401 | tithing | Acts 13:39 | jlpangilinan | 65189 | ||
Some clarifications, is tithing for you is ten percent of your income or love offering. If you are talking about ten percent, tithing is not a requirements for Christian today, there is no single teaching of Christ that will require anyone to give tithes but love offering. You cannot find any singel scene in the bible that Christ commanded anyone to give tithes to HIM. Tithes is included in the law of moses, and according to paul 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. Authority and commandments of receiving tithes was given to the levites not for me not for you not for any pastors of today: 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: If you are talking about love offering, you can give your offering by helping others. If you can find your home church then give to them what purposes of your heart, not ten percent, nor 20 percent but in what purposes of the heart. God love cheerful giver. 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. God bless, Johnny |

402 | is tithing for the NT Gentile | Acts 13:39 | jlpangilinan | 102901 | ||
You are correct, it is an old testament concept. Tithes is very part of the law. 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. It cannot justifed us. So why keep doing the things that cannot justify you. There is mistake of giving, make sure there is no one requireing you but you give out of love. No percentage if you can give more because you love God it is acceptable for Him. Aside from that Christ taught us to be consistent: 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. If you do part of the law you must observe all of it otherwise Christ will call us hypocryte. So what is it imply? i we observe the tithes which part of the law we must observe stoning our bretren if we caught them gathering stick in the day of sabbath. Nu 15:33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. Nu 15:35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. God bless, |

403 | earth being flat?? | Acts 13:47 | jlpangilinan | 118333 | ||
Science show us and prove that earth is round, four corners means the whole world or any secret place of the world. corners can also mean angle corner hebrew original word "gwniva" Translated word "Gonia" Phonetic Spelling go-nee'-ah Definition corner an external angle, a corner internal corner, i.e. a secret place. So earth is round today science prove that, you may also considered that before there are question that cannot be answered but answered by science. Job 38:4 ¶ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When God asked job if he knew the measures of the earth, Job doesnt know but the science now explain how many squaremiles the world was. Christ said to nicodemus that nicodemus heard the wind blow but did not know where it came from and where it goes. Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. But science predict it now where it came from from where it go or even when it come and how strong it is. Why Am i saying that, science discovered that the earth is round Bible did not contradict that. God bless, |

404 | Do you pay tithes on whole check or part | Acts 15:1 | jlpangilinan | 64248 | ||
Tithes is not a requirements for christian today, that law is given to israel not for the Christians, that its why in the whole new testament you cannot found any single teaching of Christ that will require everyone to pay the tithes to Him. Even the desciples and apostle they never require thier member to gives tithes 10 percent of thier income) Tithes is specifically given to the israelites, it was included in the law of moses. The law that given to israel in horeb are very specific to them. 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 "who are all of us here alive this day" we are not included in that law. Authority of receiving tithes was given to the levites not for any pastor today: 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: Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. You can ask your pastor if he is from the loins of levi and who pass to him the authority of receving tithes. Tithes indeed is included in the law of moses and according to Paul this will not 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. If you want to observe the law you have to observed it completely not only part by part. Why only tithes? Christian accepted that we are not justified by the law but observe part of the law. We have to be consistent if observe the tithes that very part of the you must observed the other part of the law such as stoned to death your brother and sister when you saw them gathering stick in the day of sabbath. If we are not consistent we are the same with scribes and pharisees: 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. The giving that taught of paul goes this: 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. not ten percent nor 20 but according to the puposes of the heart.

405 | Can one be saved by just repenting alone | Acts 16:1 | jlpangilinan | 60533 | ||
It is depend upon the situation, If we remember the one on the cross that asked forgiveness and received the promises of Christ. At the time there is no time for baptism but Christ forgive his sins. Fogiveness really is between you and God, if God forgive you in repentance alone then that's like what happen in the cross. But if are really forgiven and recieved forgiveness you should follow the teaching of Christ. There are people repent and die afterwards and have not time for baptism, God can justify that whether they are save or not. But for us that has the time to follow the teaching of Christ we should follow His teaching: 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: God bless, Johnny |

406 | Where can I find the story about Timothy | Acts 16:1 | jlpangilinan | 77035 | ||
Some entry about Timothy, hope it would helps Timothy honouring God, a young disciple who was Paul's companion in many of his journeyings. His mother, Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois, are mentioned as eminent for their piety (2Ti 1:5). We know nothing of his father but that he was a Greek (Ac 16:1). He is first brought into notice at the time of Paul's second visit to Lystra (Ac 16:2), where he probably resided, and where it seems he was converted during Paul's first visit to that place (1Ti 1:2; 2Ti 3:11). The apostle having formed a high opinion of his "own son in the faith," arranged that he should become his companion (Ac 16:3), and took and circumcised him, so that he might conciliate the Jews. He was designated to the office of an evangelist (1Ti 4:14), and went with Paul in his journey through Phrygia, Galatia, and Mysia; also to Troas and Philippi and Berea (Ac 17:14). Thence he followed Paul to Athens, and was sent by him with Silas on a mission to Thessalonica (Ac 17:15; 1Th 3:2). We next find him at Corinth (1Th 1:1; 2Th 1:1) with Paul. He passes now out of sight for a few years, and is again noticed as with the apostle at Ephesus (Ac 19:22), whence he is sent on a mission into Macedonia. He accompanied Paul afterwards into Asia (Ac 20:4), where he was with him for some time. When the apostle was a prisoner at Rome, Timothy joined him (Php 1:1), where it appears he also suffered imprisonment (Heb 13:23). During the apostle's second imprisonment he wrote to Timothy, asking him to rejoin him as soon as possible, and to bring with him certain things which he had left at Troas, his cloak and parchments (2Ti 4:13). According to tradition, after the apostle's death he settled in Ephesus as his sphere of labour, and there found a martyr's grave. EASTON BIBLE DICTIONARY God bless, |

407 | Gog and Magog from Genesis to Revelation | Acts 17:26 | jlpangilinan | 79684 | ||
Quote"One strange thing I notice is how Satan is able to decieve the nations to battle even after 1000 years of Christ's rule.end of quote. As I understand that verses satan was loosed out of prison after the 1000 years. Re 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, He deceive nations outside the camp of the saints not inside the camp. Re 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. Some preacher here conclude that Gog and Magog could be the biggest part of the earth that did not believed that there is God. God bless, |

408 | main sources of income | Acts 18:3 | jlpangilinan | 78034 | ||
Probably trading Paul source of income to support his ministry is being a tentmakers Ac 18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. God bless, |

409 | Did Apostle Paul make tents ? | Acts 18:3 | jlpangilinan | 163033 | ||
Yes! a tent maker, to made himself not a burden to a member of the church. 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. Apostle Paul is a excellent example of true apostle not just for preaching, but also in labor made himself not a burden to his church members. I do hope that pastors today are like him. God bless, |

410 | Only church members can be baptized? | Acts 18:8 | jlpangilinan | 64397 | ||
Today receiving physical baptism of course through the process. You have to listen to the doctrine of the specific church (for example baptist) you have to know the doctrine of the the baptist. You have to accept the doctrine before receving the physical baptism. I think it very hard to just baptized anyone without knowing the doctrine of the specific church first. Ac 18:8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. God bless, Johnny |

411 | Haunted Houses | Acts 19:16 | jlpangilinan | 69211 | ||
Welcome to the forum! The evil spirits will not possess the home but the people inside that home. They are not really after for that home but for the person that stay in that home. They can possess us if we have weak faith in God, and if God allows them to trouble us. 1Sa 16:14 ¶ But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. Ac 19:13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. Ac 19:14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. Ac 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? Ac 19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. |

maybe the person that borrowed money from you cause some more delays. The question is, are you still going to give that money to other members? It is depend upon the need of your brother and sisters did he/she need it really then yes. You mentioned that you have also the need of that money, who do you think need it most? You your family or your co-churches give it who need it most: Ac 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

413 | Paul is commanded to wash away sins? | Acts 22:16 | jlpangilinan | 78018 | ||
disciplerami, My stand on this topic will be baptism of the water is a contributor to our salvation, we have to do our part, when Christ do his part by giving us we have to do our part in response to His calling. Php 2:12 ¶ Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. I do believed that even ten hundred times we are going to baptize we are not save if we have no faith, I do believed that it is not the water who saves us but Christ. But if you ask me did a water baptism important, Yes! God commanded that, it is a contributor to our salvation. Christ do it Himself as an example. As He said if we love Him we keep His commandments, and baptism are one of those: Joh 14:15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments. God bless, |

414 | Water baptism the "one baptism"? | Acts 22:16 | jlpangilinan | 79069 | ||
Disciplerami, Yes, the are the same. Commandmensts on baptism indeed was came from One Lord, Jesus Christ. Ac 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Those desciples that received the commandments were the same objectives why the preach or evangelize. They will not contradict any of them. They same faith, from One Lord, which is Jesus Christ. They maybe wrote different but we know that they will not have different objective. Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, God bless, |
||||||
415 | Is evidence of faith necessary? | Romans | jlpangilinan | 77038 | ||
There are people that capable of giving evidence of thier faith, but there are people that cannot. There are people in the bible that capable of giving evidence of thier fate, for example Noah. Noah has faith in God therefore when God told him to make an ark he followed even it is take 120 twenty years before the flood came. Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Ge 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. Did Noah save by just faith? Noah save because He has faith in God and the evidence of that he make an ark that saves them from flood. Do you think if noah did not make the ark, do you believed that he has faith? If he did not make the ark, do you think he will be save in the flood? Paul said this verses also: 1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. "and though I have all faith so He could remove mountains, and have no charity, he is nothing" Charity indeed has evidence, so as faith has.: Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

416 | A Wonderful Plan? How do you know? | Rom 1:18 | jlpangilinan | 20270 | ||
Lionstrong, We know that God's love every human being, and God has plan for every creature. Your question is if God has plan who can change it? you, you can even change the plan for God for you because of your free will. Do you think the plan of God for Adam and Eve is to eat that forbidden fruit? Ge 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. but it was happend? Do you think part of plan of God that Lucufer become his opposer? but its happened. Do you think it is part of the plan of God that Judas will betray Him, if you said yes, and your God is not fair. So i think if God has plan for you dont accept his plan you can change it. For example God has a plan that you leave long here in this world but if you are going to jump from 100 floor of any building God will not stop you. Johnny |

417 | I agree But......... | Rom 1:18 | jlpangilinan | 27375 | ||
I think it is very clear in the verse 25 "who change the truth of God into a lie" Because they are talking of Idols worshipers and evildoers who worships creature more than God. They change "truth" of God into a lie. They change "truth" of God of Being God and replace it with Idols. Ro 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Ro 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 26. Ro 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. I hope it would helps. God bless, Johnny |

418 | Is it wrong to have pictures of Jesus? | Rom 1:23 | jlpangilinan | 27597 | ||
Rextar, How can we sure that the picture we have is the true Jesus Christ? If the picture that you have the one who used by the catholic church, Im sure it is not Jesus Christ. 1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 1Co 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. Apostle paul taught us that if the man have a long hair it is a shame, I dont think Jesus Christ will allow Himself to have a long hair and not cutting it as an example. Why do we have to have a kind of picture? Bible taught us to worship Him in Spirit and truth: Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. God bless, Johnny |

They're not wrong, if they cannot have baby even they tried it is not wrong, God created different kind of people, maybe they are not gifted to have sons and daughters. Ex 4:11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? But there is no couple in the Bible that has the same sex, it must be man and woman. Ge 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. God bless, |
