41 | Christ did not do away with the tithe | Gen 14:20 | teragram123 | 59588 | ||
Genesis 14:18-20 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. [19] And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: [20] And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Leviticus 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord. Leviticus 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. It is interesting to note that those that do not want to give a tithe will claim they are not under the law but Grace. Yet this action of Abraham to Melchizedek was about 400 years before the law came into being. Christ was after the order of Melchizedek and not after that of Aaron. which symbolizes the law. Hebrews 7:1-10 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, [2] and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means "king of righteousness"; then also, "king of Salem" means "king of peace." [3] Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever. [4] Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder! [5] Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people--that is, their brothers--even though their brothers are descended from Abraham. [6] This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. [7] And without doubt the lesser person is blessed by the greater. [8] In the one case, the tenth is collected by men who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. [9] One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, [10] because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor. Psalm 110:4 The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 5:6 And he says in another place, "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." Christ did not do away with the tithe which means a tenth. Luke 11:42 "Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter “ without leaving the former undone” |

42 | Is to lay in bed with another a sin? | 2 Tim 2:22 | teragram123 | 59584 | ||
Romans 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 1 Cor. 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 1 Cor. 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 John 3:3-5 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. [4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. [5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. It does not matter how new in Christ you are... but how you believe His Word. His Word does not change to fit the loose morals of our day, but it does warn us about the condition of the last days. Ask not how close to sin you may live and still be in Christ... but rather how close to Christ can we abide and see Him manifested into this dark world. It is not about my freedom but my holiness... Not my rights but HIS kingdom and glory. Ask yourself... does it glorify Christ and exalt HIS name or does it merely satisfy my flesh. Keep your eyes on Jesus and not those who claim to be believers. 1 Cor. 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, [10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. [11] And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 2 Tim. 3:1-5 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, [4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; [5] Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. |

sacrifice of leaders con't... Pastor Francis Frangipane's Weekly Message August 30, 2002 TOMORROW'S LEADERS, TODAY'S SACRIFICE The oak tree grows out of the grave of the acorn. Return to the Cross Those who will be tomorrow's leaders will pay God's price today. Other How does a disciple actually suffer with Christ? At the core of our existence, we choose to let the way of Christ guide us rather than the way of man. The cross is the cost we pay so Christ's redemption will succeed. Our cross puts to death our self-preservation instincts, as well as our fleshly ideas and ambitions. Before Jesus will truly manifest in power in our lives, He requires an end to striving with our flesh. Self must die for Christ to manifest in power. If we will become those to whom God entrusts His kingdom, we must envision ourselves crucified. We must purpose to see Christ revealed and living within us. And we must see the time of extended preparation, however long it takes, as fundamental to our future success. Consider: Jesus lived thirty years of surrendered obscurity. Yet His life was not hidden from God; His life was hidden in God. Without outward signs or works of power, inwardly Jesus carried a cross. Daily, He chose to die to the voice of self-interest; without interruption, He lived in the warmth of His Father's pleasure. As a blue collar worker, in the mundane tasks of human existence, Jesus' life increased the bliss of God. How did He, not as a miracle worker but as a wood worker, attract the Father's unswerving focus? Jesus never silenced the voice of love nor separated His heart from its trust in God. We, too, must not assume that because men do not acknowledge us that God Himself is indifferent. If we are truly living for God, He will notice. If we are genuinely living in pursuit of Him, He will certainly measure our progress and, in time, reward our hunger with His substance. It is Needful that We Die to Self It is easy to be false, but only with difficulty do we become true followers of Jesus Christ. If we would have the Spirit of God become real to us, we must first become real with Him. Our superficiality must die and our outer man buried. Yes, we are sheltered in the Father's love, but His love does not protect us from growing up. His sheltering presence keeps us from evil, but it does not keep us from having to change. Thus, part of God's provision, even in the midst of our blessedness, is the crucifixion of our old nature. Indeed, to facilitate this death process, Christ accommodates the adversarial conflicts which come against us and uses them to perfect us. We cry, "God, protect me." But the Almighty seeks not so much to protect us, but to perfect us. Our perfection, our maturity, our conformity to Christ's faith, love and character is the protection offered by the Father. You see, there are enemies in our lives from whom God has no intention of delivering us until we have changed. They are specifically and divinely allowed, for they attack and destroy that element of our nature that lives outside of our conformity to Christ. In other words, you will always have people slandering you until you are un-manipulated by the words of man. You will frequently have people who curse you until you learn to bless them, and not react. |

45 | why blood for sin-offering? | Heb 9:22 | teragram123 | 59360 | ||
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Genesis 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. God's righteous law demands restitution... life for life. 2 Cor. 5:18-19 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Hebrews 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Therefore Christ fulfill all righteousness... bringing reconciliation of man back to God by HIS own blood Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Hebrews 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Rev. 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, |

46 | Identifying the born again moment | NT general Archive 1 | teragram123 | 58477 | ||
You could make this very hour the point of total commitment to Christ... a moment to point to when the enemy causes you to doubt... the day and the hour does not matter... but the fact that you made the commitment. Journal your commitment for your own benefit... the Lord knows the time in the past and has it recorded in HIS records. But I find my journal has become a very strong weapon during battles. Rev. 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. |

47 | Isn't adultrey grounds for divorce? | Hosea | teragram123 | 58197 | ||
I am sorry if my response came across as uncaring. I care too much at times and get very involved in the fight to keep marriages together... not merely defend the excuse so many use today for divorce. I have found that most people claiming the divorce clause had lost the luster of their marriage long before the excuse came about and jumped at the way out... saying Christ made the way out. Did not Christ tell the Pharisees that it was not so in the beginning? Besides if adultery is the only clause for Christians to divorce... why is it not the reason that is put before the divorce court? Everything else is named against the spouse. .. but again as Christians are we to go to court one against another? I find it rather hard to take a spouse to court and still fulfill the Love verse... 1 Cor. 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. [5] It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. [6] Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. [7] It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. [8] Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. But again... if most be honest with their own heart... they were getting burned out on the relationship long before the unfaithfulness came in.... could it be the reason for the unfaithfulness? Maybe we should rename the reason for divorce- selfishness, or love-less- ness? Vows are made on the mountain tops and walked out in the valleys of our life. No body needs a vow on their wedding night... but years later when there just isn’t the spark (lust? maybe?) left in the relationship. That is the very reason the vows were made in the first place... correct? |

58 | Isn't adultrey grounds for divorce? | Hosea | teragram123 | 58114 | ||
Adultery is not the unpardonable sin, but Christians have made it so... accept if it is for ourselves that is... than we of course plead grace and mercy. Adultery is grounds for forgiveness and walking out our vows. It seems that when we want out of our marriage adultery is just an excuse for un-forgiveness and hardness of the heart. If we can't stay with someone who has been unfaithful to us, can we expect forgiveness for our own failings. Isn’t it obvious that people leave one spouse to join another... though that person may have been unfaithful to their mate... yet we “forgive” the sin and marry them. Why not admit to the hardness of the heart and pray for forgiveness instead of breaking your vows. |

59 | Grace is given for a Holy Life | 2 Tim 2:1 | teragram123 | 58108 | ||
2 Tim. 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Philip. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 2 Cor. 12:19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. Philip. 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Grace is given for a Holy Life... not to enable me to do my will and get forgiven. Grace is not explained anywhere in scripture as a coverup for sin... but always as an enduement of power to overcome sin. No sin shall enter Heaven. Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. |

These things that you describe are only signs that were are truely in the last days. 2 Tim. 3:1-7 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, [4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; [5] Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. [6] For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, [7] Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. God is still a Holy God... and tells His followers to be holy... this is the way we are separated from the tares among us. Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Hosea 14:9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. Remember the true church is not a brick and mortar building but the saints of the Living God. |
