The Rod: Will God Spare It? Ch 1 – KAU#170 Pt 1
IN THIS ISSUE
*******************
THE ROD: WILL GOD SPARE IT?
-Reviews and Foreword
-CHAPTER 1 [without footnotes]
===============================
Reviews:
“Pastor Faust has scoured the entire Bible to answer a question seldom asked or faced. Will there be a judgment of believers at the Bema Seat of Christ as Paul points out in 2 Cor. Five. He has come to the conclusion there will be a judgment and some will be rewarded with millennial blessings. Others will be rejected. He has also scoured the works of many devout Bible scholars and found that they have come to the same conclusion and provided us with their names, works and actual quotations to substantiate their views. Many pastors will reject this book for they do not expect their ministries to be tried. They will not recommend the book, for so long they have pampered their members into continuing lethargy and laxity in Christian living. A few will awake and get ready for the Bema Seat.”

God, The Belly, or the Credit Card? – KAU#176 Pt 2
GOD, THE BELLY, OR THE CREDIT CARD?: AN EXAMINATION OF TITHING IN RELATION TO MODERN CHRISTIANS (PART II)
**********************************************
THE OBLIGATION TO TITHE IS NOT ABOLISHED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
“Moral obligation, ‘oughtness,’ is the grown man that still lives: Hebrew ritual is the infant departed.”
(Babbs, “The Law of the Tithes,” 1912)
The New Testament never once abolishes the tithe. We can, however, argue that the principle has been modified:
Hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a CHANGE also of the law.
We can argue that under grace we are to go beyond this minimum:

Spiritual Adultery: Yoking with Rome and the State
Hosea 2:5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that GIVE ME MY BREAD and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
“…Rome is called a harlot, never an adulteress; for Christ has never owned her as His Bride…” (D.M. Panton, “A Federated Church,” 1922)

The Head Pastor Model and the Angels of Revelation 2 & 3
The subject of the “one presiding pastor model” for church government has become (at least in some circles) a popular and controversial subject. A “plurality of elders/bishops” is certainly seen in the Bible (Philippians 1:1, Acts 20:17). In a former article, I called attention to the lack of respect for aged men in churches. But I must confess, I do not think that “aged men” fully satisfies the meaning of “elders” in many of these Scriptures. I appreciate the feedback from readers. It appears that, at times, there was more than one ordained “elder” (the office) serving in churches. Yet, there are two questions that must be asked here:
