Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
Is tithing a cardinal christian requirement?
Are there instances of tithe paying in the early church in the book of Acts of Apostles or in the Epistles?
Are Christians who don’t pay tithe in danger of God’s curse and anger?
I wonder what Revelation 20:12-14 is talking about in terms of "the dead". It seems they are different groups, but share a common label.
In ch20, how does "the dead" compare between v5 and v12?
The verset ". . .slanders not with his tongue" is missing from the Psalm (15,3) found at Qumran. The LXX does contain this reference to slander which begs the question, at least for me, when would this have been added post-Dead S…
In Numbers 18:19, God says the holy contributions made by the people of Israel belong to Aaron and his descendants forever, as a “covenant of salt”. I’ve never seen this term before. What does it mean?

Mark 8:14-21 (NRSV): Now the disciples had forgotten to bring any bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out—beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.” 16 The…
“If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.”
1 Corinthians 3:15 NASB1995
I understand that the worker will lose reward if he doesn’t build upon a person’s faith with…
The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) is nearly identical to the Parable of the Ten Minas (Luke 19:11-27).
One major change is that the values and quantities of the money is very different in each parable, as well as the number of …
In describing the borders of every inherited piece of land in the book of Joshua it is said that the border of Naphtali touches Judah at the Jordan on the east.
