1 The laws of the bible in todays world Bible general Archive 2 gab 137665
  Hi Juls and everyone,

May our LORD and Master Jesus Christ be with us all.

Witnessing to unbelievers is a spiritual battle. It is not a war with flesh and blood or doctrine. It’s the name of our

LORD and Master Jesus Christ that sets them free.

To Tim -- The Holy Spirit is definitely in Unity. The Holy Spirit of our LORD Jesus Christ doesn’t contradict how He

works even here in the United Kingdom. All sinners are saved the same way in the four corners of the earth by simply telling them

what our LORD Jesus Christ (GOD Almighty in the flesh) has done for them, you and me.

Our LORD Jesus Christ spoke through Hank this answers are all in the bible has Hank mentioned;

'Paul first preached Christ and Him crucified to sinners. Later he touched on matters such as moral conduct and doctrine

to the redeemed of Christ's church'

I experienced this first hand and it brought tears to both my eyes and soul for days. But I thank GOD almighty through His

Holy Spirit for revealing the truth to me. This happened 2 weeks ago.

I usually pray in an unused room at work in a remote part of the building. Every time I went there was a young man (21

yrs) who was there on the phone talking to his girlfriend. I usually just ignore him and carry on just spending time with

LORD Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit told me the first time to talk to this young man; I would just ignore the voice and just carry on

(thinking to myself what would I say and it would just all lead to trying to prove scripture all the time like it had

always been when I try and talk to unbelievers)

I ignored it has usual. The 3rd time I saw this same young man I said hello to him and introduced myself and asked his

name.

While praying the same voice said talk to him about me (me meaning Our LORD Jesus Christ). I ignored it and while I was

going I thank Our LORD Jesus Christ for giving me the grace to speak and not think about my fears of trying to convince

unbelievers.

The first thing that came out of my mouth to the young man was "Do you no Christ and how much our LORD Jesus Christ loves

you"

He replied in a child like innocent way, "who his this Christ and why does he love me"

I then explained to him that Our LORD Jesus Christ loved him and knew about him before he was formed in the womb and all

he did for both of us.

The young man replied "Is there really someone there or out there who actually cared about him and loved him, that he

really surely hopes there is someone like that"

I then explained to him that Our LORD Jesus Christ came to save us all and take us back to our real home and I explained

to him all he had to do was accept Our LORD Jesus Christ in his life.

He replied ‘how would he do that’.

That’s when I led him to Our LORD Jesus Christ and told him he his part of heavens family now.

He replied to me ‘really, does that mean he will meet this person that loves him so much. I replied we both shall meet

him.

The young man went away happy and joyful. Since then I have told him to go to a church near his area, buy a bible and

directed him to a daily devotional to read everyday.

About a week later a I met two different young men again at the same place. I then tried to talk to them about Christ they

just bombarded me with questions upon question, which ignorantly I tried to prove by quoting scripture and using practical

examples. It all didn’t work. They practically insulted me.

The Holy Spirit then reminded me that night that it’s all very simple. It’s not about how much scripture you know (which

is relevant, not saying its not) or how good a sermon a pastor preached that day its the NAME and LOVE of Our LORD JESUS

CHRIST that set sinners free not us.

It made me realise about the young man that received Christ. I didn’t lead him to Our LORD Jesus Christ but the Holy

Spirit did and I believe that Our LORD Jesus Christ had predestined that day before He laid the foundation of heaven and

earth that young man would be saved that day.

It made me realise about myself when I got saved it wasn’t no preaching or sermon that led me to Our LORD Jesus Christ it

was the power of the Holy Spirit of Our LORD Jesus Christ, which led me. It was only then that the sermons, the reading of

the WORD the preaching all made sense

The WORD of Jesus Christ said (cant remember what part of the bible) that the ways of our LORD Jesus Christ surpasses all

understanding of man.
Another scripture “You have to accept the kingdom of GOD like a child”

Hank, Tim -- I agree that when someone is not receptive when you keep your conversation geared and focused towards Our

LORD Jesus Christ you should just back off and pray for that soul.

Thank you Jesus Christ for everything.

2 Rapper turned pastor and now t'd rapper Bible general Archive 2 gab 136645
  Greetings in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ.

Thank you EdB and JCrichton for your inputs. our LORD Jesus Christ richly bless you.

I pondered on this all day has a follower of our LORD Jesus Christ for about 2 years. I have been saved for over 3 years its just during the past 2 years I been a true follower of our LORD Jesus Christ. While I was in the church then (before I became a devout follower of Christ) I still had one foot in the world doing all the what nots clubbing, girls, sex etc.

My friends then didn’t seem to mind because to them nothing had changed apart from oh yea I cant make it today im going church. Cut the long story short when our LORD Jesus Christ permitted trials into my life looking back I now realise the damage, the whipping and the shame I brought to our Master LORD Jesus Christ.

Now I still have loads of friends in the world and since I became a true follower of our LORD Jesus Christ and denying all fleshly lusts and stopped all that I used to do through the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ.

Whenever I try and minister or try and meet up with my so called friend (at the gym, tennis) its a different ball game now they have truly seen the difference and any opportunity they have to say anything against the body of Christ or when I say something out offline that contradicts something through my ignorance they are quick to jump on my throat and say we Christians are all liars and hypocrites, they tell me that this change iv become will not last and I will comeback to my old ways etc.

I have realised through the Word that I had to cut off most of my friends before they polluted me all I do now is phone them occasionally and minister the Word to them and pray for them all the time in my prayers.

I do not know what our LORD Jesus Christ intends with this pastor but we have to go back and look at what the WORD of our LORD Jesus Christ says in the bible.

The Holy Spirit brought me into remembrance with Moses and Paul. The Word of our LORD Jesus Christ says that Moses forsook his privileges in the courts of pharaoh in Egypt when he knew his brethren. The Word (bible) didn’t say he then went back into pharaoh court and tried to convince pharaoh and the Egyptians that what they were doing to the Israelites was wrong while having a glass of wine or cup of tea with them at the same time.

When Paul got converted the Word of our LORD Jesus Christ said he immediately started preaching that our LORD Jesus Christ is LORD of all and KING of kings the bible didn’t say afterwards he went back to the Pharisees, put up his feet and discussed that he saw our LORD Jesus Christ and He told him why are you persecuting me etc.

Using my self as an example my friend don’t see me anymore coming out with them and doing what they do and still proclaiming I was a follower of our LORD Jesus Christ. When I used to do that I was not a testimony more of a shame to the body of Christ and I didn’t realise it.

I hardly have any friends (secular friends that is) now every time I see them I tell them all what our LORD Jesus Christ wants to do for them and that eternal life has been brought free of charge by the blood of the Lamb and they just need to receive it.

I believe all we followers of our LORD Jesus Christ need to start praying because this pastor turned rapper again as a huge, huge youth following. May I say that I love the art of rap and I now choose what I listen to carefully but when I hear all the swearing and what not I just turn it off or switch it somewhere else?

I don’t know what answer I would give a non-believer who asks me about this pastor? Any advice or suggestions are very welcome

  Praise be to our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I was recently talking to a friend an unbeliever about our Master Jesus Christ. Telling him how Jesus Christ loves us all and want to give all eternal life.

He then mentioned that we Christians are hypocrites and mentioned about a rapper (Mase Betha) who turned Pastor Mase of SANE mininistries in Atlanta (it was a miraculous conversion) and it brought Glory to our LORD Jesus Christ.

Mt friend now told me that this same paster as gone back to rapping (rapper)

I was unawre of all this and I started reading about this on the internet and different articles.

First of all the person in question is not relevant. Im more intrested in what is going on with this pastor

My question is that if Jesus Christ as converted this pastor (as his own church and everything) would our LORD Jesus Christ then tell you to go back into the lifestyle He saved you from. I am a bit confused myself because I dont want to judge and our LORD Jesus Christ works in many ways we dont understand.

Will this be sending a wrong message to non believers especially the young ones OR is this a plan that our LORD Jesus Christ is using to reach thousands of unsaved people through this once famous rapper turned pastor and now turned rapper minus all the swearing, money and sex.

5 do you pay tithe on loan money Mal 3:8 gab 112538
  PT II continued from gab
Our Lord Jesus Christ said in His Word come to me for My yoke and burden is easy.
All this stuff about tithes and what to give and not what to give are all lies fro the pit of hell. The bible says you should always give a tenth of your gross (tithes of all) income this is a minimum basis and the New testament never changed that by saying just give what you can as long as its from your heart. You should always and I repeat ALWAYS give a tenth of your income (gross not after your bills). If you own your own company then pay tithes from the salary you pay yourself. What ever you then give after that is offering.
Now if you borrowed money I strongly believe you should give out of it to our LORD Jesus. As Christian24 said pray over the portion and make it an offering unto God for the purpose in which you want to use the borrowed money for so that the Hand of JEHOVAH will be in your plans. In my case I made it a seed to Debt cancellation in my life. All my debts are all cleared all that I don’t probably own now is my house (GODS house that He gave me) in which the LORD still provides for me to pay the mortgage And I have no doubts that Jesus will certainly make me own it and not only that I believe faithfully that He shall make me own many, many more houses debt free.
Please saints any chance you have to give onto the LORD do it because He will give back in a thousand way and the blessing will overtake you. Forget that entire headache about churches asking for money etc the gospel need to me preached and spread to all nations and money is part of what is needed. And yes we build beautiful churches so what? If our homes can be beautiful shouldn’t we make the House of GOD even the more luxurious? I know there have been cases in the church were money has been mis-managed and abused. But I would rather obey the commandment of the LORD Jesus Christ than start cracking my head about what churches do with money. Any church that does mis-mange money GOD knows all things and will judge them it’s not for us to judge.
David said in 1 chronicles 29
10Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 11Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine ; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 12Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. 13Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. 14But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
Just look at your money this way souls are being saved and if anything we should be thanking GOD for His abundant mercies for putting in a command of tithes and thank Jesus Christ earnestly for He has chosen (given us the opportunity) to use you/our substance (tithes, offering, first fruits, your time and anything to glorify the name of Jesus Christ in this rebellious world) to use Pastors and Evangelists to win souls to salvation and get them in Heaven. Just this thought alone is gratifying for me. It will be a joy to see that e hell is as empty has possible on the day of judgement.
Jesus Christ Bless you all. AMEN

6 do you pay tithe on loan money Mal 3:8 gab 112537
  Hi Brethrens,

All Glory, Power, Might and Majesty belong only to our LORD and Master Jesus Christ for He is such a Good and Divine GOD. Plentiful in mercies and sacrificed Himself for the gift of grace which none of us deserve but the WORD says for GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son whom He loved so much.

Greetings to all the brethrens and saint that believe that our Master Jesus Christ is the one and only true GOD and KING and LORD of all.

I thank GOD for His wonderful Holy Spirit that directs us in the right and just path and constantly reminds us that Jesus Christ the everlasting KING of kings and LORD of lords is risen and lives for ever more.

When I posted this message I wasn’t sure what to do and wanted some wisdom but now I truly know why the Holy Spirit chose for me to go through this path so as to let our LORD and Master Jesus Christ get all the glory and be worshipped.

Giving the offering out of my loan or borrowed money is one of the best things I ever did in my life. I thank the Holy Spirit for enabling me to listen to Christian24 that all and all belongs to the LORD GOD Jesus Christ whether borrowed or not. The Bible says in psalm 24 'The earth is the LORD', and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.’
Christian24 I thank GOD for giving me the grace to listen to you so I can share me testimony. When I gave the offering no sooner did I give that the LORD almighty provided me with a wonderful job? Just to explain I had a very good paid job before but was going through a lot of politics at that work place that was weighing me down and I had been seeking GOD to deliver me from the oppression I was facing from the devil through colleagues. You can imagine how down and the state of mind I was in. My finances were so mis-managed because of the issue I had at this work place that I was in a lot, lot of debt. Hence why I borrowed quite a large amount of money). The bank gave me this money because they knew I had a very well paid job. They try and trap you even the more. The devil is a liar because Jesus knows how to deliver His own. I didn’t know this at the time.
Now you can imagine that the last thing I probably wanted to do was to give to GOD but again I thank Jesus Christ for is grace which he gave that made me realise even when you go through persecutions, problems and when we are at our lowest we should still obey the Word of our LORD. I knew I had to give despite my surroundings. GOD enabled me to be able to give before so why shouldn’t I now despite my circumstances
Apostle Paul said that count it all Joy because our Father in heaven knows and sees everything. He knows our pains, He knows our joys, He knows our anxieties, He knows everything because He has been through it all Himself while on this earth that He formed with is own hands. Cut the long story short our LORD Jesus Christ when He repaid me back provided me with a job that is a little under from a six figure salary. Not only did Jesus Christ give me the salary beyond my expectations but He also gave me the job, which was exactly what I’d always wanted to do as a next step in my career, and He also put me around colleagues that are helpers to me. I was not even qualified for this job and had applied to this job more than 3 times before. Not only did Jesus now give me the job but I was give the job with the highest pay intended.

The bible says you should always give a tenth of your gross (tithes of all) income this is a minimum basis and the New testament never changed that by saying just give what you can as long as its from your heart. You should always and I repeat ALWAYS give a tenth of your income (gross not after your bills). If you own your own company then pay tithes from the salary you pay yourself. What ever you then give after that is offering.
Now if you borrowed money I strongly believe you should give out of it to our LORD Jesus. As Christian24 said pray over the portion and make it an offering unto God for the purpose in which you want to use the borrowed money for so that the Hand of JEHOVAH will be in your plans. In my case I made it a seed to Debt cancellation in my life. All my debts are all cleared all that I don’t probably own now is my house (GODS house that He gave me) in which the LORD still provides for me to pay the mortgage And I have no doubts that Jesus will certainly make me own it and not only that I believe faithfully that He shall make me own many, many more houses debt free.
Please saints any chance you have to give onto the LORD do it because He will give back in a thousand way and the blessing will overtake you. Forget that entire headache about churches asking for money etc the gospel need to me preached and spread to all nations and money is part of what is needed. And yes we build beautiful churches so what? If our homes can be beautiful shouldn’t we make the House of GOD even the more luxurious? I know there have been cases in the church were money has been mis-managed and abused. But I would rather obey the commandment of the LORD Jesus Christ than start cracking my head about what churches do with money. Any church that does mis-mange money GOD knows all things and will judge them it’s not for us to judge.
David said in 1 chronicles 29
10Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 11Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine ; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 12Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. 13Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. 14But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
Just look at your money this way souls are being saved and if anything we should be thanking GOD for His abundant mercies for putting in a command of tithes and thank Jesus Christ earnestly for He has chosen (given us the opportunity) to use you/our substance (tithes, offering, first fruits, your time and anything to glorify the name of Jesus Christ in this rebellious world) to use Pastors and Evangelists to win souls to salvation and get them in Heaven. Just this thought alone is gratifying for me. It will be a joy to see that e hell is as empty has possible on the day of judgement.
Jesus Christ Bless you all. AMEN

12 the truth about tithes Mal 3:8 gab 112474
  Hi Brethrens,

All Glory, Power, Might and Majesty belong only to our LORD and Master Jesus Christ for He is such a Good and Divine GOD. Plentiful in mercies and sacrificed Himself for the gift of grace which none of us deserve but the WORD says for GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son whom He loved so much.

Greetings to all the brethrens and saint that believe that our Master Jesus Christ is the one and only true GOD and KING and LORD of all.

I thank GOD for His wonderful Holy Spirit that directs us in the right and just path and constantly reminds us that Jesus Christ the everlasting KING of kings and LORD of lords is risen and lives for ever more.

When I posted this message I wasn’t sure what to do and wanted some wisdom but now I truly know why the Holy Spirit chose for me to go through this path so as to let our LORD and Master Jesus Christ get all the glory and be worshipped.

Giving the offering out of my loan or borrowed money is one of the best things I ever did in my life. I thank the Holy Spirit for enabling me to listen to Christian24 that all and all belongs to the LORD GOD Jesus Christ whether borrowed or not. The Bible says in psalm 24 'The earth is the LORD', and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.’
Christian24 I thank GOD for giving me the grace to listen to you so I can share me testimony. When I gave the offering no sooner did I give that the LORD almighty provided me with a wonderful job? Just to explain I had a very good paid job before but was going through a lot of politics at that work place that was weighing me down and I had been seeking GOD to deliver me from the oppression I was facing from the devil through colleagues. You can imagine how down and the state of mind I was in. My finances were so mis-managed because of the issue I had at this work place that I was in a lot, lot of debt. Hence why I borrowed quite a large amount of money). The bank gave me this money because they knew I had a very well paid job. They try and trap you even the more. The devil is a liar because Jesus knows how to deliver His own. I didn’t know this at the time.
Now you can imagine that the last thing I probably wanted to do was to give to GOD but again I thank Jesus Christ for is grace which he gave that made me realise even when you go through persecutions, problems and when we are at our lowest we should still obey the Word of our LORD. I knew I had to give despite my surroundings. GOD enabled me to be able to give before so why shouldn’t I now despite my circumstances
Apostle Paul said that count it all Joy because our Father in heaven knows and sees everything. He knows our pains, He knows our joys, He knows our anxieties, He knows everything because He has been through it all Himself while on this earth that He formed with is own hands. Cut the long story short our LORD Jesus Christ when He repaid me back provided me with a job that is a little under from a six figure salary. Not only did Jesus Christ give me the salary beyond my expectations but He also gave me the job, which was exactly what I’d always wanted to do as a next step in my career, and He also put me around colleagues that are helpers to me. I was not even qualified for this job and had applied to this job more than 3 times before. Not only did Jesus now give me the job but I was give the job with the highest pay intended.

  Question:

Hi,

Should borrowed money from e.g bank be tithed or part of it offered as a offering.

I personally think it should because all things come from GOD and you can not outgive what you give to our LORD Jesus Christ.

  Hi Saints,

May the LORD GOD Jesus Christ be with you all.

I sort of psted this question twice. Here is a cut and paste fron the reply from my other post.

I agree with Christian as this can be used as a offering unto our LORD Jesus Christ as seed to debt cancellation. After all everything belong to Him wether I borrowed it or not. Jesus Christ owns all the banks, creditors, governments or whatever they may be. Satan is an imposter whose doom as been written down and he know it.

I just wanted some wisdom in this from fellow saints.

Answer: Good question. Personally I believe that anything I receive I received from God, so I would give him a portion of everything I received, but not with hasitation or sorrow. Be glad because you know that He can increase by many/all means. Pray over the portion and make it an offering unto God, let that be the seed to Debt cancellation in your life. Declare that you will no longer be the borrower but the lender.

Christian24

GOD Bless you.

I pray to GOD to forgive me if any part of me by asking this question is hesitation(I belive GOD sees my heart that I just want wisdom in this situation.

  Hi Chritian,

GOD Bless you.

I personally share your view as well. I regularly tithe with my personal income.

I pray to GOD to forgive me if any part of me by asking this question is hesitation(I belive GOD sees my heart that I just want wisdom in this situation.

I kind of asked posted this question twice. Here are the replies from the other posts
------------------
Answer: gab: Borrowed money is not a gift and it is not income that is earned. When you borrow money you incur a debt that must be paid. The money is never really yours. It belongs to your creditor. If you use borrowed money in tithing, you are paying God with someone else's money. Should future circumstances make it impossible to pay back your loan, it would mean that your creditor, not you, did your tithing for you. Conclusion: You can give only what is yours to give, and what is yours to give is what is legally and righfully yours, not what actually belongs to someone else. This, mind you, is merely my view. Someone else may have a different, and better, answer to your inquiry. --Hank

Thank you for the reply.

I would have assumed that because I got the loan that its an increase e.g i loaned 10k of the bank. shouldnt i be paying 10 percent of tithe from this increase(even if i will be paying it back) or should this be an offering if im not mistaken

regards,
gab
-------------------------
Note: When you negotiate a loan, you don't increase your assets, you increase your liabilities and decrease your net worth. Think about it. You now have incurred the obligation not only to repay the loan but to pay interest on it as well. --Hank
-------------------
Answer: Scripture states that we should tithe all our "gain."
Considering the fact that you are going to pay back a loan, it is not "gain."

A gift, or earned interest would be gain, but not something borrowed.

The very fact that you asked this question indicates that you are following the right path, that inner voice, the gut feeling, THE SPIRIT.

I'd say that you already had a good idea what the correct answer was. If so, learn to follow that Spirit, "walk in the Spirit." You will NEVER go wrong if you do.

God Bless
