See those words, "practices" and "continually"? The are critical to correct understanding of the passage. They don't say "People never commit any sin once they become Christians". Edit: I just read VARob's post. He thunk it before I thunk it.

Wow. Some eye-opening stuff in there (pun intended).

None of which has anything to do with 'tithing'.

You are a legalist because you claim to follow the law and imply (at least) that others are wrong for not doing so.

Did God say “Perfect”? No. Don’t twist the words of God.

Agreed. You cannot be acting in free will if you are under obligation and risk of penalty. :)

You could have simply admitted that you were wrong.

Gail Riplinger has absolutely no scholarly credibility. Find better sources!

More unfounded judgmental statements. Okay... now that I know what kind of person you are and how you want to be treated, I will treat you accordingly.

You are so convinced that everyone else is wrong that you are overstating your own case and stepping into error yourself. Genesis 1:1-5 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of...

To the last two statements, I agree completely. To the first two, in principle, you are correct, but in practice, you are not. Do you give 100% of your income to Christian ministries, and you live on nothing at all? I doubt it. Regardless, the question on the table is whether Christians are...

No feelings? Wow... you are quick to judge. Oh well, I know the One whose judgement matters.

It is difficult to understand why so many Christians don’t know that they are not under the old covenant.

Firstly, let's get the terminology straight. Tithing is not giving. The two are different things, and sadly many Christians mix up the terms, confusing themselves and others. Secondly, I really couldn't care less what you call me, but being a judgmental jackdonkey demonstrates where your heart...

Wow… nothing like an unsubstantiated rumour or three to form the basis of an opinion.

Paul (actual Paul, not "attributed by some to Paul") wrote, "You foolish Galatians; who has bewitched you?" which applies in this case. Hebrews 7 is not rightly interpreted as requiring (or even suggesting) that Christians are to 'tithe'. The section you quoted simply demonstrates the status...

Again, your concept of "faith alone" is flawed. Study the history instead of making wild assertions that have little to no relationship to the actual issue.

Again, who is making these alleged "changes"?

Welcome to CC, Dave! Glad to have you aboard... and yes, Jesus is the Son of God, and is Himself God. :)

There are several threads which might weave together to form addictions. One is the physical response to the stimulus, commonly rooted in hormonal releases. Drugs, sugar, sex and gambling are addictive because they lead to release of endorphins, the "feel good" hormones. Sugar (and all...
