What is your method for finding definitions of biblical words? For example, the difference between "accursed" and "cursed" and the difference between "lucre" and "money". I have a Strong's concordance and also Webster's 1828. I don't think that going back to the original Hebrew and Greek is necessary. I know that the English of the KJV is correct; but, sometimes, isn't getting to the "root" of the word necessary?
I tithe from my gross. Since I started to tithe, my financial miracles have been varied but evident, what lacks was provided for. But in July and August 05, it's not been easy. I have tithed and given more, but time is running out on me, I haven't been able to pay rent. As I still wait for the Lord, tell me is it strange?
Please explain Grace. What is grace? What does grace do for me?
I'm having a discussion with a friend about who gets blessings from God. She says God blesses everyone. I say God blesses the one who has faith and seeks him. Who does God Bless?
Please distinguish the terms "vow", "oath", "swear" and "pledge." Some of these are interchangeable and some are referred to in the bible as totally different from each other. I'm specifically interested in what Jesus meant in Matthew 5:33-37 and how that applies to nowadays "pledging" for a building fund or other church projects.
