    God had given us a commandment the Tithes & Offerings. How people today followed the commandment?

    No. Calvinist's go in a very different direction. God's message to man does say elect, predestinated, called, chosen, foreknown, and the rest- over 70 times in Paul's letters. Would you call God a Calvinist? Nowhere does God in Christ through Paul say anything about missions for all and everyone...

    God had given us a commandment the Tithes & Offerings. How people today followed the commandment?

    Again, this is a single event without other scripture support to suggest it is a permanent fixture in the Age of Grace. This is Paul coming to the aid of the Jews in poverty, not a for all and ever command. If such a command applied to all people of all time, you would see other corroboration in...

    No. You have been repeatedly told these things in religion and mostly in Evangelicalism. The concept that everyone must evangelize the world does not appear anywhere in the Bible. It is a creation of some Christian sects. You will not find anything of the sort in God's message to man through the...

    If you will read my post... The word Christian appears only three times in the entire Bible, not the word Gentiles. Gentile Christianity and Gentile Christians do not appear in the Bible. As mentioned, after Acts 9 the story turns to Paul and the Gentiles and away from the Jews and Peter's...

    It doesn't say that either. Find a verse that says such a thing. Church, tabernacles, cathedrals, altars were all done away with in God's Gift of His indwelling Spirit and our relationship with Him as His children. There is no place to go because God is with us and in us always as we are each...

    God had given us a commandment the Tithes & Offerings. How people today followed the commandment?

    God in this New Age of Grace took everything out of the way including giving money. In this age we are not governed by anything except God's one and only bullet point He gives to us today through Paul: Salvation By God's Grace Through Our Faith. It is such a simple message that has been so...

    God had given us a commandment the Tithes & Offerings. How people today followed the commandment?

    You are correct! In the 30 plus year ministries of Peter, Paul, James, John, Jude and the rest, no one ever called themselves, their followers, or their church "Christian." The word Christian appears in the entire Bible only three times. In all cases, it applied to the Jews who believed Jesus...

    Everything mentioned above was local and localized to the Jews of Peter's Jewish only church who fell into poverty. Nothing applies for all time and eternity to the Body of Christ or Gentile Christianity that decides it does. This does not exist in the scripture. You are reading things into...

    God had given us a commandment the Tithes & Offerings. How people today followed the commandment?

    As mentioned earlier in this blog, the Jews of Peter's only Jewish church gave all for the common good and awaited for Christ's return, ....which did not happen. These Jews in the early chapters of Acts soon ran out of resources and fell into poverty. Paul took a collection for these Jewish...

    God had given us a commandment the Tithes & Offerings. How people today followed the commandment?

    Peter was always in the old era and never in the new era nor did he ever have the indwelling Spirit of God. He never spoke of the indwelling Spirit, God's Grace, salvation of the Gentiles, or God's adoption of the Gentiles. Had Peter the indwelling Spirit, what he wrote would have sounded like...

    God had given us a commandment the Tithes & Offerings. How people today followed the commandment?

    ______________________________ ... And when did that happen? and who were those people? and when did God give the gift of His Spirit. The Apostle Paul and the Body of Christ did not exist until Acts 9. Until then, it was the Jews in the old era under the law, Acts 1-9. Nothing in these earlier...

    Are you talking to me or a different poster?? ________________________________________________ ...or disciple, evangelize, church, water baptize, or worship. All were done away when God sent the world in an entirely new direction with His gift of the indwelling Spirit. We no longer have a law...

    No, you. Find a verse in God's new gospel to man in the new Age of Grace that commands or instructs the Gentile Body of Christ to give money to God.

    God had given us a commandment the Tithes & Offerings. How people today followed the commandment?

    Actually the New Testament Church sold everything and then gave it away. Following Abraham's lead also mentioned in the New Testament Book of Hebrews of 10% seems rather a great deal compared to giving everything away. ________________________________________________ Peter's Jewish church of...

    Wolfwint, I don't understand your post. I mentioned that Deuteronomy is about Jews, not Gentiles. It is what happened, not what is happening today in this Age of Grace. You will also read about animal sacrifice, temples, worship, and circumcision throughout the Old Testament and the four Jewish...

    What does Acts 15 have to do with the topic? The DEUTORONOMY 14:22-23 verse has nothing to do with the Gentiles. It is Jewish history of the old era and does not carry over to the new era.

    The old is the old and God did away with the law and the Jews in the new era with His gift of His indwelling Spirit. The old is not a reflection of the new. That is not a biblical concept. It is something someone made up to justify following old era traditions that do not belong in the New Age...

    God in Christ in His new gospel to man through Paul in the new era never asks for your money. There is no mention of any such thing to the Gentile world. Giving today because "God said we must give" is simply not part of the New Age of Grace. Those who give money because they believe God...
