This thread is only for those who believe in God, His creation, and intent of recreating the human in His image. Whose work is that, God's or man's?
If it is man's, then how can it be accomplished?
If it is God's, then is it not His work in humanity and indeed a Way which few can find, except by absolute trust in Him?
In recent years the "let go and let God" concept grows in the very core of my being. He has promised a gift which will accomplish that, and is experienced by those who have indeed been "born again". Surely His "yoke is easy" and his "burden is light," something not easy to understand in years lost in ignorance as one attempts to work His work, rather than let God accomplish what He will in each believing human. Oh, to be able more fully to believe He both can and will!

Oh, to be able more fully to believe He both can and will! Like you I believe I was fearfully and wonderfully made. I dont think of it lightly. It means something to me. I dont think I was an accident on a human level in fact I was the first love child of my parents. There is no doubt that the being/entity/force/spirit I call God is almighty and my trust is in his power. Power to do what his intentions were when he spoke the creative words. My mind cannot comprehend the denial of a power that created our beautiful planet sun moon stars universe and galaxys. Every snowflake is different. Frankly I dont want to have a mind that lacks that kind of appreciation for what has been provided for humans. To meet all our needs. As I get older I too am more about the trust factor. Letting go and allowing him to do things. Eg at one time I would pray for hrs. Now I declare pray the prayer of faith and stand. My life experience has been to not let go. He has come through for me far more frequently than not which makes me love him more. Im thankful and grateful for all that he accomplishes. I do not understand why some prayer is not answered. The joy and peace that I have living a peaceful life honoring him is more important than gold or silver. Man for all his accomplishments cannot give or create for me what the lord almighty has. |

Short answers: no, the Hebrew people do not tithe at the present, awaiting rebuilding of their temple and restoration of the Levites to care for it.
Regarding Jesus tithing, he would have done so, had he anything to tithe. He would have obeyed the law regarding tithing upon increase in substance.

Yes, Annan I I do. My response came from Hebrew Rabbis and what they have related/told me. If you wish to refute it, fine. I do not. However, I was responding to the biblical tithe, not merely a giving of "ten percent."
As to "Jesus", since the tithe in his day was not the giving of money, as such, rather of 10% of increase in goods and substance, as I stated if he had such, he would have given it to those of the tribe of Levi, for the purpose it was ordained. This is not to comment upon gifts to charity which was a separate issue in His Day.
'S okay, Annan, a valid question is a valid question.

Oh, to be able more fully to believe He both can and will! Just learned about a very independent, free thinker who just happens to be American, “Hebrew”, and a messiah believer, (and a pretty fairAuthor of several good books ). Andrew K. 1. Know the truth, it will set you free (from deceit.) 2. Lets make American “ideals” , great again! 3. Diversity ? , it’s great but it comes at a tremendous cost, and we need freedom to know the difference between right and wrong lawd hmmm: a lecture given recently at UCLA .

Lots of food on this earth.
Designed to nourish and encourage life,
evidently to encourage us us to ponder
our purpose for being so blessed,
and to be to be thankful for all things,
even those mean mean people that disagree
With our logical analysis of this complementary
conclusion of such thinkings. Hmmmm
thank you

Would anyone have any thoughts on Jewish Tithings? Do they still tythe , did Jesus tythe? No, they don't. Tithing in the OT referred to the tax rate in the theological kingdoms, and was intended as revenue for the "government", which was the ruling authority in the kingdom. |

The flood happened as Noah prophecied
Noah’s grandson Cush , for whom the city Kish was founded
The beginnings of the epic of Gilgamesh, as retold by the king of Babylon (Mesopotamia) , king Nimrod
Beginning of the Tower of Babel in Babylon.
Read about it: “who was Nimrod?” By Dr David Livingston

When one is to question miraculous events. ,
Where does one begin? If not with the miracle of the
Beginning , no matter how you slice it? , it likely could never
Happen in a vacuum😉
So then what caused everything to exist, (physicall)
That does exist physically??
That is just a primer , then how did the brain of a human ? Outgrow the
“animal nature?” Humans can freely choose to do
“Right or wrong” because of not being controlled by animal instincts, IMO
Then again we can choose what we want to put our love, faith, and trust in.
Another choice.
Another miracle of creation,
Nice to choose what is true, rather than trust in
Incomplete theories made up by Ignorant and misinformation.
It’s quite simple to modify the world that was created in place just a “few years “ hence , IMO
World wide floods don’t come but once, and it took its place in history
Thanks
