If poor people don't contribute to the economy at all, why do we still keep them alive?

God does want us to pursue enough material wealth to take care of our own, at the very least. We are to provide for our families, when we call ourselves Christian. Anyone who does not pay their bills and manage their money have some kind of character and spiritual deficiency. We are to be good steward of our finances. God says so. I have noticed that those who cannot manage their finances have extreme spiritual problems. The Bible illustrates time after time that those who cannot handle their sexual and financial lives are in deep spiritual trouble, not to mention the emotional, financial and physical troubles.
God wants us to be holy-----that means whole. Having enough finances to take care of ourselves and our loves ones is absolutely one of the foremost signs of spiritual health.

No Brief, I don't think you work at all. I think you are a bitter angry old fart on retirement or disability sitting in front of his computer rage typing on conspiracy forums because you have nothing better to do.

God wants us to all drive new SUV's. What a stooge......

Why don't trust funders work? Who supports them?

Hmmm I don't see anywhere in that post where he says God says that.

Nice strawman argument.

You fail

uuuuhhhhh their families do............

Matthew 6:24 ESV

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

I'm poor and I ensure the freight gets to where your petty ass shops for convenience so suck it easy punk

Again, the poster you quoted never said God wanted everyone to drive an suv, that was made up b.s

As I said a strawman argument.

That poster also never said we should worship money, but that we need to take care of our own.

Nice try, again.

1 Timothy 5:8 If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
and 9 Let a widow be put on the list only if she is not less than 60 years old, having been the wife of one man....etc.. etc.
But REFUSE to put younger widos on the list......... they learn to be idle.


2 Thess 3:10 If any man (referes to women also) will not work, neither let him eat....

Many, many verses instruct us to work to support ourselves and our loved ones.

One of the most Biblical churches I know of has a principle that, when needy come calling with their hand out, if that person is able bodied, they offer payment for work around the church or payment for work at or around the homes of the church's disabled/ elderly. The great majority of the beggars who come calling refuse to do the work and go away empty-handed.

I'm prepared. What you don't understand, is that while on Earth, we have a moral obligation to become as wealthy as possible so that we are in a position to help others when they are deserving of our help.

It's a sin to help those that do not deserve help...you don't help a thief by giving him assistance to rob someone, for example.

Who can do more good for someone in need: a needy desperate broke person, or a wealthy person that takes care of his family and is responsible in his life to the point that he's in a position to give to those deserving of his charity?

You must be new to GLP. I have noticed in Brief's posts that he is a responsible, hard working young man with 3 boys he is bringing up to be accountable, responsible human beings. You need to have your information correct before you accuse people. GLP seems to be his recreation and some of his entertainment, but that doesn't preclude that he has a successful working business.

LOL, fail!


:vortex2013:

The money belongs to God, and I am simply the manager of it for his sake.

God wants you to make risky investments. God told me to tell you this khufu

God does not CARE what we drive, or whether we drive anything.
He says to be holy. That means whole. Being whole means being spiritually, financially responsible, emotionally healthy .... to be complete. People who are broke (because they are not responsible and productive) are never whole. Wake up!

God wants us to be good stewards.

managing money for God's sake, raising hybrid babies for your aliens friends, posting on GLP 75,000 times in 3 years....

you are a busy man

You have no idea, you could never keep up...maybe it's all the dope you smoke that's causing you to be retarded and lazy...something to consider.

nah i think i do have a pretty good idea

Sorry to hear that, do you take prescription medication for that or just smoke dope to hide from your problems?

^^this

is that all you got?

Khufu needed to hear that, but I believe you're correct

Poor had contributes and invented more than any rich bastard alive and it is indee the rich who milked the poor dead or alive.

Let see if the rich bastard could invented that free energy which should had been invented with NASA.

Cheapstake.

why, what else do you need?

Some of us are very poor don't live off welfare but own our own homes, grow what we eat, and work like old hell to pay the bills. If many of us didn't work and do things the rich wouldn't eat or be waited on in restaurants either or even have their big fancy homes built for that matter.

The wealthy didn't make or even ask you to work for them, they simply provided an opportunity that you chose to participate in...if you don't like it, then why not make your own way and become wealthy yourself?
