Not only is the tithing message taken out of context in most Christian churches, but everything else...why do you suppose we worship on the day set aside for worshiping the Sun God, we don't celebrate God's feast...the message this morning written by Spurgeon speaks to this same issue. Elijah was were God told him to be, doing what God told him to do. The same can be said for the others in the remnant..do you suppose that they weren't being Torah observant because they were special, under grace?

What do you all suppose was ment when Jesus says that many will come in my name saying Lord, Lord (master, master...as though they were under his authority), did we not prophecy (speak about you, quoting your own words) about you, did we not cast out demons, did we not do miracles in your name?  and he will say to them "get away you lawless servants, I never knew you"  a lawless servant is one who doesn't do what the master says and God's stated will for our lives is to obey His commandments - yes all 613 of them in so far as they apply to you.  You may be surprised to learn that there really aren't that many that apply to you.

You can quote all you want about the separation of law and grace, the dispensational view point, or replacement theology, or covenant theology...the bottom line is that we are grafted into the remnant of faithful Israel, not the other way around. A branch cannot sustain itself.

While I have heard many arguments for who will go in the rapture, I am pretty confident it will be those who do as the Lord commanded, not necessarily those who have done the most research. Search your hearts before the Lord, even as I am. Come out of Babylon, submit yourselves to the Lord.
