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 |

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. Everlasting is long. Jesus Christ, I believe is the longest name in any version. wordoer |

3 | 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 |

4 | 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 |

5 | 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 |

7 | 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 |

8 | 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 |

9 | 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 |

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." In the blessed name of Jesus Christ, wordoer |

12 | It isn't right to eat pig is it? | 1 Tim 4:4 | wordoer | 111596 | ||
Hello EdB, I am focused on this part of the Law, because it is relative to the question that started this thread, (unlike your question to me which would be more appropriate in another thread- concerning the whole of the Law, and what Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross). I am not as ignorant as you may think concerning the Law. I also believe you skirted my request by giving me chapter references, and no specific verse, It is time consuming to search through all those chapters (especially on a wild goose chase). My reason for asking you for references of your statement is because I am unaware of these laws you mention, specifically; (your statements in quotes), This is the first one I can’t find in God’s Law, “…and you do not touch your wife and make her leave the house when she has her period” Nor can this be located maybe it is worded differently? “You have two fridges one for dairy and one for meat” I believe I have heard of the great cheeseburger prohibition, But, I can't find it in scripture. “you never eat cheese burgers” “ If not, why do you keep part of the law but not all of it?” Are we looking at the same Law? You did mention some of God’s Laws and then saw fit to throw these in; I am just trying to make sure your statements are valid. I would like to be on the same page with you when I answer your question. I appreciate your blessings, wordoer |

Hello EdB, I have been intending on addressing your question to me, however I am unable to answer because I can find no scripture relating to several of the things you are assuming I should keep according to the Law. Please give me the scriptures you are refering to so that I may properly address your question as to why I keep "part" of the Law and not all of it. I am assuming these are all found in Leviticus. Thank you, wordoer |

14 | It isn't right to eat pig is it? | 1 Tim 4:4 | wordoer | 104301 | ||
Hello Steve, I believe that you already have a preconceived notion and are reading something into these verses; maybe it is because you think "unclean animals" are for "food". I cannot get around the teaching in Lev.11 and Deut.14, of which animals are clean (for food) and unclean (not for food). It reads so plainly that we are not to eat unclean animals. It seems that Sissy is at this point also; further study may be of benefit to others on the forum. For me it is going to far to assume that unclean animals are clean, without scripture to back it up. I only ask that you please refrain from using confusing terminology, I don't know what "ceremonially clean food" is, it only appears that you are trying to reclassify what God in His Word has already classified. The only hurdle for me in continuing this discussion is this question that needs to be addressed first and foremost, Where does the Word of God teach "unclean animals" are for "food"? Paul said we (I think Christians) are destroying speculation and taking every thought captive, we need to take these thoughts captive and examine them to come to the truth. 2 Cor 10:5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, Please look at this part of your closing statement; "Eating pork (or rattlesnake, or shrimp) can't make a believer unclean because there are no unclean foods." You are giving examples of what the Bible has classified as "unclean animals" and then saying there are no "unclean foods". To say the least it is confusing. I would agree that there are no unclean foods. What leads you to believe there are no unclean animals? We should look at this with humility and be willing to examine these things to find the truth. I only want to search out the truth, and if it is not the truth it is a lie. If you do not wish to answer my questions I will understand that. Please only reply if you wish to study this further ( I have asked two questions in this post and I would like answers), you may see something in scripture that I don’t, please enlighten me. I would rather study it out to see what is so. I am hoping I may even learn something. I hope this is a help to you and others as well, wordoer |

Hello Makarios, You ask how would I handle these passages; "And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.)" Matthew 7:18-19 [NASB] I would handle it with care, to be true to the Word and be in the context of the whole of scripture, by taking all of scripture. Ps 119:160 The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting. Shin. It is hard to deny what is taught in Lev. 11, and Deut. 14, you can't twist it any way to make it say that God allows for His people to eat unclean animals. As I stated with the reference I gave, it does no violence to the Word of God. Nor will this explanation do violence to God's word. It makes it easier for me to find if you give the correct location of the verse! Mark 7:18 And He *said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, Mark 7:19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.) I don't know what the problem is really, This has nothing to do with unclean animals. I'll do the best I can in explaining it, since you think it is pertinent. This scripture comes after the Pharisees have asked Jesus why His Disciples are not following the tradition of the elders, the washing of hands, Jesus called them hypocrites, neglecting the commandment of God to hold to the traditions. So The problem for the Pharisees was that the Disciples were not going through all the ritual prescribed by the "tradition of the elders" ( which are not Biblical writings), that apparently teach that a man would be defiled if he didn't do the ritual proper. The add on in parenthesis stating all foods to be clean, I would have to agree with because I stated before that the clean animals were for "food" and the unclean animals were not for "food". Are you having trouble understanding this? "Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience' sake; FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS." 1 Corinthians 10:25-26 Again this is out of context, you would have to assume "swines flesh", was being sold in the meat market, for this to have any relevance. In context, the scripture is dealing with "meat" sacrificed to idols, and not to offend another by eating it. There were a lot of superstitious people back then, just like today. You say: "Therefore, we can eat pig, pork or any kind of meat without believing that we are in some way "violating" Leviticus 11." You are saying that "swines flesh" is for food, and that would not be violating Lev.11,and Deut.14? That sounds double-minded to me. I also noticed you did not mention 1Timothy chapter 4, Do you agree with me on the points I made previously concerning those verses? wordoer |

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 |

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 |
