And it continues that Christians are not required to ‘tithe’.

There's a very successful real-life IndyCar driver named Will Power. I guess intrinsic motivation is a thing. ;)

I agree that these have been used in support of tithing, but in each case, one must either ignore context or engage in hermeneutical gymnastics to make the case. The context shows that this collection was for the Church in Jerusalem, which was suffering under a famine at that time. It had...

What you call "Circular logic" God calls His word. Take it up with Him.

Should the plural of medium be media? The media is (are?) pretty gloomy these days, but that's an aside....

As I live where winter temperatures can be below -30 for weeks on end, owning an electric vehicle is silly. I’ll join Team Luddite on this issue. My brother lives in the mildest climate in the country and drives an electric car… though more for the performance and low operating cost than for...

Speaking to myself as much as to you. ;)

While debating the "Captain Obvious" stuff isn't needed, declaring it is, as we never know when an unbeliever is viewing what we read and may learn the gospel through our words. :)

Fresh mackerel is, in my opinion, quite tasty. I haven’t tried canned mackerel, but I would. And since I’m answering out odf sequence I won’t ask a question.

While this research is interesting, the explanation is inadequate for explaining the fall, in which all creation became ‘broken’.

I really don't want to consider what tomorrow's special might be. I'm certainly not ordering the calamari.

Only if looking at "her" makes you a heretic. ;)

Intelligence can be faked too.

The ability to post a meme does not indicate intelligence. Your choice of an ignorance-based meme does lead me to question your intelligence.

I'll admit I haven't traveled much, but I've never seen any pastor standing on mild drinks. Perhaps a few have climbed up on kegs or wine vats... probably while in the process of brewing their own. :cool:
