Here it is again. Another email claiming that we are under the “New Covenant” so we don’t have to tithe. The New Covenant is a subject unto itself, and you can read more about it in the articles “The Ten Commandments” and “God’s Plan 7: What Is the New Covenant?”….
A 19 August 2009 article by Joel Hilliker on “Working to Inspire an Empire” posted to TheTrumpet.com and showed up in a Google alert. He covers several aspects of the Pope’s papacy from 19 April 2005 to the present. In the beginning, Pope Benedict tried to reassure critics about “God’s…
The New York Times ran the article “Believers Invest in the Gospel of Getting Rich” on 15 August about a convention with appearances by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. “God knows where the money is, and he knows how to get the money to you,” preached Mrs. Copeland, dressed in a…
