Basically he's saying that unless you become a member of his church AND you tithe according to the instructions above, you are doomed! Now, I do not know what to believe or think. Sure, I believe in end-times but I also believe in a loving and forgiving God - one who has no use for currency or coin of the realm. This is where I see religion becoming a business and not a spiritual venture. So, who knows... He's not selling his books but he's using them as a mechansim to scare the hell out of you to join his church and send 10% of all of your after-tax income to him in exchange for the opportunity to be saved. You be the judge!
Hi Kozmo,
I can see your point here but what you have to remember is that God might not need money personally but his church does to function; to spread the word.
I know currently that Ronald is spending a few thousand dollars a day to maintain the PKG web site then you have the free books that he sends out; plus getting google to place adds on web pages etc and you have the free live web sermon then you have to remember the cost's of getting a place to perform the sermon from.
Then also any people that cant get to the live sermons he will send you out free cd' with sermons on; if peeps cant afford a hotel for the feast he will put them up and sort them out lift’s etc. Ronald is a good person, if you have no job you do not have to tithe but you can still get the book for free and listen to the live sermons for free, be baptised for free; I mean for petes sake people quibble over a measly ten percent when the governments of the world are taxing everybody left right and centre and quite literally making poor people more poor; come on....... give the guy a break.
Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s but you won’t give to God????????????
This are just some of these cost's that he alone has born the brunt of but now the final shove is coming and God is calling in his debts.
Listen to a sermon, he so dislikes even mentioning tithes simply because of the reaction he knows that he will get; I would not like to be in his shoes right now at all; doing his job. The ridicule he is going to have to endure and knowing the things he does; my heart aches for him, he has a lovely wife and two children. Do you think they are going to suffer any less than us????? No of course not and having to write a book like that telling people how it is and how it is going to be; NO I envy him not.
But admire him for his strength I do.
Money is material; a man made JOKE, something that is only real because people have given it power when ultimately it is nothing. I could live completely off the land and never want for anything and it would not cost be a bean but no we have to have houses and cars etc. In truth we have no real need of money and as far as I am concerned any money I do send to Ronald will be used to spread the word of God and nothing else and I am proud to be a part of that, to allow lesser fortunate people than me to hear the truth of God; to give them a chance like Ronald gave me because up till recently he financed everything himself, maxxed his credits cards; re-mortgage the house; the works and now he needs our help. Well I for one know where I stand and I know what I believe.
Peace.
P.S. What is so scary about Gods plan for man?
I as well as Truth Seeker has already admitted looking forward to the fruition of Gods plans and yes times are going to be hard but it is a lesson mankind needs to learn and learn well but once that is over......... well all I can say is let peace reign.
And Thank you Truth Seeker for the thumbs up; it is good to my post’s are appreciated by somebody.



), and I also want to say that I wish you all the
best with regard to next year, as I suppose you are both living in the US or another English-speaking country. Hopefully, as Ron is currently
emphasizing in his sermons, we'll be able to see more people having their minds opened in the coming months, it would be awesome to be able to help
them along on forums such as these.
