1 | 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 |

2 | 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 |

3 | AGE OF ACCOUNTIBILITY | Bible general Archive 1 | wordoer | 27958 | ||
Hello Nolan, I looked these words up in an english dictionary and the words are defined just the way I supposed, and intended that they come across. age- the time of life at which some particular qualification, power,or capacity rests.I give as example twenty years old for military service, and accountability for sin. accountability- subject to giving account;answerable. syn. responsible. So by those definitions, I can see in the scriptures I gave previously that those men twenty and older were held accountable for their actions (which was sin to them, disobedience to the Lord), while those younger than twenty were pardoned and not held responsible for the grumblings and disobedience of their fathers.Thereby setting a Biblical precedent of "Age of accountability",I hope this will clear things up for you. Can you give me any scripture to refute what I have explained ? They would be greatly appreciated and would deepen my understanding on the subject. Thank you, wordoer |

4 | AGE OF ACCOUNTIBILITY | Bible general Archive 1 | wordoer | 28138 | ||
Hello Nolan, Let's look at Romans 3:20 it states,"through the Law comes a knowledge of sin". Therefore knowledge of sin comes from the Law. The law is right, transgressing law is wrong. 1 John 3:4 states that sin is a transgression of law.KJV ,NASB says "sin is lawlessness" basically with no law there can be no sin. Now I can agree that it is absurd to make the statement that you are not capable of sin before you are 20. I am addressing the "age of accountability for sin against God", Not the age that people are capable of commiting sin. You have added that into the equation for some reason? That would be a different part of this discussion and not equal in any way to the question at hand. I will try to convey my understanding about children and sin. God has an order ,a way things are supposed to be. The parent / child relationship is part of that order. God gives man and wife children to raise up. Man (parent) has the responsibility of teaching and correcting the child as he grows. Therefore, to the child, the parent is the Law. When the child does wrong, punishment is given from the parent, this leads to repentance for the child, because the desire to do wrong or displease the parent should outweigh the punishment that will be suffered.There we have a sin -punishment/correction - repentance scenario.Sometimes children do things that they don't know are wrong that is what this stage in life is for, to learn. If the parents do not do their charge in rearing the child , Who suffers? practically everybody! We have all been around unruly children, This follows for all aspects of life. The order for man under Christ is the same type of situation.God gives the Law ,follow the law recieve blessings, when man transgresses the Law, punishment or correction leads to Understanding of the Law, Man desires to please God, Repentance that will bring into right standing with God.I may not have got this in perfect script ,but please acknowledge the idea. If you would read my example, I explained that God did not hold the children (under 20) accountable for sins, theirs or their parents. Again, I did not say the people under twenty did not sin.When the man is 20, he comes out from the covering of his earthly father,at this time the Heavenly Father does the punishing and correcting. I can tell you that a 3 year old would have no idea of Gods law. Some people go their whole lives not understanding. I would like to know why you don't like the "way", I came to my conclusion? wordoer |

5 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | wordoer | 73795 | ||
Hello EdB, Thank you for your response and concern in this matter. I believe the scripture is very clear about not letting any man deceive us. I’m no Bible expert, But, let me run this by you, for your consideration. I am reading along in the Word of God , and I come across these references to the book of Jasher, that two great men of God, Joshua and David are directing my attention to. (As a means of validating what they are saying.) So , my interest is aroused, and I search out and obtain a copy of this book. I will admit I have not read the whole way through the book as my studies send me off in different directions to find information. I was a little concerned last night after reading Taleb’s reply, where it was pointed out to me that neither reference was valid. What?!!! I knew that the account of Joshua was in there so I looked at that first, and yes, it’s still there. If I could talk to Joshua, I would tell him, Yes, I’ve read of the account of which you speak, and it is written in Jasher. My main concern was David’s reference in 2Sam 1:18, I had not checked it out, ( Forgive me, and Thank you for helping to keep me honest). So, I went and started reading, and guess what, I found it! So now also, if I could talk to David, I could tell him, Yes , I have seen where it is written. Now , I’m dry, what I need is this, “more than a little proof”, you speak of. I mean if this book is wrong, or contrary to the scriptures, I want to check it out and make sure before I toss it out. But, if it is true or at least worthy of noting, I would like to be able to glean information from it. For example, the name of Lot’s wife. I also doubt the writer of Jasher forgot to write anything as it was apparently written before Joshua and David referred to it. I realize that this book (Jasher) is not the inspired Word of God.( If a subject of disagreement arose between God’s Word and Jasher, The Holy Scriptures would win out hands down.) This does however appear to be an excellent history book, with between the lines information of early Biblical accounts. Also consider this, God’s Word says it is written in Jasher, Is it not calling God a liar, If we deny the what the Word tells us. I looked and these things are written in the Book of Jasher. Now you have two contrary accounts of the references to this book, My account is agreeable with scripture, Biblical experts refute it as a deception. Someone is lying, You judge for yourself. I will provide the references if you are interested, Or you could do like I did and check it out for yourself. Anyway, Who would waste time and read through a book that has been labeled as deception just to check to see if the Bible experts are telling the truth. Let no man deceive you with empty words. I want to add that it was not my intention to defend the Book of Jasher, ( I do think it was unduly maligned) and it will have to stand on its own. But to defend the Word of God , I hope you can see where Biblical experts have denied the Word of God. Yours in truth, wordoer |

6 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | wordoer | 73891 | ||
Hello EdB, I want to acknowledge that I do see your point, I realize it could be a fraud , But, I need evidence to look at to study and prove it out. (I have Taleb's link) If it is a fraud, I will acknowledge it as such and post a retraction ,stating among other things that it is possible that Lot's wife's name is not "Ado", as I posted previously. I wish to investigate this to it's end, and solidly establish (at least in my mind), the fraudulency or the credibility of this 1840 version of "The Book of Jasher". I would like your opinion on this though, If in studying these contradictory notes, I find the "Book of Jasher" to be credible or fraudulent, should I post the results at the referenced scriptures in the Bible, on this website? I do thank you for your response, wordoer |

7 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | wordoer | 73892 | ||
Hello Taleb, Don't worry, I will stay in God's Word, But, like I said, it says it in the Word, I am merely investigating to see if it is true. I did some investigating and, I only know of two different books a 1829 (maybe the "Jewish cultists" version, I don't know what that term implies, but, I see the fruit of it, lies) version which is most apparent to be a fraud. However, The 1840 version (which I have)appears to be credible. I looked at the link you provided (Thanks) and have read some of the so called contradictions and problems, but, I started investigating and this 1840 version is proving to be more credible at each contradition that is listed. Some of them I have to answer with "So what?",I would like to offer this one to you. This is clearly a deception, This is the statement made, "Simeon could not be bound in Jasher 51:37 but in Genesis. 42:24 Simeon is bound before their eyes." This is clearly contrary to scripture, Wrong. Apparently, and according to the writing in Jasher, Simeon was a very strong man. And Jasher affirms the Holy scripture that says Simeon is "bound" a few verses later. with this; And Manassah laid hold of Simeon and he seized him violently and bound him and brought him into the house of confinement,... So Simeon is bound in the Book of Jasher! One lie brought into the light. Not a contradiction at all. Boom!!!, I think that one was blown out of the water. The others appear to be of the same nature, some are a little trickier than others but I will examine them carefully. If they are all as easy as the one listed, This will be a piece of cake. JW's are supposed to be coming back, I wasn't able to talk to them when they stopped by last week. I like that, and believe it is true about knowing the real, before looking at the couterfeit. I am looking for the proof, that this 1840 version is a fraud, If it doesn't materialize, I should still reject it as a fraud? I do appreciate your response,in Christian love, wordoer |

11 | Was this promise fulfilled? | Josh 1:4 | wordoer | 148624 | ||
Greetings kalos, Josh 23:14 "Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word of all the good words which the LORD your God spoke concerning you has failed; all have been fulfilled for you, not one of them has failed. Josh 23:15 "It shall come about that just as all the good words which the LORD your God spoke to you have come upon you, so the LORD will bring upon you all the threats, until He has destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you. It really sounds like He kept all His promises, I would have to question your reliable sources in light of the scripture. Rom 3:4 May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, "THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED."

12 | What are all of His benefits? | Ps 103:2 | wordoer | 189920 | ||
Hello BradK, Well, it was not exactly what I was looking for. I am trying to compile a list of all of His benefits, to be able bring them to rememberance. Psalm 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits;... As Spurgeon says; "Observe that he calls all that is within him to remember all the Lord's benefits." But fails to tell His benefits. What are they? Such as; He preserves the souls of His godly ones, and delivers us from the hand of the wicked, "Ps 97:10 Hate evil, you who love the LORD, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked." I will hopefully be back shortly with a compilation of all of His benefits. I do believe that these are guidelines to follow to make us wise. 1 Cor 10:11 Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Thank Jesus, we have His Word. Hey, there's another benefit. I think this compilation would make a handy little booklet or flyer for His people to reflect upon. Thank you for your effort, wordoer |

16 | Why did John the Baptist baptize Jesus? | Matt 3:15 | wordoer | 29200 | ||
I just want to point out that it was an example to us who desire to do the Lord's will, because Jesus would not ask us to do anything that He was not willing to do himself. Baptism is an act of submissiveness and humility. Are we not to be imitators of Christ? This would also bring us under this fulfillment of all righteousness (no longer sporting our worthless rags of righteousness, But being covered in the atoning blood), if we were baptized FOR the remission of sins, clothing ourselves with Christ, Gal 3:27 (even His righteousness). Righteousness would be acting in accord with divine or moral law to be justifiable, or in simple terms- doing the right thing to be free from guilt and sin. If you have forgiveness of sins you would also be free from the guilt of such. This is also the time that the spirit descended upon Him, Just like in Acts 2:38, "...and you shall recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit." Looks like a pretty good example to me. What other way is there in the scripture to recieve the Holy Spirit? wordoer |

18 | Tithe vs Debts | 2 Corinthians | wordoer | 189605 | ||
Hello BradK, I thank you for your observation, my response was intented to be simple and basic, Does "oversimplistic", mean "unscriptural"? And you are right, Mal 3:10 is not directed to the church, It is directed to the sons of Jacob. Mal 3:6 "For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. Mal 3:7 "From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you," says the LORD of hosts. "But you say, 'How shall we return?' 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. Mal 3:9 "You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you! American has really been on the upswing especially in recent years, don't you think, there is so much more degradation, crime and every other sort of evil coming upon us, it is disgusting. I will note that He says "tithes and offerings". Defining "tithe", it is the tenth part in kind or money as a voluntary contribution or as a tax especially in support of a religious organization. So please note that by definition the tithe is voluntary or as you might say "free-will", any more than the tenth would be your offering, would it not? If you just gave an "offering", that could be any amount, and may not even constitute as a tithe (if it were less than a tenth part). I'm not really getting the point you are trying to make with the scripture references from 2 Corinthians, it seems that these people were poor, but poor people can still pay a tithe. You tithe from your increase, if your increase is say, a dime, you would give a penny. It is really simple, if you believe it. Just as you would give out of your wealth, in like manner you could give out of your poverty. wordoer |

19 | Tithe vs Debts | 2 Corinthians | wordoer | 189736 | ||
Hello kalos, I would like to address these points. Quoting from the article; “'The New Testament nowhere mentions the tithe system and nowhere recommends that New Covenant believers follow it.” I would disagree with that statement, Matt 23:23, Heb 7:8-9 mentions the tithe, that is New Testament. The people were aware of what it meant, and Paul gave instruction on the subject. 1 Cor 16:1-2, Also in, Luke 18:12 '… I pay tithes of all that I get.', This verse is saying “I pay a tenth part of all I receive“. Now, I understand this man was trying to exalt himself, but this verse has a secondary teaching, he knew of the tithe, and people were aware of it. It also did not say whether or not the other man had tithed, but Jesus was pointing out his justification in the humble position he took before God, in not puffing himself up by his own deeds. quote , "The Christian church took the 10 percent figure from the Old Testament tithe and applied it as a “recommended minimum” for Christians in their giving." How arrogant, to teach such a thing, were they trying to get rich off of their own people? Or, were they were giving Holy Spirit inspired scriptural instruction, as to how to give properly, as they had prospered, to receive the blessings that God would give them, and to prosper even as John wanted for the saints, 3 John 1:2. What a lovely gesture. quote , "However, New Covenant believers should not feel obligated to always give 10 percent. They should give as they are able, “in keeping with his income”." They say "in keeping with his income", that is exactly what was being taught by Paul, 1 Cor 16:1 “Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also. On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper,…” The NASB translation says, "as he prospers", that was what the tithe came from, what you had prospered. How could one such as Paul, instruct without some sort of directive? The teaching on tithing is found in the Old Testament. Or could Paul have been the first to teach, give out of your need? Quote, “It all depends on the ability of the giver and the needs of the church.” What the Bible says is; concerning the collection for the saints, 1 Cor. 16:1-2 “On the first day of the week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.” Follow the Bible instruction, would Paul have taught, that if you were in excessive debt, not to give as much the next time they pass the plate, I don't think so, and I don't think that it is putting someone under compulsion, if you are teaching them correct, and proper ways to give of their increase, to tithe. It is in the definition of the word, it means one tenth. If you receive 100 percent, how hard can it be to give 10 percent back to God, He only wants a small portion of your increase. He gives you air to breathe, strength to move about, and the ability to prosper, He is not asking you to give something you don't have. Quote, "'Each and every Christian should diligently pray and seek God’s wisdom for how much he or she should give (James 1:5).” (James 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.) I would agree, This scripture is talking about getting God’s wisdom, diligently pray AND SEEK God's wisdom, What does God's Word (His wisdom) say about how much an individual should give? Duet 14:22,29, 2 Chr. 31:3,6, Gen. 28:22. Quote, “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2Cor 9:7). I don't feel reluctant or under compulsion to pay the tithe, I gladly give that portion. I am telling you, so that you may prosper. Pay the tithe! However, I must admit I have my own selfish reasons, I want there to be; food in His house, and all these things that He has promised us, who are His. Read Malachi Chapters 3 and 4. So , What does the Bible say about tithing? Every where I look concerning this subject it says to give a tenth of your increase back to God. Have I harmonized the scripture so that it is agreeable to itself? Or, have I done violence to His Word by giving you the truth and then nullifying it by leavening it, so it is confusing and of none effect. Praise Jesus, he doesn't put a heavy burden on us, wordoer |

20 | 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 |
