461 | who wrote second corinthians and why. | 2 Cor 6:4 | jlpangilinan | 63931 | ||
leon figgins, Welcome to the forum! Apostle Paul He wrote it as part of His evangelical works to reach them the teaches of Christ, as well as reach us today through the bible. The contents of this epistle may be thus arranged: (1.) Paul speaks of his spiritual labours and course of life, and expresses his warm affection toward the Corinthians (1-7). (2.) He gives specific directions regarding the collection that was to be made for their poor brethren in Judea (8; 9). (3.) He defends his own apostolic claim (10-13), and justifies himself from the charges and insinuations of the false teacher and his adherents. God bless, Johnny |

462 | Tilthe calculation:On gross or net pay? | 2 Cor 9:1 | jlpangilinan | 13112 | ||
On what basis is tilthe on salary calculated(gross or net after deductions)? My Answer: In the new testament there is no teaching of Jesus Christ, about tilthe, the teaching goes 2 Corinthians 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. The teaching about tilthe is the teaching of Moses, I not telling here that the teaching of Moses was wrong. I will give you some verses please read it carefully Mark 9:5-7 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. "For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him." If you notice from the paragraph that I quoted "For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid." Before Peter finish what he is going to say: (and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.") What is the meaning of this, God the tell them this is my beloved son: hear Him." Why the Lord God not tell Peter "Here they are hear them" Meaning all kind of teaching that Jesus Christ is going to teach us Him we are going to hear and follow. I did not say that we are not going to follow the teaching of Moses, But those teaching of Moses that Jesus Christ also continue taught. How about the teaching of Moses that Jesus Christ not taugh anymore, Are we going to follow those teaching? Example of Moses that not applicable for gentiles: "Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; " Ephesians 2:11-12 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 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: I hope this will help In Christ, Johnny |

463 | Tithing or grace giving/2 Cor. 8 and 9? | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 21964 | ||
Your question: Is tithing a New Testament requirement for believers, or "grace giving" of 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9? My answer is it is not requirement. There is no teaching of Jesus Christ that will require anyone to give thier 10 percent. The tithe is including in the law of moses, and it will not Justified 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. But I am not telling here that giving is wrong, if you can give more than 10 percent of your income it accptable to God the wrong is we require our bother and sisters to give 10 percent of thier income. 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. It is not the requiremnts of how much you give but how much you love to give. Johnny |

464 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 22135 | ||
Prayon, Let me again use this verse to explain my stand. 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. When this teaching received by paul in Jesus Christ it is the passage that will free us from that law. Do you agree that tithe is including in the law of moses? it is mentioned there that we are not justified by the law of moses. As christians we are now observe the teaching of Jesus Christ, we also now eat the food that according to the teaching moses is not allowed for the Jew. My question to you now is why we exclude tithe from all those things? Do you think you can show me that when apostle paul say those passage he exclude the tithe? Ephesians 2:11-12 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 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: We also not observe the law called circumcision, why we are not observe those things which included in the law of moses, why we still observed the tithe which is included also in the same law? It is look we are not consistent? Luke 18:12-17 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. In that verses its very clear that we are not going to be justified by the law of Moses if recall he tell Jesus that He followed carefully the commandments of Moses (ten commandments and others) but then the question Is he justified? If you can show me that tithe is excluded in the law of Moses and I will observe the tithe. But then if you observe one of those laws you must observe all the teaching included in that same laws. Matthew 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. Again I am not telling anyone that giving is wrong, if you can give more than your 10 percent it is acceptable to God, but it is not a requirement. It is not important how much you can give but the most important is how much you love to give because God love the cheerful giver. Thank you, Johnny |

466 | Where is the line? | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 22139 | ||
Prayon, Do you mean we are not release from the law of Moses? I think it is not right when you mentioned we were released. Becuase until now of course when you observed the two great commandments whic is given by Jesus Christ you also observed all things in the ten commandments. But my question to you now is, do you really observed them as Jew people doing it, or you observing it like what Jesus Christ taught us? Questions: 1. Do you not do any work on sabbath day? 2. Do you really not eat pork and other meat or food that Jewish people not eat.? 3. If you see other people do work on sabbath day did you kill them or stoned them to death? Because according to law do any work on sabbath day, is punishable by death. If your answer is no! then you have been free from the law of moses which is include tithe. Just show me my friend, that tithe is not included in the law of Moses and we will agree. Jesus Christ observed the ten commandments different from the teaching of Moses,Jesus Christ do a lot of work on Sabbath day. and it punisable by death. Lu 4:31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. Lu 6:1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. Lu 6:2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? When Jesus Christ do this things He free us from that law. Or you will say that Jesus Christ not observe the law? In addition my friend, (I hope we belong to same belived which is Christianity, I could be mistaken if one of us will belong to Jewish)i will put some passages here. Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. It was mentioned there on that passages The lord make a new covenant "Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers" do you think tithe or ten commandment are not included in that first covenant? If your answer is NO! then show me that they exclude tithe and ten commandments when they mentioned that. I hope I will not offended you in my kind of questions Thanks Johnny |

469 | Tithing fact or fiction | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 125948 | ||
If the tithe he is talkig about is 10 percent of the income, it is not applicapble today. 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. If you give a certain amount to any members, it is means that you required them under the law. Giving under the Christ teaching is love offering, the amount that purpose of your heart. Tithe is under the law of moses, law as apostle paul said 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. Why keep doing the things that will not justify us? Aside from that, we are commanded not to fufill only part of the law, but all of the law. If someone taught us to observe part of the law, you must observe all of it, otherwise Christ will call us hypocrytes. 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 observe the law of the tithes, you must observe other matters on it such as stone to death your brother and sisters if you found them going out in sabbath day, stone to death those committed aldultery, you must not eat the food that prohibited by the law etc. etc. Christ fulfill the law different ways, we must always be reminded about that. Giving is good, if you can give half, full, or everything you have, it is acceptable to God. But NO amount required. God bless, |

470 | Does talents and gifts not count as tith | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 125958 | ||
Not necessarily, Mt 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. "the things unto God's" Mt 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. That is what Christ asking us, not just a dollar, pound, peso etc. it is love. If you you are going to ask if ten percent is requirements for today NO! God bless, |

472 | Are these churches cults? | Gal 1:7 | jlpangilinan | 26740 | ||
We can justify any religious congregation is cult if thier doctrine is not the Bible. If you their doctrine is not in the scriptures it is true that they are cult. God bless, Johnny |

473 | Door-to-door false teachers | Gal 1:8 | jlpangilinan | 63419 | ||
Read study the scriptures, in that way we know what are false teaching of todays prophets. If you now very well the bible then you can distinguise what teaching are false and what teaching is right! As apostle paul said: Ga 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. If anyone will tell you and teach you but not included in the scriptures, let them accursed! but how do we know that they teach us false teaching if we dont read the bible? So what we have to do is study the word of God. But the easiest things to depend aginst them is just say no to them! if they want to go to your house just say no! (Joke only) God bless, Johnny |

474 | Is C. Dollar teaching the truth? | Gal 1:8 | jlpangilinan | 71979 | ||
The standard of who teaching the truth is the word of God. As paul said even angel from heaven taught the gospel different from them must accursed: Ga 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Please read the Bible always, compare the teaching of C.Dollar and from your own, you can say if he taught the truht or not. God bless, |

475 | Why God only help Israeal people? | Gal 3:8 | jlpangilinan | 83346 | ||
God help wants to help everybody, the question is are this people wants help from a true God or in thier idols. God help egypt during the tribulation through Joseph. Joseph interpret the dream of thier paraoh and give the abundance in 7 years before the tribulation came. They are the riches that time but the question is are they believed in God of Joseph? are they believed even after the wonders that brought to thier eyes through moses. Ex 3:20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go. They dont believed to the God moses, they have thier own God, but did God dont help them, they breath the oxygin from God, the sun waters that provided by God. Christ also said we have to ask and we were given. Mt 7:7 ¶ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Are this people ask from God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? No they pray in thier God of golds. God bless, |

476 | Is there a verse about smoking. | Gal 5:19 | jlpangilinan | 60505 | ||
In our church, we consider smoking as uncleanliness, it is the same as drugs it is not mentioned in the bible. Ga 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 1Co 6:9 ¶ 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, Ga 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, we allow intake of wine for those who need it and can help them, some of them has high blood pressure and hearth illment so if the doctor advise them to take some wine we consider it. Even paul advise timothy to do the same thing. 1Ti 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. You are very confident that you cannot lose ypur salvation, but I hope you can lose and quit smoking. God bless, Johnny |

Ga 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Ga 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. If we have holy spirit in our life, we should have that fruit in our life. We will become what nine fruit stated in those verses. God bless, Johnny |

478 | all things | Eph 1:9 | jlpangilinan | 69554 | ||
Ro 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Upon some points a believer is absolutely sure. He knows for instance that God has soverign power, and all things happened to the people that love God has good purpose, even it cost death loss or suffering. This verse explain Ro 8:28 Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: God bless, Johnny |

479 | and to me if all of us believe the same | Eph 2:8 | jlpangilinan | 55501 | ||
The bible is right, it is the people that has different interpretations. Bible is debatable that ia why too many congregetion we have now. You said "if we believed the same thing" people has different believed in what they read in the bible this is the reason why we have different religions. There are people that want to worship idols, there are people that want to require tithes to thier members, there other that believe Christ is just God with an small "g" other believed that His only a human like us. As you said "it hard to get an understanding of what the right way is" use the bible as your guide it will not make you loose. Regarding to choose of what religion is right, dont just listen of what they telling you, observe if they produce the good fruit, because you will knew them in thier fruits: Mt 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Mt 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. If they are producing good fruits they are the right religion, you are right all religions are claiming to be the true, but you will recognize them in thier fruit. God bless, Johnny |

480 | what are the good works or good fruits? | Eph 2:8 | jlpangilinan | 55620 | ||
If we are reading the bible very often you can define what good fruit of them, not just for the nieghborhood but how to follow the example of Christ and His apostle to serve God. If they done the same thing, they are the true flocks. If they follow the word of God correctly. We have to read the bible so we can define what we have to believed or not. God bless, Johnny |
