Subject: Releases from tithing 10 per cent? |
Bible Note: Charis, Did I state that giving is not pleasing to God? What I mentioned here many times that if you can give more than 10 percent of your income it is acceptable to God. What wrong with this guideline of giving. I gave you the example of the widow, that mentioned of Jesus Christ, she gave everything she have, it is very clear that in the motive she gave more than a tithe. You quote me here,: In principle of this law remains, and is incorporated in the gospel (1Co 9:13-14); and if, as is the case, the motive that ought to prompt to liberality in the cause of religion and of the service of God be greater now than in Old Testament times, Of course the motive now of a Christian is more than what we have in the Old Testament times "In principle of this laws remains" of course do you think When we observed the two Great Commandments do we disobey the law? Please Answer.(with a passages support) We are fulfilling more, you would agree? When you love God with all your heart, with all your strenght, all your soul, what is it in the law did disobey? Please Answer? (with a passages support) When you love your nieghbor as you love yourself, What is it the law that you disobey? Pleas answer (with a passages support) That is why in principle this laws remains. I think it is very clear. The example of Apostle Paul is a very strong statement that the motive of Christian is strong in the Testament. The example of the widow is a very clear example that love offering is more acceptable to GOD. Your Question: This sounds just like asking for money, maybe even 'requiring' it! Also, these do not sound like your words. May I ask who you quote here? ' Can you prove to me that I mentioned that in the New Testament we dont need to give anymore? What I mentioned is the guideline should be came from the heart. I did not mention anything that we dont need to give, But my stand is God love a cheerful giver. Charis, Can you please prove me that I misused the scriptures when I depend my stand. You always mentioned "your point" can we turn this discussion into a biblical? meaning when you depend your stand support it with a passages in the Bibble. We are not arguing here just based on on personal knowledge but what scriptures says. If your stand is truly correct then support it with the passages in the Scriptures. You keep ignoring my argument my friend, My argument is, please show me that Jesus Christ taught his desciple to give tithes to Him. Or He required Himself as an Example to do so, like when He required himself when He asked John to baptize Him. Then I would agree that the tithe is the right guidelines of giving. I hope you wont ignore it this time. Thanks anyway for mentioning that I have a "DEZZYING INTELLECT" just prove your stand base on scriptures not with your own toughts. We have to look to the authorize of the books in the bible and not with our own reason. If you can prove me wrong base on the scriptures, then I will accept THAT I HAVE A "DEZZYING INTELLECT" God bless! Johnny |
