More New Age codswollop. None of the translations calls Eve ‘the mother of all living spirits’. Nothing in Scripture talks about ‘knowledge from the Tree of Life’ forming ‘righteous intentions’. You might be quoting Scripture, but you clearly don’t understand it.

Some? No. ALL.

Um… no. Not at all. Where did you get that idea?

This is New Age hogwash, not biblical Christianity.

Okay, I'll grant that.

While the intent of it is valid, your "garden of Eden" story is replete with error. Genesis 3 is not actually saying what you think it is saying.

Yes, He does, and only He does. That's awkwardly worded, and not found in Scripture as such. We weren't given the choice. There is nothing in Scripture to suggest that we were. "Pass" judgment day? We are indeed spared eternal condemnation through Christ, but it seems that you're reading some...

Huh? Jesus is the seed referred to in Genesis 3:15, but He isn't "reborn". I'm not sure where you got that idea. Um, no; Jesus crushed the head of the serpent already. We don't need to do so. We do indeed overcome slavery to sin through Christ. Correct. Again, no. There is...

Maria and Captain Von Trapp (The Sound of Music)... even though Maria had a Karen haircut.

There is another current thread on the topic, titled "What is your motivation for tithing?". Much of the relevant information has already been shared there. The short answer to your question is No, because Christians are not required to "tithe". :)

And maybe Revelation 8 is both metaphorical and localized.

And so you attack others by your implications. Blain is a humble seeker of biblical wisdom, and I will attest to the fact that he has not rejected the Word of God. You are confused. If I wanted to attack any of those you listed, I would do so, and there would be no confusion about it. I haven't...

Unless, of course, Joel 2:30 was fulfilled already. ;)

Generally, we agree. I think it is better to plan one's giving at some consistent level, and to give occasionally on top of that. I also agree that one's giving should increase as one's income increases, though not necessarily in the same proportion. I simply reject the use of the term "tithing"...

I suspect that there isn't a single person who says they believe in tithing who actually does so. That's because it is utterly impossible to tithe according to the Law as there is no tabernacle, no temple, and no priesthood. Further, even those who claim to be doing so by giving 10% of their...

"God called the firmament Heaven", so it is impossible to have a conversation about the firmament and not have it about heaven. Not in Scripture there aren't. Only, that doesn't limit which 'heaven' you are discussing; see my first point above. No, it doesn't. That's a non sequitur. Nothing...

And they even ferment into some wonderful stuff. ;)

I thought the punchline would be "... and a shovel."

Which says absolutely nothing about the alcohol content of the ensuing wine.

Aaron56 must have me on Ignore, as he clearly hasn't read my posts undoing his position.
