James was writing to Christians.:)

I understand what you are saying,I just disagree.:) Note here,his refference back to the law..Not quite in a merciful way... James 2:10 -11 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also...

Yes..ok..I agree...BUT! Also keep in mind,in Acts 15,prior to the "rules" that James gave to the new converts. Paul,Peter and Barnabas had debated hotly against this,as per the men who wanted to try to use the law as a means to justification. Galatians 2,men sent from James. Paul ,about a...

Good honest thread. God imputes righteousness to the believer,in their hearts.The more of the holy writing inside,the less doubt one will have. However,in churches where the outer man is constantly being "confronted" you can forget about the true grace of God. 2 Corinthians 3:6 He has made...

Were they Aussies mate?^_^:blush:

1. Does he think he is anointed? 2. Has he ever considered a second job,like Paul and Barnabas had,not to live off others money,while home reading the bible,using highlighters. 3. Does he preach new covenant,untill it comes to tithing? 4. Does he allow freedom in his church,or does he...

Established? How? Ok,then you must offer up animal sacrifices.That was done too,and it had a purpose,but now we dont do that anymore.Titihing was established through.(hebrews 7:5) Moses,for the priests,now we dont do that anymore. They used to have an earthly priesthood,now we dont do that...

Emotions are very poweful,as you were angy underneath about other stressful issues..When I am feeling angry,I go outside,and pour out my complaint to Him who does not gasp and fall off the throne. Amazingly,as the energy gets released,the good feeling that you sought to have,through the...

Ok,if we want to be true.. Mail your checks to Jerusalem.:cool: Only tithe in the place God has chosen as the dwelling place for his name, that is Jerusalem (Deuteronomy12:11) Never tithe in your own city, only Jerusalem (Deuteronomy 12:17)

Sorry,but you cant have it both ways.Iif you are going to take mal 3:10 as a rule... 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much...

Yes,and it was food. Eat your tithe {Deuteronomy 14:23} As far as the storehouses.. God’s Word never describes New Covenant churches as “tabernacles,” “temples” or “buildings” in which God dwells! God’s church, God’s dwelling place, is...

Proof?

If the tithing preachers did that,we awould all be better off. Let them show the way! That does not mean that every Sunday,we are to be under a compulsion for the rest of our lives.Does it?

I pointed out a response to your post about giving. Paul said if you dont have it,he understood. The Malachi 3:9 curse,often wielded bt those who benefit by tithing,are misusing scripture. The curse for not keeping old covenant laws,was nailed to a tree. Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us...

Hello. Yes,and Paul was quite clear on that issue. 2 Cor 8:12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.

You are correct.Also it is read very much as a singular event,only once. Unlike today,where it has become law. Today the very lowest income class pays the largest percentage to charity. Yet most remain in poverty. Neither the lottery, nor the tithe is a magic get-rich-quick answer to replace...

Good word.

Good thought here. We as new covenant believers,vcant bu under a curse,for not obeying old covenant tithing laws.Jesus took the curse to the tree. Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on...

Clement was a disciple of Paul and Peter,certainly he knew their views.Look what he said here.As well as other church fathers! Clement of Rome (c95), Justin Martyr (c150), Irenaeus (c150-200) and Tertullian (c150-220) all opposed tithing as a strictly Jewish tradition. The Didache (c150-200)...

Like I said,Jacob offerered it with a condition for God.,he said ..IF....not good! Bad example of jacob the supplanter.(see red). You cant prove that Abraham tithed more than once,scripture is silent. Clearly you must go by what is written. If you want to use hm as an example,then you...
