601 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | Val | 194632 | ||
So do you think we should give of our sheeps and goats like Abraham and the storehouse was the temple. So since the temple has been torn down what temple are you talking about? | ||||||
602 | Serious "option" for believers! | Ephesians | Val | 194570 | ||
2 Pet 1:3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. A further study of the word godliness tells us to pursue godliness so it is an ongoing continuous action. |

603 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | Val | 194563 | ||
I understand what you are saying about the tithe and personally believe that since we are saved by grace alone as the book of Galatins speaks that we have liberty in our relationship with Christ in many regards. My question is why do some pastors insist upon the tithe and some members make those who don't tithe feel inadequate by telling them they are out of God's will and they somehow don't love God as much as they do. I have even heard preaching that if you don't tithe that - they say - and I don't agree - that God will get it some other way. Why do you think they hang on to this teaching besides the obvious answer being they get to spend the money? | ||||||
604 | The existence of Satan | Bible general Archive 3 | Val | 194160 | ||
If you get Strong's concordance - you can look up all the references to Satan, the accuser of the brethen, the serpent of old. I would start in Genesis. | ||||||

I don't understand your train of thought, sorry. | ||||||
606 | Did Jesus speak at birth? | Heb 10:5 | Val | 193794 | ||
His public ministry began at around 30 and lasted for three years. If you read the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John you will be blessed. Always pray first for understanding and find a bible believing christian in your area to help you with any questions you might have. Perhaps this may be a family member or friend. Ask God to lead you to such a person. Hope this helps. Respectfully submitted, |

607 | what i personally think | Acts 2:38 | Val | 193792 | ||
Matt 3:13 Then Jesus *arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. Matt 3:14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?" Matt 3:15 But Jesus answering said to him, "Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he *permitted Him. Matt 3:16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, Matt 3:17 and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." As our Lord was baptized publicly we are baptized publicly. Since He was baptized, we follow Him by being baptized also like He was - publicly and as an act of obedience. Baptism also shows others that we are in the family of God. It also reminds them of our Lord and His life. We hope that others too will come to Him. It is a powerful witness for Him. |

Note in Acts 15:1 the men who are teaching falsely- adding to the gospel. Note in Acts 15:2 the meeting is called and the leaders meet to discuss this heated issue. Note in Acts 15:3-4 where they are and what they are doing. Note in Acts 15:5 they state the people who are adding to the gospel and why. Note in Acts 15:6 it is a joint decision of the leaders Note in Acts 15:7 Peter relates how God had spoke to him about the gentiles (anyone who is not a jew) By reading the entire book of Acts we get a feel for the book. In this verse he specifically states the gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. Note in Acts 15:8 that upon that belief they (the gentiles) were given the Holy Spirit. This is how the Jews were saved as Peter states (just as He also did to us). Note in Acts 15:9 Peter says there is no longer a distinction made between Jews and Gentiles - in the sense first that they are both saved the same way as is stated (their hearts cleansed by faith). Also, in the sense that the Jews were to accept the Gentiles - this was a new concept to them at the time. As you read the climate at that time the Jews disliked the Roman rule - most Romans were gentiles. Also the gentiles did not have the law, the tabernacle, the feasts - they were excluded. They were the people who were far away. Now they were included because God had revealed that to Peter. So the subject is how is anyone who is not a jew saved. Not only for those (the upset brethren)(15:1) but I submit for gentiles for all time. As to the conduct of the gentiles after salvation - in regards to abstaining from those things contaminated by idols. We know that Israel had gotten into deep trouble for idolatry and suffered God's judgment for that so they didn't want to make that mistake again. They wanted nothing to do with idols. Abstain from fornication - there are numerous references to a holy life that we are to follow. Abstain from what is strangled and from blood - there are numerous references to respect for life. Abstaining from these things would be binding on any gentiles who are turning to God as is stated in Acts 15:19 not for salvation but how to live a holy life. In this passage it explains how gentiles are saved and it explains a conduct after salvation. A question we might ask ourselves is how did the Lord view things contaminated by idols, fornication, what is strangled and from blood. Respectfully submitted, |

Could you elaborate more on the passage in the sense of how you come to the conclusion that it is not binding everywhere for all Christians saying it is quite specific. The passage in Acts 15:19-20. Respectfully submitted |

612 | Today, Christians are Israel | Heb 8:8 | Val | 193729 | ||
Lets study Romans then shall we. Lets read the entire book and get a feel for it. Romans has been called the constitution of our faith. Excellent choice. | ||||||
613 | Today, Christians are Israel | Heb 8:8 | Val | 193665 | ||
Doc, the nation of Israel and the church are two seperate groups. The church has not replaced the nation of Israel. There are promises that God has made to the nation of Israel that He has not made to the church. Could we discuss one passsage of scripture to make it simpler and easier in this forum if you like. You chose. Respectfully submitted. | ||||||

Could you elaborate more on the passage in the sense of how you come to the conclusion that it is not binding everywhere for all Christians saying it is quite specific. The book of James is not about how to be saved but how to live after one is saved. You are right the way to salvation is not by keeping the law but through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. |

In Acts 15:10 Paul is addressing a sect of Jews who were adding to the gospel by wanting to require the gentiles to become Jews. See verse 5. This was a transition point in which a meeting was called, see verse 1 and 2. The outcome of the meeting is stated in verse 19 and 20. These things; things contaminated by idols, fornication, what is strangled and from blood are not things that must be done to be saved but how to live after one is saved. In Galatians 2:11-14 Peter was making a distinction between Jews and gentiles and was not allowing fellowship between the two as is evidenced by his not letting them sit at his table. Again this is not adding to how to be saved but how to live after one is saved. Paul rebuked him for his behaviour no doubt because of Peter's great influence. In James 2:10 James is not saying how to be saved but how to live after one is saved. Some were showing partiality, see verse 9, and he compares this sin with the sin of adultery and murder. He is saying not to show partiality that it is a bad thing. He is showing them how to live after one is saved, how to treat our fellow man, see verse 12 and 13. |

617 | How long time! | Gen 17:3 | Val | 193428 | ||
God told Abraham He would make him a great nation. This statement means Abraham would have decendants or children. This was told Abraham at age 75. Abraham became a father to Isaac at age 100. The promise of a child through which the blessing would come was 25 years. |

618 | what is born again? | John 3:5 | Val | 193350 | ||
Very good, I will look up the cross references when I have more time. At this point I am having a little difficulty in seeing what you opposed in my answer to the questioner though. If you can help me out, lets look at it again. According to Ephesians 1:13 the sequence is: hear the gospel, believe the gospel, sealed with the Holy Spirt. In my answer I directed the questioner to read the gospels - (Born again is what happens to a person when they hear the gospel which is found in the New testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.) Believe the gospel (When a person responds to the message of the gospel by putting their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ thereby seeking to have a personal relationship with Him;) Sealed with the Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit comes into that person to live permanently until that person dies a physical death and then goes to heaven.) I also added the basics of the christian's life which is bible study and prayer. (The Holy Spirit will help that person have victory over sin in their life and follow the Lord Jesus Christ through reading the Holy Bible and prayer to the Father.) I encouraged the questioner to seek the Lord and my prayer that they would be born again. (It is a wonderful life and I pray you will seek Him and be saved (born again) There is nothing in your post about evangelism upon immediate reading that I disagree with. I realize that you are very knowledgeable and hope you will take this as my way of trying to understand our differences. Thank you in advance |
