221 | Does GOD change as centuries pass by. | Mal 3:6 | jlpangilinan | 162965 | ||
Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Ps 102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: Ps 102:27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. Gods the Father did not change, if we saw teaching like those in OT, it is not mean that God change, people change not God. When God gave those commandments in OT, it is mean that those commandments are suit for those people alive on those times. When God the Father sent His Begotten son it is not because he change, it is a part of a divine plan for salvation, and not because He change. As we all knew that prophecies about Christ was written in the old testament, even in the time of Moses. De 18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. Also of Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. This is not because our God change, it is happen because God knows what is better for us. God bless, |

222 | Can we change God's Will? | Mal 3:6 | jlpangilinan | 162973 | ||
Tim, this is not to oppose the answer given to you by kalos, but some things we can discuss on. Ex 32:12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. Ex 32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. Ex 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. Because of moses prayer to the Lord, God repented of the evil things He tought to do to israel, what do you think. God bless, |

223 | Is it God's will to tithe in pres. time? | Mal 3:8 | jlpangilinan | 22463 | ||
Spoken Power, I read the note of Nolan to you and it was very good. My question to you is: In your church, what is tithe? it is the 10 percent of your income (net/gross)? or a simple love offering? If the tithe in your church is the 10 percent of your income, it is different from the teaching of Jesus Christ. Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Tithe is a very part of the law of Moses, and cannot Justified us. Ga 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. I am not saying that giving is wrong, if you can give more than 10 percent to God it is acceptable to Him. God love a cheerful giver. Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. Giving, we know it is not directly to God, we all know that He doesnt need money. But by giving we help the word of God to teach in every part of the world as fast as possible, and not to help pastors to become rich much quicker. God bless, Johnny |

224 | Do we tithe on our net or gross? | Mal 3:8 | jlpangilinan | 22464 | ||
Applessed, You dont have to pay tithe base on your net or gross, it is based on what how much you love to give. If you heard of a teaching that, you should give 10 percent of your income (net or gross) it different from the teaching of Jesus Christ. Tithe is a requirement and a very important part of Jewish religion: 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). But in the time of Jesus Christ he gave us another guideline how to give. it more love justice and charity: 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. Tithe is included in the law of Moses, and law cannot justify us: Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Ga 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Guideline of giving for the Christian is base on the porpose of the heart. If you can give more that 10 percent or 20 of your income it acceptable to God but there is no required amount. God love cheerful giver. God bless, Johnny |

225 | Tithes | Mal 3:8 | jlpangilinan | 125135 | ||
If you reffering to the 10 percent of your income, NO! 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. Apostle paul said, "every man give according to the purpose of his heart" meaning no percentages, if put a percentage in giving it is not anymore a purpose, but a law! This topic, has been discussed many times in this forum, but once again let me share with you what Christ said about it: 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. in the passages above Christ stated that those who observe the law must observe everything included in the law otherwise they are called hypocryte!. In that verse also we see that scribes are strict in imposing the law in tithe and not the most important. Now if you observe the tithe, which is part of the law, you must observe other things which is included in the law i.e stone to death our brother in sister if we caught them go out in the day of sabbath! The doctor should not go out and attend to their patient in the day of sabbath! are doing that? NO. Do we really need to pay tithe which is included in the law? NO! Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Are the tithes inluded in the law of moses? YES! TITHE 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. Is the tihe is for Christian? NO! De 5:3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. It was given specifically to them, not for us. If that covenant are excluded thier fathers how about Christians. I am not saying that giving is wrong, but it should be NO dictated amount or percentage otherwise it will fall under LAW. IF you can give 20 percent or half of your salary it is acceptable to God, but in your own purpose not somebody will impose to collect a percentages! Think about it, read more, God bless, |

226 | How does God say that we rob him? | Mal 3:9 | jlpangilinan | 52286 | ||
Mal 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Mal 3:10 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. In malachi God said that the Isreal rob Him by not giving thier tithe. In the old testament the law required israel to give thier tithe to the temple. It start at the time of Moses they required israel to give thier tithe to the Levites. But in the new testament, there is no teaching of Christ that will required us to give the ten percent of our income. Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Tithe is including in the law of moses and it is not justified us. 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. we know that the new way of giving is this, no required amount and we call that love offering. But if you want to give more it is acceptable to God but no required amount ten or 20 percent is not a requirement. God bless, Johnny |

227 | Does not tithing disqualify leadership? | Mal 3:10 | jlpangilinan | 21954 | ||
My interest to your question is different. 1. What the meaning of tithe for you is the 10 percent of your gross, or a love offering that mentioned in the bible? 2. Do you believed that it is appropriate to give tithe than love offering? I raise this question to you because I think it is wrong that we required our brother and sisters to give tithe. I think the right giving is love offering and it was taught in the new testament. We know that there is no any teaching of Jesus Christ in the new Testament that will required anyone to gave 10 percent of his gross or whatsover. We know also that most of his teaching is love and charity. But I am not saying that the giving is wrong, if you can give more that 10 percent it is acceptable to God, but it will not require you how much you can give but how much you love to give. 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver Thanks, Johnny |

228 | New Testament/ Old Testament | Matthew | jlpangilinan | 18018 | ||
First I will try to explain to you the OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT: The Old Testament is divided into three parts:, 1. The Law (Torah), consisting of the Pentateuch, or five books of Moses. 2. The Prophets, consisting of (1) the former, namely, Joshua, Judges, the Books of Samuel, and the Books of Kings; (2) the latter, namely, the greater prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, and the twelve minor prophets. 3. The Hagiographa, or holy writings, including the rest of the books. These were ranked in three divisions:, (1) The Psalms, Proverbs, and Job, distinguished by the Hebrew name, a word formed of the initial letters of these books, emeth, meaning truth. (2) Canticles, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, and Esther, called the five rolls, as being written for the synagogue use on five separate rolls. (3) Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and 1 and 2 Chronicles. Between the Old and the New Testament no addition was made to the revelation God had already given. The period of New Testament revelation, extending over a century, began with the appearance of John the Baptist. The New Testament consists of (1) the historical books, viz., the Gospels, and the Acts of the Apostles; (2) the Epistles; and (3) the book of prophecy, the Revelation. The division of the Bible into chapters and verses is altogether of human invention, designed to facilitate reference to it. The ancient Jews divided the Old Testament into certain sections for use in the synagogue service, and then at a later period, in the ninth century A.D., into verses. Our modern system of chapters for all the books of the Bible was introduced by Cardinal Hugo about the middle of the thirteenth century (he died 1263). The system of verses for the New Testament was introduced by Stephens in 1551, and generally adopted, although neither Tyndale's nor Coverdale's English translation of the Bible has verses. The division is not always wisely made, yet it is very useful. jOHNNY |

229 | JOHN BAPTIZED JESUS, WHO BAPTIZED JOHN? | Matthew | jlpangilinan | 66875 | ||
He was rebatize by paul. Ac 18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. Baptism, John's 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). |

232 | Is Mary still a virgin. | Matt 1:25 | jlpangilinan | 60923 | ||
After giving birth to Jesus Christ of course Mary is not a virgin anymore, I dont think that a woman after giving birth is remain virgin. The scriptures said that she has other daughters Mt 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? Mt 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? The catholic has explaination for that verses, they explains in that particular time the sisters and brother mentioned are cousins of Christ and not a brother and sisters. Its up to you if you believe in thier explaination or believed in the scriptures. God bless, Johnny |

233 | What type of "magic" do magi do? | Matt 2:1 | jlpangilinan | 27679 | ||
They are not magician, They are ("wise men") Magi. Easton Entry: It is not much referred to in the New Testament. The Magi mentioned in Mt 2:1-12 were not magicians in the ordinary sense of the word. They belonged to a religious caste, the followers of Zoroaster, the astrologers of the East. Simon, a magician, was found by Philip at Samaria (Ac 8:9-24); and Paul and Barnabas encountered Elymas, a Jewish sorcerer, at Paphos (Ac 13:6-12). At Ephesus there was a great destruction of magical books (Ac 19:18-19). |

234 | What does the word Rama mean ? | Matt 2:18 | jlpangilinan | 30949 | ||
Easton Bible Dictionary Entry on: Rama (Mt 2:18), the Greek form of Ramah. (1.) A city first mentioned in Jos 18:25, near Gibeah of Benjamin. It was fortified by Baasha, king of Israel (1Ki 15:17-22; 2Ch 16:1-6). Asa, king of Judah, employed Benhadad the Syrian king to drive Baasha from this city (1Ki 15:18,20). Isaiah (Isa 10:29) refers to it, and also Jeremiah, who was once a prisoner there among the other captives of Jerusalem when it was taken by Nebuchadnezzar (Jer 39:8-12; 40:1). Rachel, whose tomb lies close to Bethlehem, is represented as weeping in Ramah (Jer 31:15) for her slaughtered children. This prophecy is illustrated and fulfilled in the re-awakening of Rachel's grief at the slaughter of the infants in Bethlehem (Mt 2:18). It is identified with the modern village of er-Ram, between Gibeon and Beeroth, about 5 miles due north of Jerusalem. (See Samuel.) (2.) A town identified with Rameh, on the border of Asher, about 13 miles south-east of Tyre, "on a solitary hill in the midst of a basin of green fields" (Jos 19:29). (3.) One of the "fenced cities" of Naphtali (Jos 19:36), on a mountain slope, about seven and a half miles west-south-west of Safed, and 15 miles west of the north end of the Sea of Galilee, the present large and well-built village of Rameh. (4.) The same as Ramathaim-zophim (q.v.), a town of Mount Ephraim (1Sa 1:1,19). (5.) The same as Ramoth-gilead (q.v.), 2Ki 8:29; 2Ch 22:6. |

235 | How does BC correspond to Bible times. | Matt 3:3 | jlpangilinan | 125465 | ||
As we all know, B.C. means before Christ, for example the book of ISAIAH it was mentioned there the reign of the King and uzzia's death which is (B.C. 762) meaning uzzia died 762 year before Christ was born it is an opposit how we count years in our time for example we are now in 2004, two thousand and four years after Jesus Christ born. A.D. means anno domini in english Year of Our Lord. I hope it would helps. God bless, Isaiah, The Book of consists of prophecies delivered (ISA 1) in the reign of Uzziah (1-5), (2) of Jotham (6), (3) Ahaz (7-14:28), (4) the first half of Hezekiah's reign (14:28-35), (5) the second half of Hezekiah's reign (36-66). Thus, counting from the fourth year before Uzziah's death (B.C. 762) to the last year of Hezekiah (B.C. 698), Isaiah's ministry extended over a period of sixty-four years. He may, however, have survived Hezekiah, and may have perished in the way indicated above. |

236 | where can one be baptized? | Matt 3:13 | jlpangilinan | 22961 | ||
Mt 3:13 ¶ Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. Mt 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? Mt 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 15. Mt 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: If follow the example of Jesus Christ we should be baptize in water (river or lake) Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:1 |

237 | first recorded baptism | Matt 3:15 | jlpangilinan | 20783 | ||
If I am mistaken it was There are four recorded kind of baptism that I know 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). 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, 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's 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). |

238 | Why did Satan disrespect Jesus? | Matt 4:3 | jlpangilinan | 116504 | ||
Satan disrespect Jesus Christ because He dont beleived that Christ is God. Satan believed that there is God but dont believed that Christ is God Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Mt 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Mt 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

He seems to have been a man of some position in Capernaum, for he had two boats (Lu 5:4) and "hired servants" (Mr 1:20) of his own. No mention is made of him after the call of his two sons by Jesus. |
