1162 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 22277 | ||
Hi charis, I hope you are not get rid in this discussion. I am interested with your statement in your last note. I am not sure why you have this focus on the 'legality' of the tithe. It is not a legal thing at all! Personally, I don't think it ever was, even in the Old Testament. I would share with you (if you are interested) the explaination regarding tithe in the Old testament. Tithe a tenth of the produce of the earth consecrated and set apart for special purposes. The dedication of a tenth to God was recognized as a duty before the time of Moses. Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek (Ge 14:20; Heb 7:6); and Jacob vowed unto the Lord and said, "Of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee." The first Mosaic law on this subject is recorded in Le 27:30-32. Subsequent legislation regulated the destination of the tithes (Nu 18:21-24,26-28; De 12:5-6,11,17; 14:22-23). The paying of the tithes was an important part of the Jewish religious worship. In the days of Hezekiah one of the first results of the reformation of religion was the eagerness with which the people brought in their tithes (2Ch 31:5-6). The neglect of this duty was sternly rebuked by the prophets (Am 4:4; Mal 3:8-10). It cannot be affirmed that the Old Testament law of tithes is binding on the Christian Church, nevertheless the principle of this law remains, and is incorporated in the gospel (1Co 9:13-14); and if, as is the case, the motive that ought to prompt to liberality in the cause of religion and of the service of God be greater now than in Old Testament times, then Christians outght to go beyond the ancient Hebrew in consecrating both themselves and their substance to God. Every Jew was required by the Levitical law to pay three tithes of his property (1) one tithe for the Levites; (2) one for the use of the temple and the great feasts; and (3) one for the poor of the land. 1. It was mention there that"a tenth of the produce of the earth consecrated and set apart for special purposes. The dedication of a tenth to God was recognized as a duty before the time of Moses" 2.The paying of the tithes was an important part of the Jewish religious worship. 3. The neglect of this duty was sternly rebuked by the prophets (Am 4:4; Mal 3:8-10). 4. Every Jew was required by the Levitical law to pay three tithes of his property. With those statement I dont think your right when said that it is not a legal thing for the Jewish Religion. It was really a requirements. In addition, Mr 12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 42. Mr 12:43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: This widow that mentioned of Jesus Christ I am sure she's not giving the tithe, it was love offering. An there is no requirements there or guideline how much she can give, there is no guideline that she have to gave 10 percent 20 percent or any percent. This is really what I mean of a guidelines of Giving. I hope you get my point. God bless, Johnny |

1163 | goliath was a giant from out of what peo | 1 Samuel | jlpangilinan | 22265 | ||
Goliath great. (1.) A famous giant of Gath, who for forty days openly defied the armies of Israel, but was at length slain by David with a stone from a sling (1Sa 17:4). HEW WAS PROBABLY DECENDED from the REPHAIM who found refuge among the Philistines after they were dispersed by the Ammonites (De 2:20-21). His height was "six cubits and a span," which, taking the cubit at 21 inches, is equal to 10 1/2 feet. David cut off his head (1Sa 17:51) and brought it to Jerusalem, while he hung the armour which he took from him in his tent. His sword was preserved at Nob as a religious trophy (1Sa 21:9). David's victory over Goliath was the turning point in his life. He came into public notice now as the deliverer of Israel and the chief among Saul's men of war (1Sa 18:5), and the devoted friend of Jonathan. (2.) In 2Sa 21:19 there is another giant of the same name mentioned as slain by Elhanan. The staff of his apear "was like a weaver's beam." The Authorized Version interpolates the words "the brother of" from 1Ch 20:5, where this giant is called Lahmi. |

1165 | is baptism important | John 3:5 | jlpangilinan | 22260 | ||
Yes I know that I mean is baptism mentioned in the bible: BAPTISM FOR THE DEAD: only mentioned in 1Co 15:29. This expression as used by the apostle may be equivalent to saying, "He who goes through a baptism of blood in order to join a glorified church which has no existence [i.e., if the dead rise not] is a fool." Some also regard the statement here as an allusion to the strange practice which began, it is said, to prevail at Corinth, in which a person was baptized in the stead of others who had died before being baptized, to whom it was hoped some of the benefits of that rite would be extended. This they think may have been one of the erroneous customs which Paul went to Corinth to "set in order." BAPTISM OF CHRIST: Christ had to be formally inaugurated into the public discharge of his offices. For this purpose he came to John, who was the representative of the law and the prophets, that by him he might be introduced into his offices, and thus be publicly recognized as the Messiah of whose coming the prophecies and types had for many ages borne witness. John refused at first to confer his baptism on Christ, for he understood not what he had to do with the "baptism of repentance." But Christ said, "'Suffer it to be so now,' NOW as suited to my state of humiliation, my state as a substitute in the room of sinners." His reception of baptism was not necessary on his own account. It was a voluntary act, the same as his act of becoming incarnate. Yet if the work he had engaged to accomplish was to be completed, then it became him to take on him the likeness of a sinner, and to fulfil all righteousness (Mt 3:15). The official duty of Christ and the sinless person of Christ are to be distinguished. It was in his official capacity that he submitted to baptism. In coming to John our Lord virtually said, "Though sinless, and without any personal taint, yet in my public or official capacity as the Sent of God, I stand in the room of many, and bring with me the sin of the world, for which I am the propitiation." Christ was not made under the law on his own account. It was as surety of his people, a position which he spontaneously assumed. The administration of the rite of baptism was also a symbol of the baptism of suffering before him in this official capacity (Lu 12:50). In thus presenting himself he in effect dedicated or consecrated himself to the work of fulfilling all righteousness. BAPTISM CHRISTIAN: an ordinance immediately instituted by Christ (Mt 28:19-20), and designed to be observed in the church, like that of the Supper, "till he come." The words "baptize" and "baptism" are simply Greek words transferred into English. This was necessarily done by the translators of the Scriptures, for no literal translation could properly express all that is implied in them. BAPTISM, JOHN was not Christian baptism, nor was that which was practised by the disciples previous to our Lord's crucifixion. Till then the New Testament economy did not exist. John's baptism bound its subjects to repentance, and not to the faith of Christ. It was not administered in the name of the Trinity, and those whom John baptized were rebaptized by Paul (Ac 18:24; 19:7). To make myself clear Johnny |

1166 | Do you put the KJV in the parenthesis? | John 3:16 | jlpangilinan | 22256 | ||
I think it is John 3:16(KJV) As I know when you put like John 3:16 in the sentence it is understood that it is came from that particular verse. Example John 3:6 says "For God so love the world and He gave His only Son......." Another Example: Moses drawn (or Egypt. mesu, "son;" hence Rameses, royal son). On the invitation of Pharaoh (Ge 45:17-25,KJV), Jacob and his sons went down into Egypt. This immigration took place probably about 350 years before the birth of Moses. If you can see they just put comma. after the verse(Ge 45:17-25,KJV) I hope it helps. Johnny |

1167 | Did Adam knew the concept of heaven? | Gen 3:19 | jlpangilinan | 22255 | ||
I post those question because in the new Testament Heaven was the Great promises.If Adam and most of people in the Old teatemant including Moses doesnt know about it, why it was promises to us now. What do you think the reason why it not mentioned to them by God. It is God himself who keep talking and giving to Moses his covenant. If I am not mistaken, that time the promises for them was the promise land which is canaan. Johnny |

1168 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 22254 | ||
Yes Charis, if somebody can show that it was taught by Jesus Christ I am ready to embrace that teaching again. Do you? I think it is not right to say that if you are not willing to give tithes you not a giver at all. There is a guidelines. "Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." What is wrong with that passages if we are not going to observe that? I am not saying that I am not willing to give, but tithe is not a requirements. Charis, if you want me to agree that tithe is a requirements, just show me a single word that He required His desciple to gave thier tithes to Him. Or you can show me that Jesus Christ made himself as an Example by fulfiling it. If the tithe really is a requirements I know that Jesus Christ will made Himself as an example by doing it. Baptism would you agree is important, Jesus Christ made himself an example when He required himself to be baptized by John. We all would agree that He dont do it for his own salvation (Because He is son of God all things created trough Him and By Him)but to show us how important it is. I think my argument is very simple, just show me those things, and I would agree. Thanks for your time, God bless, Johnny |

1170 | Where is the line? | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 22249 | ||
Hi Debbie, Thanks to your answer, if we really looking for a guideline why we have to create our own guideline. In the new testament Jesus Christ and His deciples gave us the guideline of giving which is love offering. I know that tithe is right in the time of Moses until Jesus Christ was born as human being. He made Himself a living sacrifice to free us our sins. He gave us spirit of Christianity; love, grace,charity and other good things. Jesus Christ only can justify us and not the law of Moses, I know you would agree on that. If the law of moses cannot justify that why we keep doing the things that cannot justified us which is tithe. It is not mean that we are not going to give, but there is a new guideline how to do it. If we observe one part of the law why not observing it at all. Mt 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. If we read that passages, it will tell us that we have to be consistent. If you observe law of tithing you must observe other things that include in to it. Why we are ready to exclude all of the law of Moses, but we cannot include tithe to them what is it in the tithe that we cannot give up? Debbie, my believed is open, if anyone can show me that Jesus taught tithe or required His deciple to give thier tithes, I am ready to embrace that teaching again. In addition, if the tithe is really a requirement Jesus Christ is the first one who going do it as an example. He made himself an example when he required himself to be baptized by John because it is important to be baptize, and baptism is including in His teaching. What I really mean is if tithe is really the requirements why Jesus Christ himself did not required himsef to be an example like what He did when He asked john to baptise Him. God bless, Johnny |

Charis, That is why it was mentioned in the scriptures that God loves cheerful giver. If are willing or happy with your setup of giving it is okay. If we really read the scriptures it is not the giver was made the mistake but those who requires to the members to give. Mt 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. If you can give more than 10 percent of your income it is okay but again it is not a requirements. Apostle Paul gave to the church all he got in life, he got no wife because he dedicate all of his time to serve God, he gave even his life to serve people in the glory of Jesus Christ. If we put this discussion into a pure biblical, I know you would agree, Apostle Paul gave his everything to serve people to the Glory of God but he never required anyone to give thier tithe but a guidance that God love cheerful giver. If somebody can show me that Jesus Christ taught any single word or is He required his disciple to give thier tithe, then I would agree that tithe is a requirements. Please dont get rid of me, Again thanks for a nice discussion. Johnny |

1174 | MANY RELIGIONS, WHAT'S RIGHT | John 3:16 | jlpangilinan | 22167 | ||
There are true church of Christ, the problem is how to find it, My first suggestion to you is to observe. Of course all of the religions will say that they are the truth. Jesus Christ gave us guidelines how to know the true spirit. 1Jo 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. How could you sure that the religion is the true spirit that was mentioned. You have to read the scriptures if really the teaching of the the church is according to the scripture. Dont listen to what they say but take a look at the fruit of any church becuase it was mentioned: Mt 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Mt 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. We will know the good organization through thier fruit,not base on thier saying. It also mentioned how careful we have to in terms of teaching. Ga 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Apostle Paul mentioned, we or an angel came from heaven, preach any other gospel that different from the Gospel of Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. How could we know that the teaching was different from the teaching of Jesus Christ. We have to read the Scriptures, and pray for His guidance. Thank you, Johnny |

1177 | is baptism important | John 3:5 | jlpangilinan | 22163 | ||
Yes! it is very important Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus Christ also do it not just says it. Mr 1:9 ΒΆ And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. Mr 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: To show us that it is important Jesus Christ make himself an example when He asked John to baptize Him. There are four kinds of baptism in the bible, I can share it to you if you want. Thanks, Johnny |

1178 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 22161 | ||
Charis, I agree on that on your cases, but of course my answer is based on the bible. When Apostle paul taught to to the gentiles he take nothing from them. That really I admire apoetle paul what He said is: 2Co 12:13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. 2Co 12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. If the pastors really want to serve people in Jesus name they must observe what apostle paul did. And they must prepared for the cirscumstances. Again, The head of our church (sorry for mentioning "head" we know really that the HEAD of the church is Jesus) try to expand his own source of income in order to provide needs of our churce i.e free bible for the observer and other things. All of our pastor (although we call them brothers and sisters) has his own Job and source of income (maybe yours also do the same) Charis, just to tell you the truth income of our church from the love offering cannot sustain the needs of our church, here our head of the church extend thier effort just to sustain it. It truly the love for people. Thier not complaining, of course there are sometime that they can no longer shoulder it they call us for help, like what I mentioned to you the convention center. Charis, I am not really saying that giving is wrong but my stand is tithe is really not a requirement, and it cannot justify us, as mention in the Holy scriptures. In addition if we are really observe the the tithe which is included in the law of moses we must observe all the laws that included thier otherwise we are not consistent. Mt 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. According to Jesus Christ in that verse, we have to be consistent. Thanks for very nice discussion, God bless, Johnny |

Charis, The convention center is not just for our local church i am sorry not to mentioned, it was our national covention center. All local church meet thier if they can. If we have a big celebration or whatsoever we held it on that convention center so we can accomodate more people like visitors and observer. In addition, inside that convention center has a small hospital that accomadate person cannot pay amount in the hospital. This convention center also open for the people victims of flood or storm if they dont have place to go. (it is open to member or non-member of the church) Meaning we built it in purpose of course. To those gave big amount just to finish that building they are motivated to gave because the saw the effort of our founder to have that convention center. As a matter of fact our founder sold many of his own property just to fund that convention center. To finish the story, our founder asking us to help him it was almost finish may 10 percent of the building was not yet finish. Meaning it was the 10 percent of the said 20 million we are tried to source at the time. |

1180 | Did Christ fulfill the law - yes or no? | Matt 5:17 | jlpangilinan | 22157 | ||
Kalos, I read two of your question to Searcher56, and it seems that he/she still would want to answer it directly. Some members also commenting in to it. In my own opinion, Yes! Christ did fulfill the law becuase he said it in that particular verse. And we know that He is not imprudent to say it and yet not fulfilling it. Thank you, Johnny |
