People just choose to misunderstand. I am not about to answer to every little point. My view was in my own post. I do believe, however, that God does desire to prosper us. His people in the past have been the ones given wealth. Rather than keep to such a narrow view concerning monetary wealth, I choose to express how God wants us all to prosper in every area as His people on earth. It is His desire and pleasure.

I find it VERY interesting that you are never one of the people who misunderstands but constantly accuse people of misunderstanding..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was agreeing with that. I also find absolutely nothing wrong in the first post. Did you know that the Bible has more scriptures on money than it does on love? True. Not it doesn't. There are aprox. 2,000 verses on poverty, 340 verses dealing directly with love, and only about 140 verses dealing directly with money. In these, the ones on poverty only about 10 deal with those in poverty in a negative way...the rest admonish us to take care of them. In money, only about 20 deal with us having money, the rest tell us to avoid seeking after it. Oy! You count fast! Thanks for that. It seems that the broader term of poverty concerns money--so the little factoid is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the verses on poverty is speaks how it is better to be poor than rich, how we are to help those who are in poverty, how we should desire after poverty if we have haughty attitudes, etc. Nice try, but you failed.

Scripture says time and time again that the Lazy man is cursed, and that one who does not provide for his family is worse than an infidel. "But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel." 1 Timothy 5:8 This in reference to lazy men who let their families starve, not disabled people btw. In Texas, we have a system where someone doesn't get paid until the Job is done... but this is like in small towns where corporate law doesn't overrule common sense. IF you don't do the work required of you to get paid, why should you be paid? Lol Shalom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice try yourself. Scriptures on poverty still pertain to money or the lack of it. Why are you so eager to hammer people? Talk about haughty!

There's the floatingaxe we all know and love....if she can't argue against it she attacks the person instead! It still disproves your original point in trying to say that money (in a positive connotation) is mentioned more than love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verses containing the word: love = 342 money = 25 poverty = 19 wealth = 41 Seems like monetarily themed verses total 85, whereas love themed verses total 342.

Definately get the point, but you may want to redo that search...there are over 50 references to poverty in Proverbs alone (I believe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I choose to believe it...I never made it up, either. I don't attack--I defend. Get the point? Now I am going out for a game of Uno and chocolate pie--far more important. Toodles.
