1 | Is tithing a command for chriatians? | 2 Cor 9:7 | DocTrinsograce | 217269 | ||
You asked, "Who receives the promises to Abraham? The Church or Israel?" False dichotomy... the proper answer is that the elect receive the promises (Galatians 3:29). If need be, why not start this under a different thread... the old one is way too long! |

2 | Is tithing a command for chriatians? | 2 Cor 9:7 | Beja | 217270 | ||
Doc, I almost did restart it, but I feared some would want to know what came before and would need the connection. There are many who believe that the Jews are destined to receive rewards outside of those which are to all believers through Christ by virtue of their being Jews. The argue that they have specially land promises coming especially, because they believe that the promises to Abraham are specifically to national Israel, not to all elect in Christ. It is this view that I am attempting to refute. So given that context I think the question is a fair one. But truely, in "church" I do mean all elect of all time, including those of Jewish decent. In Christ, Beja |

Hi, Pastor Beja... I see. Long threads seem to bifurcate repeatedly, diverging from the topic at hand. Hence, I will say something that diverges from the topic at hand. :-) Okay, I'll only do it for a moment, but I'll assert it most strenuously: All of the elect, whoever they may be from Adam through the last human to be born, will be saved through only one means: through grace along, by faith alone, in the atonement of Christ alone. The notion that there are various means of salvation is promulgated by various groups, but it does not hold up to the light of Scripture. There is simply no other means by which a man may stand before a holy God. It is the single means that He Himself has provided. Okay, back on topic. :-) Thank you for your indulgence. Please continue, sir. In Him, Doc |
