So they build a big house with it and hired carpenters? And then they forgot to buy themselves a horse carriage to go to Jerusalem and walked? So foolish. Don't you think?
I think your answer is foolish because it doesn't address the question and dumps a lot of smirk out as a smokescreen. (Your milk has gone sour.) Why would Jesus, having wealth, waste in such a manner? That you think this way tells me a LOT about you. Imputing evil to anyone with money who doesn't give it to you.
Nope. I heard from God they were poor. So I know they were poor. But you "think" they were wealthy. But you didn't give any evidence to that?
So you "heard from God"... while I provided scripture. It figures that you would listen to the little voices in your head first.
So John was also wealthy? interesting. Can you tell us more about his wealth? And why he ate from the "wild" and not from and expensive Inn?
These are the kinds of questions that come from those who reject study... any study: history, politics, theology. You're not asking to understand. The smirk stinks throughout your post.
Why would people travel from Jerusalem all the way to where John was baptizing in the Jordon? Maybe your little daddy voice could give you a clue about that too. Let me know.
And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
- Mark 1:5 KJV
And why did John tB get the impression that people thought he was mighty anyway? Was he wrong?
And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me,
- Mark 1:7 KJV
Most Protestant think John tB was a just crazy homeless preacher eating bugs, having no clue that he was a Messiah.
So Jesus was a wealthy man and gave nobody from his wealth?
Straw man. To answer is a waste of time.
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
- 2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV
And of course he lied about not having a "place for his head".
Again, a question that arises from a lack of wisdom. Here, Jesus addresses the innate desire of a human to belong. Jesus had no place where he belonged. He was not of the Temple Priests, he was not of the Pharisees, Sadducees, or Essenes. He was not of the scribes. He wasn't even Jewish within the context of the various
divisions of Judaism at the time. If anything, he is closest to the Karaite Jews of today.
And of course Peter lied. Because He was actually also wealthy?
More smirk nonsense. You should look in the mirror and rebuke yourself.
And what is worse. Our "Abba Father/Daddy, Jehovah" is telling us to be "content" with only food and raiment when He Himself could not be? Such "hypocrisy".
No. Paul is telling you that. But one would truly need discernment to see the big picture.
So I assume you are also wealthy and enjoying what your "god mammon" can buy for you?
Well you're certainly making an ass of yourself, so keep up the good work. I KNOW you have no idea what the word mammon means. Care to prove me wrong?
They never went bankrupt but was honored by all.
More wind out of the wrong end. Your claim, so prove it.
By the time of Acts chapter fifteen, James, the brother of Jesus, took over the church and sandbagged Peter. But... guess your little daddy voice didn't tell you about that either.
So what did He tell you about
this situation?
And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
- Acts 21:18-20 KJV
Don't worry. Consider the question Rhetorical, as I don't think you're qualified to answer.
Seems you should read again and give us the reason Paul gave there. Seems your "blindness" can not see it and we have to rub your nose in it now?
Communism always leads to bankruptcy. And the irrational religious enthusiasm in Jerusalem did the same to those very early believers. You think to rub my nose in it? What a hateful, delusional person you are.
(Oh, I forgot, ... you're God and Jesus' Mommy.)
but by equality, at the present time your abundance—for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality,
- 2 Corinthians 8:14 YLT
THEIR
WANT. Like I said, they went bankrupt. How do you think they got that way, having want? All those 3,000 who joined on the Day of Pentecost were fired from their job? I am truly sorry that you're unable to think this through. The economic system engendered by the initial irrational religious enthusiasm in Acts 2 fell apart. Paul tried to fix this.
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
- 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 KJV
So what work do you do? What job do you have? Enough so that you can eat of your own bread? Because of all I've read from what
you've published, your behaviour seems to nicely fit that of "busybody." You know, liking to "rub people's nose in it."
Yep. Harsh Words. For the "stingy wealthy"
And yet those words were not directed to the "stingy wealthy" and anyone who makes that delusional conclusion has serious cognitive impairment. It was directed to the one who received welfare money from the church. Try reading it again.
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
- 1 Timothy 5:8 KJV
But I understand. You knowing within yourself to be guilty of this sin MUST protest and find fault in others, so that you can place yourself on a pedestal. It's all too common with your type of NPD. Where your words need to declare that you are better than all others. (Why else do you rebuke so quickly and with such ease?)
So let me "rub your nose in it", Brother. Because that might be the only way you meet with these very important Words of "earnest care" which is for the sake of "equality". Nothing else.
2 Cor. 8:
So convenient, isn't it, that you omitted this verse:
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
- 2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV
Jesus was rich. Paul himself said so. He came from a wealthy royal family. But your little daddy voice told you differently.
It gave me the Huge opportunity to "rub everyone's nose in Love". To end their selfishness. Harsh Words, Brother? All who are wealthy and didn't enter Equality to get rid of the "wealthy" are a "woe".
More delusional than ever to think that's what you're doing. You entire MO is just another NPD trying to save his own ego - at the expense of others.
And, no, I am not your Brother. I have no part with those whose words and deeds are described by scripture as that of an infidel.
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
- 2 Corinthians 6:15 KJV
So can you pls. send us a pic of your house and car, Brother? Or is the disgrace of your wealth to big?
Keep it up. You merely prove that you are none of His, being clueless without measure.
Ex Cathedra,
