The tithe was Israel's law, never laid on the body of Christ — so what replaces it? Paul gives something freer than a percentage: cheerful, purposed, proportionate giving that flows from grace already received. This study shows where grace giving comes from, what governs it, and where the gift goes.

Daniel's fast, the clean and unclean of Leviticus, the back-to-Eden vegan plan — every so-called biblical diet borrows food rules God gave to other people under other programs. Rightly divided, none of them binds the Body of Christ, to whom God gave liberty at the table with thanksgiving.

Paul's words fallen from grace are taken as proof the saved can be lost. In their setting they mean almost the opposite of misbehavior: a fall toward law, not into sin. Rightly divided, the standing in grace cannot be lost — what falls is the walk, when a believer trades grace as his operating principle for the law.

The Bible speaks about marriage to mankind before the law, to Israel under the law and the kingdom, and to the Body of Christ under grace. Read as one rule to one people, it binds commandments God never gave us. Rightly divided, the Lord's strict word to Israel and Paul's word of grace each fall into place — and grace gives far more than the law.

Paul calls his own writings the commandments of the Lord, yet says we are not under law but under grace. Both stand. A law conditions standing on performance and curses failure; Paul's commandments are given to sons already accepted, touch the walk but never the standing, come with the Spirit's power, and are fulfilled in liberty and love.

Does the Bible command total abstinence from alcohol? The favorite prooftexts — the grape juice at Cana, the kings of Proverbs 31, the woe of Habakkuk 2 — are examined in context, alongside God's own command of a strong drink offering, and the liberty the Body of Christ has under grace, rightly divided.

Paul's instruction on apparel is brief and principle-based — dress modestly without ostentation. This article examines how Old Testament texts have been misused to legislate hemlines and prohibit pants, what the Bible actually means by nakedness in a clothing context, and what the new creature actually wears.
