I am new to the bible and all I want to do is learn the common prayers. I do not know the names, but for example the now I lay me down to sleep, etc.
What is a tithe? Whom do we tithe to? Is it right to pay tithe to a Pastor or any minister of the church? The 10% of the income, is it gross or net?
I would like to know where the custom of praying in church came from. As I try and find it in the Bible, it says that we are not to pray publicly, but we are to go to our closets and pray in private. Can you help me with this?
Who has control over monies coming into the church?
Should we participate in the man made holiday of Lent?
