I met a Democrat this past weekend that hates Universal Healthcare as it is known in America. I don't think this is a You vs Us or Repubs vs Dems kind of thing. He experienced Obamacare and dropped it and is now paying for private healthcare insurance. Also, I remember that the Dems were...

Is that all you have, Stan? In summary then, you are showing the readers that you have no scriptural evidence at all that the Apostles taught the law of tithing and you have no real understanding of the Scriptures. Not only did they not teach it as it is applied today, but they did not teach it...

I'm not really sure what the author means by the word, shunning. I think the scriptures are more descriptive.

Link Suspected Al Shabab Islamists opened fire on two somali Christian leaders in Garissa, Kenya, killing one immediately and wounding the other. Rev. Abdi Welli Ahmed, a longtime missionary in West Africa and East Africa, was shot and killed this morning around 11:00 AM local time. Pastor...

I don't think "heat" is the right word. More like stench from a garbage dump.

Amen!!!

Stan, the limb you are on is about to break. What other teachings are not in the NT that NT Gentiles in the Early Church were expected to know about? There is no teaching by the Apostles or Jesus regarding NT Tithing. NT Tithing is drastically different than OT Tithing. This is a critical and...

Sometimes, God takes whatever measures are necessary to bring you back to Him. Do we disagree with God's methods? Jesus exposed sin and hypocrisy all the time and shunned the Pharisees or at least tried to. He went to those who knew they needed a Physician. The Pharisees were always coming to...

I saw the word "denoms" and just thought you misspelled demons because the word says doctrines are taught by demons not denominations. But, I momentarily forgot you don't often quote the word, after all, it really doesn't agree with your assumptions. And yes, denominations do teach doctrines of...

Doctrines are only taught by demons, eh? I don't know anyone that will agree with you there. Pro_4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. John_7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. We see from Isaiah 28:9 that the verse is...

Stan, We have been waiting for you to lay out the doctrine of NT tithing. The fact that you cannot do it has not gone unnoticed to the readers. You have not provided a biblical teaching of NT tithing and it is not surprising as the teaching does not exist. Your attitude towards believers...

Is that what the problem is? Motivation? I am sure many poor believers have come under condemnation when the Pastor they looked up to chastised them for not being motivated. Boy, that will motivate them every time to give from their heart and not out of compulsion. Moving on... We know what...

Stan, "Going out on a limb" = Eisegesis. Let's get back to what the Word says and if it ain't there, let's not make "assumptions".

How does the OT define "work" and how does the NT define "work" in the context of the Sabbath? Exo_20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy...

Yes, just call it what it is, today. A "payment system", which as we know is a "religious tax system". The NT does not mention any payment systems or tax systems. It mentions giving as one purposes in his heart. Making "assumptions" and "going out on limbs" are tool of exegesis that I am not...

Thanks for the color coding, Jim. I had no problem reading your reply to Stan. My post was rushed Stan. Thanks for the correction, yes it was Abraham tithing to Mel. If it was a law then we would have seen that presumed precedent practiced by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Have you noticed how laws...

To say that "Tithing is one of the oldest laws of the OT and is one that is carried forward in the NT" and then to say "Sadly, too many people are hung up on legalities" is a severe contradiction in terms. Especially, when you top if off with, "I encourage you to follow the leading of the Holy...

It was because of how they took advantage of the weak and ignorant in the name of God. Because they used their religious position to control and manipulate people. Vipers kill and Jesus also offered this: Matt_23:28 -33 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are...

Wouldn't masturbation also be "lust of the flesh"? Masturbation could also be spiritual adultery, fornication, rebellion, and other things depending upon what the mind and heart are engaging in while performing the fleshly act. Psa_81:12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they...

It all comes down to who is a "child of God", Is someone saved because they say so? Because they prayed a prayer and walked the aisle and got their "ticket punched" and name the name of Jesus? Well, we have this among many other things. 2Tim_2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God...
