The word marriage in Hebrew is also the word for doctrine. Paul said when he spoke of marriage, he was speaking of Christ and the church. he also said the wife should learn from her husband. The bride of Christ are those who are taught by Christ.

Jesus said that there is no marriage in the resurrection. So this is the life to learn doctrine. He said if you thought there was marriage in the resurrection, you did not know the scriptures nor the power of God.

MOST Bible teachers will tell you the marriage of the Lamb will happen in the resurrection. They do not know the scriptures, nor the power of God.

The word 'amar' in Hebrew is 'Word and said" and 'Lamb' when you ignore the vowels which were added about 600 AD. When God "SAID: let there be light" he created light by the Lamb. The Lamb is the creator God.

When John the baptist siad: Behold the LAMB of God, some people heard him say: Behold the WORD of God.

The marriage banquet of the Lamb occurred after the cross. A banquet is when there is a lot to eat. Since gluttony is a sin, do you really think God would entice us into the kingdom using a literal banquet? It was an explosion of doctrine that took place when Christ was resurrected.

All the Old Testament scriptures spoke of Christ, but it was hidden in childish riddles and wordplay; prophetic riddle. The answer to the riddles came through the cross, and then Christ could be seen in all the OT. This was the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Those who teach that the Bible is ONLY a literal-historical record are hiding Christ from your eyes. Not all are intentional liars, but they parrot what they have been told.

The cross reveals the 'mystery which has been hidden from the beginning'. Be taught by Christ and you will be his bride.

A church that teaches that you are saved by grace but keeps preaching tithing is an abomination which is sold out. God doesn't need your money coerced from you, he wants your heart.

>Tithing should absolutely be taught but churches have to remain blameless.

>The wilderness tent temple was commanded to be funded by voluntary tithing, before the advent of kings and taxes. God doesn't want your money per se but he wants you to sacrifice something of worth.

The tithing in the desert was for Israel to be a dinner theater for the world. If you aren't Jewish, the law wasn't given to you.

>"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."

>Malachi 3:10

Spoken to Jews. Convince me that the local church is a storehouse of God and we might have a conversation.

>Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

>Matthew 19:21

The letter 'gimel' means 'a rich man chasing after a poor man.' The word 'gimel' is 'camel'

The rich man chased after the poor man; Jesus. He called him 'good' and asked how to enter the kingdom. Jesus responded that only God was good, but if he kept the commandments, he would do well.

The rich man made a mistake. He claimed to be equal to God, since he too was 'good' by keeping all the commandments.

Jesus, who was God incarnate, then said to him, <paraphrase"If you are like God, then do what God has done. I have left my high estate in heaven, God of God possessing all, to be this poor man before you. You go do the same and follow me.

When you thread a needle, you spit on the thread and straighten it, the try to put it through the needle. But if your hand is not steady, the thread bends down and you have to try again. But if you hold the thread with your hand on your cheek bone to steady it, you can bring the needle to it.

The rich man held himself as the center of the law, and brought the law to himself, interpreting it in such a way as to justify himself. He threaded the needle of the law, allowing teh law to pass on both sides of him without touching his conscience.

Jesus said it was easier for a gimel-camel to pass through a real needle, than for the gimel-rich-man to justify himself by the law.

The teaching has nothing to do with tithing.

When God has your heart, he has all of you. It is a shame that you would judge yourself more worthy for your tithing than the one who gives all.

>Tithing should absolutely be taught but churches have to remain blameless.

OK. Then teach it properly.

Abraham tithed the spoils of war. And gave the rest of the spoils back to those they were originally taken from.

Jacob tithed because he did not believe God would bless him, and he wanted to lock in the deal. He obligated Israel to the tithe. It was not asked for by God. Malachi reminded them of their obligation. The result of Jacob/Isreal's disbelief was children of the flesh who died in the desert.

The word 'agape' is not a Greek word meaning 'super love'. Itis a Hebrew word meaning 'the combatants'. It is the love you give your enemies with not expectation of return. This is God's love, that while we were enemies of God, Christ died for us.

This is the self-sacrificing love of the true believer who is indwelt by the Spirit. All he is and all he does belongs to God. He is not limited by the law of tithing, no more so than by the law of murder. He does not kill because he loves. He does not cling to the things of the world because he loves.

>"And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life."

Yep… sounds more like the 100% I spoke of rather than your legalistic, self-justifying tithe.

And which archeologist did you make into an apostle to get your interpretation and picture? There seems to be some doubt that your interpretation is correct.

Some have very reasoned arguments to doubt it.

The choice to believe or not, is yours. You can believe you are justified by giving 10% as if it is a gift to coerce a pagan god, or you can believe that God wants all of you; something not possible without his indwelling Spirit.

Some would think the answer is self-evident.

Yeah? When you start correcting the gore and porn fags come back and remind me.
