   Peter 2:9 DOES refer to the New Testament Church, Christians, as priests based   
   on the Hebrews 7:17    
   which says "For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of   
   Melchisedec." Because Jesus is "a priest for ever after the order of   
   Melchisedec" we are as He is being Joint Heirs with Jesus. Guess what, Dennis;   
   JESUS IS RECEIVING TITHES    
   FROM NO ONE.

   Missed what point, Dennis?    
   Tell me what "point" I'm missing?    
   >    
   > You're sounding just like Gene who consistently claimed that "no one gets   
   it," and conveniently never told anyone what "it" was. I personally believe   
   that Gene's statement of "no one gets it" was little more that a narcissistic   
   statement of his own    
   feelings of superiority over other people (he "got it," no one else did...oh,   
   I forgot; Melissa "got it"), and a carrot he dangled in front of everyone to   
   keep people "coming back over and over again to try and learn what 'it' was."   
   If Gene was right    
   that "no one gets it" than he was a lousy teacher that couldn't teach worth a   
   damn and should have been replaced with a skilled teacher-pastor who could   
   teach the truth of God's word SO PEOPLE WOULD GET IT.

   think it's time you realized that Gene Scott preached and taught a   
   considerable degree of PURE ABSOLUTE    
   BULLSHIT to his followers. Only an incompetent "teacher" would conclude that a   
   pastor is some kind of "Levite" ("type" or not) with the right to setup a   
   bunch of "king's tithers" and demand ten percent of their monetary income, not   
   to mention the idiotic    
   BULLSHIT he began teaching questioning someone's salvation if they were not so   
   called "tithers."

   you owe me money because

   Gideon!...and of course, TITHE!! I can't recall a single time Gene Scott every   
   read 2 Corinthians 9:7 and told his followers NOT TO GIVE BEING PRESURRED TO   
   DO SO. Why? Simple; he    
   was pressuring people to send in money...GET ON THE PHONES!!!!
