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.

Just tell me how you could expect anyone to ever by real estate from you after some of the things you have said on this message board.?

Don't think everyone thinks like you and your few friends

You clearly stated that I have made sacrilegious comments on here and I am still awaiting your discovery of such posts made by me. Please report back to us with your findings. If you do not reply back with such findings, I guess we will see that you just like to think that you read things which are not there. Also, I certainly hope that not everyone thinks like me. -- The world would be very boring.

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.
Oh, I am thinking about that.
My question is does he need the sort of PR that you and your close friends are giving him?
When I leave and that when I am ready I see your numbers dropping like a burnt out star. And He knows that and so do you. Y'all would sit there and try to think of something interesting to write but you just kept coming up cold and boring the heck out of everyone.
How many people logged on Kurt just to read what I was doing I was great for business but someone's buddies started getting out of hand with some of the anti Catholic rhetoric so you thought I'll get 2b. It was not me saying the things that many families would have a problem with it was your friends.
Everything that has been said is out there on the Internet. Everything
Why oh why, are you all so angry?

Joe, I am just not interested in wasting much more time on you or your friends. 17,000 post what a life you have had over the last couple of years.
What do you say lets just not keep in touch.

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.
For some reason, this comes to mind.
You obviously ignored this part of the forum title, "Environmental, Political, Social Issues -- Local education and issues about the beaches, the bay, and in between - coastal dune lakes, wetlands, dunes, weather, flora & fauna."
If what you have to say doesn't fit the forum header, you should post it in the Lounge, where almost anything belongs.
Allow me to begin with this: This website is primary about SoWal and the surrounding area. Everything else belongs in the Lounge as clearly stated in the Forum title in which this thread was started. "Local education and issues about the beaches, the bay, and in between - coastal dune lakes, wetlands, dunes, weather, flora & fauna." If we want to read the national editorials, we would go to a news website or pick up a newspaper. My post which you quoted, above, is simply explaining that to you since you are new to this message board. In that post, I never used such harsh words regarding you, unlike you did to me throughout your entire post. You obviously don't like to follow Kurt's basic rules and this post of yours might be enough to get you banned forever. My simple advice to you is that if you don't like this website, please go to the panama city beach one, and see if they will let you in over there. I hear that they are a little more particular about who they let in, but it would be worth a try. For someone who repeatedly stated that you just want everyone to get along, you sure aren't making that an easy chore. Me? a Wanabe Socialite? Not true. I try to avoid all of that hoopla, but sometimes, I cannot help myself.
has anyone done a google image search on "2bfabian?" Check out the top three hits. 8)
Go to Google.com In the search bar, type in with quotes: "2bfabian" click on the word, "images," located above the search bar.
If you have to ask, you don't want to know. Trust us.
duh. You know it is.

Hey, emc321, is this the quote by me that you suggest to be as sacrilegous?

To help you out, emc321, above, I have posted all of my posts from this thread and ask you to point out which of these posts is sacrilegious? You should say that people are sacrilegious without having substantial proof to back you up. That could be grounds for being deleted from some websites. You should be glad that Kurt is a nice guy. He has already warned several of your other personalities. Be careful what you say about other people on the internet.

Good grief. Who loves to preach the virtues of Christianity with self-righteous indignation and then turns around and delivers vulgarity and personal attacks? Who initially says they are here to "provoke" discussions but merely argues with nonsensical ramblings and starts only controversial threads then falls on the cross and cries sacrilege because they are sooo offended?
I'll tell you who. A fraud, plain and simple. I said this weeks ago. The kind of person who starts a thread and posts multiple times they are pro-gay and then turn around and are suddenly against it. They believe in nothing but the bully pulpit and are a habitual contrarian. A true Christian of faith, peace and love would never act as such, certainly not while trying to show others the folly of their "misguided beliefs."
I'd bet pesos to pounds this message board isn't the only place they find themselves in arguments with basically everything. For that matter, I'm sure this isn't the only message board they haunt. Nobody would speak that way to another person's face. At least, nobody with any teeth left.
I don't believe Christian beliefs are the catalyst of this recent frenzy of craziness any more than they are truly offended by any of these posts. Because, by default, someone who has said the things they have isn't technically capable of being offended in a Christian way.
Ridiculous.
edit: I guess most have been banned for now. Let's get back to the funn!

This is crazy!
I just have to say that I did respond to this thread when it was "serious" but quickly realized that the originator was Loco and I thought I'd let the subject drop. ANYWAY . . . Something kind of funny is that I have a Sowaller friends who said she really enjoyed reading this thread because the originator was so polite and the subject was so thought provoking. She commented that it was nice to read a thread that was so civil. Little did she know that this would become the Mother of All Dysfunctional Meltdown Threads. Just goes to show that you can't judge a thread by its title.
