1 | can i pay my tithes to my mother? | 2 Cor 9:7 | Morant61 | 109186 | ||
Greetings Paraclete! Your post was wrong on so many levels, it is difficult to decide where to start! :-) 1) Concerning Prayon! If I had to choose between you and Prayon to pray for me, I would choose Prayon anytime! Prayon is a dear sister in Christ and has demonstrated over time that she has both an excellent understanding of Scripture and a healthy relationship with Christ. Her answer was both Biblical and sound. While God certainly wants us to helps others, this does not take the place of our tithe. So, I would recommend that you not attack her simply because you don't agree with her. 2) Condemnation: Prayon did not condemn anyone in her post. But, you post is filled with condemnation of those who disagree with you. 3) Bible-bumping! I can't speak for anyone else, but I have never once bumped my Bible! :-) I assume you meant to type 'bible-thumping'. I have never really 'thumped' it either. But, I do believe what it says. To take something 'literally' is to simply take it in the way in which it was intended by the author. If a passage is poetry, one should read it as poetry. If a passage is a parable, one should read it as a parable. If a passage is an historical narrative, one should read it as an historical narrative. So, yes, the Bible can be both literal and symbolic. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | can i pay my tithes to my mother? | 2 Cor 9:7 | Taleb | 109195 | ||
Tim, may I echo what Colin honestly wrote about your postings? He said, "As I read them, your posts are consistently thoughtful, scriptural and to the point. You are also a patient man ..." Anyway, I always read the Proverb for the day of the month, along with five Psalms according to that day and adding 30, plus some OT and some NT. While reading "today's" Proverb 13, YOU popped into my mind when I read verse 16. "This IS Tim Moran!" I checked it out in numerous translations and they ALL "fit you". I particularly loved the ones from “Contemporary English Version” – “Losing your temper is foolish, ignoring an insult is smart”. And “The Jerusalem Bible” “Every man of discretion acts by the light of knowledge, the fool parades his folly.” Blessings upon you, Tim Taleb |
