I'll publicly go on record and say there isn't anything that I sacrifice to God. If I fast tomorrow I'm really not giving up anything that God hasn't first given to me.

If that is the definition of "sacrifice," then no one ever sacrificed anything, ever.

Exactly. With all respect, Harley, it looks like you're actively changing the definition of words just to try to come off as uber-pious. If David, the man after God's own heart, could speak of offering sacrifices to God, and Sha'ul could call the Philippian's monitary gift a sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God (4:18), who are you to change the definition of "sacrifice" to say that they didn't sacrifice?
