Some ministers who are accused of being "con-men" really are not.

Psalms 118:25 specifically uses the word "prosperity".

Even Paul told of how his daily living amounted to "feast or famine" (Philippians 4:12-13). Nevertheless, in my own life, I have made Proverbs 30:7-9 my prayer in contrast to what Paul wrote there; because I came across it before I saw what was written there.

Also, was it wrong for Mary of Bethany to worship Jesus extravagantly by rendering her wealth to Him in pouring the oil/perfume on his head and/or feet? Was Jesus wrong to have his daily needs met by certain women who followed Him? Is it necessarily a sin for a minister to not live in abject...

@CoreIssue, I am wondering what is your take on Psalms 118:25?

Yes; I hope that you understand that I have qualified my statements.

@bbyrd009, I think that your last post tells me that your doctrine is contrary to the doctrine that I have learned in solid Christianity. So I am going to put you on my ignore list in obedience to Romans 16:17.

Even Paul the apostle confessed that he "robbed other churches" (2 Corinthians 11:8). Of course, when it is done to excess and for the sake of fleecing the flock so that the minister can become rich (and that is his motivation), it amounts to what is spoken of in 2 Peter 2:1-3. But if their...

And yet scripture tells us not to despise prophecies; and implies that to do so is to be quenching the Spirit. If you would open your eyes and see more clearly, you would know that all of scripture applies to us today. Because if it doesn't, then we can pick and choose what scriptures we count...

Ezekiel 18:20, does not say, specifically, what you said in the first quote above. The father cannot die for the son, and the son cannot die for the father; this is not to say that Jesus cannot die for the sins of the world. For if it did mean that, then the scripture would be contradicting...

Are you referring to Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21 or some other scripture?

So then, all of scripture doesn't apply to us today? How do we determine which scripture applies and which scripture doesn't apply (today)? I can take any scripture and say that Paul was talking only to his present audience; and therefore it doesn't apply to me. I can pick and choose which...

May I ask what is your scripture reference on this? maybe quote it verbatim also, so that we can see whether it says what you say it says.

It (Genesis 3:15) technically wasn't a covenant; but it was a promise of Messiah, which can be construed as being like a covenant from a certain perspective.

Neither was the Mosaic covenant for salvation.

Therefore the New Covenant, spoken of in Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:4, and Romans 8:7; also Romans 5:5 with Romans 13:8-10 & 1 John 5:3 & 2 John 1:6 (being the New Testament); Is a covenant that applies to Gentiles and not just Jews. Therefore, as New Covenant Gentiles, we can and...

Indeed, God isn't a respecter of persons. Colossians 3:25.

The point being that the New Covenant is not only for the Jewish people...Ephesians 3:6. There were actually quite a few covenants before the Mosaic one. The Abrahamic Covenant, the Noahic Covenant, even the Adamic Covenant in Genesis 3:15

The questions that I posed in post #86... link: For those who don't believe in prophets today....explain this

Some circumstances are operated by the "other guy". And these mix with God's operations to create operations that are basically neutral...which amount to random happenings...see Ecclesiastes 9:11.
