The tithe was instituted in the law to the Jew. This law was never given to the gentile. In fact, Paul never uses the word tithe in scripture & he was the apostle to the gentiles. The tithe was ended upon the resurrection of Jesus Christ. However, it is right to give to the support of the...

I will confess that I do not possess the elevated vocabulary or command of language that you appear to have. But I do have access to a dictionary. You say that you did not want to ruffle any feathers, but it seems you went out of your way to phrase & word your reply so as to belittle me by...

Who was speaking in these verses ? Was it not Jesus ? Who was he speaking to ? Was it not the Jews ? Something so many people fail to realize that although the OT covenant was fulfilled by Jesus Christ, & the new covenant was established with who ? The Jew. Jesus never told these things to the...

I agree that vanity is a big problem today, even for some Christians & teachers. I agree that we are not to be prideful or boasting & that we should treat others as we would want to be treated by others, thus, we should love everyone, even our enemies. (Which I admit, is very hard to do at...

My, o My, oh my. I am still learning each day & until you posted this, I never knew there was a rainbow in the throne room. I went & looked it up & in Revelation 4:3, there IS a rainbow in the throne room of heaven. Thank you for that info. Learn something new every day. :-)

Says who ? Unless you're a Jew, there has never been any such law given to the gentiles. The Jews were given laws to live by because they were God's chosen people, his race of priests. The gentiles have never been given any law. They live & walk by faith alone.

I've read these verses are 1 Corinthians 11 & I do not find the word commandment anywhere. I have also researched any commandment Jesus may have given to suggest that a woman should cover her head when she prays. I can find none. But this I do know; Paul was a Roman citizen & it was the custom...

I believe you have been blessed with this revelation. I concur with your interpretation.

I recently lost my mother last Sept. She was 72. We were nearly connected at the hip we were so close. We could even finish each others sentences we were so finely tuned to one another. She loved the Lord so I have no doubt where she is now according to 2 Corinthians 5:8. I know she is with the...

I believe that Christians deserve a healthy & even wealthy lifestyle so long as it is not excessive or wasteful. Everyone needs a car these days. Can you be well off with a less expensive, more economical, safer build car or do you have to have the multi thousand dollar piece of fiberglass that...

I wholeheartedly agree that certain jobs require a certain measure of education & experience. But as a witness to the Lord, the only experience we need is salvation ! Once you become saved, you have the most wonderful story to tell others !! The holy spirit will guide you. But, you should be...

I smoked since high school. Even though I worked in the medical field, I continued to smoke. Then I quit for about 5 years. Then one day sitting with a friend on the bank fishing, I started up again. A few years later I quit again but for only about a year & a half. Then, two & a half years ago...

You're right. I'm pretty settled with my decision not to be branded with "faith based" tattoo(s). I just show my Christian spirit through my actions & by the way I speak. :-) I actually like some of the tribal tattoo designs if they are simple & not over done. But I don't think I would ever...

Oh dear . . I did not mean to condemn anyone ! I thought I made it clear that this was just my personal preference. I offer my most humble apologies if I have offended anyone.

I really like this response. However, I usually tell people that God requires us to have faith. The more faith we have in God, the greater our blessings & rewards. IF God proved Himself to everyone, then there would be no more faith. Only evidence would remain. God has no need of people who have...

The old testament is the law given to God's chosen people, the Jews. When Jesus came into the world, he fulfilled & completed the law. The law was all about atonement. Jesus shed his blood for the remission of sins, he washed us clean from sin. So the law was completed. Jesus never said anything...

God never gives us more than we can handle. But I'm certain he thinks my shoulders are bigger than I think they are. Yours too. I will keep you & your family in my prayers for comfort of heart & strengthening of faith. God bless you. BTW, Thank you for your service in the USMC. I am truly...

God told Adam & Eve to multiply & replenish the earth, Gen 1:28. No indication was given as to the numbering. In Deuteronomy 1:10, Moses said to the Israelites, The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. Does this mean the task...
