The uncomfortable reality is that Scripture does not tell us, therefore any answer is speculative and any argument based on speculation is not valid.

So once again you go off topic while demanding that others stay on it. Hypocrite.

As do you.

Do you believe that you should grow up and take responsibility for your actions?

God tells us in Romans 8:28: ”And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.“ God can use sicknesses for His good purpose but that is distinctly different from claiming that sickness is a blessing in itself.

What earth quacks? There’s a meme in there somewhere… or is it a nene?

This is misleading at best. According to the Law of Moses, the tithe belongs to God: Leviticus 27:30 “‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord." However, Christians are not under the Old Testament...

Do you mean the word “raquia”?

The answer to your question is stated specifically in the text.

I agree with your motivation. :)

Um... you're a bit late for an April fool, but if you're serious, I strongly suggest reading Genesis 1 carefully.

It might sound like common sense, but it's not what Scripture says. There was only one law given. "It is not good for man to live alone" is not a law, but a statement of a problem needing a solution... which God had already planned. Men didn't "digest evil"; one man disobeyed God's command and...

This is good information, though the context limits its applicability. It was for a special offering for the support of the Jerusalem church, which, if I recall correctly, was enduring a famine during this period. It was not instruction for regular support of the local congregation.

Some people say the firmament is a rigid dome.

You're thinking of the tithe as money; it was never money under the Law. Until you grasp that fundamental distinction, the confusion will remain. I have no idea how much you or anyone else should give; that is between you, your spouse (if you're married), and the Lord. Perhaps you earn...

Good. At least the possibility of that heresy is put to rest. The English word "begotten" does not capture the meaning of monogenes. There isn't a single English word that does. "One of a kind" is close; I've heard "species-unique" as well. There is no other like Jesus; He is in a...

This rather kills the whole "dome" theory.

No argument there. However, this thread is not about generosity, but about "tithing", and "tithing" is not generosity. Let's not confuse the issues.

You’d think one of them would have seen it.
