    Why the Old Law/Covenant Does not apply to NT Christians..

    Note I did not say the Old law was invalid, so shelf the Mat 5 "I did not come to abolish the law" argument, and read the WHOLE OP if you want to discuss the points I will be making. The Old (OC) and New covenants (NC) are contracts, that state do ABC and you will receive XYZ. Under the OC If...

    looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

    Actually there is no need to examine the time line because we have a topical directive that addresses the believers role with the sabbath. Col 2: 16Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival,a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day...

    Are we tithing correctly?

    Your words in this thread are off topic/a Red Herring Fallacy. Maybe you could try reading What I have said before you respond. Here it is again: So if I read what I wrote, I would have a better understanding of tithing? Is english a second language for you? If so I can explain in a more...

    Are we tithing correctly?

    Technically no, He wasn't. Mat 6 was the sermon on the mount and this teaching was open to everyone. The sermon on the mount went against traditional Jewish interpretation of the law. This sermon represents the foundational principles of which the church is built. So while you are correct that...

    Are we tithing correctly?

    This is my thread and the point is mine to make. The tithe was never meant for the church. It was for the tithe giver to go on vacation once a year. where He was even allowed to sell his tithe, if he had too much to carry with him, and he was allowed to buy beer, wine and 'other fermented...

    Is praying in public against a direct command from Jesus? Does this also include church and public meals?

    No. doing a thing Does not make it good or bad. It is why you do what you did that makes an act good or bad.. For example most would say killing another person is always a terrible thing. But there are examples where killing was considered an act of divine Justice in the bible which is a good...

    Are we tithing correctly?

    Technically Jesus in the sermon on the Mount Requires 3 things from all followers. Secrecy When we Fast, When we Pray, and When we Give. These three things are required from all believers: mat 6: 6 “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise...

    Are we tithing correctly?

    The Op is not about the amount given. It's about what the tithe was meant for. Buying beer wine or 'other fermented drink among food and lodging so they could travel to the temple once a year. On top of that only one year out of three was the tithe ever meant to go to the church/synagog.

    Is praying in public against a direct command from Jesus? Does this also include church and public meals?

    We discussed why motives are irrelevant, do you remember? here it is again: as previously stated: Mat 6 provides no exception or path for those who have good intentions in their prayer outside of being directed to pray in secrete. Let me put it this way by asking a question.. To whom is Jesus...

    Is praying in public against a direct command from Jesus? Does this also include church and public meals?

    Yes. I gave those definitions so that we could have a common understanding of the word the word private. Or when I say public /Corporate. So if you have a different understanding of this word, now would be the time you explain why your understanding is different. If you want to pretend the...

    Are we tithing correctly?

    I'm not speaking about giving. I am addressing the churches that specifically require a tithe 10%. then try and scripturally justify the offering. as being allocated for the running of the temple/church and benevolence for widows and orphans. Where as scripturally the tithe 2 out of three years...

    Is praying in public against a direct command from Jesus? Does this also include church and public meals?

    Book Chapter and verse please where Jesus prays openly 'for the children" Because mat 19 only records that He place his hands on them and departed. I do not know what this is in reference two I went three pages back and could not find anything.

    Is praying in public against a direct command from Jesus? Does this also include church and public meals?

    That is because the translation I am using is written in modern english. When ever a text is translated into another language then the translated language is where we start. Because unless you are challenging the translation/saying it is wrong, then the purpose of the translation is to use...
