241 | Shall we eat out tithe/offerings? | Deut 12:18 | srbaegon | 177051 | ||
Hello iktoose, Deuteronomy is a restatement and further clarification of Leviticus/Numbers. With that in mind, the tithe is the same throughout. Steve |

242 | Shall we eat out tithe/offerings? | Deut 12:18 | srbaegon | 177017 | ||
Hello iktoose, No, you're not brainwashed. You've received some incorrect teaching. I've heard some of the same in the past. Do a study concerning who the Levites were and what they did, and compare that to what pastors are in the NT. You will see the difference. Steve |

243 | Shall we eat out tithe/offerings? | Deut 12:18 | srbaegon | 177011 | ||
Hello iktoose, Pastors, missionaries, evangelists, and church workers are not modern day Levites. The Levites did the "dirty work" for the tabernacle service--setting up, taking down, guarding, carrying the furnishings, etc. If you must find a modern day equivalent, it would be the deacons. But that really would not be correct either. God's desire is that each of his children would be act as a priest. This was even true of Israel (Exod 19:6). They failed, and God selected the tribe of Levi to minister to him with only one family (Aaron) who could serve as priests. Today, the entire church is a royal and holy priesthood and all minister to God. Now as to your desire to bring together to share--it's great idea. The New Testament calls that fellowship (Acts 2:42). Just don't burden it down by applying a law that is no longer needed. Steve |

244 | Is Gen 2:17 a prophecy? | Gen 2:17 | srbaegon | 176976 | ||
Hello Paul, Thank you for filling in those details of your search of the word "pethach". I understand the right use of typology, and there is no question of many types of our precious Lord Jesus. Those shown in the New Testament help us to see others not mentioned. But I have a genuine concern of seeing a type in every instance of a particular word or occasion as it is used in Scripture. For instance, you mention Three Taverns (or Three Inns). This is the name of a town. Paul was glad to see the brethren, not the town--the verse says this. Your speculation is leading you far afield. Steve |

245 | Is Gen 2:17 a prophecy? | Gen 2:17 | srbaegon | 176956 | ||
Hello Brother Paul, This is nonsensical. Tracking an English word through a translation does not work since the original was in a different language. You simply cannot make all these occurances fit together. And might I add, you would have to consider ALL uses of the word "door" to ensure you got it correct. I certainly do not see that here. Steve |

246 | Shall we eat out tithe/offerings? | Deut 12:18 | srbaegon | 176891 | ||
Hello iktoose, Scripture plainly says that the tithe belongs to and is for the Levites (Num 18:21). Deut 14 gives some additional thoughts on how that is shared (the giver and his household are allowed to eat their fill of a portion of the tithe). So unless you personally know a Levite, there is nobody to give the tithe to. Steve |
||||||
247 | Should the Church tithe also? | Num 18:26 | srbaegon | 176781 | ||
Hello Carol, You are absolutely correct that the tithe was given to the Levites. I am surprised that you have found some to whom you can give your tithe. Steve |
||||||
248 | The Offender | Matt 7:21 | srbaegon | 176494 | ||
Hello Jason, I see you gave a response without ever answering the inquiry. Perhaps you should go back a fix that problem. Steve |

249 | Elders not a pastor should lead church | Bible general Archive 3 | srbaegon | 176480 | ||
Hello Bereaniam, I would not say that pastor is the same as elder/overseer. However, I am certain that elders/overseers are to be the spiritual leadership of the local church. As I see Eph 4, the pastor-teacher is an itinerant ministry. It's a gift to the whole church and not one local body. Steve |
||||||
250 | So the law was valid until his death? | Mark 7:19 | srbaegon | 176291 | ||
Hello Face, I'm correct on three counts. Deut 19 reinforces the other two passages by warning against false witness and then restates the personal responsibility penalty. Steve |
||||||
251 | What do the leters to 7 churches mean | Revelation | srbaegon | 176258 | ||
Hello thelivingword, Welcome to the forum. The church at Ephesus had a privileged place because Paul taught in that city for 2 years with great effectiveness (see Acts 19). They knew the Scriptures well. Unfortunately, all this knowledge caused them to be puffed up and harsh. The warning was to bring them back to a place where love of the Lord Jesus shown to others had first place. Does this help? Steve |
||||||
252 | So the law was valid until his death? | Mark 7:19 | srbaegon | 176257 | ||
Hello Face, I would recommend going back and rereading the "eye for eye, tooth for tooth thing." They all deal with the just recompense if one harmed another (Exo 21:24; Lev 24:20; Deu 19:21). Steve |

253 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | srbaegon | 175581 | ||
Hello Hugh, And the marriage referred to as not breaking up consisted of one man and one woman. And you have never answered my question--Do you believe that whatever the Bible does not specifically condemn is permissible to the believer? How many times and in how many ways must this be asked before you give a response? Steve |
||||||
254 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | srbaegon | 175569 | ||
Hello Hugh, Mark is consistent. He is acknowledging that Jesus is the one who gave the word of truth (Bible) and is therefore qualified to explain its content. He does so by saying the Genesis account specifies one man and one woman. It's quite simple, you see. Steve |

255 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | srbaegon | 175567 | ||
Hello Hugh, Lev 20:10 (ESV) If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. Num 5:11-15 (ESV) And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the people of Israel, If any man's wife goes astray and breaks faith with him, if a man lies with her sexually, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and she is undetected though she has defiled herself, and there is no witness against her, since she was not taken in the act, and if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife who has defiled herself, or if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife, though she has not defiled herself, 15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest and bring the offering required of her, a tenth of an ephah of barley flour. He shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembrance, bringing iniquity to remembrance." Obviously, adultery is possible. It is sin. Steve |

256 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | srbaegon | 175558 | ||
Hello Hugh, From Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: A1. Adulterer (-ess), Adulterous, Adultery [Noun] moichos denotes one "who has unlawful intercourse with the spouse of another," Luke 18:11; 1 Cor 6:9; Heb 13:4. As to James 4:4, see below. A2. Adulterer (-ess), Adulterous, Adultery [Noun] moichalis "an adulteress," is used (a) in the natural sense, 2 Pet 2:14; Rom 7:3; (b) in the spiritual sense, James 4:4; here the RV rightly omits the word "adulterers." It was added by a copyist. As in Israel the breach of their relationship with God through their idolatry, was described as "adultery" or "harlotry" (e.g., Ezek 16:15ff; Ezek 23:43), so believers who cultivate friendship with the world, thus breaking their spiritual union with Christ, are spiritual "adulteresses," having been spiritually united to Him as wife to husband, Rom 7:4. It is used adjectivally to describe the Jewish people in transferring their affections from God, Matt 12:39; Matt 16:4; Mark 8:38. In 2 Pet 2:14, the lit. translation is "full of an adulteress" (RV, marg.). A3. Adulterer (-ess), Adulterous, Adultery [Noun] moicheia "adultery," is found in Matt 15:19; Mark 7:21; John 8:3 (AV only). B1. Adulterer (-ess), Adulterous, Adultery [Verb] moichao used in the Middle Voice in the NT, is said of men in Matt 5:32; Matt 19:9; Mark 10:11; of women in Mark 10:10. B2. Adulterer (-ess), Adulterous, Adultery [Verb] moicheuo is used in Matt 5:27,28,32 (in Matt 5:32 some texts have moichao); Matt 19:18; Mark 10:19; Luke 16:18; Luke 18:20; John 8:4; Rom 2:22; Rom 13:9; James 2:11; in Rev 2:22, metaphorically, of those who are by a Jezebel's solicitations drawn away to idolatry.

257 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | srbaegon | 175554 | ||
Hello Hugh, You are inconsistent. Adultery is defined as sexual relations with one who is not your spouse. Therefore a man can most certainly commit adultery against his wife. Now please answer my question--Is the Christian permitted to do anything not explicitly forbidden in Scripture? Steve |
||||||
258 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | srbaegon | 175552 | ||
Hello Hugh, You seem to take the position that anything not specifically stated in Scripture is permissible for the Christian. Are you consistent in this? Scripture explicitly states that a man should not divorce his wife. Is a wife permitted to divorce her husband for just any reason? How far are you willing to go in this? Steve |
||||||
259 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | srbaegon | 175528 | ||
Hello Hugh, Polygamy is not an integral part of Levirate Law. The examples given in Scripture where this occurs (Judah's sons and Boaz come to mind) give clear indication that the brethren are unmarried. Steve |
||||||
260 | Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? | Deut 11:19 | srbaegon | 175412 | ||
Hello Fellow Pilgrim, This is interesting because the English does not really put forth all that Biblical Greek conveyed. When Paul writes in Romans 10, "confess...Jesus as LORD", we assume he means "Jesus is in charge." While this is correct, the fuller meaning is "Jesus is the one, true and living God" with the inference that He is in charge of all things. Steve |
