Well, the fact that you subscribe to the doctrines of the RCC is a bit of a worry then….
The trinity…immortal souls….and hellfire….are all Catholic doctrines…not biblical at all, just grafted over certain ambiguous or misunderstood verses.

None are taught be Jesus.
“God is one” not three….(Deut 6:4)…..there is no mention of immortal souls that go anywhere at death….(Eccl 9:5, 10) and hellfire is based on “Gehenna”, (Mark 9:47-48; Matt 23:33) which, if you do some research is not a place of conscious torment at all….it was Jerusalem’s garbage dump where bodies were cast if the person was not considered worthy of a decent burial. It signified no resurrection. Eternal death.

Time for a rethink perhaps?
When you read what i wrote feel free to ask any and all questions you like .
But what i say to you i say to everyone
WE HAVE A HARLOT and she DO sit over many waters . SHE has control and the love of even men in high places .
politicans do her work and her bidding .
Many now , almost all mainstream churches are DONE and under her spell to some degree . SOME worse than ot hers
BUT she has influenced them and worse and worse will they get .
SHE GOT ya watch t ower too .
Better watch out .
She got the whole of the mormon realm . BETTER watch out . course the mormon religoin is deadly .
But she has them too .
She has the imams now bending to her will and to the cry of what she calls god and calleth love .
SHE has been busy .
Oh and she has more daughter harlots who do her bidding than a man can count .
WE have BEEN infiltrated . she been busy . so heed not a w hores love .

jus dont forget the fact that satan sure can and sure do lie .
And that he will come in as though he desires only the best for you , but oh do he lie .
HE can even say GOD is love and yet he and his many co workers
preach CONTRARY to even the gospel now as well as through their version of love
and of what they beleive is GOD , they lead this people into UPMOST rebellion against
THE ONLY TRUE GOD and HIS CHRIST JESUS that could have saved them .
THEY , through the love of darkness have led this people into outright hatred of even scriptures
the very words of GOD . SO much for that love . it cant save them , IT WILL ONLY destroy them .
BUT HEY satan dont love now does he . but he sure can pretend he do . watch out everyone
Watch out . ITS bible time in the house .

@amego de christo Are you done now Amigo? :ummm:
You have rattled on now for a quite few posts in your own sanctimonious way, to say exactly the same thing over and over….so focused on what others are doing, that you don’t realize that if you hold Catholic doctrine to be Bible truth, then you too are in bed with the harlot. Look at your own beliefs for a change….because I do not see you being able to defend them when challenged. :no reply:

Do you know what a watchtower is for Amigo? Every city had one because the watchman was on guard to detect any approach to the city that might be a threat. He would sound the alarm when movement was detected far off to alert the city’s inhabitants of an impending invasion….as the movement came closer it was revealed if it was friendly or unfriendly and appropriate action was taken either way. A false alarm was better than no alarm at all, because the people were at least made ready, just in case.

This is what Jesus told us to do….speaking of the time of his return, he said…
“Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” (Matt 24: 42-44 ESV)

If you knew your Bible as well as you think you do, you could have easily countered my arguments with more than empty bluster.

In our financial life, there is fiscal and monetary policy. Fiscal policy is about balancing budgets. Monetary policy is the nature of money, itself. (End The Fed by Ron Paul is an excellent and short analysis of this important topic.) In short, a corrupt money system is a hidden tax that hurts the poor the most. Such corruption has occurred throughout human history and there is a pair of verses in Scripture that haunt me regarding this fact:
  • Isaiah 1:22 Your silver has become dross, your best wine mixed with water.
  • James 5:4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
I don't believe James was literal in saying the workers were not paid their wages but that the money doesn't buy what it should - the silver has become dross. I think of the $1 my father saved in 1970 that is only worth $0.10 now. And since the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913, displacing silver and gold with fiat currency, the dollar has lost more than 99.8% of its value (based on current gold valuation). Now, we owe $38T, which means America has lost its sovereignty! We've enslaved our progeny. Preventing this explains why the Founding Father's did not establish a central bank but put in the US Constitution a provision @ Article I, Section 8, Clause 4:
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign
Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures

Monetary policy is about justice where the scales of weight and purity are balanced. Sadly, in 1913, Congress delegated this grant of power to an agency, independent of the will of the people. Do you think the people want to pay trillions of dollars in interest on money it has the power to create on their own? I've heard it said that Jesus talked more about money than any other single moral issue and this is because he knew money matters consume most people's thoughts.
  • Where are we getting our next meal?
  • How will we pay for the roof over our head?
  • How will we pay the doctor's bill?
  • How will we live when we are too old to work?
These are eternal questions in that in our lives they come up constantly. They are not one and done considerations. So, I was reminded of all this from the excerpt below.
This sad story points to an eternal truth. You cannot ever trust governments with the production and management of money.

So, what are we to do? Is crypto-currency the answer?
Do we conclude that Jesus was concerned with these things below? No doubt his disciples were in their early years with Jesus.
  • Where are we getting our next meal?
  • How will we pay for the roof over our head?
  • How will we pay the doctor's bill?
  • How will we live when we are too old to work?
I wonder what trust (faith) means if it ain't for the necessities of life?

The overly spiritualized falsely equate being focused or concerned about some material need with worshipping that thing. Most people can’t turn 5 loaves and 2 fish into a lifetime supply of food.

It’s easy not to have material concerns when you have the power and means to have your material needs met all the time. So, your question is a distraction from the OP.

I guess matters of trust are minor issues for you.
