My heart is very much converted... You can find my testimony here: My testimony (justbyfaith).

No you haven't; if you had it would have worked for you. If it doesn't produce material blessings, it is sure to bring a spiritual one (Ephesians 1:3). In that mammon no longer will have a hold on you; even if you retain certain material blessings.

See Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:4, Romans 8:7, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, Romans 5:5. (The law is written on the heart and in the mind of the New Covenant believer). Then jump over to Isaiah 8:20. Isa 8:20, To the law and to the testimony: if they...

Hi @Renniks, I would say that there are two ways of looking at "sinless perfection." The term, in itself, tends to be used by the opponents of the doctrine of entire sanctification in order to create a straw man that is toppled by 1 John 1:8. Entire sanctification teaches that we do not have...

2 Timothy 3:16 tells us that all scripture is inspired of the Lord and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. So Matthew, Hebrews, and James, should all be a part of our diet in reading God's word on a daily basis; while we should...

See 2 Timothy 3:16. I can relate to your threads for the most part; and I spend most of my time in the epistles. But I think you are wrong to say that reading Matthew, Hebrews, and James, is going to produce heresy. They are books of the Bible too. Balance in understanding the scriptures is...

God declares you righteous even though and when you are ungodly (Romans 4:5). Now go and live like your new identity (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6).

Mar 9:14, And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. Mar 9:15, And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. Mar 9:16, And he asked the scribes, What question ye with...

In Luke 11:42, it is clear that we are not to leave our tithing undone. This is in the New Testament. Then, there are the promises in the OT prophets (not the law), such as in Malachi 3, where the person who brings the whole tithe into the storehouse is promised a blessing that he will not...

The temple that He spake of was His body, John 2:21. It indicates that He rose bodily from the dead.

Nope. The same temple.

Except that there is no chance being taken on your returns.

That is a misquote of John 2:19...

It says in Luke 11:42 that we ought not to leave our tithing undone. If it is a universal principle that we ought not to pass over justice and the love of God, sound hermeneutics would suggest that it is also a universal principle that we ought not to leave our tithing undone. I do believe...

Is it ok to Give = $$$$$$$

1Pe 5:1, The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 1Pe 5:2, Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for...

There is (see Luke 11:42).

Concerning tithing and Malachi 3... I believe that 2 Peter 1:3-4, Hebrews 11:33, 2 Corinthians 1:20, and Romans 4:20-22 speak of the fact that there are promises in the OT that we can take a hold of by faith. So as a general guideline, I count tithing a tenth as being a condition for a promise...

So do I... And I had forgotten that I do not respect your opinion at all for that you come off as not being a real Christian; and that I do my best to ignore you for the most part because of that.

Consider 2 Peter 1:3-4, Hebrews 11:33, 2 Corinthians 1:20, and Romans 4:20-22. There are promises in the Old Testament that apply to New Testament saints. Among them is what is found in Malachi 3. Of course, 2 Corinthians 8 and 2 Corinthians 9 is given as the teaching for New Testament...
