I’m not going to bother debating the issue with you. Instead, I encourage you to read Dr. Michael Heiser’s ‘The Unseen Realm’. When you have done so, feel free to respond further. :)

There is evidence that Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 11 are based on the erroneous anatomical beliefs of the day. It was believed that a woman's hair had a role in her physical sexual processes. "Does not nature itself teach you..." would therefore be 1st-century misunderstanding of "nature" and...

Lots of Christians "just quit" for a time, when they are really struggling with hearing God or are going through a rebellious phase. Many of them return to the faith later in life. A few on this forum have testified to such. That tells me your second sentence is incorrect. Let's be careful not...

Yes, it is. You were trying to make the argument that a later realization applies to an earlier observation. That is a fallacious anachromism. No, it does not. It says, "sons of God"; bene Elohim. Those Hebrew words are not the words for 'angels'. No, he is not. You're now making a circular...

Your question tells me that you don’t understand the Law at all. Most of the ordinances are not prohibitions. The Holy Spirit’s guidance supersedes the Law but He will not lead the believer to sin. That said, the Law does not explain everything that is sin.

It’s “Zacharias”, and speculation on the final judgment of another person is not our place. It’s also a waste of time. ;)

He didn’t “insinuate” anything of the sort. Rather, He gave us His Spirit by Whom we live. The indwelling Spirit guides us and leads us in God’s ways and not into sin. This is what ‘Christian’ legalists don’t understand. They think that external laws are needed to restrict human sin. In truth...

It doesn’t; that’s my point. Yet it is generally understood that, in scripture, a “talent” implies a talent of gold.

Just a reminder: a biblical tithe was never money given to a local church congregation. The concept of money as a tithe is an invention of the Roman Catholics.

None of which is any evidence that I denied Scripture. Your insult is still baseless.

While I’m not American, I do understand the purpose behind separating church and state… and short of the eternal kingdom, I consider it appropriate. If someone wants Bibles in schools, why don’t they simply ask Christian organizations to supply them? The stated requirements of ‘KJV only’ and...

Hmm… no evidence to support your insult. That reflects rather poorly on you.

It’s about time you back up your claim with actual quotations where I have denied Scripture… or be proven a liar.

Any other percentage, lesser or greater, is not a tithe. ;) However, as several have already noted, tithing is a requirement under the law, not under Christ. :)

What is the work to which the Father has for you? To do your best to follow the Law that is now obsolete? No; to believe in the One Whom He has sent. I encourage you to meditate on the practical meaning of “rest in Christ”.

There is a vast difference between rank and reward. You seem to be looking at these matters through very carnal, self-important lenses.

Your arrogance is unbecoming anyway, and all the more given that you completely missed the point. “Cursed is the ground because of you” is something that most men work *against*, not with. It’s something that (most) Christian men don’t wish upon others nor do they tell others to embrace it or...

Not by the will of Christian men, they aren’t.

So now we are making gross unwarranted assumptions?

If “and he shall rule over thee” is a “continuing mandate” then so is this: “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground….” Perhaps you should...
