Perhaps you're unfamiliar with 2 Corinthians 9:7 "Each one must do just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. " In other words, it is indeed within the will of God that we decide what and when we give. When you find the Scripture...

You might unconfuse yourself by reading Bible passages in their appropriate context. Malachi was not written to Christians.

Clearly you don't understand the Christian's relationship to the Law. Either we are under the Law, or we are not. There is no middle ground. If you want to be under the Law, you go right ahead, but bear these verses in mind: Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a...

Perhaps I'm not understanding you; I don't see anything in the Law that suggests tithing was optional (rather than required) and I don't see anything in the NT suggesting that it is to be continued in any form.

And I encourage you to stone your neighbours for committing adultery. You are either under the whole law or none of it. In Christ, we are not under the law. Malachi was written to those who were under the law.

Actually, Jacob only promised. There is no evidence in Scripture that he (personally) ever fulfilled that promise. Nothing "carried over into the Law". There was no command to tithe prior to Moses. There actually is a reason why it shouldn't carry over after the Law: Christians are not under...

According to Scripture, tithing is NOT giving, and giving is NOT tithing. There is no requirement in Scripture for Christians to "tithe"... period. There is no encouragement in Scripture for Christians to "tithe"... period. Tithing is giving the tenth (fractional or ordinal) portion of your...

More slander, and more evidence of the sickness in your soul. You would do well to sort out your c**p with Jesus instead of displaying it online for the world to see.

Great testimony... thanks! I appreciate you stating the bolded point above. So many Christians either believe that we are required to pay tithes, or use the term loosely to mean 'giving' and inadvertently mis-teach newer believers. After getting into financial distress under a legalistic...

Near PE. My uncle and aunt have a farm there. One day I hope to visit.

Welcome to CC! There is a handful of folks here from ZA; I have family there. I hope this site is a blessing to you. :)

This can explain some observations of the the rise and fall above the horizon. It fails completely to explain how the sun begins to rise from completely below the horizon and finishes setting completely below the horizon.

The water of baptism.

All the aliens stopped in Canada... they were smart enough to get this far, and too smart to go farther.

If you don't want to argue about translations, then don't poke the bear. By the way, you know absolutely nothing about me. Don't be a jackdonkey by assuming anything.

Yawn.

Do you believe that it is wrong to be paid for your work? The Bible says otherwise: Jeremiah 22:13 “Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness, And his upstairs rooms without justice, Who uses his neighbor’s services without pay And does not give him his wages ," Malachi 3:5 “Then I...

That is just evidence of the darkness in your heart. The word of God shows you to be wrong, so you 'disagree'. You're sick, man, and you need help.

He came for many purposes besides just saving people from their sins. 1 John 3:8b The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly. Luke...

You are certainly free to leave if you choose. Let me encourage you to stay. There is a need for people who challenge the self-made theologians, either to help them or, in this case, to resist their errors.
