It’s just a number. Use it to your advantage.

That said surely the race administrators saw this coming.

Sorry, but this is just stupid... That poor dimwit refused to run for a freaking number? That’s God message? Don’t run with the number 666 on you back? C’mon, I surely how that if he exists, he cares more about how much love and care you have for your neighbor than what number is printed on you shirt! The Dark Ages are over people, let’s move on…

Another interesting thing I noted some months back is that the Old Testament Jewish tithing commandment was to set aside a personal stock of a tenth of one’s harvest, then later to throw a party to God with it. Literally. It wasn’t even the church donation model that we know today. It was simply to use it to exalt the Lord, while benefiting you too.

So the two don’t directly translate into one another. As one prospers more or less it would be more or less, and should be given with joy or cheerfulness (hilaros). Gratuitous sacrificial pain is not a requirement here. It would vary by individual circumstance. One shouldn’t give so much that one would end up not just with a broke wallet but an injured faith because one did it out of pride.

Ahem. The bible is still there. That did not go away “with the dark ages” as we may be tempted to condescendingly declare. And it definitely allows for different strengths of faith.
