Some enlightenment from Brother Ely Soriano on various religious questions

It is more fun criticizing

i happen to watch occasionally TV shows at UNTV featuring bible exposition by its leader Bro Ely

His answer to the questions are revealing:

1.  Why do we pay for rituals?

Blessings and Bible are free.  The teachings of the scripture.  are free.  But why are some churches sell the Bible or make money out of the scriptures and rites.

2.  Is tithing a must?

To give 10th of your earnings to the church was only teaching. It refers to the Church of Israel.  Not the church of God.  You can give freely as you please to the Church of God and its not mandatory.

3.  Must a faithful attend church services on certain day.

Attending church services on a certain day, ie say 7th day or Sabbath is required under the church of Israel.  Its no longer required under the Church of God (time of Jesus)

4.  Why do young people die?

It is part of living.  All people who live must die.  It is our destiny. God wills it.   And after that judgement, and the promise of eternal life. Gods spirit can not over power death.

But while death can be ugly and sad for many, the promise of eternal life, after judgement, gives beauty and glamor to dying.
