What are you saying here? They did not have currency, as in government minted coins. They had precious metals of value to use. They had weighted pieces of silver! Abraham listened to Ephron, and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver that he had named in the hearing of the Hittites...

Mute as well do that! :giggle:

Moot point.

It's like saying "colonial America" in contrast to the current United States of America. One knowing history should know the differences. Ancient Israel is a phase that Israel manifested during the days from Moses to John the Baptist.

Funny… Ironically, I perfectly understood what he meant, but not yours. Most of the most commonly confused words in English are old pairs: affect and effect, or discrete and discreet. But a new pair has developed in the last dozen or so years: segway and segue. You see it in informal writing...

Thanks...

Re-established. But, as a secular nation, not a theocracy. Not as it was, as when it was from Moses to the time of John the Baptist. For then, it was a theocracy.

Let's try Deuteronomy 14 again.... 22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for...

It is beyond Jesus simply rose from the dead. That aspect after his burial verified the Resurrection from the dead. But, he had to ascend back to heaven first to become glorified by the Father in order to be made experientially manifesting all power and authority as God. He would no longer...

In the time of the Torah, the concept of "money" was not solely based on minted coins with fixed values, but also on the inherent value of commodities and precious metals . Here's a breakdown of what constituted money in the Torah: Commodities: Early forms of trade relied on barter...

Get the right timeline. When He said those words Jesus was about to send them out. It does not say they went out right after he told them. Pentecost had not yet taken place? After that, is when they went out...

Just to clarify for those who really do not know. What you said was not the case for when tithing was instituted. For, Israel was a theocracy. Now, corrupted clergy use it the way as you stated, in distortion and abuse.

From Moses to John the Baptist. Under the Law.

Good point!
