    Tithe...NOT a christian doctrine

    That's pretty much what I get from the texts when I read them. As much as I've tried, I can't find the continuity in the teachings of those who instruct that the tithing requirement is still for today. Those who teach that must perform all manner of intellectual gymnastics in order to violate...

    Tithe...NOT a christian doctrine

    I hope you don't mind if I refuse to engage in ad hominem bantering with you..... Yes. He was speaking to a man at a time when all the Israelites were still under the Law. Ok. I get that. Those who owned producing lands, herds and flocks handed over a tithe of those very items from the...

God created one wife for Adam and that is the natural example for all of us to bare in mind. Are you sure that such a singular exists...

    Polygamy?

    (kriss;7604) I agree with you Lionroot but persucution doesn't mean you are to break the law. If every person that thinks they are being persecuted broke the law there would be chaos and no laws. This is nothing short of poisoning the well with extremes. This line of reasoning leads to...

    Who are the ‘Sons of God’

    kriss wrote in post #2: that the sin was polygamy.’ It was the same type of sin that the Cainite Lamech practiced, the sin of polygamy, particularly as it came to expression in the harem, the characteristic institution of the ancient oriental despot’s court. You believe that polygamy was a...
