Mary's Parents? |

Hi, Carol...
Welcome to the forum!
The Scripture does not tell us who Mary's parents were. There are some non-Biblical sources that name Joachim and Anne... but I would take that with a large grain of salt.

Dear Pastor Tim,
That was what I was trying to say... despite myself. :-)
I do think, though, that the word "tithe" is a bit of a misnomer. The word has been lifted from OT, into the church as a convenient figure. Not really the same thing. In the OT it was a requirement, one might consider it a debt. I think the Greek word translated tithe in the NT reflects that, does it not?
Thank you for helping to articulate things for us.
In Him, Doc |

Pastor Tim,
Amen! Well said and I agree with your perspective. It's not about being "forced" to give. It's about being a cheerful giver out from our heart that matters! It is indeed an excellent practice to develop! Tit. 2:12-13.
Spekaing the Truth in Love,

Dear Pastor Josh,
Welcome to the forum!
You make a good point. Our fallen nature is such that we often look for limits on the wrong side of curve (to use a statistical metaphor). The lavishness of God's mercy and grace certainly call for extravagance (cf Luke 7:47).

First allow me to say that I am a very young Associate Pastor. I'm fully confident that there are men on these forums are much wiser than I. I really just had one thought that came to my mind.
Ultimately the question isn't how close to the line we can get, or what is the least that we can do. I would figure that if one would see giving as an act of worship, or if one had a desire for God, there wouldn't be a question "Does certain types of income qualify" for giving. If we have a giving heart, it won't matter the source of the income, it will just matter that we have something to give. |

Greetings Val!
In our congregation, I teach that tithing is not a required for Christians. However, I also add the following.
1) Giving is required of Christians.
2) Tithing is a good way to give consistently.
3) Many denominations list tithing as a expectation of it's member's.
So, while not required, it is certainly an excellent practice to develop. :-)
Your Brother in Christ,

Hi Doc,
I agree with your answer with the exception of the reference to horses that are mentioned in Revelation.
There is a book out called, “Heaven” by Randy Alcorn that has really been a blessing to me; I love animals and he points out verses that expound on the fact that animals will be with us where we will be spending eternity with the Lord.
Col. 1:16
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
The Lord saw fit to make all of the animals that we know of now, why would He do any different when he creates a new heaven and a new earth. It pleased Him the first time and all of creation is waiting for the new creation including the animals.
Romans 8:22-23
For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
The Lord might even bless us with our precious pets that have passed on and that not because of anything they have done but because of man’s sin. It’s a possibility that could come to fruition and they could be with us again.
I might end up with black cat hair all over my nice white rob but I’ll love it!

Dear jh67c,
Welcome to the forum!
This question has been much discussed over the years. You can search the archives to find just about any view.
Scripture does not speak to this question. Certainly, though, there will be animals in the new earth of Revelation 22.

Dear sls48,
How about praying the prayers of Scripture? Or praying the Psalms?
This might help:

Dear sls48,
Have you ever looked at every reference to pray/prayer/praying etc. in the Bible? You could start a notebook, writing your observations down from each passage. When you were done, you would have all that the Bible has to say on the subject.

Dear Val,
Yes, ma'am. As you wish. Don't feel intimidated -- we are all learning.
I still hope to hear what you might have to say about 1 John 3:4. I have heard it very poorly exegeted by legalists of one sort or another, but I have never heard it exegeted by an antinomian. I also do not recall how a POP study dealt with it.
Thank you, anyway.
In Him, Doc |

Dear Val,
I believe that if you add up the OT requirements you end up with something more than 25 percent. The NT speaks of tithing, hearkening back to the OT Law. The word tithe, as used by the church, often simply means giving to the church. I think the principle was lifted from the OT to have NT implications. No percentage is specifically mentioned in the NT that I know about. The redeemed as new creatures have a generous nature, and yet generosity has to be taught -- something we see repeatedly, as I said in another post here, in the NT.
In Him, Doc |

This topic has been debated here at length, so I will give you what I was taught and what I ahve seen.
My father taught me to tithe on the money I earned, allowance, mowing grass, whatever it might be. At that young age, I did not like it nor did I think it was fair. Why did God need my money, He has everything?
At that younger age, I was not a joyful giver. My dad ended up being laid off from his job, but he never stopped tithing and not only that, to him it was not a burden, but he was a joyful giver.
Talking with him over the years, he has since explained how tight things actually were in our house during that period. Yet, we never went hungry and every time the checkbook hit zero, money came in to meet our needs. He eventually was recalled to work and has since retired and living well.
Through his example of putting God first, I have learned that what I am blessed with, money, family, friends, etc., are all God's. I have turned from that joyless giver and now gladly give back to the Lord, not because He needs it, but because I want Him to have it and use my blessing to bless others.
Through my trust in the Lord, He has always met my needs and He has exceedingly blessed me beyond what I deserve.
Brad

The tithe us not repeated in the new testment. It was given to Israel under the mosiac covenant. We are certainly told to support the church but the ways and means is left to each individual believer. To demand 10 percent is in my view legalism to me. I am under grace and liberty in the New covenant. I do not wish to debate this topic any longer. Good Day |
