Russia or China

[Raccoon1010]

Whether you back USA forces and their allies or the other guy's brand: Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Viet-Cong or some Central and South American areas or any other country with operatives trying to weaken the US and it's allies recently,

The fingers pointing at Trump Russian ties, or Biden Chinese ties, the fingers are pointing, but by who, and for what reason?

What about south American or central American ties like drug cartels?

And what shady business will be next and by whom? And was said business before the country had a falling out with the US trade allowance?

Sometimes someone does innocent business with some countries business men, women and something bad happens. Maybe while their still on good terms?

What do you know? Check the FBI files eh? Millions if not more documents to scan thru...

Food for thought.

 

[Raccoon1010]

What if Russia and China planned the Ukraine assault, what if their businesses had insider information, what if it was just good business and more to start war as they thought? Business run countries starting war? Money, mammon the root of all evil, or defending against attrocities and terrorists horrors the root of wars?

Really

Wow cares???

We should be looking to Jesus not getting bogged down in the foolishness of this world

John 14:1
Let not your heart be troubled

Luke 21:34
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Money, mammon the root of all evil

Money itself is not the root of all evil.

Go back and read what the scripture actually said about this

If money is evil, then you would be homeless living under a bridge someplace refusing to having anything to do with money and as such unable to buy anything at all because of the false belief that "money is the root of all evil"

Thanks for sharing bbj,

Money has not always been used. It is a token of value. The person, place or thing it is a token for actually contains the value: a person, place or thing.

In gambling, tokens are used in wagers. In sales and purchasing they are traded and credits to tokens or debits happen in at least two exchangers. Then the promised, person, place or thing are hopefully exchanged in real life. Especially in the recent case of hostigages in wars. Hopefully slave trading is gone now. A possible problem that can develop from money tokens are over and under value trades, where the token was not honored or given value it represents. Then people get hurt and/or angry, sad. I prefer anger myself. Anger, much like a good energy drink is a stress energy that can be used by God to do good. I like to model my own behavior after our lord. Peaceful and just.

The old bartering table sometimes comes up where the goods are on the tables. Honest discussion of man hours may be discussed in the value of said goods.

God is good, he has value. We should serve him, and buy of him gold tried in the fire. A mystery to us. But doing good as provided by God creates a pleasant society and that is no mystery.

Cheers,

Devin

Thanks for sharing bbj,

Did you ever go see what God's Word said about this?

A mystery to us.

Only to those who don't accept the whole counsel of God.

 

[Raccoon1010]

Wow cares???

Wow???

Only to those who don't accept the whole counsel of God.

Gold is Jesus' personal area of things he suffered for so that he has gifts for his children, as I don't want to go thru what he did, I will not elaborate in things so infinite that I look foolish to him. I know a fool can follow doing evil until they die, and God is good. We desire to do good in the holy spirit of God. We are also to be wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.

As far as council, which is being in trouble with God as a servant, I have this to say: Raca means 'of no value'. And saying someone is 'of no value', like murdering or killing, capital punishment, when later evidence points to someone else, warrants perhaps more than council.

A christian helping others, providing a good example before mankind and helping to bring people unto Christ and his father are of value and shows they value others.

Addressing the reader also...

Hopefully, if we see no value in others, ask God for forgiveness and work with others easier to love, until you have forgiven that person of appearing to have no value to you.

Jesus goes the farthest as the son of God to save us. He sees value.

People can get offended that is correct. Sometimes easily, sometimes it takes more offensive behavior.

Matthew 5

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

correct money itself is not the root of evil .
The love of money is the root of all evil . which that nar realm is in love with it big time as are scores of others .
But you are correct , money is but a means to a purchase , t ransaction .
If coin were evil
WHY would JESUS have said RENDER unto ceasar the things that be ceasars and unto GOD the things that are HIS .
HE would have said , see that coin , MONEY is evil , DONT use it .

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

I will not elaborate in things so infinite that I look foolish to him.

If God wanted to remain a "mystery" to mankind, He never would have had His Word put in to print for man to have access to.

The devil pushes the "we can never understand God" garbage to further entice people to believe his lies and never take time to study God's Word and be taught by The Teacher that God sent to lead and guide people in to ALL Truth

Jesus said the Holy Ghost would lead us in to ALL Truth (John 16:13),
and Jesus said God's Word IS Truth (John 17:17)

This is the problem with carnal man made religion, it's of the devil.

1 Corinthians 2:16 tells us that believers have access to the thoughts and understanding of Christ through the Holy Spirit, enabling them to comprehend spiritual truths and emphasizes the truth that Christians can think in alignment with Christ's perspective.

1 Corinthians 2:9-12
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Ephesians 1:16-19
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
knowledge of him:
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of
the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power

Good morning amigo,

Caesar was of an old Roman empire. They were not Christians. Caesar used money to harm the followers of God. It was money taxed from Israel as well. They were a conquering empire.

Paul traveled to Rome while God supplied miracles to gain followers of not only Israel but also Rome.

God does desire us to know God. That is a careful process operated by our lord Jesus.

We may be at some fallen or sinful state while here on earth. God gives parables to the wicked for a reason. He spoke plainly to his disciples at times. They were ready to receive him and his teachings.

We have all sinned. We enter the church of Christ and his father in spirit also. We are supposed to obey his commandments and become a spirit filled and directed people.

We become aware of God's good and loving spirit thru our hearts, which is a term for the body and spirit areas of the way we perceive good. God is good. We love God for his good heart and ways. We desire to do as he does as little children of God. Men among men, women among women, but little compared to God who is beyond years in wisdom and knowledge. We are humble and teachable so that we can hear God's teachings, from him, the scriptures and when we perceive his truths in others.

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

Who's "we"? Is that you and your religious buddies who are still living in sin?

We have all sinned.

Yes, in times past.

But true Christians are not currently living in sin.

It's the tares claiming they are still sinners claiming Christians can continue living in sin and still be saved.

@Raccoon1010

if you beleive such , then go and give all your money to the trash .
money aint the problem . THE LOVE OF IT , OH YEAH THAT BE A VERY WICKED PROBLEM .
but if you truly believe that money alone is evil , THEN hey dont live contrary to your faith , GET RID OF IT right now .
FOR he who does not do in faith , well that be damnation .
OF course i would advise you to pray about this first . I am sure you will see its not money that is the problem
BUT rather the LOVE OF IT . Any guesses as to why vatican city is so grand
and so is much of the protestant nar realm leaders so rich . OH yeah , THEY LOVE MONEY . and THAT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM .
so flee those . but before you burn your money , since to you MONEY alone is evil ,
MIGHT want to reconsider prayerfully .
Or i have an idea . Just send it to those in need . NOT INGREED , but in need .

Well while i do agree we should for sure and for certain give to the poor .
Just remember if i gave all my goods to the poor and had even my body to be burned but had NOT CHARITY
it would profit me NOTHING .
Guess what charity rejoices in , THE TRUTH , not in inquity .
SO as you already know
Ecumeincism , THOUGH IT NON STOP hollers love , BOY howdy its all in vain .
THEY have not charity , they preach non stop lies and sorry religious mumbo jumbo about how everyones
religion be a path to GOD . Ever g et the feeling a strong delusion has taken hold
that sure seems to be merging the DECIVED FALSE RELIGOINS with THE DECIEVED within CHRISTENDOM.
IT IS and IT HAS and its gonna get worse .

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

If a poor person is a drug addict or a drunk - should we give to them so they can do more drugs and get more drunk?

 

[amigo de christo]

not money . the only reason i sa ythat is , because they are still under bondage of addiction .
THEY will go and use money for such addictions . We can give those FOOD , water , blan kets
and etc . But i would not just give them money .

Quote from you:

Who's "we"? Is that you and your religious buddies who are still living in sin?

Hello B.B.J.,

I am not familiar with you. I do not know you and what "religion" or "group" you are affiliated with.

As I do not know the beliefs or doctrines you adhere to, I will refrain from stating to others "exactly" "who" you are, what you believe and what "worth" you have among us Christians. As always, you are well capable, I pray, of doing that yourself.

By degrading "me", and my "religious buddies"and insinuating "we are still living in sin", are you hoping to "hurt me" personally and cause anyone that is friendly to me to "not be my friend" and thereby isolate me from others? Or others from me. Dividing sheep from goats? ;)

I often call that the "don't vote for stupid" campaign. A sort of political mud slinging tactic.

With the pain and suffering we all go thru, especially us Christians, sometimes we can become callus and hardened in our hearts. Saying things to others we later will regret.

We all can use a bit of works meet for repentance, in deed, spoken word, and other ways humans can serve God.

Let me leave you with the fuits of the holy spirit against such there is no law:

---

Galatians 5

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

---

Knowing some are still new to Christianity and hopefully we are not acting like the USA republican and democrat hate speech, making a spectacle of eachother and/or themselves each accusing the other. Forcing investigations, and legal actions which actually may be necessary to uphold the laws we live with and enforce.

But, said accusations further dividing the US population. Hopefully not promoting anger, division, and acts of such against each other.

We are Christians, either democrat or republican. We are not criminals nor corruptors of God's laws. God welcomes all mankind to obey his laws and has blessings for all, some blessings un noticed. I hope for us to have charity towards others and I desire to worship him together with others.

For fun I would like to leave you all with a wonderful message written by our founding fore fathers.

Pledge of Allegiance:

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.",
