Discuss Deuteronomy 14 Page 2

@Bruce I agree on you can tithe more but not the less part. Numbers 18:26 says a tenth part which is 10%.

Verse 1: Jehovah God expected the Israelites to have respect for themselves and the bodies that he gave them.

"...the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied..." Here is a concept! What if the Disciples in the beginning were actually RIGHT ON with making sure everyone was equally provided for? Instead of the "superior" Church leadership and their entourage only?

Kalu: We are free from the Old Testament law by The Blood of The Lamb. We just bring our Tithes into His House to support The Ministry.Most Tithe 10% If one Tithe more or less that's OK, just according to his heart. Just don't grumble about what you give. 2Corinthians 9:7

CHIBUTUTU KALU; Remember how the Lord Jesus watched the people giving in the Temple? He saw many rich giving much; but the poor widow who gave about 1/4 cent, gave more than all, because it was all her livelihood. To whom we give is also important: and I personally think that kindness and support of those who can't help themselves is much better than giving to a "well off" Pastor and his family.

To C. Kalu - you need to read Malachi 3:10-12. If we will be faithful in our tithing AND freewill offering, God WILL bless us; I give 10 per cent every week and He's never failed to bless me. It's not always in money, it's also answered prayer for healing or for salvation of others, or a car or repairs to something or whatever HE sees the need for.

To C. Kalu - To tithe all the increase of the 'field' is simply saying we tithe (10 per cent) of the gross amt. we earn, not the 'net' - the net is AFTER the taxes are taken out; we pay tithe on the gross BEFORE taxes are taken out.

please, does it mean that the way we tithe is not the right way?

The gist of this chapter summed up in the last 6 verses. We can enjoy our tithe most anyway we want, and every 3rd year we are to give that tithe to the teachers to distribute to the poor and needy within our community.

GRACE BAND re:JOB
God trusted Job and knew he would remain faithful no matter the amount of suffering....Sometimes godly people are allowed to suffer that they may see themselves.. He wants the trial of our faith to work patience, reveal character...Job gave a wonderful testimony to the world...

It is important to be a tithe to support God house

This is the Law correct ?... Deut.14:1 See John 10:34 Jesus said Law not Psalms 82:6 gods ... should read " God 's Sons " Most Tranlators are wrong Read all 3 verses in contect using God 's Sons ... Now it makes sense. This is why Jesus said what He said about Himself as a Son of God P.S. Children are Sons and Daughters ... Right? The Holy Spirit revealed this grouping of verses to me. Since Adam Eve

Aneesa for allah you need to read Acts chapters 10 11, as well as the whole NEW Testament. God gave the old Testament primarily for the Jewish people that He chose simply because He loved them. The new Testament, in Jesus ' blood, is given to all mankind! Shows just how powerful the living sacrifice, Jesus Christ is, and how much God cared for His sinful, helpless, and hopeless creation! What a Great LORD that my God is!

In Christ we live and breathe and have our being. He indwells us and keeps us from yeilding to temptations. As we meditate on his word day and night, we grow in Grace and find ourselves constanting resisting temptations for we are led by his Spirit. We can live wonderful lives resisting sins of the flesh as we abide in Him for without Him we can do nothing to please Him. There is no greater life than JESUS CHRIST.

Please explain .which animal specifically

Pork is clearly forbidden in the bible,,yet christians do eat pig!!!!which bible do you guys follow?????

Deuteronomy 14 11 12 Of all clean birds ye shall eat. But these are they of which ye shall not eat the eagle, and the ossifrage deer eagle , and the ospray sea eagle , Deuteronomy 14 13 20 And the glede vulture family , and the kite falcon , and the vulture after his kind, And every raven gold black raven after his kind, And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow seagull , and the hawk after his kind, The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant pelican family , And the stork, and the heron parrot after her kind, and the lapwing grouse , and the bat. And every creeping thing termites , that flieth that swarms is great numbers is unclean unto you they shall not be eaten. But of all clean fowls duck, goose, chicken, partridge, pheasant, prairie chicken, quail, turkey ye may eat. The rule of thumb is not to eat of any scavengers, whether it is a fish, bird or animal. Scavengers are filters, placed here by Almighty God to filter out uncleanness from the earth and to cut down on diseases and to protect His children that He considers precious. To break these health and food laws are sins against your health and not against eternal soul.

A peculiar people A People that are special to GOD, Holy and accepted by God. Because of who Jesus Christmas is,and because of what He did.

yes this passages applies to us. as we need to consider the 7th year of release and consider giving pardon , making ppl free, helping them. I also think about the slavery issue in our country years back, and how sinful it was for the Christians not to show such kindness on the ppl and where the slaves should have been released and helped in gaining independence.

Sorry Angel but strong drink does NOT equate to sweet drink but alcohol Fact is people often use the term strong drink to discourage alcohol use The term strong drink is used in Leviticus 10 9 and Proverbs 20 in relation to alcohol Some drafts of that verse use the term fermentation which is the technical definition for the process by which liquids become alcoholic Alcohol like food can be used in moderation The bible warns us against gluttony but no one is going to say that you can t eat The scriptures warn us against sexual immorality but 1 Corinthians 7 verse 2 tells people to have spouses IOT avoid sexual immorality ie to have sex with your spouse instead of doing so outside of marriage Look there s no way you can avoid temptation we re all sinners the question is how are you going to respond By attempting to be the super abstinent Christian you re going to find yourself NOT enjoying your walk with the Lord nor celebrating life which is what Deuteronomy 14 verse 26 is telling you to do By not enjoying your walk with the Lord you re setting yourself up to fail big time That is the condition under which you re most vulnerable and where sin and temptation win out

What is levite and what they do in life Again when every year mouth week or day we should given tithes

I was confused by the words "Strong drink", but by further reading I conclude that it was not liquor, but a sweet drink. Angel

excellent writer and i like his way of being explisive which ease understanding.

I am just confused as what clean birds are mentioned in the bible. Can you list them as there are lot of birds.

These laws was given to Israel, but i believe God wanted this for all people.God have one law for the stranger and the home borne.To say that Christ put a end to these healthy directive is to say He doesn't wish christian to be prosperous and be in good health.

This text is not speaking to the drunkard, but what ever you do to the glory of God. The Apostle Paul told us not to be drunk with wine, where in is excess, but to be filled with the Spirit. Psalm 23 warned not to look on the wine when it is red. Psalm 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and who ever drinks is deceived thereby. The totality of scripture tells us that moderation must be used, so that you will not get drunk. I Cor.6 the drunkard will not inherit the kingdom of God. As long as moderation is used, and for medicinal reasons it is good

I fail to see the drunkard here. define drunkard




i

Illuminating, especially in the use of the word peculiar. I've heard several interpretations of this passage taking the use of the word "peculiar" to mean "strange". Has anyone else run across this?

Moses shows the two different group of animals, clean and unclean which we can eat and we cannot eat. This means that as christian we need tobe like ruminants which they chew twice and their hoof are devided separately into two parts,so though we are chewing twice for knowledge only but we are not separated from our sins we are remain uncleaned to God.

Deuteronomy (14:8)
"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase."
if this is this the law (Toura) why majority of the Christians Having flesh of swine?
