What is my religious affiliation?
I am Jewish by birth (this is not the religious affiliation), Christian by faith (this is the religious affiliation). Very simple.

What does “freedom of the glory of the children of God” mean (Romans 8:21)? I would have to disagree. We might think of "corruption" today in the sense of "corrupt cops" or "corrupt politicians" (for example), but it didn't possess that sense in the 1st century Jew's (e.g., Paul) vocabulary. It essentially meant "mortality," as opposed to "immortality" which is often seen in conjunction with "incorruption" (cp. 1 Cor. 15:42, 15:52-54). Paul is basically saying that he desires to be immortal. That occurs upon "the redemption of the body" (Rom. 8:23), i.e. the resurrection of the dead. |

What does “freedom of the glory of the children of God” mean (Romans 8:21)? @MonicaCellio: Not really. See Mark 9:47: τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρὸς. This is literally, "the Gehenna of the fire," though it is understood as the attributive genitive, "the fiery Gehenna." Likewise, Rom. 8:21: τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης, literally, "the liberty of the glory," which is understood as, "the glorious liberty." |

Did Jesus endorse tithing for all when addressing the Pharisees? We are a spiritual temple. Tithing (e.g., the bringing of the firstfruits of one's produce to the Temple) was a carnal matter. |

Interpretations of Elihu in Job @Blessed: Elihu means "He is my God." El = God; Eli = my God; hu = he. |
