Christianity EtcRe: Corona Lockdown: Where To Pay Your Tithe! by Ebony7(op): 1:04pm On Apr 03, 2020
Clarifications:

1. I am not against tithe paying, let's sort dt out first!
2. I'm not against men of God, I'm only stating facts: church is not only d building where Christians worship, but also d Christian himself.
3. I'm not against paying of tithes in/to d church, and u can see dt from my post.

I will ask us just 2 very basic questions:
(1) if u are on ur way to church to pay ur tithe (and dt is d only money on u) and u come across an accident victim in dire need of money for treatment else he dies, what will u do? Tell him "it is well" and move on like d parable of d good Samaritan?
(2) If u have ppl in ur street knocking on ur door for assistance in feeding (esp during ds cv19 period) and d only money on u is ur tithe, what would u do? Tell them "it is well" and bolt the door?

Jesus was confronted with a similar scenario when he healed d man with d withered hand on d sabbath day which was unlawful based on d mosaic law. Jesus too could've turned a blind eye as u are implying in ur 'thesis'.

Matthew 12:10-12
"And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days


May God give us d wisdom to do d NEEDFUL when we have to.

U tried, but I would've loved you to answer the 2 simple questions I asked. 'Answering' a question with a question is flawed.
I'll be expecting u to respond to those 2 questions I asked then we'll be able to continue wt this dialogue. Tnx

Again: to clear d air:
I blv in tithe paying and would never dissuade any one from doing so in his her church.
Nevertheless, we're in ds cv19 pandemonic quagmire for a period only God knows when it will end. America even said it may last up to 6 months (God forbid).
In whatever decisions we take, let's bear in mind that d human soul is d most precious thing on earth and to God himself DT even Jesus chose to be crucified!

In 'serving' dt same God in churches built with bricks must we watch his church (his creation) purchased with d blood of his precious son (Jesus Christ) famish/die?

Christianity EtcCorona Lockdown: Where To Pay Your Tithe!!! by Ebony7(op):
Now that cv-19 lockdown/social distancing has made congregating virtually impossible, where does a tithe-paying believing christian pay his tithe?
I won't waste much time, hence the bullet points.

1. Where should u pay ur tithe?
**Malachi 3:10
"Bring ye all d tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house,.....

2. Where is God's house?
Apart from his house made with bricks and cement, d scriptures shows there's ANOTHER house of God, albeit made of flesh and blood:

**John 2:21
[i]But he spake of the temple of his body.

**1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Now that we know there are indeed two different types of God's temple, why do we so focus or why have we been 'programmed' by many MOGs to consider the 'house of stone' as the ONLY temple of God while neglecting d more valuable one- d house made of flesh and blood ie d poor?

3. Can giving tithe to the poor be tenable b4 God?
#millionDollarQuestion!
Let's see what d scriptures say:

**Proverbs 19:17
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Paraphrased: "If you give to your fellow man (esp d poor), u have given to God"

Conclusion: Without dissuading anyone from paying their tithes to churches (via pastors), we shd also not forget that ur fellow man is also a 'church/temple' of God, therefore ALSO qualifies to receive that tithe!
Lets look around us and be a source of blessing esp now dt the poor/jobless now find themselves in worse conditions because of d lockdown.

Brick and stone cannot inherit d kingdom of God o, it is dt ur fellow man whom Jesus died for that will! Ehn-ehn! angry

The figurative part pertains ONLY to illustration/example (of bosom) PRECEDING the "red", hence the "hence"!
It doesn't apply to all! My friend, the location was LITERAL!

Anywayz, itz bn a lovely "conversation".

What to take home?
1. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Matt 16v15-16
2. No other way to God. He's the ONLY WAY Jn 14v6
3. To enter the Kingdom of God, thou MUST be born again! Jn 3v3
4. Only Jesus Christ was recorded as having preexistence in the Bible Jn 1v15. No other person with such record in the Bible (neither Abraham nor Abel nor Moses etc)
5. There is a LITERAL HEAVEN AND HELL! Guys,It's not a FIGURATIVE location! Matt25v1-46.

There are no record(s) of any other individual with this characteristic.

"Is it possible? " in this context is" does God Almighty have the [u]Power/capability

I didn't say what u quoted! I only reaffirmed that Jesus Christ was/is the only recorded being with record of preexistence. As for Abraham, there's no Biblical record of him spiritually existing before Abel. What I'm saying is, God can do whatever pleases Him!

You said : Abraham bossom mean Abraham's arm , or side .

B ) to make it fix in with the direct and logical question : how can Abel go to the bossom of a man born many years later ?

You replied twistin some verses only to confess later that both agree that jesus is older spiritully . therefore void ur usage of dat verse

Moreover, I still maintain that Abraham's bosom is a location BENEATH THE EARTH! (2 Sam 28v15).
You only considered d "breast/chest" definition of bosom, viz a viz the "location/vicinity/comfort zone" definition [Lk 16v19~26]. I outlined 4 different definitions in an earlier post and u disproved none of them-esp the 3rd.

Pheww! Now I get it! Seems u misconstrued "physical preexistence" for "spiritual preexistence"!
The "preexistence" the scripture was referring to was spiritual, not in the physical sense. Every T, D and H knows dt John was physically older.

Kindly go through the post one more time; you did misquote me!

In the physical, John was at least 6 months older than Jesus Christ - Lk 1v41; but both parties agreed that the latter was in existence before the former spiritually ie in d spiritual realm - John 1v15, John 8v58.
That's settled!

@ red _ Thats where the problem lies , how can Abel die and go to the side of a man called Abraham [size=20] who is not yet born? [/size]
According to the Bible - Almighty God's Word, Jesus Christ (though physically younger) preexist John the Baptist - John 1v30; he also preceeded Abraham - John 8v56-58.
Do you agree with this "Biblical assertions"?
If yes, why should you find it absurd that Abraham (could) preexist Abel (or perhaps any other progenitor)?

E.g john 13:23 - an apostle rest on the BossoM of Jesus . Not some crazy place beneath the soil but His chest position . Thats the meaning of bossom. Simple english

The bossom of the man , Abraham refers to the chestlike position of the man called Abraham .[/b]
MizJanet:
What is Abraham BOSSOM ? - clue: Gen 16:5
Good!
Unfortunately, u've given ONLY ONE DEFINITION of bosom, there are FOUR!

bos·om (bo͝oz′əm, bo͞o′zəm)
n.
1.
a. The chest of a human: He held the
sleepy child to his bosom.
b. A woman's breast or breasts.
2. The part of a garment covering the
chest or breasts.
3. The security and closeness likened
to being held in a warm familial
embrace: We welcomed the stranger
into the bosom of our family.

4. The chest considered as the source
of emotion.
adj.
Beloved; intimate: a bosom friend.

The word "bosom" as used in Luke 16:19-31 is used in the context of the (bolded) 3rd definition above.
"Abraham's Bosom" in this context is a translation d Greek word "kolpos which conveys: "Abrahams side", "Abraham's arms", "next to Abraham", "Abraham's vicinity, "with Abraham".

NOW, it's Settled!

Christianity EtcRe: How To Make It To Heaven!!! by Ebony7(op):
MizJanet:

You forget that those men aint born agains, yet they see the kingdom of God , which clearly contradict Jesus word that "unless any man is born again " .

I like the way you people contradict yourselves .

then you just prove Jesus is not the way , Daniel nd moses made heaven without Jesus dying for their sins ? Yes Or No grin grin

Of a truth, NO ONE can see (talk less of entering) the kingdom of God except they are born again. Jn 3 v 3.
Before the death & resurrection of JC, NONE of d old testament Prophets saw/entered d kingdom of God. Once they died, they went straight down to Abrahams Bosom which was also beneath the earth but separated from hell by a large, uncrossable gulf.
They were there patiently waiting for the coming of Christ-The Messiah Lk 7 v 19-20.
They received salvation (during d 3 days) when Jesus Christ was crucified, died, descended, preached to them and ascended taking them on high with him. Matthew 27:50-53.
That was when they had d opportunity to SEE and ENTER the Kingdom of God!

So, Moses, Daniel etc made heaven WITH Jesus Christ!

All in all, Jesus Christ died for EVERYBODY'S sin(s) - mine, urs, David's, Noah's, the 'white', the 'black' etc. Just accept Him as ur Lord and Saviour! Except being born again, It's a classic 'One Chance to hell' scenario!
