The context of the verse. Genesis 4:4 KJV And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: He brought the firstlings of his flock. He also brought the fat there of. The "there of" is talking about the...

I must disagree. First off, H. Richard is talking about the gentile Church. He is correct in stating it came to be under Paul. I believe the seed had been planted by Jesus. During his ministry they were still under the law and observed it. But Jesus started talking about faith more and...

I got the point, I just don't agree with it.

I understand that fat was separated... Still, the context of Gen 4 suggests as I said. Abel chose the fat (best) of his flock. The verse isn't talking about separating the fat frothe lean.

Tithing was instituted by Abraham which is before the Law. Now Gal 3:17 says that promises made before the law are not disannuled by the Law. It's all a moot point because the new requirement on giving is found in 2 Cor 9:7 which says give as you have purposeth in your heart. Just don't do it...

Not everyone in the OT was a farmer and there were plenty of times people gave money. I imagine the are crooked preachers who "demand" a tenth of your income, but probably most who talk about tithes simply ask for it and preach about it. So if we aren't farmers are we not supposed to give...

But it doesn't say that.

I don't think that's what it means. The verse says Abel brought the firstlings of his flock and the fat there of. The "fat therof" refers to the fat of the flock.... Meaning the best and healthiest animals.

I've tried to leave this alone, but I can't. The Bible doesn't say God killed an animal for their hide. It's says God made coats of skin. That's it. It doesn't says any animals were harmed and it doesn't even say they were animals skins. If they were animal skins, if God made the animals, he...

Neither am I. I put scripture as the prime source though. I am proud Church too. In that I mean folks ought to gather under leadership and organization. I do too. I just don't believe it means a H2O baptism, though I am not against it. Ok.. I am not. I like the tradition the apostles...

That's a really sad way to look at a forum, but it's true.

Jesus and his Apostles have a profound influence on my spiritual and earthly life. I strive to make every spiritual and earthly move I make based on what the said. But what about the rest? Who has influenced you for better or worse? 1. My Pastor... All for the better. He has taught me so...

I've heard that too, but I disagree. It's a pretty deep subject as to why, so I am not going to go into it. But let me say that if it is true, humans didn't do it. God did, and thus, Cain and Abel were still the first men to do it. I certainly think so. I think it has alot to do with it...

My answer is along the lines of others... Yes I believe a blood sacrifice vs. the labor of Cain's hands may have had something to do with it. But also the quality of each sacrifice. Genesis 4:3-4 KJV And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an...

Absolutely. Just give glory to Him in all things, even if you have the scars.

Humility and being humble in a true sense is only achieved by being humble to His word. You can be a brat and a stickler about it according to men, but if you stick to God's Word, he sees you as humble. No. Confidence and strength, yes. Happiness in what He says, yes. Not pride.

Wasn't in the message then. I wasn't thinking about being a Christian when I got it

Well, ok.. Malachi 1:3 KJV And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. This verse says he hated Esau. Let's skip up to Romans 9. Romans 9:13 KJV As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Folks love to dive into...

Really want my opinion on Malachi? I agree with everything he said... But there are things I would hilight that would anger some.
