Okay... I see no value in arguing your point, but you haven't explained what it means for rightly interpreting and applying Galatians 3:28. Are you saying that only people descended from ancient Israel can become "real" Christians?

There's another two-letter word that helps you find the woman of your dreams: "No". Stay tuned for more dating advice. ;)

Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon (I can individual strips, can’t I?)

The meme would be more funny if it didn’t contain a spelling error.

It was indeed toxic, and sadly it took me a long time to accept it. You and I disagree on tithing, but I appreciate your conciliatory tone. :)

The church I was in taught (on this subject) a combination of biased testimony, emotional manipulation and distortions of Scripture. They ‘required’ it for membership. I studied Scripture, prayed, and sought out everything I could find on the subject. Every argument I came across in favour of...

Yes… back when I believed as you do but heard ridiculous misrepresentations of Scripture from various pastors and speakers. I did my homework and the Lord revealed the truth to me. I stand against the misuse of the term ‘tithing’ and the erroneous teaching that tithing is in any way required...

I recognize I was engaging in gross generalization, and that some very decent people prefer Starbucks to other vendors. Personally, I find that Starbucks coffee tastes burnt to me, and I like dark roast coffee.

Yes... and He did fulfill the Law. It is now obsolete, according to Hebrews 8:13. "For as many as the promises of God are, in Him they are yes" 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NASB). The promised blessing is through Christ, not through obedience to the Law. Quote me where I wrote that... or apologize for...

I can see the point of going to Starbucks if you want to meet the kind of woman who drinks their “coffee”…. Fortunately I found myself a Tim Hortons gal. 😎

You are sidestepping your own point. The issue, as you have raised it, is whether salvation is by faith alone, not to whom it applies. ;)

He met with Moses, not Abraham. Scripture doesn’t say that or anything like it. Such as? Under the covenant of Law, tithing was not voluntary. Under the covenant of the blood of Jesus, tithing is only mentioned in a historical context, in only one passage, which is not directive. Well… we...

"The One enthroned in heaven laughs" Psalm 2:4a. Have you read the whole Bible? If not, I'd recommend doing so before making such all-encompassing statements. ;)

Thanks, and same to you! Wait... we don't have Memorial Day in Canada. Oh well, thanks anyway! :)

I agree. Yes, this topic does resonate with me because I have seen firsthand the damage that is done to Christians by leaders who promote “tithing”. I bristle when I hear someone say, “tithes” or “tithes and offerings” in the context of the local church… because at best it is incorrect and at...
