61 | PROVE ME: God's challenge to tithers | Bible general Archive 2 | Radioman2 | 102947 | ||
capemimi: You write: "From these tithes you must give the LORD's portion to Aaron the priest." It is not clear to me how we are to do this, since there is a new priesthood, one that is not according to the order of Aaron. Hebrews 7:11-14 (ESV) Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? [12] For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. [13] For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. [14] For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

62 | Are we supposed to observe the Sabbath? | Bible general Archive 2 | Radioman2 | 102944 | ||
"Are the Sabbath laws binding on Christians today? " ____________________ "Nowhere in the Old Testament are the Gentile nations commanded to observe the Sabbath or condemned for failing to do so. That is certainly strange if Sabbath observance were meant to be an eternal moral principle." ____________________ "We believe the Old Testament regulations governing Sabbath observances are ceremonial, not moral, aspects of the law. As such, they are no longer in force, but have passed away along with the sacrificial system, the Levitical priesthood, and all other aspects of Moses' law that prefigured Christ. . . . Here are the reasons we hold this view. "In Colossians 2:16-17, Paul explicitly refers to the Sabbath as a shadow of Christ, which is no longer binding since the substance (Christ) has come. It is quite clear in those verses that the weekly Sabbath is in view. The phrase "a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day" refers to the annual, monthly, and weekly holy days of the Jewish calendar (cf. 1 Chronicles 23:31; 2 Chronicles 2:4; 31:3; Ezekiel 45:17; Hosea 2:11). If Paul were referring to special ceremonial dates of rest in that passage, why would he have used the word "Sabbath?" He had already mentioned the ceremonial dates when he spoke of festivals and new moons. "The Sabbath was the sign to Israel of the Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 31:16-17; Ezekiel 20:12; Nehemiah 9:14). Since we are now under the New Covenant (Hebrews 8), we are no longer required to observe the sign of the Mosaic Covenant. "The New Testament never commands Christians to observe the Sabbath. "In our only glimpse of an early church worship service in the New Testament, the church met on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7). "Nowhere in the Old Testament are the Gentile nations commanded to observe the Sabbath or condemned for failing to do so. That is certainly strange if Sabbath observance were meant to be an eternal moral principle. "There is no evidence in the Bible of anyone keeping the Sabbath before the time of Moses, nor are there any commands in the Bible to keep the Sabbath before the giving of the law at Mt. Sinai. "When the Apostles met at the Jerusalem council (Acts 15), they did not impose Sabbath keeping on the Gentile believers. "The apostle Paul warned the Gentiles about many different sins in his epistles, but breaking the Sabbath was never one of them. "In Galatians 4:10-11, Paul rebukes the Galatians for thinking God expected them to observe special days (including the Sabbath). "In Romans 14:5, Paul forbids those who observe the Sabbath (these were no doubt Jewish believers) to condemn those who do not (Gentile believers). "The early church fathers, from Ignatius to Augustine, taught that the Old Testament Sabbath had been abolished and that the first day of the week (Sunday) was the day when Christians should meet for worship (contrary to the claim of many seventh-day sabbatarians who claim that Sunday worship was not instituted until the fourth century). "Sunday has not replaced Saturday as the Sabbath. Rather the Lord's Day is a time when believers gather to commemorate His resurrection, which occurred on the first day of the week. Every day to the believer is one of Sabbath rest, since we have ceased from our spiritual labor and are resting in the salvation of the Lord (Hebrews 4:9-11). "So while we still follow the pattern of designating one day of the week a day for the Lord's people to gather in worship, we do not refer to this as "the Sabbath." ____________________ (www.gty.org) Click on Issues and Answers.

Are we supposed to observe the Sabbath? Do you really want to know or are you here to argue the issue, having already taken a position, pro or con? I don't mean to be rude. But many, many times questions such as this are asked by people who have already made up their minds. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. (NASB Matthew 22:29) But Jesus replied to them, You are wrong because you know neither the Scriptures nor God's power. (AMPLIFIED Matthew 22:29) |

71 | PROVE ME: God's challenge to tithers | Bible general Archive 2 | Radioman2 | 102465 | ||
Tithing is not God's challenge. Tithing is a command given to Israel in the Law. It is not tithing but GIVING that is "a matter of attitude and the love for God..." Throughout Scripture giving to God is always voluntary. "Tithes were not primarily gifts to God, but taxes for funding the national budget in Israel." "New Testament believers are never commanded to tithe. " "All giving apart from that required to run the government was purely voluntary (cf. Exodus 25:2; 1 Chronicles 29:9). Each person gave whatever was in his heart to give; no percentage or amount was specified. "New Testament believers are never commanded to tithe. Matthew 22:15-22 and Romans 13:1-7 tell us about the only required giving in the church age, which is the paying of taxes to the government." "The guideline for our GIVING to God and His work is found in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7: "Now this I say, he who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver." ____________________ (www.gty.org) (Emphasis added.)

Hank: Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I, too, have been weighed in the balances and found wanting, in the opinion of George. Haven't you heard? I am "with limited or no discernment and, or void of understanding." Woe is us. I guess if anyone disagrees with him it is because that person is mentally deficient or an ignorant fool. --Radioman2 |

In other words, you cannot answer my question. You cannot tell us the book, chapter and verse where it SAYS what you say it does. Am I "with limited or no discernment and, or void of understanding"? |

George: You write: 'In the case of the "prodical son". Had that son died in the process of splurging his inheritance, would he have died within the will of his father? I think not. The father would have grieved because he loved the child, but he would have never condoned the childs action.' George, in the story of the prodigal son the adult child's action may have interrupted fellowship with his father, but at what point did he cease to be the son of his father?

George: Exactly where in Scripture does it say that one "can remove his name from the Lambs Book of life"? Please give us the book, the chapter and the verse where it actually says this. I know you used the word "teaches," but since you put it in quotation marks, I'd like to know what verse of the Bible says that one "can remove his name from the Lambs Book of life." In this post, I'm not trying to argue or debate the Once Saved Always Saved question. I merely ask where in the Bible does it actually come right out and say that. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

Figgy: My thoughts are that I am in agreement with you. The concept of God having a greater or lesser degree of sovereignty is totally foreign to me. That would be similar to asserting that there are degrees of omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

"But to answer your question...No, I believe that God is always ruling over all things and at all times." John: Thank you for providing an answer that is both Scriptural and reasonable. It seems to me that one would need to re-define (make up his own definition of) the word "sovereignty" before one could think that God had limited sovereignty. But, have you noticed, almost no one on this forum ever mentions the fact that man has LIMITED free will? No, the FREE WILL of man is always spoken of as though it were absolute and unlimited. Also, thanks for the fine quote from A.W. Pink. Grace to you, Radioman2 |
