302 | I won"t be saved if I don't tithe | 2 Corinthians | jlpangilinan | 63432 | ||
Of course EdB, if you alow me to tell you some story about our church here in the Philippines. Our church did not require us to give tithes our brother (we call him brother He is not want to call him pastor or reverend just brother as Christ said in Mat) We usually give as purposes of our heart some can give big amount some small. We have members that cannot give at all, those who are stayed in our home for the aged. Yes we have community of disable members. We have a national convention center worth 600 Million pesos (12M dollors)this convention center has our hospital and other facilities that can help our most unfurunate members. We have food there. If some time the typoon hit some area this convention center usually used for shelter for member and non member. The land that occupied of the convention center is family owned of our preacher but he donated it to the church, even his home and cars that he owned He donated it to the church so it is now property of the church. He is a very good example to us, when that convention center started He tried to build that in his own money it is 80 percent finished when He asked help from us to finish the convention center because our old center is too small for us. Our preacer and leader of the church has there own job to support thier family they dont get thier salaries from the church. Our church has more than 2 million in the philippines and thousand from other part of the world, we support our church and our fellow members. Philippines is one of the developing countries we have many poor people here, but I proudly say that none in our members died because they have no food because we support each members and number one for that noble job is our beloved brother (preacher) we enable to support our church but not requiring our member to give tithes but love offering. Our preacher always remind us of the life of apostle paul that the paul is not burdensome to his people, it is paul try to provide for the church, and he tried to do the same thing. 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. 14. 2Co 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. the verses above is an inspiration to us. Thanks for time, God bless, Johnny |

303 | I won"t be saved if I don't tithe | 2 Corinthians | jlpangilinan | 63416 | ||
I am not against tithing, our church required us to give love offering not tithes. We have a basis why we teach that tithes is not for the Christian but only for the jews. Some of my basis is in the previous post to you but unfortunately you did not answers those or disprove those. What you did is to quote one verse to another to response my post but not really answers it. I asked you about where the abraham get his tithes? If Jesus Christ will happy with that kind of giving you ignore to answer it. I challenge you to give me any single teaching of Christ that He required anyone to give tithes to Him you again ignore them. It is very easy just show me that Christ has a teaching that required anyone to give tithes to Him and I am convince that tithes is for the Christian today. Here in you post you quoted mal 3:10 gives the blessing for those that tithe and you want your blessing! If your logic is this, then you are telling that Apostle Paul dont have any blessing because none in the new testament that Paul give tithes but love offering, he help his people being a tentmaker. all of the desciples never give thier tithes to Jesus Christ, if your logic is correct then they have no blessing at all after so many things that they have done because they never give tithes! Mal 3:10 indeed is for the jew: If you started at verse 6: Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. He is talking to the people of Israel! not you not me but for the people of Israel, that is why I am asking you in my previous post if you are a jew. 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. Tithes is very part of the law it was given specifically to them take a look at this verse: De 5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 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 mentioned there "The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day" "not with thier fathers" even thier father is not included in that covenant. "but with us, even us, who are all alive this day" are we alive at that time? and you are claiming that we are part of that covenant? I hope you will answers my point. Because I am really answer your point Paul said law of moses cannot justify us, and tithe is very part of the law, meaning tithe cannot justify us. Or you can prove to me that tithe is not part of the law of moses? That show me my friend, any single teaching of Christ that He required anyone to give tithes to Him and we will agree. God bless, Johnny |

304 | I won"t be saved if I don't tithe | 2 Corinthians | jlpangilinan | 63396 | ||
Did somebody required abraham to give? NO! he gave it as purposes of the heart no one required him to give but he gave. tithes under the law required Israel to give to the levites, the same us many pastors of today they taught that works is not a requirements for salvation, but required thier members to give the tithes. Where did abraham get from His tithes anyway? Ge 14:16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. Ge 14:17 ¶ And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale. 17. Ge 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. Ge 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Do you think Christ will allow that action today? Do you think He will be happy if im going to kill my enemies took thier goods and give tithes to Him? Please answer. Just show me that Christ has a single teaching that will require us to give tithes and not love offering. Show me a single scriptures in the new testament that Christ required anyone to give tithes to Him. Tithes is important to the Jewish religion, the authority to recieve the tithes was given to the levites, not for you not for me but to the levites and his decendants: Heb 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: Are you a Jew? a descendants of levi? then you have the authority to require your people to give tithes.

305 | Question about Tyre | Is 23:1 | jlpangilinan | 63394 | ||
Information on Tyre a rock, now es-Sur; an ancient Phoenician city, about 23 miles, in a direct line, north of Acre, and 20 south of Sidon. Sidon was the oldest Phoenician city, but Tyre had a longer and more illustrious history. The commerce of the whole world was gathered into the warehouses of Tyre. "Tyrian merchants were the first who ventured to navigate the Mediterranean waters; and they founded their colonies on the coasts and neighbouring islands of the AEgean Sea, in Greece, on the northern coast of Africa, at Carthage and other places, in Sicily and Corsica, in Spain at Tartessus, and even beyond the pillars of Hercules at Gadeira (Cadiz)" (Driver's Isaiah). In the time of David a friendly alliance was entered into between the Hebrews and the Tyrians, who were long ruled over by their native kings (2Sa 5:11; 1Ki 5:1; 2Ch 2:3). Tyre consisted of two distinct parts, a rocky fortress on the mainland, called "Old Tyre," and the city, built on a small, rocky island about half-a-mile distant from the shore. It was a place of great strength. It was besieged by Shalmaneser, who was assisted by the Phoenicians of the mainland, for five years, and by Nebuchadnezzar (B.C. 586-573) for thirteen years, apparently without success. It afterwards fell under the power of Alexander the Great, after a siege of seven months, but continued to maintain much of its commercial importance till the Christian era. It is referred to in Mt 11:21; Ac 12:20. In A.D. 1291 it was taken by the Saracens, and has remained a desolate ruin ever since. "The purple dye of Tyre had a worldwide celebrity on account of the durability of its beautiful tints, and its manufacture proved a source of abundant wealth to the inhabitants of that city." Both Tyre and Sidon "were crowded with glass-shops, dyeing and weaving establishments; and among their cunning workmen not the least important class were those who were celebrated for the engraving of precious stones." (2Ch 2:7,14). The wickedness and idolatry of this city are frequently denounced by the prophets, and its final destruction predicted (Isa 23:1; Jer 25:22; Eze 26:1-21; 28:1-19; Am 1:9-10; Zec 9:2-4). Here a church was founded soon after the death of Stephen, and Paul, on his return from his third missionary journey spent a week in intercourse with the disciples there (Ac 21:4). Here the scene at Miletus was repeated on his leaving them. They all, with their wives and children, accompanied him to the sea-shore. The sea-voyage of the apostle terminated at Ptolemais, about 38 miles from Tyre. Thence he proceeded to Caesarea (Ac 21:5-8). "It is noticed on monuments as early as B.C. 1500, and claiming, according to Herodotus, to have been founded about B.C. 2700. It had two ports still existing, and was of commercial importance in all ages, with colonies at Carthage (about B.C. 850) and all over the Mediterranean. It was often attacked by Egypt and Assyria, and taken by Alexander the Great after a terrible siege in B.C. 332. It is now a town of 3,000 inhabitants, with ancient tombs and a ruined cathedral. A short Phoenician text of the fourth century B.C. is the only monument yet recovered." Easton Bible Dictionary God bless, Johnny |

306 | who wrote the book of samuel | 1 Samuel | jlpangilinan | 63167 | ||
Samuel, Books of The LXX. translators regarded the books of Samuel and of Kings as forming one continuous history, which they divided into four books, which they called "Books of the Kingdom." The Vulgate version followed this division, but styled them "Books of the Kings." These books of Samuel they accordingly called the "First" and "Second" Books of Kings, and not, as in the modern Protestant versions, the "First" and "Second" Books of Samuel. The authors of the books of Samuel were probably Samuel, Gad, and Nathan. Samuel penned the first twenty-four chapters of the first book. Gad, the companion of David (1Sa 22:5), continued the history thus commenced; and Nathan completed it, probably arranging the whole in the form in which we now have it (1Ch 29:29). |

307 | Jesus know all things why marvelled? | NT general Archive 1 | jlpangilinan | 62983 | ||
No problem with that hank, My question is about the verses let me quoted here again those verses: Joh 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep In this very passages, the assessment of peter Christ know all things (this time Christ is still in His human form) Mt 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. In that passages (Christ in His human form) answers that no one know the hours but His father only. What do you think of the assessment of peter? did he made mistake? I hope it is clear now. I am not asking about being the omniscent of Christ in human form my question is about the differences between the assessment of peter against the writing of matthew. God bless |

308 | Jesus know all things why marvelled? | NT general Archive 1 | jlpangilinan | 62977 | ||
Ok, lets accepted that for a while that it could be translation error. but how about this verse: Mt 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. do you think it is very different from the assessment of Peter that Christ know all things. You maybe telling me that in matt 24:36 Jesus telling this to His desciples as a human and as lower than angels of course that He is not omnicent. But at the time that peter said that Christ know all things Crist still in His human form. God bless, |

309 | Flood kills whales and sharks | Genesis | jlpangilinan | 62969 | ||
Searcher, but they are still under heaven! Gen 6:17 "Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. So it shows that God destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven. If God destroy all life under heaven, how about the whales shark and other sea life, did noah took them in the ark in order to preserved some of them. God bless, Johnny |

310 | Concerning the ten commandments | Ex 20:2 | jlpangilinan | 62505 | ||
Romans 2:14 are referring to those do not have the chance to know God meaning for those people that for example died without knowing God or Christ. God will judge them in the law written in thier hearts. Ro 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Ro 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) We, we are considered gentiles before without no God and without Christ: Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But know we have Christ: Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. we are now have a part in salvation and promises to Israel, meaning the grace of Christ make the salvation open for everyone who will believed in Him even you are israelites or Christian. salvation is open for anyone! We, Christians and Israel will be judge but leave it to God how He do it. God bless, Johnny |

You said "One thing Abraham tithed long before the law Gen 14:20. Abraham did it to show honor. Can you think of any better way to put our faith to work than by honoring God with our money? Not because we have too but because we can. When you willingly give something that is so essential to our daily existance your showing your dependance in not on the gift but on the receiver of the honor." It is abraham give the tenth of all no one required him but he give, it is different for what happening today, the pastors required thier memners to give the tithe instead of love offering. Where did abraham his tithe anyway? Ge 14:16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. Ge 14:17 ¶ And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale. Ge 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. He slaughter Kings and took thier goods and give tithes of all. Do you think Christ will allow that kind of action? Do you think Christ will happy if I am going to kill somebody and took thier goods and give tithes of all? Please answer. To convice me that tithe ten percent is requirements for Christians today please show me any single teaching of Christ that He required anyone to give tithes to Him. He is God He is the most authority to receive tithes. Authority of receiving tithes are given to levi: eb 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. Are sons of levi that given the authority to receive tithes? (if you are jew I am sorry you have the authority under the law) God bless, Johnny |

312 | predestined or free will | Rom 8:29 | jlpangilinan | 62497 | ||
I presented those passages not to prove that He is not omipresent I presented those passages so you can explain it to me if God is omnipresent why those verses written that way? I asked you about the creation of Lucifer do you think that is not a valid question? What question do you want to answers anyway? You post, my friend so you should be anticipated that not everyone will agree with your statement. I am here to clarify and yet you ignore to answer. Its ok, I was thinking that you are open for criticsim. You said, "you are not going to fight with me" so do I, I am not participating to this forum for fight.

313 | predestined or free will | Rom 8:29 | jlpangilinan | 62401 | ||
What is the purpose of preaching the gospel to all nations if there are limits already to whom who can go to heaven? It good to just wait? the outcome is still the same! those predestined are those who will go to heaven. You said"AND God knows everything. So, from the beginning it was impossible for Him to be ignorant of who is and who isn't in the Lamb's Book of Life." can you please show the passages that will support word by word in this. I will appreciate that. I would like to asked some questioned here regarding your post that God know everything from the beggining to the end. Me I personally accepted that I dont know if God really knows or not. I personally accepted that my limited mind cannot decern those things, and I leave it to God. 1. If God knows from he beggining to the end it is that mean before He created Lucifer He knews that it will rebel againts Him and there are too many angel too that will joined lucifer? could you please show me the scriptures that will say Yes. 2. God knows that lucifer will rebel against Him and God still created lucifer even He knows that too many people will suffer and go to Hell? Do you mean God responsible for the evil because even He knew that if He created lucifer too many people will suffer and too many souls will tormented in Hell because He is creating someone that will start the suffering of Mankind. Ge 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. In this verse God tested the faith of Abraham, so He will know if Abraham feared Him, if God know already the result of the test of Abraham why He should testing abraham? Is he insecured kind of God? Ex 32:11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? Ex 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. In the verses above moses pray to God not to funish His people, and God repented, why God repented to the things that He know? He knew that He will not going to punish His people but then repented to the evil He though to His people? I have many things to ask you please explain to me those things first. God bless, Johnny |

You are right tithes is for God, under the law of moses the people of Israel commanded to give thier tithes to levites. But in the time of Christ, He never require anyone to give thier tithes. The apostle also not required thier folowers to give tithes to them. Giving that taught in the new testament goes: 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. according to purposes of the heart not 10 percent 20 percent but purposes of the heart. When the law given to israel it is sepcific to them and not for a Christian, when God give the ten commandments it is specific to them: 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. The lord made the covenant"with them not including thier father but "who are all of us here alive" we are not included them, not even thier fathers. tithe is included in the law of moses, and it 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. Why we have to required people to do things that cannot justify us? Or you will say that tithe is not included in the law of moses? God bless, Johnny |

317 | What are God's Names? | Gen 1:1 | jlpangilinan | 61907 | ||
I am talking of the hebrew scriptures, there is no letter "J" its impossible that JEHOVAH is the true name of the God the Father. the only letter that you found there is YHWH no one now alive to testify how they pronounce it in the time of moses. JEHOVAH only came out 14th century even the jews people which is belong to the Israel doesnt know about it how come that this is the name of the Lord God. If you want to believed me please show me the scriptures that Jesus Christ mentioned that the name of His Father is JEHOVAH or YAHWEH. The name of God the father that written is this. Isa 63:16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. "FATHER" everlasting father. We dont have to create any name for Him as Christ mentioned everytime in the new testament "Our Father" "My Father" Mt 6:9 ¶ After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Did Christ mentioned here, hallowed be thy name "JEHOVAH" or "YAHWEH"? God bless, Johnny |
||||||
318 | What are God's Names? | Gen 1:1 | jlpangilinan | 61823 | ||
In the hebrew scriptures you cannot find Jehovah or Yahweh there. The hebrews scriptures stated that the name of God that Moses know is YHWH but in our time no one heard how that name pronounce. word JEHOVAH only came out in the 14th Century I dont belived that God has no name before the 14th Century. Hebrew alphabeth has no letter "J" how come that the name of God is JEHOVAH which is included the letter "J" which is not included in the hebrew alphabeth. Y"A"HW"E"H ("A" "E")also an additional in the YHWH that written in the hebrew scriptures, the put "A" "E" to pronounce it YAHWEH. If you notice that Christ never mentioned the name of God the Father either it is JEHOVAH or not (of course in the bible of JWitnesses you can find it.) If the name of God the Father is Jehovah why Crist not told it to His desciples but instead He called His "Father" and our Father. In the book of Isa 63:16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. It mentioned there "Father" thy name is from everlasting. God bless, Johnny |

319 | Who wrote the truhth? | Matt 7:29 | jlpangilinan | 61819 | ||
I know that He is a Man at the time. I know that He has the body that can die. My question really is about the two desciples, Peter assesses that Christ know everything, as John wrote that passages, and if you notice Christ did not correct Peter when he said that, meaning peter was right when he said that Christ knew all things. Matthew has different assessment, he wrote that Jesus marveled when He found that great faith in the person of Roman officer. Who write the true assessment? Peter as written by John or the one of Matthew? God bless, Johnny |

320 | Women in pants? | Bible general Archive 1 | jlpangilinan | 60210 | ||
Did you read the post of the one I commenting to? He/She mentioned that wearing doesnt matter for a Christian. Do you suggest the same thing? Hank has a very good comment to tchwab kindly read them. What I am really want to say is that as a Christian we should follow an appropriate "dress code" so to speak. If we notice the fashion of today that there are people wearing approparite for a woman but I think is not appropriate for a Christian. There are women wearing almost nothing and go to a public place, I dont think if a follower of Christ then do the same thing. I know God look into our hearts, but how about the people around you? do you think they will not affected when saw you in a very seductive dress and go to a sunday worship? God bless, Johnny |
