"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?

With all respect, Harley, it looks like you're actively changing the definition of words just to try to come off as uber-pious.

Sacrifice
1) To offer as a sacrifice to a deity.
2) To forfeit (one thing) for another thing considered to be of greater value.
3) To sell or give away at a loss.

Which definition would you like to use?

There is nothing pious about it. God always supplies the lamb.
