If you read about HOW people were saved in the New Testament, ( read the book of acts) you will quickly see that “obedience” was always necessary and was evident in every case of salvation after Jesus was no longer here to save people in person. Jesus left a “will” (Hebrews 9:16-17) and in His...

You are going to great lengths to try to salvage your “faith only” doctrine; Re-defining repentance to suit your own needs. Or maybe tweaking it a little bit. It’s not as hard nor as complicated as you are making it. I once read that the Bible is written on a six grade level. While maybe...

God only shows His EXISTENCE and attributes to everyone through His creation. They cannot learn “the gospel”. Through just seeing HIS creation. ROMANS 10:17 says that the way people learn about the gospel —His will for mankind and about salvation and HOW TO BE SAVED, is by HEARING THE WORD OF...

The words Jewish Christianity and Jewish Christian’s do not appear in the Bible either. So if that means Gentiles we’re not Christian’s then neither were Jews. That doesn’t prove anything. Every source I have read about the church at Antioch says that it was a mixed congregation of Jews and...

1 Cor. 16:1-2 IS a command. The Holy Spirit says Concerning the COLLECTION.. as I have given “ORDERS”to the other CHURCHES ( in Galatia) “so you MUST DO also. What about this verse and this language do you see as “ not a command” or not instruction”? If God wanted to give a command or...

Wow! What is your source for this belief? This is so wrong. Acts 11 begins in the first verse saying the GENTILES had also received the word of God. Verse 20 says that some men came to ANTIOCH and preached to the GENTILES and a GREAT NUMBER (of GENTILES) believed and turned to the Lord...

I agree that “tithing” was never commanded of Christians.

There was a reason why God gave commandments TO THE JEWS UNDER THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW to tithe of all their substance. The Jewish law was not only a religious law, it was also a civil law. They were a “nation” of people governed by their own special laws. Deuteronomy 4:8 says, “For what great...

1 Corinthians 16:1-2.

Tithing is not taught in the New Testament gospel because we are no longer under that Old Testament law of the Jews. BUT, we ARE commanded to give into a “church collection” on the first day of the week AS WE HAVE BEEN PROSPERED. 1 Cor. 16:1-2. Paul says what he taught in the letter to the...

Just as America’s is no longer under “The Articles of Confederation”, which was its first set of laws, just so, Christian’s today are no longer under the old Jewish laws of the Old Testament. America is now governed by The Constitution of the United States. And Christian’s are now governed by...

You are partially correct. We are not under that old Jewish law that requires tithing—that is, unless you are a Jew Practicing the religion of Judaism. Christ brought a new law for everyone—Jew and Gentile alike when He died on the cross. And there is an abundant amount of scripture that...

This is a commandment given only to the Jews. This was never a commandment for Gentiles, unless they converted to Judaism. Galations 5:3 says if you keep one part of the (Jewish) law, like circumcision, you must keep it all. Judaism is still a religion today, but it denies Christ as the...

Yes, and also in 1 Corinthians 16:1-2. “Now concerning the collection for the saints, As I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so MUST you do. On the first day of the week let each one lay by in store as he has prospered so that there be no collections when I come.”

I believe the “falling away” has already come. It is a spiritual reference to “falling away” from the truth that God has established. That happened with the development and establishment of the Catholic Church. It was the first denomination that divided the church that Christ built ( Matt...

My point is that there is not just one antiChrist. There were antiChrist back then and there are antiChrists today and there will be antiChrists in the future.

Inheriting sin is a spiritual condition that will cause you to lose your soul. Inheriting a physical disease is just a consequence of living in a cursed world. It’s like inheriting heart disease from one of your parents. It will not cause you to lose your soul. You really can’t compare 2...

I don’t know if there is anyone who understands EVERYTHING in the book of Revelation. I know I certainly do not. I do believe the book uses many “symbols”. The main theme of the book is VICTORY, of Christ and his servants over Satan and his servants. Maybe this is why the Spirit says...
