Rom 9:13, As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Rom 9:14, What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. Rom 9:15, For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. Rom...

The word of the Lord will never return void, Isaiah 55:10-11. The Bible is always edifying to those who will receive its message.

1Th 4:13, But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 1Th 4:14, For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 1Th 4:15, For this we...

@historyb, Would you kindly post your interpretation of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Thank you.

Because what he is saying is perfectly credible...for it is the word of God!

The law is written on the hearts and in the minds of those who are under the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7). For this is the love of the Lord: that we obey His commandments (Romans 13:8-10, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6). I will say this: that there is a specific promise...

This scripture is definitely a guideline. I will say that there is a promise associated with giving specifically 1/10 of your income; a promise of a blessing (again, Malachi 3). Of course, returns are promised on any amount that you might give (see Luke 6:38); but know that if you sow...

"eternal life" and "everlasting life" are slightly different. The word "eternal" refers to a state of being; while "everlasting" refers to a duration of time. This is why, in the kjv, the Lord makes the distinction in John 3:14-16: Jhn 3:14, And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the...

The law is in fact written in the hearts and in the minds of New Covenant believers (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7). While we do not keep the law unto salvation, we are saved unto the keeping of the law. If we fail to do so, there is no condemnation. However, those who are truly...

That is a very weak argument, to say that the saints are not the church. The church consists of the saints. I believe that you are therefore grasping at straws. Then Malachi was a false teacher for telling God's people the very same thing (for it was not the law that he was bringing them...

I'm tired tonight; but thought I would throw this in: entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

I beg to differ. See 1 Corinthians 16, 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, Romans 15:26-27.

It is implied in Malachi 3:10, if you interpret the windows of heaven being spoken of there as being the latter rain of the Holy Spirit.

And actually, if you look at it even more closely, they were supposed to give their tithe only one out of every three years. (Don't ask me where that is found; I only know that I read it in there at one time).

I suggest that you give 100% of your next paycheck to the church then.

The rule was that we are not supposed to test God; and Malachi 3 clearly has an exception to this rule.

The word tithing is in Luke 11:42, and Luke 11:42 is in the New Testament. Question: as New Testament Christians, should we pass over judgment and the love of God? If your answer is yes, then I question your sanity. If your answer is no, then I would ask, why then is the other thing (tithing)...

You are assuming the Old Testament is no longer valid. Isa 8:20, To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Now I am not even saying that tithing is a law that must be kept. But I will say that Jesus Christ is the same...

Concerning Hebrews 8:13... It is in context of Hebrews 8:8-10, in which it is written that the law is written on the hearts and in the minds of all those who are under the New Covenant. See also Hebrews 10:16. So then, it is the ceremonial law that is growing old and is ready to vanish...

If the whole tithe isn't brought into the storehouse therefore, the latter day outpouring of the Holy Spirit may never occur...
