Manhandling????????????????????????????

You guys take way too much pride in yourselves I have heard better arguments given by folks who couldn't read. No wonder the school system is in the condition it is in.

However I do not think just the English was butchered. Go and learn what that means.

Don't worry, your confirmation was unnecessary for the obvious.

This the goofiest I have ever read Daniel should have said "knowledge shall decrease."

They lived in a agricultural society yes there was money but mostly barter and it worked and would work again today if the same society existed. Saints do the equvilent of that with money. I yet recieve tithes in garden stuff.

Coming from the man that blows smoke his own way commenting on carpets and all sorts of other back-patting comments...this is hilarious.

I know they don't teach going deeper into the Word at VBST ...

by what the hay ... I'll give it a try.

Once again we've allowed a word in the KJV to dictate doctrine.

The KJV used the word increase to deal specifically what the Hebrew writer meant as what comes out of the ground .... it is not income but product.

Keep in my mind not all that is produced is net income.

NASB says:
Deut: 14:22

"You shall surely tithe all the produce from what you sow, which comes out of the field every year.

or )Jr T)Jr (t Kl-TbW(t zr)j hYc( hJdh $nh $nh

The transliterated word is:

T@buw'ah

meaning:
produce, product, revenue

1. product, yield, crops (of the earth usually)

A computer analysis would pay tithes how???????

How about by fixing someone's computer -for free?

Of course, I do THAT already. All the time.

And my wife is a doctor so she is constantly getting calls for advice from every parent, aunt, uncle, cousin, 2nd cousin, nephew, niece, friend, in-law, and friend of any of the above.

We consider the above as part of a valid offering.

Haven't you understood that New Testament believers are not bound by tithing rules and regulations in the OT (modified rules, to make matters worse since you distort the actual OT version of tithing)....the New Testament Believer is involved in Spirit-led giving and against our kindness and goodness and faithfulness there is no law...

Here is a refresher, Elder: Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."

This is fun. Watching an old guy beat up on two young whipper-snappers.

Very thoughtful of you to give the man hope...false hope, nonetheless.
