1 | Melchisedec restored tithing | Rom 4:3 | Bereaniam | 171842 | ||
A well-respected preacher said that Melchisedec restored tithing under a new government. Isn't this ridiculous and unscriptural? Bereaniam |

2 | Melchisedec restored tithing | Rom 4:3 | Hank | 171846 | ||
Bereaniam: This might be a good time and place to observe, in connection with your question, that the apostle Paul and his associate Silas were no doubt "well-respected preachers" in the eyes of some, but that didn't stop the Bereans from checking them out by searching the Scriptures daily -- see Acts 17:11. If the Bereans saw fit to compare the Apostle's teaching with Scripture, much more should we compare the teaching of today's preachers with Scripture! Being a "well-respected preacher" in our time is no guarantee that what he is preaching is sound doctrine. There are a lot of preachers out there who have built for themselves a virtual empire on rotten doctrine. One must always ask, "By whom is he respected?" Blind guides are respected by their blind followers. Even cult leaders are respected by the rank and file of the cult. Keep searching Scripture. Keep on saying to yourself, "a Berean-i-am!" --Hank | ||||||
