IslamRe: Reconciling The Quran With The Jews And Christians Scriptures by brocab:
Angry "unbelievable"
You do know Jesus Loves you, only if you turn from your sinful ways Jesus can save you.
Read the Bible, you may find the Qur'an is pretty much the same.

It will blow your mind?

When I started reading it years ago, I haven't stopped, Jesus is so real, I bet if you asked him to reveal himself to you, he will come at your request.

Being a Christian for the Lord has changed my life.
And he will change yours too.

I have many Muslim friends, and I don't judge them because they believe in another God.

But I pray for them.

There's a truth in all this, and we know their's so many different religions out there.
Which one is the truth?

I have studied many of them, and I have found Jesus Christ is the truth.

He has spoken to me in word and heart, he shows me dreams, lately its be of the end time coming.

I have studied a little on Allah, but all I have seen is Men and Women who claim they are Muslims who are willing to turn against their own.
Murdering by torch er, beheading and blowing ones self up, don't match up with the kind of God I'm looking for.
The Lord said: you know them by their fruit.
That don't give a peaceful Muslim believer a chance to claim his/hers innocents does it?

Casting demons over me won't make a difference to me, I won't denounce my beliefs.
I Love Jesus as my Lord.

Making some kind of a threat on this forum Allah will strike me down-my punishment should never cease.
Is it because I won't bow down to Allah, this sounds like another Isis.
Don't you know Government monitor these forum's.

Jesus Christ is Lord, the King of Kings and the Lord or Lords.

aanikky, like you, one day we all will have to front up to death someday.

God is the judge, he will decide, who go's either way.
But open up you heart a bit, think before you say anything, But ask Jesus to show himself.
aanikky:
Guy you must be mad, wait you were spreading the tale of your moon-god , what happened to that? I really will never understand how brains of idiots like you work. Let's do it this way, you know some other people have read this your 'tale of the moon-god' and now you want to change what we are talking about, Olohun o nii gba fun e.
I'll appreciate it if you can swear about the credibility of all your tales, something like if you lie such and such should befall you and if you are truthfull such and such should befall on me.
So I start first by saying my own: " If all what Brocab claims about the moon-god being worshipped by muslims and his new tale are both true, then God should punish me aanikky but if what Brocab says about muslims worshipping the moon-god and his latest tales are false then the punishment of the God I worship should manifest on him before the end of this month and if he doesn't denounce his claims by every means possible, the punishment should never cease, In the name of Allah"
Christianity EtcRe: The truth your pastor would not tell you about tithes by brocab: 1:27pm On Jan 16, 2015
It don't matter how many times you tell them, they won't listen.
Trying to bring a tither to Christ, is like trying to bring the Pope.

Tithers are to set in their own beliefs.

The truth is written, and these so called want a be Christians rather not read the truth, but seek only after the Mammon these pastors preach.
Bring all your tithes into the storehouse so my house will be full of riches.

This shows clearly these so called believers rather listen to this false doctrine, because Christ wasn't rich enough."
How can anyone survive, on just seeking the Lord and his Kingdom?

Tithers who are in these prosperity Churches, are only there because they are just as Guilty as everyone else who sits beside them.

Keep up the good work get that word out.
imagrg:
I have a special message for every Christian . Don"t be deceived by your pastor. Satan has taken over most churches today and many are lead astray by supposed men of God who initially had His Calling. The love of money and fame now puts them and those who believe in their tithing doctrine on the threshold of destruction. Payers of tithe and sowers of financial seeds in the House of God are robbers and helping to propagate false doctrine on salvation which can not be bought with money! Give your one tenth to the poor, widows and the less privileged in the society and God will richly bless you! worship God in Spirit and in truth not with money. Don't entice the pastor with money. And pastor lay your treasure in heaven and not on worldly things. And remember, your calling is greater than gold and silver! Jesus said you can not worship God and mammon at the same time. Leave one for the other! Chose God today and you shall be His true Servant! God bless you.

You say your a Muslim and yet you don't know any history about any of your own beliefs. Great?
I'm I writing to someone who has no clue about your Allah god. Wow.
You believe for what purpose, is it because members of your family believe.
You write on here because you think many would believe in you-Allah a God who you twisted the true meaning against God himself.
You have adopted Allah, Gods name, using it to savagely murder the innocents.
Is this what kind of Muslim you are?
What a joke.

IslamRe: Reconciling The Quran With The Jews And Christians Scriptures by brocab: 8:21pm On Jan 14, 2015
The bible had to be written because the people who believed in the Qu'ran would refuse Jesus, God's only begotten son, the savour of the world.

Muslims and Jews read the same Qu'ran about Allah God, they believe in Abraham, they believe Jesus is the spirit of God.

But yet Muslims-Jews have been in battle for centuries, Is it Because God blessed Israel? You are true brothers in word. Why?
IslamRe: Reconciling The Quran With The Jews And Christians Scriptures by brocab:
Then you need to worship your God, Jesus is his name, Allah won't save you, Allah can't.

"Question" We hear of many Muslims such as Isis murdering Christians, and others who refuse to believe in Allah, you have been fighting against the Jews, over the promise land God had blessed for centuries, You say you follow the same god, yet it seems you are contradicting yourselves when Muslim people are slaughtering innocent believers, because one calls his God by a different name.

You say Jesus is just one of your prophets, {you mean to say one of your slaughtered prophets} not only a prophet, but the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
Jesus sits down at the right hand of "God" the Father in heaven.

You believe in the Qur'an, then you would believe Jesus is called the Spirit of God.
Qur'an 3:45-O Mary! Behold God gives you good News of a Word from Him, who shall become known as the Messiah, Jesus, Son of Mary.
Qur'an 4:171- The Messiah Jesus Son of Mary. was only are Messenger of God, and His Word which conveyed unto Mary.

The bible teaches that God's spirit is God himself, God is spirit, surely you would agree with this, how ever if you are the spirit of God, then you are God. Since that is nature.

Don't you realize the bible had to be written by the spirit of God, teaches he's own disciples so people from all nations would believe in word and truth in the Old and New Testaments.
God knew if his people stayed with the Qur'an they would denie his only begotten Son.
And the evidence had proving it's self over time.

His own people didn't recognize the spirit of God, a messiah had come, even the prophets before Jesus, were slaughtered because they foretold of Jesus's coming.

Talk about rejection, and do you know everyone who follows Jesus is hated by the world, because they first hated him.
Today shows the evident's Jesus is hated by all nations, look at you.

And yet Jesus paid a price, died, forgiving you and I, to save the world.

Today we hear of many believers are slaughtered every day by your people, Muslims like Jews believe in that same written book the Qur'an, and you still slaughter each other, God had blessed the land of Jerusalem.

And Abraham had two sons, first one was from Hagar the slave woman, the other from Sarah again a son was born who God had blessed, and Sarah was called the free woman, and the Mother of all nations.

The Qur'an was written before Jesus's time, by the prophets it was foretold {written} the messiah is coming, Qur'an 3:45, and still, even to this day, you still don't believe, Qur'an 3:39- God Gives you good news of { a son whose name is} John, Who comes to confirm a word from God. John the Baptise spoke of him of his coming. it was John who baptised Jesus and said: behold the savour of the world has come.
Sending two of his disciples to follow after Jesus.

And yet It was Jesus who stepped out of the Qur'an comfort zone, Jesus the spirit of God done many Miracles, walked on water, healed the sick, the blind now see, the dead had raised, people now walk, he had preached salvation, he taught in there synagogues, Jesus had showing the world the written messiah had come, and still they murdered him by crucifixion, Jesus the spirit of God was beating to the point that no-one could recognise him carried his cross to his death site nailed to a tree.

Jesus then said: forgive them Father.

Name another who could do the works Jesus had done.

The prophets foretold his coming, to his death, and none like you had recognised him. no-one knew of him, and he stood before you all.
And you still, don't believe.
The prophets foretold In three day's Jesus has rising.

So one can believe.

Cant "Allah" recognize his own son, while sitting beside him?

Qur'an It is not for God to take a son unto him, so it would be impossible for any son as a savour to sit on the right side of Allah.

Allah sits alone?

1 John 1:6-If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we are liars and do not practice the truth.
What has your god done for you, and others who believe?

aanikky:
You said " Allah the Moon-God.
You readers must know that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all worship different Gods. "


of course we worship different Gods, I worship God, you worship Jesus isn't that different .


You said ” The religion of Islam has its focus of worship a deity by the name Allah!"

Allah means God. Arabic is a language and in the language Allah stands for God. An example is the Yoruba traditional religion they believed in a supreme being and called Him by the names Olohun/Olorun/Olodumare. When other religions came God in Yoruba is still called Olohun. A language doesn't change because of the belief of people change. Allah means God.
In Islam we worship the one true God, the absolute.
Here's a Surah from the Qur'an, it tells you who Allah is, Surah Ikhlas, 112
*******
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ

Say: He is God, the One and Only;

اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ

Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

And there is none like unto Him.
*********
This chapter tells you about Allah whThe we worship.
The Muslims claim that Allah is pre-Islamic times was the biblical God of the patriarchs, prophets, and apostle.
The issue is thus one of continuity.
Was "Allah" the biblical God or pagan god in Arabia during pre-Islamic times?

I think I've made it clear the Allah is a word that means God just like Olohun means God in Yoruba.

The Muslims claim of continuity is essential to their attempt to convert Jews and Christians' for if Allah is part of the flow of divine revelation in scripture, then it is the next step to biblical religion, that we should all become Muslims.
But on the other hand, if Allah was a pre-Islamic pagan deity, then its core claim is refuted.

It's very important for one to know that the fact that god is written the same as God doesn't say the gods worshiped by polytheists are the same with one single God worshiped by monotheists. Nor does it mean the God in trinity is the same as The One, absolute God worshiped in Islam.
We muslims believe Allah created Adam and Adam was a prophet and there were prophets after him and we believe that there are 124000 prophets and 25 of them were mentioned in the Qur'an. Some of these prophetsnwere sent to their people and in Islam they are known as messangers.

According to the Hadith of the Messenger of Allaah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that the number of the Prophets if 124,000 and the number of the Messengers is 315. The Qur’an mentions twenty-five Prophets and Messengers as follows:
1. Adam
2. Idris (Enoch)
3. Nuh (Noah)
4. Hud (Eber)
5. Salih
6. Lut (Lot)
7. Ibrahim (Abraham)
8. Ismail (Ishmael)
9. Ishaq (Isaac)
10. Yaqub (Jacob)
11. Yusuf (Joseph)
12. Shu’aib (Jethro)
13. Ayyub (Job)
14. Dhulkifl (Ezekiel)
15. Musa (Moses)
16. Harun (Aaron)
17. Dawud (David)
18. Sulayman (Solomon)
19. Ilias (Elias)
20. Alyasa (Elisha)
21. Yunus (Jonah)
22. Zakariya (Zachariah)
23. Yahya (John the Baptist)
24. Isa (Jesus)
25. Muhammad
We are obligated to believe in all the Prophets and Messengers of who are mentioned in the Qur’an and those who are not mentioned in the Qur’an. We have to honor all of them, to respect all of them and whenever we mention a name of a Prophet or a Messenger we always say (may thed blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him). We have to believe that they are sinless and they are infallible and that they conveyed the message of Islam to mankind and they had fulfilled their task.
So you see we believe in all the prophets and we know all the prophets, peace upon them, are monotheistic in faith and they all worshiped Allah

In their attempt to convert, have you ever seen any human being who said he converted just because Islam links itself with Jesus and Moses, people convert to Islam because they searched for the Ligt of God and they found it in Islam. They looked for God's words and they found it in the Qur'an and their hearts are at peace knowing they've found their Sustainer, who created the Heavens and the Earths and all that is in between, who created the sun and the moon, the stars and the planets.

Religion claims often full, before the results of hard sciences such as Archaeology.
We endlessly speculate about the past or go and dig it up and see what the evidence reveals.
This is the only way to find out the truth concerning the origins of Allah as we shall see, the hard evidence demonstrates the god Allah was a pagan deity.
In fact, he was a moon-god who was married to the sun goddess and the stars were his daughters.

Orisirisi, wonders shall never cease, Archeologists dug what, In Islam we dont worship Idols and we do not represent our Lord in any forms. The pagan Arabs worshiped Idols before the advent of Islam and during it's propagation, when Islam was established all the Idols were destroyed. We don't worship Idols in Islam. It's very funny cos Allah has no wife neither children.
We worship Allah the Creator of the moon and the sun. The moon and sun are just creations of Allah and they are subservient to Allah Azaa wa Jala.
Quran 22:18
********
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ وَالنُّجُومُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَابُّ وَكَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَذَابُ ۗ وَمَنْ يُهِنِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ مُكْرِمٍ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ ۩

Seest thou not that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth,- the sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals; and a great number among mankind? But a great number are (also) such as are fit for Punishment: and such as Allah shall disgrace,- None can raise to honour: for Allah carries out all that He wills.
*******
You see what the verse says right?

Archaeologists have un-coved temples to the moon-god throughout the middle east, from the mountains of turkey to the banks of the Nile.
The most wide-spread religion of the ancient world was to worship of the moon-god in the first literate civilization, the Sumerian's have left us thousands of clay tablets in which they described their religious beliefs.
As demonstrated by Sjoberg and hall, the ancient Sumerian's worshippers a moon-god" who was called many different names.
The most popular names were Nanna, Sven and asimbabbar.
His symbol was the crescent moon. Given the amount of the Artefacts concerning the worship of the moon-god. It is clear that this was the dominant religion in Sumeria.
The cult of the moon-god was the most popular religion throughouT ancient Mesopotamia.
The Agrarians Babylonians and the Akkadians took the word sven and transformed it into the word "Sin" as their favourite name for the moon-god.
"Sin" is the name essentially Sumerian! in sign which had been borrowed by the Semites! In ancient Syria and Canna the moon-god "Sin" was usually represented by the moon in its crescent phase.
At times the full mood was placed inside the crescent moon to emphasize all the phases of the moon.

The Sun Goddess was the wife of Sin and the stars were their daughters of Sin.
Sacrifices to the moon-god are described in the Pas-Sharma texts, in the Ugaritic texts, the moon-god was sometimes called Kusuh, in Persia as well as in Egypt, the moon-god is depicted on wall murals and on the heads of statues, He was the judge of all men and Gods.
The Old Testament constantly rebuked the worship of the moon-god {Deuteronomy 4:19,17:3 2 Kings 21:3-5, 23:5, Jeremiah 8:2,19:13,Zephaniah 1:5 etc..}

I hope this helps you to believe Jesus Christ is Lord.

You won't stop amazing me, Who says I follow what was done in Turkey , Mesopotamia, Babylon and all those, whether they worshipped the moon god or not is not any of my concerns. The prophet I follow come from Saudi-Arabia. Maybe the Arabs had a moon-god as you said but the essence of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was to call them to the straight path of monotheism, the belief in the one true God. i think this your piece wouldn't make sense to a 10 year old kid as to that the Muslims worship the moon-god. I worship Allah, the Lord the moon worshiped, the one who controlled the sun, the Lord of Adam, the Lord of Abraham, the Lord of Solomon, Moses,Enoch,Jonah,Jesus, Muhamamad, peace be upon them all, The Lord if all the prophets the Lord all these prophets bowed down to worship. The Lord they cried unto when they needed Him. This is who I worship. This is my Allah.



P.S.
I worship the God Jesus knelt for, the God Jesus cried unto. I worahip Allah. I worship the Creator not His creations who depend on Him. Thanks dear.

2 Kings 21:3-5, For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a wooden image, as Ahab King of Israel had done; and he worshipped all the host of heaven and served them. He built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said: "In Jerusalem I will put my name." 23:5, Then he removed the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense on the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem, and those who burned incense to Baal, to the Sun and to the Moon.

IslamRe: Reconciling The Quran With The Jews And Christians Scriptures by brocab:
Do you even believe Jesus is your messiah, the days Jesus was walking with you, none of you recognized him.

Some were cut in half, you ripped of their arms and legs, some stoned to death, others buried alive.
You murdered Jesus the messiah the King of the Jews, you ripped his body apart so badly he wasn't even recognizable, you then made him carry his own cross to his own slaughter to be crucified on the tree.

The Jew's had murdered Jesus who is the promise.
And all Jesus could say, forgive them Father. He died to save all man kind their sins.
But don't worry Jesus the messiah, the King of the Jews is coming back to redeem Israel and the world Amen.

Christianity EtcDo You Know Jesus. "Question" Does Jesus Know You? by brocab(op):
Do you know Jesus, all should we say: does Jesus know you.
1 John 2:4 He who say's "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in him.
He who says: he is in the light, and hates his Brother-sister-enemy, friend, family, is in darkness until now.

Only one sin, can lead you to Hell.

Matthew 5:44 But I say to you love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you. " that you maybe sons of your Father in Heaven.

Do you fear God?

Matthew 7:22 "Many will say to me in that day "Lord Lord", have we not prophesied in your name, cast out Demons in you name and done many wonders in your name? "And I will declare to them,"I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.

Have you tested yourselves, do you test the spirits, are you following God's commandments, have you no fear in God, do you know" you are already planning your own destiny's.
Are you Christians out of your minds?

Its sad to say: less than 1 to 50 years from now, many "Christians' will end up in Hell, do you know' Demons hate Christians, they will pull your spirit body apart tarring it to pieces, your spirit won't die, you will feel every bit of pain, every tare, Satan and his demons will rip you inside out, your screams will cover a multitude for more pain, over and over, tormenting you day and night for eternity.
They say: It's worst for Christians.

Do you know Satan's a liar and his plan to keep you on the highways before death comes, do you believe once saved always saved.
Do you think you will have enough time to repent on your last breath?

Have you not heard of different testimonies, people have seen different parts of hell, bringing back their stories, so we receive a full insight about the truth in Hell, do you believe God Judges us, is the worldly lust more greater then our Creator.
Do you read your bibles? Do you know, those who refuse to listen are heading for Hell night and day, do you think everyone will make Heaven. Your loves ones.
Have you no fear in God, he has the power, to send you either way.

Is that your price to pay.
Do you really believe you are saved?
Do you believe there is one God, even the Demons believe, you believe Jesus is Lord, even the Demons believe.
Do you dress to show your face to the Lord, or do you dress to show of your body to the world.

Are you part of a religious group that's leading you to Hell, are you part of a cult?
Are you tithing under old law, do you follow the curse, do you worship mammon, more than God?

Again do you follow the Lord's commandments?

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him who declare to you, that God is Light and in him is no darkness at all.

How many of you understand what Jesus had said?

V's 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
Do you know what this scripture is telling you.
If we say that we have been saved and walk in darkness, we are liars and do not practice the truth.

1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world, If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye's and the pride of life-is not of the Father but of the world.

Christianity EtcRe: Powerful Quote Of The Day By Pastor Adeboye by brocab:
Tithing hmm, do we follow the Pharisees, or do we follow the Lord.

But in Matthew 23:23 Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites! For you pay tithe of Mint {"which either in our English language can mean Money, But in the Old Hebrew language its a herb used"} like and anise and cumin were herbs.
Its strange the Lord didn't say in this scripture you pay tithes in shekels and silver, when there were plenty going around.

But he didn't he was talking about Herbs, the Pharisees would follow after Abraham, it was Abraham who followed after God.
And the tithing law was about foods, so the mint was a herb.

Matthew 23 all of that page, Jesus again had ago at them, because they were neglecting the matters of the law: Justice and mercy and faith.
These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

So the Pharisees weren't following God's law, but their own.

Did Jesus tithe?

Matthew 17:24 While Jesus and his disciples were in Capernaum, the temple tax collectors came to peter and said: "Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?"
He said: "Yes" after coming into the house, Jesus asked him, "What do you think, "Simon?
From whom do the Kings of the earth take customs {tithes} or taxes, from their own sons or from strangers?
Peter said: to him, "From strangers." Jesus said: to him, 'Then the sons are free.

Do you understand that? We are sons and we are free.

Jesus then said: Nevertheless lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the fish that comes up first.
And when you have opened its mouth you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for you and Me.

Jesus gave them the temple custom tithe because he didn't want to argue over it, giving them what the tax collectors had asked for.

Jesus says: he loves a cheerful giver, giving freely.

Not a tithe demand that can cause arguments and destitute of corrupt minds.

Jesus only paid his custom tithe or taxes because he was verbally force too.

Maybe you like many others who don't study bible scriptures listen to the Greedy, {Today's Pharisees} twisting scriptures around to suit their needs, not obeying God's word, but your own.

Matthew 23:23 only points out he was having ago at the Pharisees, because they didn't believe in the truth.

uchkochi:
YOU DON'T PRAY TO BE RICH, YOU GIVE TO BE BLESSED AND THAT BLESSING WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE YOU RICH BY MAKING WHAT YOU DO OR WHAT YOU ARE INVOLVED IN TO PROSPER.

You don’t claim prosperity by praying because it is not a promise, it is a covenant. Genesis 8:21-22 and Jeremiah 33:20-21. It is covenant practice that brings about prosperity. It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich and adds no sorrow to it. Proverbs 10:22.

But why is it that people still lack even when they are givers? These are what to take into consideration when giving.

1.When you give, do not see yourself as giving to a man or a pastor or a church or ministry, see yourself as giving to the LORD.

2.You are not giving away your money or material or time but you are investing it in the kingdom of God. And it has great rewards even here on earth. Genesis 8:22,Deuteronomy 28:1-14.

3.You must know that God is not in need; rather it is you that is in need. The silver and Gold belongs to God.Haggi 1:8

4.You are not helping God’s work when you give; rather you are obeying God because you need God’s helps.

5.You must not be forced, or cajoled to give. Giving must be done willingly. Isaiah 1;19. 2nd Corinthians 8:12.

6.You must give cheerfully not grumbling. God loves a cheerful giver.

7.Your giving must be motivated by love and faith.

8.You must not be tasked to give to God. Give according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.

9.Do not make a vow you know you may not pay. Making a vow and not redeeming it is a sin.

10.After you have given to the LORD, Praise God for the grace to give regularly. Psalms 67:5-7

11.God gives seeds to the sower and bread to the eater, so desire to sow seeds and God will put it in your hands.

12.Tithes are fixed, Ten percent of your increase. Offerings are not fixed, rather they are as God blesses and increases

Christianity EtcRe: Jews Do Not Tithe Today by brocab:
You need to read it again it was King Sodom who met Abram, not Melchizdek King salem.
It was Abram who lifted up his hand to the Lord God and said: I will take nothing from the spoils of war, so that the kings-priest could say they have made Abram rich.

Abram was already rich, he already had the promise, and blessed before the war "by God", Melchizdek blessed him, after receiving a tenth from the spoils of war.

Some say: Melchizdek and Jesus were the same persons, both from another tribe, both priest forever, but Jesus lives on.
Levi priesthood received tithes from the richer Jews those who had farms, shock, crops, herds, all merchant's back in those day's, tithing wasn't for everyone, Jesus didn't tithe, he was a carpenter, he didn't sin either, his disciples didn't tithe, even thu they were sinners.

Tax collectors received taxes: Jesus quoted give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and give to God what belongs to God.

And he told Peter to take a coin out of the fishes mouth to pay the tax, only because Jesus didn't want to argue over it.

Those who received the temple tax came to Peter and said: "Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?" He said: yes." Jesus anticipated him saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs {which were tithes}or taxes, from their own sons or from strangers?" Peter said: to him "From strangers" Jesus said: to him, THEN THE SONS ARE FREE.

So we are sons to the lord, the Lord said clearly we don't pay temple customs or taxes.

Christianity EtcRe: Powerful Quote Of The Day By Pastor Adeboye by brocab:
Do you understand the mysteries on tithing?
Firstly tithing was said in scripture only to help feed the Levi priesthood and the poor in need.

No-where in the bible does it say: tithing is money.

One says: if you know how to speak a good yarn {lie} many will believe it, the money scam came from a group of religious con's who knew how to speak a good yarn twisting scriptures around so the believers will believe.
Tithing was never meant for greed, {Money} men and women taking advantage of the innocent-twisting and turning Bible verses to retrieve a large wager each week, while the hard working labour earns and sweats their hard weeks wage.

Paul said: its best that we all work: so we don't become a burden to no man.

Our job is to connect with God build the land, while God fills it with rain, milk and honey.

Its clearly understandable to see different doctrines being preached on this forum.

One doctrine say's: Aaron would sacrifice for the remissions of sins, as part of the law on tithing and offerings.
In other words we have those who continue to bring all their tithes into the storehouse under the O/Testament law by works only to receive God's blessings.
Not everyone could enter the chambers to meet the Holy spirit with Aaron in the temple made with hands.

The other doctrine says: For on the other hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness.
For the law made nothing prefect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to god.
Jesus had made away by sacrificing himself so we are closer to God through the Holy spirit who lives in us all; we are the temple, Jesus has become a surety of the better covenant.

You love either one, or love the other.
You either follow Jesus as saved, or unsaved.

Works with out faith is dead.

You should read back on your scrip's read through clearly, you said: Jesus is not all from Judah.
Chylo:
I don't get your point. Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek and Heb 7 says Jesus is a priest not after Levi, but after Melchizedek and even stated that Levi himself paid tithes to Melchizedek (in Abraham's loins), thus the Melchizedek priesthood is greater than the Levi one. How does Jesus' tribe Judah come into this?
Christianity EtcRe: Jews Do Not Tithe Today by brocab:
I did, now your turn to read Hebrews it's in English.
Hebrews 7: 12-14 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.

V's 14 For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

Accepted, we aren't angry at you, you need to understand, twisting bible verses won't sit with any of us.
Plus your teachings is from another tribe, one that may believe "Abraham" is their true foundation.
Many use Abram as a starting point to preach on tithes.

With Jesus we hear a lot of guessing, because they don't know him. He said clearly his from another tribe, not the tribe of tithing.
Jesus's tribe, is the true foundation, so we don't need to talk about tithing, or a percentage, Jesus didn't preach it.

Their are so many different religions out there, and no-one really seems to recognizes Him, they recognize Abraham.

Are you really a Christian, because as I read your scriptures, your biblical writings are more on the JW's beliefs.

They will twist and turn bible text around trying to support people to turn the other way, using Abraham as there foundation.

Read Hebrews 7 Jesus is from another tribe Judah that Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

And every time the tithing messages are preached, It's Abraham who fits the bill-Not Jesus.
Chylo:
Ok we have gotten somewhere, at least now you concede that my previous interpretation was right about a comparison of priesthoods (and not all that Jesus was from Judah and cannot take tithe crap).

Now, you say there is no example of tithes being preached in the new testament, let's say you are right. Would you accept that selling all properties and giving all at the apostles' feet was preached and practiced? If you agree, then why do you not practice that? The answer will show you that love of money is the root of all these arguments. Anybody that doesn't want to pay it should keep his money, there is no compulsion. Even in the apostles' time, it was voluntary (Ananias was killed because he lied that it was all the money he brought when he kept some. If that happened today, would you call it fair?).

Let me now be clear: I will concede that tithing in itself is an old testament concept, but the new testament does teach the following:
- being generous with God's blessings to you to the local church or assembly
- give to the poor
- when you give, not IF, give what you feel in your heart, not under compulsion
- God will be generous to you in the same measure as you are generous to others
- you should contribute to those who teach you spiritually (my opinion of what Gal 6:6 says)

I believe the legalistic nature of tithing was necessary because of the hardness of man's heart and God knowing that leaving people on their own, they wont give. People are naturally selfish. This was only a shadow though. The light is that we are to give liberally. If God set 10% in his old covenant as the rule, why should we in the new do any worse, or any less? In my opinion, that is as good a benchmark as any to get started.

Now, Paul's collection for the Jerusalem church occupies significant portions of his letters (1 Cor 16:1–4; 2 Cor 8:1–9:15; Rom 15:14–32) and it is even so important to Paul that he is willing to face hostility for it (Romans 15:30-31).

To every man his own. Cheers.
Christianity EtcRe: Jews Do Not Tithe Today by brocab: 8:04pm On Jan 06, 2015
You are going to use a 10% tithing us a starting giving point, {Start your engines} In the O/Testament they did give more around: 23%, so why don't you start at that rate, and make all your pastors happy.

There is no more law. We are not under the law. There is no more law to tithe. But the law was a shadow, and tithing was a principle to show God that all was His.

You can now give more than 10 percent out of love. But for you to say, you wont give God anymore because the law is gone, then you must be very stingy and do not understand the kingdom of God.

Secondly I don't calculate my giving, can you calculated your giving all in one day? It would take me a life time working it out.
I don't give to receive brownie points from the Lord.

Is that what you do? Good and faithful servant.

I believe you are a tither, you say you don't tithe but you keep on going back to the 10 percentage tithing law.

Sorry:Jesus Christ has set me free my heart and mind is on the truth.

So are you a preacher looking for more cash' and that little more I don't give, shall I give all my monies to you?
Chylo:
What I am saying is I have often emptied bank account for the cause of the kingdom, not paltry 10 percent anymore.

Let me ask you, what percent of your income do you give to God, or to needy people generally? If you say you cannot calculate the proportion you give out, you are either lying, or a bad manager of resources, cos you should know where your money is going to. How much do you really give away? Remember the story of the widow that Jesus said gave more because it was all she had. It is wrong if you think God does not care about the proportion of your income you give to Him. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. If you are honest, and you do give above 10 percent, then there should be no problem for you. If you do give less though, then it is too little and you should try to do more. Not by law now, but by love.
Christianity EtcRe: Jews Do Not Tithe Today by brocab:
What are you saying: are you on the same planet, is this about your questions on tithing?

What makes you think I'm deceiving myself, when I give' I don't tic myself off with any percentage points.

I don't need to add my figures up at the end of the week to prove myself to God, for him to say: well done good and faithful servant.

As most of us know O/Testament tithes were used as temple taxes.
Given under the same purposes as they are today, the Tithing was used to support the people in the land.

Since: In most countries the law was giving to the people of the land to pay a tithe {10%} taxes to Governments each week.
A booklet written under "The Act's" a rule made under God's law, and still stands.
The taxes are used to support the people in the land.
Some may have other idea's, but "The Act's" was the plan to survive

The Lord has warned us all in word, many will come in his name:

Satan has use False preachers-pastors-who lead some small, most mega Churches; claiming under a charity system turning God's people against one-another, twisting bible text so one can pay more taxes plus offerings, around the 23% yearly income from O/Testament tithing, on a weekly wage.
Don't you think the Lord knows: Many of you don't realize, at the end of the day, your not giving, your paying O/Testament 23% tithing.

These Organizations are run by Governments, Churches run under a charity system, so Governments will have full control running schools, entertainment, businesses, selling books, Dvd's, Cd's, coffee-tea, restaurants, involved on Church grounds, without paying any tax.
The sadness is this story is: 10% tithes-taxes to the Church and again 10% taxes to your Government, and your offerings around 3% is 23% on a weekly wage.
In some countries at the end of a financial year, most people retrieve a percentage of their taxes they had paid back to them, the Governments then find other way's to retrieve it back to the taxation department on daily bases.

"The Act's" God's law: Under land Taxation every man/woman should work-pay land taxes , so the needy people of the land can survive.
"The Act's" never said: Under Church taxation.

The Lord knows and blesses me with my needs, Seek and you will find, Ask and it will be given.

God already see's my faith with my works, without some religious nuttier who thinks paying a percentage pays my way into heaven?

Question: We both agree with the O/Testament tithing law was dismantled, who do you give your 10/100 percent too?
Chylo:
Stop deceiving yourself, if you cannot give up to 10 percent of what you get to God, you are stingy. We are talking of people laying down their lives here and some giving even up to 100 percent and you are there struggling with 10 percent. God will deliver you from mammon.

Christianity EtcRe: Jews Do Not Tithe Today by brocab: 12:36am On Jan 06, 2015
Abram paid a tithe before the law came, but your not understanding me, If my Great Great forefather-ancestor gave a tenth from the spoils of war something that didn't belong to him, out of the orderly does that mean I should follow suit.

Before Jesus had sacrificed himself, tithing sacrificing and offerings was still in place.

The first covenant made with our forefathers, Aaron would meet in the chambers with the Holy Spirit in the temple made with hands!
Shedding the first fruits blood, himself first, and then for the people for the remission of sins.

And after Jesus had sacrificed himself, changing that old covenant fulfilling it given us a better covenant, we no longer need to follow that old law on tithing, sacrificing and offerings.
Because the Holy spirit now lives in Man/female temples made by God.

What your not understanding is, the Non tithers Give from their hearts some more or less than others. Listen to the words: God loves a cheerful giver.

He didn't say: God loves a cheerful tither,

Tithing was under law.
Free giving has no law.

How can you say: its a law to tithe, I must tithe a tenth, to whom?

And then expect me to be a cheerful giver freely.

God said: bring all your food into the storehouse.
Man said: bring all your money into the storehouse.

Now explain to me who changed that law? Was it God? Or was it Man?
Chylo:
OK, lemme ask you, was tithing introduced in the law of Moses? Did Abraham not pay tithes before the law came? It is a PRINCIPLE. When Jesus died on the cross, he does not abrogate the law, but rather, he fulfills it. The difference is that now, we are not commanded to give any percentage out of compulsion, but out of love.

How can we say we love God and cannot give to him. The same thing applies to offerings. Look throughout the bible and see if there was any man God loved that didnt give to him, no matter how small, tis the heart that counts. In fact our mindset should be that the entire 100% belongs to God, and can be used by Him whenever and however He wants. If He wakes us up one day and says give all, that is what we must do. This question arises among Christians now for 2 reasons: one, they are stingy and do not want to be compelled to give and two, they may think the money is being wasted. The second can be corrected by the leader (transparency), the first cannot.
Christianity EtcRe: Jews Do Not Tithe Today by brocab: 11:15am On Jan 05, 2015
Yes it tells that story Abram paid a once tithe, from the spoils of war.
And it tells that story why Jacob offered God tithes, after a dream.

And some where down the track God had made it into a Covenant law, tithing, sacrificing and offerings, laying down the rules for Jewish farmers, and herdsmen, etc, to pay a yearly tithe to the Levi priesthood bring your tithes {food} into my storehouse, for the works they did, and the lands they didn't own.

It was never a covenant law to tithe before God had made it one.

After finding fault and because of its weakness the law was changed through Jesus given us a better covenant.

If your ancestors was about to jump of a bridge would you follow.

Do you sacrifice for your daily sins?

Explain to us viewers, who changed the tithing rules, was it God, all lets say: was it man.
Chylo:
I have noticed something in all the responses here. People are just commenting on what they think or feel, but noone is talking about what the scriptures say. People get confused, even true believers, due to the way it has been so perverted, but God's principles remain the same. I will not argue either way, but I will simply present the scriptures (all from the new testament too) for you to make up your own minds.

1. Matt. 23:23 and Luke 11:42 - Jesus condemns the scribes and Pharisees for tithing even the smallest things, without doing the more important things like mercy, fair judgement and faith. However, He then concludes by asking them to do these more vital things, without leaving the tithing undone. I think this answers the OP's question. No, tithing alone will not get you to heaven!

2. Luke 18:12-14 - Jesus tells the story of two people praying, one a Pharisee, one a sinner. The Pharisee prays proudly saying he fasts twice a week and pays tithes, while the sinner prays humbly for mercy. Jesus concludes that the sinner is more justified than the other because,"everyone that exaltheth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted". Notice that Jesus does not condemn d scribe for tithing, but rather for being proud about it. If tithing were wrong from here, then so also would fasting twice a week. The lesson is, if you tithe, well and good, do not be proud of it. Also, if you are a sinner and do not tithe, God can still accept you; but this is not the ideal situation.

3. Hebrews 7:4-9 - Here, Paul suggests that tithing is a spiritual principle. Of particular importance is verse 8, where Paul says, "And here men that die receive tithes; but there He receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth". In other words, as human beings receive tithes here on earth, Jesus in heaven receives them there. When you pay tithes, you are not giving to any man, but to Jesus himself. You should imagine you are standing before God when presenting it. This is also an answer to those people saying you can pay tithes by giving alms, this is not what the scripture teaches.

What I can only say to pastors is that, please and please do not force people to pay tithes, it does not guarantee heaven, neither does it make one holy; however, simply present the Word of God to the people and leave them with the choice of whether to obey or not to obey.

Thank you very much.

Tithing is written in the bible, but its not meant for you or anybody else to use it out of text.
Do you really obey the law on tithing?

If I brought my first fruit, my male herds, crops of wheat, into your storehouse, are you prepared to mix it, baked it and give it to the pastor? And are you ready to stand on the streets to feed the poor, the widows, the fatherless, etc..

Is this not the way God had commanded his people to tithe retrieving food from the farmers, the herdsmen, bring all your tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house say's the Lord " If I will not open for you such blessing, That there will not be room enough to receive it.
Could you show us in the bible, Who had changed the tithing rules? Was it God, or lets say: was it Man.

Could you explain, when you said: some of us know what happens when we don't pay? And then you said:, no one is forced.
akinwa1:
It's so funny when some christian claims a law is from the old or new testament. May I ask: which testament is not suppose to be obeyed?

Tithe, offerring like first fruits are optional, noone is compelled to pay.
You don't need to be a mathematician to prove that 100% is greater & better than 90%. But when you pay your tithe, there is a way God makes it better than keeping your tithe & makes the remaining 90% better than the 100%, it cannot be prooved mathematically but anyone faithfully paying tithes can attest to this.

1st fruit offerring is a divine commandment from God Himself
Exodus 13: 12 that you shall set apart to the Lord all that open the womb, that is, every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have; the males shall be the Lord’s. 13 But every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem. 14 So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’ 16 It shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.”;
Proverbs 3:9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.

It is a remembrance of God's mighty arm to save His children from bondages.

It is in 3 categories:
1- 1st fruit of increase Proverbs 3:9-10. In this case it is ur 1st ever salary (once & for all) & u pay d difference when there is an increment (eg u pay only 2000 when your salary increases from 25000 to 27000)

2. 1st fruit of sacrifice Gen 22:15-18. This may be your 1st income of d year if your faith can carry it, it is paid annually

3. Redemption of d male child that breaks d matrix of both man & animal (that is only if ur 1st born is male)
Exodus 13:13 But every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.

The male child is redeemed by a donation you pick personally

The benefits:
1. Proverbs 3:9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
Overflow- God promised that your presses will burst with new wines & your barns will be filled with plenty

2. Gen 25:15-18 - God promised that through your seed, the whole families of the earth shall be blessed

Note: Tithes brings expansion while 1st fruits brings explosion

Christians are not fools, if you pay your tithe or 1st fruit & you don't see any benefit, will you continue to pay? it will be stupid of you to continue. Those paying know what they benefit and that is the only reason they keep on paying. Some of us know what happens when we don't pay.
Again, no one is forced
