The tithe existed to support the Levites as well as fund the work of God including helping the poor. It was given as a choice to be obedient to God. It was still the choice of the giver. God does not force charity. He wants it given freely by a heart seeking after him.
What do you think the tithe was if not a 10% flat tax?
Thinking about the Epstein files. Knee jerk reaction = "Trump is implicated"; however, that makes no sense. If Trump or any other promenant R were in it, that file would've leaked while D's were in control. Not sure what's going on but not jumping to conclusions that make 0 sense
I know exactly what it says. I am also intelligent enough to understand metaphor. Do you seriously believe that a person is required to be poor to get into heaven? And poor by whose standards then? How poor is poor enough to enter heaven?
Is it extremely difficult for a camel to go through a needle's eye? Or is it impossible? Come on, Michelle. You're being dishonest here. You don't know what the New Testament says and you're making excuses.
LOL you would assume wrong but, since you are stuck in your own idiotic assumptions, I am not surprised. I find it ironic that you bring up that example. Do you believe that wealth in and of itself means a person cannot have a relationship with God? Simple question.
Yes, it is an American Evangelical thing. You've literally never read anything else. You've probably even heard that made-up story about how the camel going through a needle's eye is a gate in Jerusalem. Right?
Being of high social status in & of itself does nothing. It is the heart that can easily fall away from God bc they feel no want/need. If someone of high status understands their need for God despite their status, they can have just as strong a relationship with God as the poor.
2. Being of high social status makes it much more difficult to have a good relationship with God. Cf the Story of the Rich Young Ruler.
1. My post reads as a defense of nothing. My post simply states that God does not care about social status. He cares about the heart. Prove me wrong.
1. 'God is not political'? Then how come yr whole post reads like a defence of American Conservative Christianity? More seriously, in OT God portrays himself as the defender of the defenceless. He gives instructions in the Torah how govts should rule (justly,not allowing too big+
And another coward. Misrepresents what I said, responds to something I didn't say and then blocks.
You don’t have one scripture to support your assertion ? How is God’s liberation of His people from oppression in Egypt and Lev 23:22 where caring for the poor being baked into the Law examples of Him “not giving a sh*t” about the poor or oppressed?
Cowards gonna reply and then block bc they can't handle a response 🤣😂
I’ve seen some bass ackwards interpretations of the Gospel but man, yours takes the cake.
So you’re saying lack of access to abortion has caused women to stop getting pregnant? Wouldn’t this just support the pro life argument of personal accountability? If women have suddenly stopped getting pregnant because the law changed wouldn’t it simply mean they always had the…
I didn't say he didn't. I am saying he didn't give a shit about social status. It was about your personal relationship with God. He was not some virtue signaling political figure rallying for the "oppressed" vs. the "powerful". You stain his name when you present him that way.
No one has a moral, legal, or ethical obligation to anyone but themselves and their family. Charity starts at home — and expands only when and if the individual chooses. Voluntary generosity is moral. Forced redistribution is not. It is neither ethical nor just to demand that…
BOMBSHELL!!!!! This is it! We Got Him!!! He’s on the brink! Worst Nightmare! A smoking gun! The last straw! The walls are closing in! Increasingly isolated! The final nail in Trump’s coffin! We've got him NOW! Tik-Tok! The end is nigh! Pass the #POPCORN! #ItsOver Just kidding.…
Reading your post gave me secondhand embarrassment so strong, I had to check if my IQ dropped from exposure. You really thought you did something with this fairy tale, didn’t you? Let me break it down, because clearly you skipped every civics, econ, and common sense class ever…
I keep hearing young men say, “They called me a fascist, so I became one.” That’s like getting called gay in school, getting mad about it, and then marrying a man to own the haters. If you became one, it’s not because they said it. It’s because they were right.
90% of the kids born in the Forties had parents who went through the Great Depression. Who is the moron that came up with this idiotic comparison?
Born in the 70s here.... Yeah, work harder. That's all we can do. Suck it up, work harder, save more. Buy assets that increase in value. Be smart. No one is giving you a trophy for showing up. You are not special. You don't automatically deserve anything.
We have lost Ozzy Osbourne. So sad but also, what a way to go out - living his life to the fullest, rocking the world to the very end. RIP Ozzy.
The real difference between Mamdani and Mohamed Atta? -one took flying lessons, the other hides his radicalism behind a tie and his parents money.
No honey, sorry. Brian Thompson did not walk up to anyone on the street and put a bullet in them but nice try.
You’re talking about Brian Thompson
