Here is a refresher, Elder: Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." |
The Spirit led the first giving tithes since the Spirit inspired the writers to record it. Then The Spirit made flesh said to do it Mt. 23:23 and the Apostles taught it.
1Cor. 9,
Heb. 7.
Thanks for the refresher course indeed we all need more of it including myself. The Spirit itself produces those attributes if I live in His Spirit.
However Jesus and the Apostles were quite severe in dealing with false teachers. Mt. 23 ,
Acts 7, 13 and many other passages.
I haven't called y'all a serpent or a fox or a blind guide or a hypocrite, child of the devil. They did. And they had the fruit of the Spirit.
Glad I could be of a help to y'all.
