Do You Give the Offerings That God Has Asked For?
Most people who give offerings at church give money. But according to the Word of God, in the Book of Exodus, God would also appreciate offerings of goat hair and yarn of scarlet & purple. Have you ever made such an offering? Do you think that if I got some goat hair & homespun, home dyed yarn from my friend who herds goat & sheep at her apple orchard, the church & God would be pleased? Thanks for your thoughts!
Exodus 35:4-6 "Moses said to the whole Israelite community, "This is what the LORD has commanded: 5 From what you have, take an offering for the LORD. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the LORD an offering of gold, silver and bronze; 6 blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair"
In Exodus, Moses used these to build the Tabernacle; just think what God could build now with all of our technology!

The Bible seems to say some silly things because it was written a long time ago by people who we no longer relate to very well. If your friend homespins yarn, make yourslef the warmest blanket, and wrap yourself in it. That is love.
I confess, the Bible is a mess of strangeness to me. And God is a vanishing enigma; here now, gone now. Enjoy the warmth of your friend, the sheep, and the creation, or the evolved world of love as your offering to yourself and your family. If there is a God, that must please God, for that would be what was created, not the book.
