Hi

Yes i am a Christian. I believe in salvation through Grace only and i believe that Jesus was the son of God and i believe in the bible only.
I am however a very liberal Christian, if You Are a member of a private church, Like the penta costel or Another ekumenik church or Another kind of church, You might have been taught To not To have a beer at all and You Are taught To give Your money To the church, at least in many churches. I do not follow those rules at all. The bible does not forbid You To have a glass of wine, the bible tells You " Do not get drunk" I do not have these bible verses
in front of me. And do not become addicted To alcohol. I usually drink water or milk To the food.
About paying 10% of Your possessions and Your income To the church. I would say: "use Your head" and Your common sense. For at First many of us can only afford To pay the bills and it is important To have savings when You become ole is important. If You have To do oral surgery and You have To pay for bridges To the dentist and This costs 25 000 €
and You do not have This, then You Can not afford the dentist. There are certainly old People and others who neglect important costs because they give away their money To their church,although they are poor. To Support Your church a little is different from paying tithe, especially if You have a low income. People live longer and the money has To last longer.
