Good day everyone,it was a great time with brother Eli today during the Bible Exposition, held today been the 2nd of January, 2022. So many lessons were learn during the zoom gathering
Here is a short video of what I learnt
Below are some of the important points I learnt from God's word discussed during the Bible Exposition via Zoom
A question was raised by a sister Glory, which was if is a sin before God not to give tithe .
The answer given by brother Eli was, Tithe is not a commandment of our time.
Hebrew 7.5 The sons of Levi were commanded before God to collect tithe because they were not getting any contributions.
Hebrew 7:12 We are Christian because we are under the priesthood of Christ so the law has changed.
Acts 13:39 The law of Moses is not apply in the time of Christ . What is the law of Christ that we should follow?
1 Corinthians 14:37 The things written by the apostle were the law of the Lord. And what is the law?
2 Corinthians 9:7 God love a cheerful giver. So what we will give God in the Church, should be given willing, voluntarily, without been forced or asked to.
2 Corinthians 8:3. They give willingly, voluntarily those are not tithe they give of their own free will.
A Question was raised from a brother which was, after obeying all the commandments of God and refused to be baptized can such a person be safe?
Brother Elisoriano response was
If you belief in the bible you will know that the part of the ordinance of God is baptism.
Acts 22:16 The first thing for sins to be washed is baptism.
Act 2:38. Baptism is the washing away of sin and if the sin is not washed away,we can't be safe.
2 Timothy 2:20 You can only be used by God when you are a clean vessel.
Question was raised by sister Sarah. Which was,how can one find the truth in the bible testifying that the old path is the true religion?
Brother Elisoriano response was
The proof is that which is written....
1 John 1:3-4. That which they have seen and heard is what they have testified.
1 John 1:2 and 5 The word of the Lord Jesus Christ the doctrines, the teachings and commandment were what they wrote. It's their testimony
1 Corinthians 1:1-2. They all gathered in the Church of God not somewhere else.
2 Corinthians 1:1. It is the Church of God in what ever bible you read it from. It is the church of God that is the testimony and proof.
** My old believe that was improve by listening to the zoom meeting is**
Initially,I thought tithe is a compulsory thing to do. Like is bringing the 10 percent of what you earn or what you are been given.
How the study has affected me and i will start applying them in my daily lives
Now, I know that tithe is a thing that should be done willingly , voluntarily from the heart not a 10 percent thing. And not to be forced by anyone.
Thanks be to God!
