A literal follow-on to the Old Testament would assert what you have asserted.

The New Testament is much freer. It is voluntary, not legalistic, and as the Holy Spirit prompts. Money is a handy medium for giving back to the Lord, but there are other mediums such as service or miscellaneous chattels.

I look askance at legalism. It can result in giving too little a blessing rather than too much.

PS - They still have a 13th floor, no matter what integer they assign to it.

It’s bad luck to be superstitious.

That’s Aliester Crowley’s jersey number.

If the DMV wanted to bestow upon me a license plate with 666 on it i would refuse it and get in the back of the line.

If they still refuse then just before the race she should flip it into # 999. Herman Cain would be proud.

How stupid are they in Kentucky?

Two words. Mitch McConnell

I am not that religious and I hate that number. Gives me the creeps.

A Kentucky High School Athletic Association spokesperson said that race officials would have granted Thacker’s request had they been made aware it was for religious reasons.

Sure they would.

I used to round 666 on spread sheets.

Just what did these idiots think her reason was?

Remember leftists only give you a choice when it comes to baby killing.

Good for her... obviously she was not interested in being an advert for Obamacare.

What a bunch of mindless superstition.

Does she think she’ll reach the pearly gates and be denied because of a number she wore for track?

my insurance co sent me a bill for that amount once and I insisted I pay a dollar more and I told them why

Over 30 years ago I was a cashier at Target, and was ringing up a customer; when the bill came up for $6.66 she turned white as sheet and ran away.

Seemed like a bit of an extreme reaction, to say the least!

When that happens to me it`s just a perfect excuse to get a candy bar.

I look askance at legalism.

I agree with you there. I'm a fan of conservative theologians but they often have a legalistic tendency. Sometimes, there is a fine line between obedience and legalism.
