Luke 6:38
Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you.

Its all John 3:16. The old testament was totally fulfilled by the crucifixion. We all know that. No good works— church attendance - tithing necessary any more. Just belief in the “savior”.

Those who support homosexuals are
against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have
NO sympathy for homosexuals!
Homosexuality is a
"Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"
The answer is in the definition of "
REPROBATE".
rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]
- 1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.
-
Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.
- 2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.
-
They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.
- 3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.
And the reason
"why" is
given in the Bible.
God has
a cure for homosexuals.
But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37"
Remember:
"For the time is come that JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN at the house of God:and if it first begin at us,what shall the end be of them that obey NOT the gospel of God?"
Remember:
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits.Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit;but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
NOT every one that saith unto me,Lord, Lord, SHALL ENTER into the kingdom of heaven;but HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day,Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them,I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.
Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them,I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house;and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT,shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house;and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:For he taught them as one having authority,
Think you,
that Jesus came to do away with the Law ?
God forbid !
A wise man one said in a meeting I attended in person:
Sin is the breaking of God's law.
Repenting of sin means being sorry you have broken God's law.
If you are sorry, it means you do not intend breaking His law any further!
Let's illustrate it this way:You live in a society which must be regulated according to various laws.
There are federal, state, county and local laws which regulate practically every act and deed.
Whether we are speaking here of federal laws, civil codes or simply traffic laws, the same principle applies.
You are required in order to retain your freedom and your citizenship to obey the laws of our country.
If you break some of them, it may only require a fine or a very small penalty, or even a warning, and you will be allowed to remain free.
Breaking others can be far more serious.
Grand theft, larceny, arson, robbery, burglary, auto theft or murder could get you thrown behind bars
(not withstanding the terrible laxity of the courts today).
Let's suppose you have done precisely this.
Maybe, caught up in an emotional state with wrong companions, you perpetrate some act which is clearly against the law.
Let's assume you are arrested and in due time brought to trial.
But, during the trial, just as the judge has imposed upon you a terrific fine which you would never be able to pay say, a million dollars
a completely unknown stranger, your benefactor, stands and says,"Your honor, I believe this man is seriously contrite.
I believe he got caught up in the emotion of the moment and was under the influence of some evil companions.
I feel he is a man of integrity and wishes truly to mend his ways and live a better life.
"Therefore, I am willing to pay his fine myself so he can go free, and he doesn't need to pay this penalty!"
Although it probably wouldn't happen in our society, it does illustrate the point.
The judge (as a type of God the Father) would say to the benefactor (who is a type of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for our own sins),"That will be fine!
You may step up and pay the court $1 million and we will write on the court recordsthat the man who has been accused is free to go."
Then the judge may look at you, the person who has been arrested, tried and sentenced, and say,"You are free to go.
But don't ever get caught up in that kind of a situation again!"
Do you see?
You are required, as a citizen of a free country, to obey its laws, or else
In the case of God's divine laws, you are required, whether you know about them or not (ignorance of the law is no excuse), whether you are a Christian, a professing Christian or whatever, to obey God's Ten Commandments.
Though people by the millions freely break the Ten Commandments every single day, they are unknowingly coming under the penalty of the law, which is death! (Romans 6:23).
When you repent, you are saying to God you are deeply sorry you have broken His laws.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth as the counsel for the defense says to God, the Righteous Judge, that He believes in your profession of repentance
and is willing to allow His own sacrifice to be applied in your case!
Then, just as Jesus said to the woman taken in the very act of adultery, God will say the same thing to you,"Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more!"
True repentance, then, meansbeing deeply sorry you have broken God's Ten Commandments,
resolving through the power of God's Holy Spirit and the help of Jesus Christ as your daily High Priest and Intercessor,
not to break the Ten Commandments henceforth.
Don't fall into Satan's deception of believing that
God's Laws , The Ten Commandments are done away with.

Oh one more thought. If we have to comply with anything except belief that Jesus is our savior— we are totally doomed. So true. I hope this helps you. Old Testament is totally gone. 10 commandments are totally ambiguous anyway, That is why God SAVED US> You are SAVED— Right?

Fro htose that may be struggling with whether one can lose salvation or not, or whether we shoudl live by old testament laws- The ten commandments are ‘good moral values’ to live by, but liek willardwx says, they do not save- if they do save, then Christ’s death was in vain, for ONLY a pure and perfect sacrifice can save forever and fully save. All things are made new, old has passed away (ie- the law)
In John 10:28-30, Jesus says: I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”
If Christ gives us eternal life at salvation, but we can later ‘mess up salvation’ by sinning and causing our souls to be in peril of hell, then this verse is meaningless and Christ a liar-
Hebrews You are here: God >> The Bible >> Hebrews 6
1 So let us stop going over the basics of Christianity* again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start all over again with the importance of turning away from evil deeds and placing our faith in God.1
2 You don’t need further instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
3 And so, God willing, we will move forward to further understanding.
4 For it is impossible to restore to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit,
5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come—
6 and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people to repentance again because they are nailing the Son of God to the cross again by rejecting him, holding him up to public shame.
7 When the ground soaks up the rain that falls on it
This of course is talking of apostates- those who ‘got close to salvation’ but never took the finalizing step of true acceptance and who later turned agaisnt God- God will NOT give these peopel, these apostates, a second chance- But the principle also stands for Christians inthat we can NOT keep sacrificign our Lord and Savior by continually beign saved, losing salvation, beign saved again etc- If we coudl do so- then we woudl be continually subjectign /Christ to the shame that came abotu because of the crucifiction- God spells it out loud and clear in verse 6- If Christ must be crucified tiem and time again by our losing our salvation because of things liek not obeying hte old testament laws, then His sacrifice was an INSUFFICIENT saccrifice no better than the yearly sacrifices of impure animals that the jews sacrificed (Spotless animals did NOT mean ‘pure animals’ they were still impure due to beign under the curse)

Well said. I think I agree with you. I like to refer to the “rule followers”as “legalists”. One of the main legal requirements is “tithing” which,as you know is not in the New Testament and is sold as being there by liars from a “pulpit” in a mortgaged building wanting their house payment and car payment, 401k etc. Give me the money, I am the agent for God. Ha.
Nice to meet you and God Bless.

It’s funny because I was broguht up beleiving that we had to tithe 10% at least- then recently, about a mionth ago I found that this teachign was infact wrong- The sermon I questioned was teachign that tithing was the one hting God promissed to bless- I’d never heard that before, so I looked into it and foudn that God doen’t infact promise new testament beleivers any such blessing and doesn’t demand a tithe at all- although He does encourage supoorting thsoe who serve as the spirit leads I guess-

i agree. i think in matthew 17? jesus and three disciples Copernicus.Jesus refuses to pay the “temple tax” . i think Peter say that it will make the pharisees mad . Jesus explains that “Does a king tax his children? you get it. then he creates a miracle by creating the denari in a fishes mouth so they can placate the administration and speak in the synagog. But note carefully he did not use His money— he printed some like Obama.
also look at the money changers HE THREW OUT , in a new light.
What were they doing? They were collecting the temple tax!! the temple would not take roman coins!! so the collectors converted Roman to Silver to get the Temple tax. Was Jesus upset with the “money Changers or the Temple tax?
