It was melted down and recast a few times, most famously by Pass and Stowe (watch "National Treasure"; great movie). There is widespread disagreement about when the first crack appeared on the Bell. However, it is agreed that the final expansion of the crack which rendered the Bell unringable was on Washington's Birthday in 1846.
