41 | Kill your brother and drink strong drink | James 2:10 | petedavis6263 | 211039 | ||
Dear John, Thank you for your advice. I will stop my reading of the bible in Deuteronomy and go to the New Testament. By the way, what does pedantic mean in bible study? Also I don't understand how it is that I should learn if I don't read and ask questions. I'm shocked that you feel I am pestering my pastor. How do you suggest that I should learn? God Bless, Pete |

Cheri, My pastor also told me that we must obey God rather than man. He said that is also God's word. Are you saying that I must obey the law of the land instead of God? Pete |

Keliy, You said, "...but God's Word is unchanging and can be discerned..." This is what troubles me, my pastor tells me the same thing, but when I asked him about discerning God's word regarding tithe money to buy strong drink (Deut 14:26) and killing your brother if he should want to lead you away from God (Deut 13:10), he contradicts God and violates Deut 12:32, "Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it." He tells me not to drink strong drink, much less use my tithe money to buy any and by no means should I even consider killing anyone who might want to talk me out of loving God. I do agree with you that 2 Tim 3:16-17 is a valuable passage, and this is why I am troubled, how am I to follow God's words without changing some of them like my pastor teaches? Pete |

Shalom Cheri, As you say ..." it's talking about someone who comes in as one of your own and by his/her wiles leads you astray before you even know what has happened." Then is it true what Deut13:10 says, you must kill that person? Pete |

Hello to all, I am new to bible study. I am reading the bible from the beginning and now I have a question as I am going through Deuteronomy, chapters 10-14. Can anybody help? Here is the scenario: Just imagine for a minute, that you are an Israelite living during the time of Deuteronomy. You really love God and his messenger, Moses. Not long after the Ten Commandments (Deut 10) were given, Moses continued to issue God's statutes and laws along with severe warnings against disobedience. You are concerned as anyone would be for fear of making a mistake. However, God promises many blessings (Deut 11), all you need to do is earnestly obey His commandments, judgments and statutes. God warns you (Deut 12:32), "Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it." God is not messing around. He even commands you to kill your brother or any other family member if they try to entice you away from Him (Deut 13:10). God issues a list of clean and unclean foods (Deut 14:2-21), for you are a holy people chosen to be a special treasure above all other people on the face of this earth. God gives specific instructions regarding the payment of tithe and in certain instances when the tithe cannot be carried to the place where God had chosen, you are instructed to sell the tithe and use the money to buy whatever your soul lusteth after (Deut 14:22-26). You may buy oxen, sheep, wine, or strong drink and enjoy it all before the Lord, you and your family. This is what the Lord hath commanded. Now just imagine that you never died and you are still living in the year 2008, some 3,500 years later. Just imagine that you just met up with a Seventh-day Adventist minister who tells you the Ten Commandments are still in force and the list of clean/unclean foods is still valid, however, God's command to kill your brother, His command to use your tithe money to buy meat, wine and strong drink so that you can enjoy them with your family, well that's just out of the question. God was wrong to mislead you. He really didn't realize how bad it would be to kill family members nor did He realize how much trouble fermented drinks were going to be in these modern times. And most of all, the church needs your tithe money. Here's the question, If you are to disregard what God says about killing your brother and what God says about using tithe money to buy whatever your soul lusteth after, how are you going to obey Deut 12:32, which God explicitly commands to change nothing? Thoroughly stumped, Pete |
