As a Christian, what do you believe the relationship between church and business should be like?
All aspects are up for discussion: business tithing, church owned businesses, not working on the Sabbath, etc.
I believe Church and Business should work together in a harmonious relationship. For example: the products purchased there should be of the same standard the business owner uses; the prices should be reasonable; customers should be treated respectfully and courteously; etc. In short, the business owner should follow the Golden Rule - "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Done Unto You".
If there is a conflict between the Christian way and the Business way, the Christian path should be followed every time.
there is to be NO connection between the "church system" and Christians.
The "church system is not of God and He has NOTHING to do with it. The church found in the church buildings are the property of men who are deceived into believing they are serving Christ when in fact they are serving themselves and building their own kingdoms and not the kingdom of God. as the scriptures show.
Now the True "church" is another thing as it resides in those belonging to CHrist and goes everywhere the True Christian goes, so cannot be separated.
