23 | May we claim rewards for tithing? | Mal 3:10 | lookinforacity | 205621 | ||
I fully understand what, and why you do it the way you do. I personally think of it this way, where 2 or more are gathered in MY name, there will I be in the midst of them. Does that constitute a church? If you and your wife agree as touching anything, Does that include your Tithe? We as believers ARE Priests, over the things of God, they had the responsibility to distribute the Tithe out of the storehouse, to the needs of the people. If you see it not being done the way God wants, then we are to follow GOD not MEN. GOD BLESS Jim |

Hi Tim: From what you said about some interesting theories, is there a calendar, that would tell us just what day, the Passover was that particular Year. Or is it always on a Friday? Just wondering from what you said. GOD BLESS Jim |

25 | May we claim rewards for tithing? | Mal 3:10 | lookinforacity | 205614 | ||
Hi rdarden1: Sounds like you said, we as Christians should not Tithe, is that right? Not to be smart about it, but how far does your paycheck go each week, with all of the needs you see all around you? Is he working powerfully through you? I do see your point though,I also agree with alot of it. But look at the whole context, if you understand how it all worked, then it doesn't matter if the Church gets the tithe, it doesn't go for the things you object to. The Tithes were to be in the storehouse of the Temple, for the POOR, WIDOWS, ORPHANS. GOD was supplying food to those, that did not have a way to get it themselves. As you see in the context of the issue of tithes, GOD was speaking to the whole Nation. GOD said bring ALL the Tithes. IMHO, The Churches of today are responsible for this work, they are the representatives of GOD, to the City's they are in. God says they are cursed for NOT Tithing. So on who does the Curse fall if we don't tithe. It all depends on HOW FINE a LINE you want to draw. TIM'S Church is a Prime example of what a Church Should be doing , can we imagine if all of the Churches in any given City, (GOT TOGETHER) and did the same thing. Why do Churches always operate separately? MALACHI 3: 8-11 8) Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9) Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, (EVEN THIS WHOLE NATION) 10) (BRING YE ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE.), that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11) And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. GOD BLESS Jim |

27 | what about doing the work Jesus did ? | 1 Cor 12:28 | lookinforacity | 205547 | ||
HI John: Well it seems we have a, difference of Translation. I use (KJV) you use (NAS) I looked in the (GIB)Greek Interlinear Bible and got ( WEAKNESS). so we can agree, to disagree. GOD BLESS Jim |

28 | what about doing the work Jesus did ? | 1 Cor 12:28 | lookinforacity | 205539 | ||
Hi John: Just a thought. 13) Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. You use this verse to say Paul was sick,it says infirmity, then we go to verse 14, where he makes a statement to them about how they didn't despise him or reject him. If he was sick as you suppose, then why would they,despise him, reject him. Unless it was the Plague.Can you explain verse 14.If not , then you cannot make that kind of an assumption as to his being sick. 14) And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. Exodus 4:10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. I can make an assumption and say I believe Paul had a Stutter, as it is also believed Moses had, I would rather believe they were both slow of speech.It makes more sense when we read about the despising, and rejecting. Perhaps your right, and he was leprous, then all would be explained. But alas it only says Infirmity. Ps. I know you will ask so, where Paul tells Timothy, to drink a little wine,Timothy could have been having stomach trouble from eating the foods in that area, ie. heartburn. There isnt any need for that to be prayed for. Is there? Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Jim |

30 | No Fruit? | John 15:8 | lookinforacity | 205506 | ||
Hi Steve: Could you please clear something up for me? You have been talking about John 15:8 right? How can you expect to get a correct understanding, of that verse without including the verses John 15:1-7 Verses 1-8 are all about the same subject, Vine, Branches, Fruit. In light of what you have decided verse 8 means, (would you please explain) what verses 3,and 7 mean? How do they apply, to the whole of the passage? John 15:1-8 Thank you GOD BLESS Jim |

31 | No Fruit? | John 15:8 | lookinforacity | 205503 | ||
Hi Brad: What I did say, was. I found some interesting verses, that might shed a different light, on how we are to take what we read. Please excuse my ignorance, but has everyone in this Forum seen, and understood these verses before? I will admit, until today, I did not. They surprised me. From now on, when I read I will keep them in mind. If the point of study, is to divide the word of God Righteously. Then I will have to go over everything I believe, and reapply this new information. What I am talking about is, they (the Apostles)had the responsibility of establishing the Church. (not us) Did Jesus tell them things, that they alone needed, in order for them to do that work? That we as Believers, Christians, Followers, Disciples have combined with other verses, to the Church in general, thereby giving us a wrong, BELIEF. (understanding) I for one would like to know, if I am following something that could cause me some difficulty in some way. In Answer: 1) I do not believe, the Church is Israel. 2) The ministry given to Paul, was the same as for the other 12. He said himself, "As one born, out of due season" Hope this clears things up. GOD BLESS Jim |

33 | No Fruit? | John 15:8 | lookinforacity | 205482 | ||
Hi Steve: I found some interesting verses, that might shed a different light, on how we are to take what we read. We first have to look at the Disciples (Apostles), they were in a special position, they WERE the first, they were at the starting point, they will also have a different reward. Matthew 19:27 Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?" Matthew 19:28 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. Luke 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; Luke 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. This is only to show you, we cannot apply everything, that Jesus said to them, (to OURSELVES.) Hope it helps. God Bless Jim |

34 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | lookinforacity | 205330 | ||
Hi Tamara: The answer to your question is, NO. Christians should not get remarried after a divorce. If you can find the words of the marriage ceremony. I have to qualify the answer though, because there are two types of marriage, that take place. 1) In a Church sanctioned by a Religion. That falls into the category of, in the sight of GOD. The person taking the Vows, fully understands, what they mean, in the eyes of the Religion. 2) In a Court, that is sanctioned by the State. In this type of marriage, GOD still sees, and holds us to the Vows taken, because marriage is HIS institution. But in a Civil Ceremony, they do not use the Line, In the sight of God. This was just for the purpose of distinction. We as the participants in a Marriage, are still held to the Vows. I think you will find in the Vows , the line, (Forsaking All Others), God does not like for us to get divorced, But he allows it, because of the Hardness of OUR hearts, as with the Jews. We are still held to the Vow (Forsaking All Others). as long as you do not remarry, for the rest of your life, it is ok, (not right) but ok. But the moment you do remarry, the VOW is then broken, and you are then held responsible. You at that moment, are an Adulterer. 31) It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 33) Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34) But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35) Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36) Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37) But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. It is better not to marry, but if you must, you will be held to the Vows you make. God does not take Vows lightly. God Bless Jim |

35 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | lookinforacity | 205319 | ||
Hi John: This is the reason I ask. Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. God Bless Jim |

37 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | lookinforacity | 205315 | ||
Hi John: Just a question, why is a widow - (er) in the mix, what have they done to fall into the catigory,of Do not Marry? Your quote "to a one that has not been married or widowed or is not divorced for the wrong reason." |

38 | Just needing a little more insight | Col 2:18 | lookinforacity | 205280 | ||
Hi Sandy: Your question, on Col. 2:18 has nothing at all to do with the worshiping of angels. The only connection that I can make to the angel part is, someone might say, I have seen an angel and this is what he said. Example (Joseph Smith) (Mormon Religion). The rest of the Chapter tells you WHAT WAS SAID, in verse 18. Verse 8 says the same thing, as the others,that's why I added it. I cannot say it any better than Paul wrote. 18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 8) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22) Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. I hope these will answer, your question, now that you understand them, in context. Now go back and read the whole chapter, and see if it all makes sense. GOD BLESS Jim |

39 | what approach did paul take | Acts 17:18 | lookinforacity | 205276 | ||
Hi Beanna: You go right ahead and ask your question as many times as you want. WE ALL understand that you only came to the FORUM today. Now on to your question. the way you asked it, I can only say. Paul took the approach you have posted in Verses 18-34 He apparently doesnt use any other approach, because it isnt recorded. There was a Church established in ATHENS, so I assume his efforts were successful. That is the only way I can answer your question. Hope it is enough. GOD BLESS Jim |

40 | Is God opens doors no man closes in bibl | Rev 3:20 | lookinforacity | 205273 | ||
Hi Chesshores: Here are two verses for your inspection. Hope they are what you were looking for Isaiah 22:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; GOD BLESS Jim |
