Chrisitans leave scripture instead of tips

Too bad they didn't read it and learn from it instead of just leaving it.

Lipsher: What would Jesus tip? - The Denver Post

Of all the sanctimonious excuses for being cheap, there is a fad among Christians of leaving fake $10 bills with scripture on the back instead of a real tip.

A study found that self-identified Christians are twice as cheap as Jews when giving tips.

If I ever saw a Christian leaving a fake $10 tip with scripture I'd knock it to the floor and tip the waitress for them.

I'd probably get so angry I'd cuss the cheapskate out to their face.

First, there is no fad that I am aware of for using fake Ten Dollar tips with scriptures on them for tips. It is true that there are such fake money, with scriptures on it. I have never seen it used, and certainly not as a fad.

Second, You will need to identify the study that you mentioned. It may appear that Christians are "cheap," but if you knew these people who give small tips, I think there needs to be some definition of what is cheap. Also those Christians who do give tips have many other places where they give. Cheap may be a perception.

I agree that the fake money use is wrong, and should be left with a real tip. I am glad that makes you angry. Do you get angry when a person leaves nothing?

Here's a tip. No Christian has ever known our Creator.

So, do you know "all" Christians? How can you make that statement unless you do? I know the Creator, and He knows me. So, prove that to be a lie, please.

 

[The Irish Ram]

If they were given scripture, that "tip" may have been the best they have ever received.

Nevertheless, a bonus for a job well done, To Insure Promptness shouldn't have been overlooked. Next time write the scripture on a real 10.00 bill and bless your waiter twice. It is being a good steward of your money and spreading the gospel at the same time.

And yet, on posts you lump all muslims into one category based on the actions of a few.

Hypocrite much........

It isn't just one thing that I judge Islam on.
Where the Quran contradicted itself, they burned it.

My stepsister went to Israel and a Muslim man stole her shoe.
The pornography found in Osamma Bin Laden's residence shows a lot of background.
It isn't one thing.

Oh my.....that's more than enough to stereotype all muslims......please proceed. .

It is the creed of Muslims, not the personality of each that determines the stereotype, just as Christ determines our creed. That we can pick out a stray from either is human nature. But our reactions to the two religions are molded according to creed, not deed.

One offers death to all but a select group, for Allah's sake. The other offers life to all that follow Christ for God's and mankind's sake. The difference is night and day. Allah is not just another word for God.

The most meek of Muslims still pray for the death of others if they hold true to the Quran.
The most powerful of Christians still pray for forgiveness of others if they hold true to the NT.

But you follow a sinner. He was told to have no more than four wives and he had 17 or 18 and maybe two of them were concubines.

In Sura 18:110, and elsewhere, Muhammad is commanded by Allah:

"Say, I am but a man like yourselves."

Nowhere in the Quran is Muhammad said to be sinless. Instead, Allah tells Muhammad that he is no different than any other man.

Those Muslims who claim that Muhammad was sinless have failed to note Sura 40:55, where Allah told Muhammad to repent of his sins!

Muhammad Pickthal translates Sura 40:55 as saying:

"Ask forgiveness of thy sin".

The only way out of this passage is to state that Allah was wrong to ask Muhammad to ask for forgiveness because he had nothing to forgive!

Pickthal's translation of Sura 48:1, 2 states:

"Lo! We have given thee,
(O Muhammad), signal victory,
that Allah may forgive thee
of past and that which is to
come, and may perfect His
favor unto thee, and guide
thee on a right path"

Incorrect again Poindexter.

Muhammad had 13 wives; but Allah never put a limit on the number of wives for him.

The 4 wife limit was for the ummah. (muslim community) .

Still 4 too many.........

Hi Sunni, not to late to give your heart to the one that wants life for all His children and not death for all the ones you don't like.

If the God of Abraham responded to Hagar's plea, would He be any less concerned about you?
Christ writes on the hearts of men.
Here's a good tip:

Ephesians 3:17-19
Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

See? Now all you need is $10.00 and you're good to go. His is a no kill zone.

It is called adultery and fornication.

Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Acts 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Matthew 5:27 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Ephesians 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

Ephesians 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

(Make sure you look up the word "lasciviousness" too.)

Galatians 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Galatians 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Lasciviousness is defined as:

unbridled lust, excess, licentiousness, lasciviousness, wantonness, outrageousness, shamelessness, insolence

And Jesus never spoke against it either. .

But the most compelling biblical argument against polygamy is found in the New Testament portrait of marriage. Jesus states quite clearly in Matthew 19:5-6 in reference to Genesis 2, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one." The Apostle Paul is quite specific in his instructions to the Church in I Corinthians 7:2, "But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband." He also reminds the Ephesians of Jesus' words, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."38 The comparison Paul makes between marital love and the love Christ has for the Church, illustrates the quality of love God requires in marriage: a selfless, sacrificial love. "In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself."39 The Apostle Paul makes it clear that a leader in the Church is to be the husband of just one wife and that he is to love that wife as much as he loves himself. 40 This selfless love is the antithesis of polygamy. John Hyde Jr., in his poignant 1857 eyewitness account of life in Salt Lake City under Brigham Young, testified that this selfless love was missing in polygamy: "To sacrifice one's self, to a most trivial extent, for a wife is esteemed as beneath manly dignity...It is impossible for any man to equally love several different women; it is quite possible, however, for him to be equally indifferent about any number."41

and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;

Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Jesus says that a second marriage is adultery except for fornication. Polygamy is adultery.

Romans 7:1 ¶ Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband.
Romans 7:3 So then if, while [her] husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

It isn't just polygamy. It is adultery.

Subject: Polygamy is wrong

Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

If God meant for there to be polygamy, it would have said "wives" and Genesis 2:24 wouldn't have said "one flesh". God's model was one woman and one man in the beginning.

Deuteronomy 17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

Polygamy is the practice of multiplying wives.

1 Corinthians 7:1 ¶ Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.
1 Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
1 Corinthians 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

God designed marriage to protect us from immorality and immorality is a reason against Polygamy which I will try to draw out of the scriptures at a later time.

Polygamy is condemned in the Book of Mormon (I'm not Mormon):

Jacob 1:15; 2:23,24,27,31;3:5; Mosiah 11:2,4; Ether 10:5,7
