I have engaged in conversation with many God fearing Christians about the way that tithing is practiced in today's churches. The question that I have repeatedly asked is "When did the tithe law change from something that was edible (corn, herd, grain, wine, etc.) to money? And is this change supported by biblical stripture?
I am under the opinion that the way that tithes is practiced today is man-made. For those that believe that this view is wrong, please show me where I am inaccurate (according to stripture).
If you would, please limit your views to tithing. At a later time, I would like to discuss offerings and Grace giving.

I have been reading some of the post for the past couple of weeks and don't understand why everyone seems to be fighting.
Isn't there a moderator on this site to try to tone down some of the hostility?

it's really not again, it's continuous. maddening to read, with all the other stuff he slings about.
and i really like this part: (had to remove all the code, too much)
It will never ever happen. I will come back again and again and again each time bringing more with me. You should be ashamed of yourselves acting like juveniles. Anyone who is worth their salt will avoid you. This is meant for the 7-10 delinquents who are constantly trying to stir crap up on this board.
bringing who? your cousinsisters or your top? are you like the borg? resistance is futile...
fabian, what's up with all the yelling and name calling? are you beginning to crack? you insist Smiling Joe goes back and reads his posts. you should do the same. talk about ostrazising one's self. you may learn a lot. then, God willing, you will leave here.

You mean you are trying to run interference for many people making sacrilegious comments. This is totally :angry: unacceptable behavior and should not be going on.
It is my belief this is still the Bible belt and many would like to know what kind of person they are buying real estate from.
Kurt you have stood by and done nothing to the friends of yours who have hijacked this message board and I will let you know that my beliefs in this area are not the minority.

I took your advice and read back through all of the posts in here, and I am changing my mind about you 2bfabian. At first, I thought you were well liked on here but just figured that most people kept to themselves and we were seeing the vocal minority. After re-reading the posts, I have come to the conclusion that maybe I was to horsh on some of these people just because they don't share my view point on religion. I apologize to everyone, and want you to know that I am no longer going to post my personal opinions as the Gospel, because you are smart enough to make up your own minds about your own life. Peace to you all. Reading back through this, we all look a little hard-headed and stubborn, but we are just defending our own thoughts. Stand up for what you believe, that is my thought. I am going to try and be a more open-minded person because of what some of you have taught me. I've been having some personal problems and they just bled out on your board, and I am sorry. Thank you for your comments and understanding. Peace to you all.

JohnRudy I find you to have always been nice to everyone on this message board and for that I am grateful but on this issue I believe Kurt is not doing the right thing.
This is not good PR for any of them and they know this. All they had to do is go off and leave those who chose to speak about issues that were relevant to this area alone.
They are bullies and feel they can get away with this kind of behavior continuous and when someone calls them on it Kurt runs over and says oh we can't talk negative on this message board. He needs to do his Job or stay out of it all together. He needs to be consistent.
Kurt read your pm and them write me back. This is not the way SoWal Message board wants to be viewed.

Hah! Maybe you forgot that this is website is owned by Kurt, not anyone else, and he can do what ever he pleases. If you want your own board, go start it up. Panama City Beach has a bulletin board with the same format. Perhaps that will be closer to home for you, too.

acting out-This is the process of expressing unconscious emotional conflicts or feelings via actions rather than words. The person is not consciously aware of the meaning or etiology of such acts. Acting out may be harmful or, in controlled situations, therapeutic (e.g., children's play therapy).

I'm no Biblical scholar, but weren't grain, goats, sheep, etc, basically traded in those times just as they were money? In some places, they still are.
Hey, emc321, is this the quote by me that you suggest to be as sacrilegous?
