Welcome to CC... FYI, the leap year has nothing to do with the length of days, but rather with the length of a lap of the earth around the sun. It isn't 365 years, but (close to) 365 and 1/4 days. Those 1/4 days are handled with the leap day every fourth year.

Where is that in Scripture?

Yes, but according to Scripture it should come from the congregation's voluntary contributions, not mandated submission of resources. Tithing was only ever voluntary in the case of Abram. Under the Law (under which Malachi wrote his work), it was compulsory.

Hello and welcome to CC, Craig. :) FYI, there are creation apologists with far better reputations than that of Kent Hovind; he is a convicted criminal.

Well played. ;)

The problem is that science has largely been infected with anti-theistic naturalism resulting in interpretations of the observed world that are contradictory to the revealed word of God. Evolution (naturalistic macroevolution) depends on assumptions that are outside of science. They are...

Why would I try to defend claims I haven't made?

I agree that you may need to walk away from a romantic relationship (or potential thereof) where the other person is not a believer. I don't believe you need to walk away from other kinds of relationships simply for the same reason. We are called to be salt and light in the world, not to avoid...

Of what Bible? The HEBREW Bible, like I said. However, since you want to use the KJV, here it is: Psalm 82:1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. 3 Defend the poor and...

The passage you cited from Ezekiel 13 is much more clear in the NASB, NIV, or ESV than it is in the KJV. As for the latter part of my post, it appears that you are promoting the idea that Ezekiel 13 has yet to be fulfilled. Is that what you believe?

Thank you, yes. I am inclined to agree.

Not even remotely. It's talking about the abominable practices of witchcraft, which you might see if you used a modern translation instead of trying to wade through 16th-century middle English. Perhaps you should stop assuming that most OT prophecies have yet to be fulfilled. Apology accepted...

Because of the awkward phrasing of your question, it is impossible to determine whether you think the rapture would be precious in God's sight. Instead of "Let us pray", how about "YOU explain"? No, it doesn't. You see a connection that I don't, and you are not spelling it out in plain...

Nah... disjointed comments are way more fun. :cool:

"The Gods Must Be Crazy". It was filmed in South Africa and Namibia, and starred a member of the San people, who are colloquially known as "Bushmen".

While that is a convenient correlation, the word "elohim" is also used of other entities. See my previous post. :)

"Elohim" has several meanings in the OT, one of which is "gods". Instead of throwing shade at the NIV, perhaps you should study the Hebrew of Psalm 82:1 and 6, and of 1 Samuel 28:11-14.

It's unfortunate that the source does not provide the definition it employed for "tithe" and "tithing". Without it, the stats are just numbers.

Only in your mind; it certainly isn't in the text of Scripture. And other offerings, which you have "conveniently" overlooked. Through voluntary offerings, not through mandatory tithes. More braying. Correlation... between OT voluntary offerings and NT voluntary offerings. Still more...

What vow?
