523 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | Val | 220651 | ||
The book of Hebrews deals with the abolishment of the law. We are under a new covenant. The law was given to God's people Israel. The tithe is not repeated in the new testament. I am sure it pains pastor of churches and possibly other organizations to hear these words. A lot of people love to spend other people's money whether it be in tithes and offerings or taxes. | ||||||

Calm down Mr. Beja. If you are not in that category you have no reason to be offended. The book specifically says the law was abolished. It was for Israel. Greed is something every human being deals with. There is a verse that says take heed lest you fall. The issue at hand was tithing. No personal offense was meant to you personally. If you believe tithing is under the new covenant I simply disagee. Christ spoke much about the wolves that come in the church and dishonest gain. Many headlines today speak of people losing their life savings to these wolves. We just have different perspectives. The other subjects you mentioned would be covered in their own topics. I was speaking to the original question on the topic of tithes. Let us agee to disagree. Good Day. | ||||||
526 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | Val | 220665 | ||
Which do you think tithing comes under civil, ceremonial or moral? I am just going by old (Moses) covenant and new Christ) covenant. Hebrews clearly states the old was done away with. It is also referred to in Hebrews as the law. The whole bible is the believers standard of conduct. I can find no where that a certain percentage is to be given, 10 percent, or to demand that 10 percent from others. Isn't it between the believer and the Lord? To demand a percentage is legalism isn't it? | ||||||
527 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | Val | 220666 | ||
I have studied the book of Hebrew PUP. I have studied many books using these in depth studies. My view so far is that tithing is something that was given to Israel under the old covenant. Under the new covenant we are under grace. No where under the new covenant is there a demand for a certain percentage to be given. Rather it does say take care of orphans, widows, help the poor, take care of your family. The physical church today does not co these things rather the majority goes to pay salaries. Therefore to demand a percentage is not right. Paul never demanded money. He asked if people wanted to participate and made a case thar they should give. However my point is he did not tell them how much to give. A thorough study of the book of Hebrews shows that we are under a new covenant. As for Abraham if you can show me that this is a mandate for the new covenant I will be willing to look at it. Grace is grace. Law is law. We are under grace. Does that give us a right to sin; as Paul said May it never be. Are you going so far as to say it is a sin not to give a certain percentage or to give only to the local church? What are giving as the Lord leads, to different causes and different amounts as the individual has purposed in his heart. Good day. | ||||||
528 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | Val | 220669 | ||
Civil law is government. Is it not? We have a different government than Israel had. Of course our very breath belongs to the Lord. Are you saying it is wrong and a sin for a believer not to give to the local chuch ? Just so I understand your position. | ||||||

In my last post I was meaning the percentage, the 10 percent. | ||||||
530 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | Val | 220673 | ||
I left out the 10 percent in my question. Could you reread it and respond with the 10 percent in there? Thanks | ||||||
531 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | Val | 220674 | ||
The tithe us not repeated in the new testment. It was given to Israel under the mosiac covenant. We are certainly told to support the church but the ways and means is left to each individual believer. To demand 10 percent is in my view legalism to me. I am under grace and liberty in the New covenant. I do not wish to debate this topic any longer. Good Day | ||||||

If you do not have any other problems with your pastor, let it go. If you cannot, then move on to another congregation where you feel more accepted. Titus 3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, Titus 3:2 to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men. |

Dear Doc, I understood the question to be concerning the topic "the tribulation" aka as "the great tribulation". The gosepls cover the topic persecution. The book of Joel covers the topic the tribulation.

539 | Contemporizing Christians Message? | 2 Tim 4:2 | Val | 205857 | ||
Oh my, I believe you have just insulted our gracious hosts. I tend to disagree with you. The NASB has been my bible for some 20 years. I have several copies and give them as gifts to others. It is literal, dependable and easy to understand. Gen 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great." |

Perhaps I misunderstood you but these are your words "Are you saying the whole NASB and ESV are self explanatory and that no one needs any help understanding the Bible, or that messages sent to first century people in first century settings don't need any reapplication or reinterpretation for today? :)hats anyone? The NASB is the one of the most wooden (stiff)translations that exists and is harder to comprehend than most all other Bibles..." Your phrase "harder to comprehend" is what was key in my thoughts not "wooden" At NO point did the translators attempt to interpret Scripture through translation. Instead, the NASB translation team adhered to the principles of literal translation. This is the most exacting and demanding method of translation, requiring a word-for-word translation that is both accurate and readable. This method follows the word and sentence patterns of the original authors in order to enable the reader to study Scripture in its most literal format and to experience the individual personalities of those who penned the original manuscripts. For example, one can directly compare and contrast the simple eloquent style of John with the deep complexity of Paul. - Lockman |
