1 | Where in the new testament.... | Bible general Archive 4 | wordoer | 225835 | ||
Hello DD4Truth, Here are specific mentions of tithing, in the New Testament, Matt 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. Luke 11:42 "But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe of mint and rue and every kind of garden herb, and yet disregard justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. Luke 18:12 'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.' Heb 7:8 In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on. Heb 7:9 And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who received tithes, paid tithes, Now, the tithe is a tenth part of any thing. Tithe actually means a tenth, or to [deci]mate.(deci equals 10). Mal 3:8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, 'How have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings. 25 Mal 3:10 "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. wordoer |

2 | Does God create some people evil from bi | Genesis | wordoer | 225834 | ||
Ps 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth. Is 54:16 "Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows the fire of coals And brings out a weapon for its work; And I have created the destroyer to ruin. Also, Jer 18. Rom 9:22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? He has made some evil, and appointed them to destruction, and then 2 Pet Chapter 2. Me thinks you read correctly. wordoer |

3 | Trinity or Oneness? | Bible general Archive 4 | wordoer | 225396 | ||
These verses make an idea of a trinity to be very restrictive, not allowing others to be one as Jesus requested of His Father. John 17:11 "I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are. 151 John 17:22 "The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; One. wordoer |

4 | is this gentiles? | 1 Pet 2:9 | wordoer | 225068 | ||
The word "gentile", simply means, "nations". It helps to understand that God divored Israel, but He did not divorce Judah. Jer 3:8 "And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a writ of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and was a harlot also. He divorced and sent Israel out of their nation, they were lost in time through changes in their names down through history, and became a multitude of nations ( Just as God had promised Abraham in Gen. 17), they passed through the Caucaus Mountains into the Southern part of Russia, before migrating west. But, before they had gotten that far they were in Pontias, Galatia, Capadocia, and Bethania. That is where Peter, James, and others were writing to those Chosen People check out the first verses of those letters.( they (Israel) had been rejected, read Hosea 1:4, and then verse 10, it should start to become clear!). Wow, There it is in a nut shell, so much more to tell, not enough room, or time. This is the thing Jesus spoke of - I have sheep that are not of this flock, therefore the jews counceled among themselves, He is not intending to go among the gentiles and teach them also, is he? He came to seek and save that which was lost, What was lost? Israel. wordoer |

5 | Lying justified? | Josh 2:5 | wordoer | 225067 | ||
Hello Just Read Mark, I think of the Hebrew midwives. They were directed to kill the male children of the Israelites by the King. Ex 1:15 Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other was named Puah; Ex 1:16 and he said, "When you are helping the Hebrew women to give birth and see them upon the birthstool, if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live." 2 Ex 1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but let the boys live. 3 Ex 1:18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?" (the lie) Ex 1:19 The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can get to them." 5 Ex 1:20 So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and became very mighty. 6 Ex 1:21 Because the midwives feared God, He established households for them. Sounds like they lied, and God blessed themby establishing houses for them, They feared God, and He blessed them for it. We are under no obligation to do something detrimental to our own flesh. I guess the question is, "what did they fear of God, as opposed to the kings directive?" Was it, "Thou shalt not kill". What was Pharoah commanding? Thank you, wordoer |

7 | Would God separate a marriage? | Mal 2:16 | wordoer | 223731 | ||
Here is the scriptural account that God divorced His wife Israel, But He didn't divorce Judah. Jer 3:8 "And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a writ of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and was a harlot also. I believe divorce separates a marriage, so I answer, "Yes". God hates divorce, but He did it. wordoer |

Could it be, "Jesus Christ", Ps 135:13 Your name, O LORD, is everlasting, Your remembrance, O LORD, throughout all generations. 5 Is 56:5 To them I will give in My house and within My walls a memorial, And a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name which will not be cut off.

Hello m123, Brad is correct, it is the sheep, and allowing the Bible to explain itself: Matthew 25:33 shows the ones on the right as - the sheep. Jer 50:6 "My people have become lost sheep; Their shepherds have led them astray. They have made them turn aside on the mountains; They have gone along from mountain to hill And have forgotten their resting place. 4 Matt 10:6 but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 5 Matt 15:24 But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." His people Israel are what is refered to in scripture as "lost sheep". All people are not sheep, the Bible also shows that the goats, birds, snakes, etc... Are not his people. hope this helps, wordoer |

Hello puppytoes, There is a point in time this will or has happened. But, the term "rapture" is not mentioned in scripture. What may be enlightening, would be to look up the definition of the word, "rapture", which is NOT mentioned in scripture. Hope this helps, wordoer |

Hello MAMAMETAL, Now here is a contradiction, Baptism now saves us. "1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, " Now what will you do?

15 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | wordoer | 220636 | ||
Hello BradK, I assure you I am not confusing the promises made to Israel with the church, and I agree at this time that Mal. 3:8-9 is not a proof-text command or promise to the Body of Christ, it is however a promise to Israel. I was just reading in Hebrews Chapter 7, and the context of the tithe was giving a tenth of Abrahams spoils or increase to Melchizedek. It is strange that this is relating back to the OT. It seems things haven't changed from OT to NT and the basis on which the Law is set that obedience to it will bring blessings, and disobedience would bring a curse. I don't see at this time the tithe as a command, unless a requirement to recieve blessings would be considered a command, I have to look into that a little more, I'm still learning and growing. In answer to your last question, I thank Him for placing me in this position, and I would have to say that I am seeking the Kingdom. ( Matt 13:45). Now I would like to know if anyone reading could show me if the tithe is commanded. Thank you, wordoer |

16 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | wordoer | 220611 | ||
Hello BradK, Surely it is NT, the tithe is mentioned several times in the NT. The word itself means a tenth. To that I might add that God does not change. The scriptures you reference seem to show offerings which could be considered as part of, or above and beyond the tenth (tithe). Oh, yes we owe Him everything, but He has given to us to steward. You don't have to tithe, But the Lord offers a blessing to those that do, and a curse to those who don't. So I would agree with free will, for that reason I will to gladly give a tenth. This tithing message is actually a national one, as He says in Malachi 3:8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, 'How have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings. Mal 3:9 "You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you! wordoer |

17 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | wordoer | 220606 | ||
Hello unbrown, Yes, you are to tithe of your increase. Mal 3:10 "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. The tithe consists of ten percent of your increase, if you earn 100, you tithe 10. If you are being stolen from before (via tax), you give 10 percent of what your increase is. An example is if you end up with 65 denari, you tithe 6.5 denari. wordoer |

18 | ... | John 8:58 | wordoer | 214430 | ||
Hello humility, I do not think that is a parable, but rather a straight answer. The Name is the same, Jesus said in John 17:11, "I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are." Jesus is saying, God gave Him His Name, Jesus. Which is God's Name. Is 25:9 And it will be said in that day, "Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation." You must read in context - Jesus is simply asking a question in response, then making a straightforward statement. Matt 19:16 And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?" Matt 19:17 And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt 19:18 Then he *said to Him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER; YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY; YOU SHALL NOT STEAL; YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS; Matt 19:19 HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER; and YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." wordoer |

19 | This generation will not pass away.... | Bible general Archive 4 | wordoer | 214286 | ||
Hello Val, Jesus was speaking in Matt 24:32, and talking about a fig tree, and what would be happening to that tree and that He would be near at this certain time. The fig tree represents a nation/race of people. This was more than likely the race that would not pass away until all those things had come to pass, The references I gave were examples where men/nations are represented as trees. Israel is the grape vine, Judah the fig tree. I hope this helps, wordoer |

The Lockman Foundation does not pre-screen Postings. Postings are the opinions of others and may or may not represent a commonly held view. Hello eascusa, This definition is from the word "generation", as used in Matthew 24:34, By definition, first and foremost it means "race". genea; from 1096; race, family, generation. Just from simply reading the verse, and seeing the implication makes it difficult for it mean that this is just for a contemporary group of people standing there listening to the words of the Master, But rather their race. He was speaking with the disciples. Some will still maintain that it can mean nothing more than that definition of those living at that time. The history and events show that some of these things were going to happen a little farther along than before the death of the people He was speaking in front of. Some of the things also did happen in the lifetime of those contemporaries, but not all of them. As an example the same word is used in 1 Pet 2:9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE,… My FOUNDATION PUBLICATIONS NASB, gives the word “race”, in the verse reference for the passage in Matthew . In the context of the verses, He has just mentioned a fig tree in verse 32. Something to consder in light of this is; Jer 24:5 "Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans. Judg 9:14 "Finally all the trees said to the bramble, 'You come, reign over us!' Mark 8:24 And he looked up and said, "I see men, for I see them like trees, walking around." 10 Jude 1:12 These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted; wordoer |
