I don't owe her an apology since I haven't spoken with her. I just stated an opinion. She obviously doesn't like it when you talk about her boss. | ||||||
23 | Tithing before Mosaic Law | Gen 14:20 | savedsince1980 | 217849 | ||
My point is that, just because somebody (even Abram) did something before the Law it doesn't mean that it is something that Christian believers should be doing today. I could name a long list of things that Abram did that we don't do today. The foundation for tithing is extremely weak. | ||||||

Justme (justyou?), My opinion doesn't matter. The bible teaches, as you know, that the church (the believers) are to remember the poor and needy. See Rom. 15:26 and Gal. 2:10 for examples. But, that is to be tempered by what I wrote earlier. Wisdom is required. I know what you mean. I lived in a 1977 Datsun for six months myself once. I know what poor means. In my opinion, given the miserable state of our economy, it would be wise for those who can work to consider employment in other cities around the country, Des Moines or Omaha for example. There are a few cities where this recession has not yet hit very hard. Those who are disabled do have it hard and should first sign up at their Goodwill employment agency. (I don't know if every city has one of these. But, the Portland, Oregon Goodwills do.) Then go to the state or county aid office and see what all they can get until the can get a job. Even with a job they will likely end up living off of a combination of low pay and state welfare. That's a sad truth. |

25 | free will or predestine ? | Bible general Archive 4 | savedsince1980 | 217798 | ||
That's difficult (for me), finding passages that support a false doctrine. But, here goes...when I was a Baptist (for about a year, in 1980) they taught us free will and once-saved-always-saved. I cannot recall one scripture they quoted to support the free will doctrine. How about Matt. 26:39? Jesus shoes us that he has a free will. I think that people have a free will to reject Jesus. But, I don't think they have a free will to accept Jesus. They have to be called first. This is a hard saying. | ||||||

27 | Christ did not do away with the tithe | Gen 14:20 | savedsince1980 | 217789 | ||
Maybe I should have said that teaching tithing is heretical. If an individual's conscience tells him/her to tithe (give a tenth), then that's not heresy. What is heresy is teaching that others should tithe. This is equivalent to what Jesus said in Matt. 23:4...For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. (KJV) The modern-day Pharisees, often trained in seminaries and bible colleges, spout tithing as if it's straight from the Lord when, in fact, it is a tradition taught to them by men/women who missed the whole point of tithing in the first place. (Reread Gen. 14:20 carefully.) | ||||||

The first murder was also before the Mosaic law(s, all 613 of them.) Should we follow that example also? | ||||||

31 | Need interpretation for these verses | Rom 2:12 | savedsince1980 | 217770 | ||
1. While the sinner who doesn't know "the law" (613 laws of the Old Testament) will surely be punished at the judgment, the sinner who does know the law will be even more severely punished because he knew better. 2. The man is a born-again believer in Jesus Christ who has chosen to sin. Handing him over to Satan means breaking off fellowship with him. In due time he will repent because Satan will have no mercy on him. He will torment him and, if necessary, even his flesh will die. But, his spirit will be saved. See 1 Cor 3:11-15 for the details. |

32 | Christ did not do away with the tithe | Gen 14:20 | savedsince1980 | 217769 | ||
But, Jesus himself was walking under the law. The new covenant was not instituted until his death and resurrection. If tithing is important why is is not even mentioned at the council in Jerusalem (Acts 10) which was deciding which laws to tell THE GENTILES it was necessary to obey? | ||||||
33 | Tithing before Mosaic Law | Gen 14:20 | savedsince1980 | 217768 | ||
No. It is mentioned only twice before it became part of the 613 laws we collectively call "the law." Jesus mentioned the tithe only in reference to what the Pharisees were doing. (By the way Jesus was still under the law. The new covenant wasn't yet in effect.) Tithing is not mentioned one time in the book of Acts or in any of the epistles except for Hebrews, where it is part of the old covenant which has been superseded by the new covenant. Tithing is not for the church. If you really want to know what tithing's about ask a Jew. Modern Jews, who supposedly keep the law, don't even tithe! | ||||||
34 | free will or predestine ? | Bible general Archive 4 | savedsince1980 | 217767 | ||
Please read Matt 20:16, Matt 22:14, John 6:70, John 13:18, John 15:16, John 15:19, Acts 1:2, Acts 22:14, Romans 16:13, Eph 1:4, 2Thess 2:13, 2Tim 2:4, James 2:5, 1Pet 2:9, and Rev 17:14. Then ask yourself, why do I not believe we have been chosen (or predestined?) | ||||||

It isn't unlawful because there's no law against it. There is however the apostle Paul's advice in 2 Thessalonians 3:8-10. In my opinion, the church should offer temporary assistance. The unemployed should seek and obtain employment. | ||||||

His full name is John Mark. To avoid confusion he's simply called Mark. In Acts 12:25 the apostal Paul takes John Mark to Jerusalem along with Barnabas. Also see: Acts 15:37-39. | ||||||
