so tithing isn't compulsory, failure to tithe doesn't lead to hell right?

felixomor:

For those in Christ, everyday has become Sabbath Every minute is Sabbath....
They are to adorn themselves as the temple of God

Goshen360:
Everything about the law and the old testament is fulfilled in Christ. Christians are done away with the law of the old testament INCLUDING THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. The Spirit in you is now what guides and lead you through the complete word of God.

Proudgorgeousga:


CC Doctor Alien what do you think?

johnydon22:


Now here comes the twist.. Doctor Alien, felix Omor the party is right here.

So Goshen, no laws from the old testament is binding to anyone in this era?

DoctorAlien:


Tithing is compulsory. As I said, it can be seen as a direct consequence of Commandment no.1 which says "I Am the Lord thy GOD, which have brought thee out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

No other gods. Not even money. Now, "to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."(James 4:17). GOD claims the tithe as His. GOD specifically commanded tithing. For what purpose? To sustain His work on earth(the priesthood and temple services, in the case of ancient Israel). Is GOD's work still on earth? Yes(Matt. 28:18-20). Since we know that tithing was a command to support the work of GOD, which is a good thing. Now, if we refuse to support GOD's work with our tithes and offerings, knowing that it is a good thing to do, we disobey Him and disobedience to GOD is sin(James 4:17).

Now here comes the twist.. DoctorAlien, feliximor the party is right here.

DoctorAlien:


LOL. I won't fall into that pit you dug for me.

DoctorAlien:


LOL. You know I won't fall for this.

DoctorAlien:


LOL. I won't fall into that pit you dug for me.

johnydon22:


One may try to key into your reasons but surely will also be healthy to point out that this commandment does not say "I am the lord thy God, give me 10% of your income"

Goshen360:
Everything about the law and the old testament is fulfilled in Christ. Christians are done away with the law of the old testament INCLUDING THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. The Spirit in you is now what guides and lead you through the complete word of God.

johnydon22:


It is not about falling for this, that particular post affirms the argument i raise: Does the law apply or not?

If the Law does then all of them holds[which ever type they may be, all can be summarised as the law]

if the law has been done away with then they all must have been done away with, thats the point.

Goshen raised an argument different from yours, he nullified the totality of the old testament law, so this is not a trap for you but another example of Christian doctrinal and theological contradiction

DoctorAlien:


Just like you may never see any line in the Bible that says "thou shalt not smoke" or "thou shalt not cheat in the exam hall". You will also not see "thou shalt not lust after a lady" in the 10 commandments. How do we know these things are bad? We allow the law of GOD speak to us in depth. Expounding on the 7th commandments, for example, reveals to us that fornication begins in the heart. Expounding on the 6th and 8th commandments reveal to us that smoking and exam malpractice.

DoctorAlien:


If your purpose of opening this thread is simply to show us that different denominations within Christianity believe different things, I must point out that this is quite a very useless thread.

dalaman:


As I aforementioned, everything is subject to personal interpretation and opinion.

Wilgrea7:
during my days as a liberal .. i went with the saying that the law was fulfilled in a new testament law

Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

but then.. Christians will still want to run to the old testament to support things like tithes and first fruits.. its like trying to eat your cake and have it.. the law was for the jews.. if someone accepts part of the old testament law... he/she should accept all.. and i mean ALL

Martinez19:
where is your scriptural backup? Romans 3:31

johnydon22:


Read that post again as many as times as it takes for you to get it.

Does the law totally apply or not?

Simple premise

Proudgorgeousga:


so ten commandments is not applicable for all times.?

according to doctoralien ten commandment is the moral law.

r

felixomor:


Pls which part of my comment says ten commandments doesnt apply for all times?

Or you just want to rush out what is in your own mind?

Proudgorgeousga:


I'm sure you saw the the question mark at the end of the sentence.

the answer you gave contradicts the commandment.

same cherrypicking.

keeping the day God rested holy is no longer important for modern Christians for you
while it is for some other Christians okay.

johnydon22:


You cannot be so sure

felixomor:

At Bolded
Pls where did I say its "no longer important"?
Simple question

Proudgorgeousga:


that's what you implied by your answer na which you didn't back with the scriptures.

anyway you guys never agree on anything

felixomor:


Pls Stop saying false stuff. Thats not what i implied
Just say that is what you wanted to bring out of my comment so that u can use it to argue with others.

And that's why u cant pinpoint it in my comment.
