Christian churches generally advocate tithing about 10 percent of one's annual income each year."<br /><br />You haven't become any more generous since then.<br /><br />CHRISTIANS, YOU OWE THE LORD $198 BILLION!!! If you're broke because of our economic downturn, maybe you should learn who's behind it. It's been their agenda for LITERALLY centuries:<br /><br />http://talmudunmasked.com<br />http://tinyurl.com/100777.com/protocols<br />http://tinyurl.com/JewsFoundedCommunismPeriod<br />http://tinyurl.com/JewsAmericasWorstEnemiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-46819141921924117512012-05-13T16:57:32.001-06:002012-05-13T16:57:32.001-06:00True, it's not biblical.

But as you note, while the Spanish Jesuit Francisco Suarez and the Dutch Protestant Hugo Grotius were arguing that natural law doesn't require God, the Anglo-Americans were putting Him back in!<br /><br />http://americancreation.blogspot.com/2009/04/primer-on-natural-law.html<br /><br />In fact, natural law has always been the alternate way to argue the same truths without appealing to the authority of the Bible.<br /><br />"The law of nature and the law of revelation are both Divine: they flow, though in different channels, from the same adorable source. It is indeed preposterous to separate them from each other."<br />---James Wilson, Of the Law of Nature, 1804<br /><br />[Wilson was one of the few signers of both the D of I and the Constitution, and was later a Supreme Court justice.]Tom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-79704766104744862482012-05-13T16:17:53.763-06:002012-05-13T16:17:53.763-06:00Yeah the authors would argue TFR is not biblical.Yeah the authors would argue TFR is not biblical.Jonathan Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079637406589278386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-45979367879491463192012-05-13T15:44:59.426-06:002012-05-13T15:44:59.426-06:00Good and wise men, in all ages, have embraced a ve...Good and wise men, in all ages, have embraced a very dissimilar theory. They have supposed, that the deity, from the relations, we stand in, to himself and to each other, has constituted an eternal and immutable law, which is, indispensibly, obligatory upon all mankind, prior to any human institution whatever.<br /><br />This is what is called the law of nature, “which, being coeval with mankind, and dictated by God himself, is, of course, superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times. No human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid, derive all their authority, mediately, or immediately, from this original.” Blackstone.<br /><br />Upon this law, depend the natural rights of mankind, the supreme being gave existence to man, together with the means of preserving and beatifying that existence. He endowed him with rational faculties, by the help of which, to discern and pursue such things, as were consistent with his duty and interest, and invested him with an inviolable right to personal liberty, and personal safety.<br /><br />—Alexander Hamilton, The Farmer RefutedTom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.com
