2 | can i pay my tithes to my mother? | 2 Cor 9:7 | PapaChapa | 109202 | ||
God’s work requires both tithes and obedience and it is with obedience that we tithe and with obedience to God we will receive His blessings. God has entrusted use with money and requires use to manage our money with Godly wisdom. One question to ask your self is “can God trust me with the money/income He gave me?” A truthful answer for most Christians is NO. Most Christians live with out any knowledge of managing money. If you can’t manage what God has given you then how can you expect God to bless you with more? Most Christians do not budget or have a financial plan for their income. If you managed money for a business the same way you manage money for you home you would not have a job for very long. With out a financial plan (financial plan: A report of estimated expenditure and income.) a business will not last survive. The same way it applies to an individual, without a financial plan you will come into bondage with debt. Having large credit debt hanging over you will hinder your walk as a Christian. With out financial planning you have little ideal where your money is being applied, with that you find you’re self running into the red every month. When you read the parable Jesus told about the Loaned Money: Mat 25:14-30. The master entrusted 3 men with 3 different amounts of money. Each one did what was in there heart for the master. The last man that was entrusted with the smallest amount did not produce growth. God requires his children to produce fruit (Growth in every aspect of a Christian life). When we become enslaved to debt we cease to grow with what God has given use. You will not be able to help others, or the church, missions or even family. You start to question if you should pay tithes or you are not paying tithes at all. When you are not paying tithes as a Christian you are robbing from God. Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me. But you say, In what have we robbed You? In the tithe and the offering! Mal 3:9 You are cursed with a curse; for you are robbing Me, the nation, all of it. Mal 3:10 Bring all the tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house. And test Me now with this, says Jehovah of Hosts, to see if I will not open the windows of Heaven for you, and pour out a blessing for you, until there is not enough room. Mal 3:11 And I will rebuke your devourer, and he shall not decay the fruit of your ground against you; nor shall your vine miscarry against you in the field, says Jehovah of Hosts. Mal 3:12 And all nations shall call you blessed; for you shall be a delightful land, says Jehovah of Hosts. Honor God with your first fruits! This does not mean to give God what is left over. You will hear some Christians ask if you should pay tithes on net or total. If you have to ask then you need to spend more time in God’s Holy Word. 2Ch 31:5 And as the command spread, the sons of Israel brought plentifully of the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field. And the tithe of all things they brought in abundance. Firstfruits are not leftovers or scraps; firstfruits are the FIRST and the Best, without spot or blemish from what God has entrusted you with. Be it money, time, prayer, studding or helping others you should strive to give God your first and best. In a nutshell, some Christians do not pay tithes because they can't or they wont. They can't because they lack the knowledge to manage their finances and they wont because they lack sound biblical teaching. I find the later would argue the point, which tithes are not in the NT. Poor argument! Always pray for wisdom and God will give it to you. Listened to the Holy Spirit and let Him guide you in your walk with Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. Your Brother in Christ, Dave Chapa |

7 | Are Tounges a sign of Spiritual Baptism | Acts 2:4 | PapaChapa | 73434 | ||
In the past I have heard so much controversy over “speaking in tongues” that caused me to question my belief in the Baptism on the Holy Spirit “speaking in tongues”. Was it really a prayer language? Who gave this to me? Well, for the answer I had to go back to when I was 17 years old. When I was 17 years old I accepted Jesus in my life and became new borne Christian. I didn’t know much about the bible (was learning though) and I walked by faith. When I was at church the preacher ask if anyone wanted to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. As a new borne Christian I wanted everything God had to offer. I went up and the pastor said praise God and I was praising and he lade his had on me and all of the sudden I was praying in am unknown language. I did not make up funny sounds nor did the pastor ask me to repeat wired sounds. All he said was give praise to God. At the age of 17 I new this: 1. I knew whom my Lord and savoir was (Christ Jesus) 2. I walked by faith not by sight. 3. I ask my Father for a fish and he did not give me a snake. At the age of 35 I now this: 1. I know whom my Lord and savoir is (Christ Jesus) 2. I walked by faith not by sight. 3. I ask my Father for a fish and he did not give me a snake. Mat 7:9 Or what man is there of you, if his son asks a loaf, will he give him a stone? Mat 7:10 Or if he asks a fish, will he give him a snake? Mat 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him? 4. I do not hold “speaking in tongues” above salvation through Jesus. Nor will I ever say you have to “speaking in tongues” to be saved. Talking like that is foolishness. 5. It is one of many gifs and does not edify anyone but your self. 6. Without love what good are our spiritual gifs? 7. Isn’t teaching a spiritual girt? 1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 1Co 12:29 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles? 1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 1Co 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. I know what is true in my heart and what was given to me from God and I hold it dear as a wonderful gift. And I thank God for the other gifts that He gave me that I use to edifies the body in the name of Christ Jesus. Most of all I thank God that he gave me love and compassion for my brothers and sisters in Christ. |

8 | Please explain Verse 51. | Mark | PapaChapa | 73373 | ||
This study note is from Albert Barnes Bible notes. Mar_14:51 A certain young man - Who this was we have no means of determining, but it seems not improbable that he may have been the owner of the garden, and that he may have had an understanding with Jesus that he should visit it for retirement when he withdrew from the city. That he was not one of the apostles is clear. It is probable that be was roused from sleep by the noise made by the rabble, and came to render any aid in his power in quelling the disturbance. It is not known why this circumstance is recorded by Mark. It is omitted by all the other evangelists. It may have been recorded to show that the conspirators had instructions to take the “apostles” as well as Jesus, and supposing him to be one of them, they laid hold of him to take him before the high priest; or it “may” have been recorded in order to place his conduct in strong and honorable contrast with the timidity and fear of the disciples, who had all fled. Compare the notes at Mat_26:56. A linen cloth cast about his naked body - He was roused from sleep, and probably threw around him, in his haste, what was most convenient. It was common to sleep in linen bed-clothes, and he seized a part of the clothes and hastily threw it round him. The young men - The Roman soldiers. They were called “young men” because they were made up chiefly of youth. This was a Jewish mode of speaking. See Gen_14:24; 2Sa_2:14; Isa_13:18. Laid hold on him - Supposing him to be one of the apostles. Other scholars say that it could have been Mark as a follower. Hope this helps :-) PapaChapa |

9 | Was sin the reason for the man sickness? | Bible general Archive 1 | PapaChapa | 72937 | ||
You have to look at the consequences of sin. “Don’t sin anymore. What happens when we sin? The consequences of sin are death and destruction. Psa 51:14 Keep me from any deadly sin. Only you can save me! Then I will shout and sing about your power to save. Pro 1:32 Sin and self-satisfaction bring destruction and death to stupid fools. Rom 5:12 Adam sinned, and that sin brought death into the world. Now everyone has sinned, and so everyone must die. (CEV) Rom 6:23 Sin pays off with death. But God's gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord. 1Co 15:56 Sin is what gives death its sting, and the Law is the power behind sin. Gal 6:1 My friends, you are spiritual. So if someone is trapped in sin, you should gently lead that person back to the right path. But watch out, and don't be tempted yourself. Heb 12:4 None of you have yet been hurt in your battle against sin. Jam 1:15 Our desires make us sin, and when sin is finished with us, it leaves us dead. When a Christian falls to sin it could lead to death. Sexual sin can kill the body with disease. Tobacco can kill the body. Drug addiction. I hope this helps. |

11 | Can I remarry and be forgiven by god | Luke 7:47 | PapaChapa | 72662 | ||
I do not find God going against His own word as you have put it in your statement. “God may want her to go else where.” Mal 2:16 The LORD God All-Powerful of Israel hates anyone who is cruel enough to divorce his wife. So take care never to be unfaithful! Mat 19:8 Jesus replied, "You are so heartless! That's why Moses allowed you to divorce your wife. But from the beginning God did not intend it to be that way. Every thing should be done to save a marriage. I also understand the reality of hurtful feeling but All things are possible through Christ Jesus. Divorce is CRUEL and hurts every one involved not just one person. |

13 | Pastor Preaching in a Mad way!!!!!! | Bible general Archive 1 | PapaChapa | 72454 | ||
You are a member of the “body, the church, the bride of Christ" and you have a right to voice your concerns. Spend time in pray first then voice your concern in love and compassion. If he/they rejects what you have to say then you have done your part. God gave us the Holy Spirit and His Holy Word to guide us through life. If you see that the preaching does not line up then hopefully you wont be the only one in the church concerned, others will also be concerned. Keep the faith. Your brother in Christ PapaChapa |
