I am so confused!? I am new to all of this and have been going to church for about 8 months now. Not knowing much in the Bible, going to church, at first, was a real eye opener , and made me eager to read God's word for myself. Now that I am devoted in prayer and Bible reading/studying , the more I learn , the more I wonder if this church is right for me??? I am not judging those in the church nor am I judging the pastor, I'm just not sure I believe the way they do. We are taught that the Law of Moses is abolished, that Christ at Calvary ended the "old" law , but then we are taught to abide by all 10 commandments...even though we are then taught that there is no Sabbath day anymore. And if the Law of Moses is abolished , why are we taught to TITHE? I am a full believer in GIVING. I definetly think that the Lord has blessed us , and we need to be thankful. But when it is stressed SO much that the old law does not pertain to us, then we get a sermon about how we are robbing God, because some in the church do not give 10percent and follow all the commandments, just NOT THE SABBATH??? I am just confused? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. |

Believer- my lunch break is about over so I will give a quick answer and then check back later this evening to see if you have received feedback from others. You are on the right track friend. Don't loose heart; don't be discouraged. The Lord saved me many years ago and many years ago I was EXACTLY where you are at. Couldn't make sense of it all. Not to worry. The Scriptures are the living words of God. They do not change in meaning or intent from one generation to the next. Trust in that as you continue. You are doing exactly the right thing in reading and studying for yourself- praise the Lord for that. Don't be set back by apparent contradictions. Currently your focused on two different things. The Old Covenant and the New Covenant are not indications that the principles, character, etc. of God have changed. Take a look at the Ten Commandments. It is just as wrong (for example) to murder today as it was in OT times. There is no New Testament command to give 10 percent of anything. The principles of giving, however, are the same. This is just food for thought at this time while you wait for further feedback which I assure you will come. God bless, Jeff |
