Pastor Moses seems to get very protective when he hears other pastors preaching things that he insists are heresy, and finds no problem with publicly rebuking them for the way they are misleading God’s flock… Hmmm, John can’t help but wonder how Pastor Moses would react if someone publicly rebuked him on similar grounds for preaching heresy.

John can’t figure out what the difference is between preaching that Christians are still obligated to be circumcised and preaching that Christians are still obligated to tithe. Why is preaching circumcision heresy in Pastor Moses mind, but preaching tithing is totally acceptable? Aren’t they both part of the old covenant ceremonial law?

(Note from Mick: I was recently interviewed for the ‘growing in grace’ podcast and I gave my personal views on tithing. You can listen to it here: Mick Mooney’s Interview With Growing In Grace )

John is having a tough time trying to figure out why Pastor Moses is so convinced tithing is part of the new covenant, but circumcision is not. Aren’t they both religious obligations from the old covenant? Can we break the law up into pieces and take some of it into the new covenant and leave the rest in the old, or did Jesus fulfill every old covenant obligation on our behalf, so we could now live in a new covenant of grace?

Pastor Moses doesn’t see what Johns problem is. He thinks tithing is great.
