I was reading 1 Timothy 5:9 and was wondering how many years are threescore years and does this passage mean the church is not responsible for widows until this age?
The scriptures say that the Apostle Peter was married and that she was lead to martyrdom in Rome. I would like to know as much as possible about Peter's wife. Was she traveling with him all the time? Did they have children?
I need help with research on elder abuse. What scripture references would you use to enlighten me on the Christian's responsibility in cases of elder abuse? Should the Christian speak out? Is it meddling to discuss/report suspected elder abuse? I found very little in my concordance under abuse, elder and aged. Can you help?
Can you show me the biblical position on the local church supporting a widow (indeed)? How the widow indeed definition works and where the example is given of the deacons being charged with assisting the bishop in the administration and dispersement of needed funds to the widows and any other needy believers that may be listed?
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?
