Where the rich man is wicked and the poor man is rich in spirit?

Why can't it be the opposite.

Only the rich are righteous and the poor are wicked. God let it the opposite though.

Will sin keep you out of heaven...?

Then, any and all sin, or what...? Or just some or certain ones under certain conditions, or what...? Then, what are those conditions if there are any...? Then, if there are conditions, does that make God's Love, Grace, or other things given or bestowed upon us by God, "conditional" and not a free gift, or what...? And then, again and also, what are those conditions or requirements for that, or the opposite of that or this as well...? (and by opposite, I would mean that or those conditions which would for sure send you to hell)...?

What is the "standard" or standards...? And are we (all of us in any and all cases without exception) required to meet or live up to them (that or those standards or...

When does Lucifer ascend to heaven? Isaiah 14:10-20
As shown in Revelation.

I'm so confused right now. I just moved to a new city by myself and it's been 3 weeks and still haven't found work. Please pray God opens a door for me!! I'm so confused if I should stay or move!! ((

So im aware that Jesus was that lamb that took away the sins of the world but also there is the fact that in heaven there are rewards and crowns. I suppose that some crowns will be given to those that endured those that helped others and those that spread and died for the gospel. It is said that every action and thought will be thoroughly known on the day of judgement this must mean that even though we had our sins cleansed it does not excuse us from our past deeds. Must be a very long list and time for every human person. I am well aware that God exists outside of time and that the whole body of Christ can communicate with him simultaneously.

I just could never understand this. I've seen multiple posts on here with things saying "homosexual Christian" or "I'm Christian and I'm gay". I don't understand it because one can not label themselves as that anymore, or any other sin, once they decide to be a Christ-follower. What I am saying is you need to give up your old life and build an identity in Christ. Remove the identity of homosexuality and being gay and bring in the identity in Jesus. It's as absurd as someone saying "Lying Christian" or "Stealing Christian". I am NOT saying that the homosexual thoughts and desires are a choice, but it is a choice what we do with those thoughts. Do we give it much thought and build an identity around them? Do we use those thoughts to...

Hi, I just want to know if there is something wrong with me spiritually and what I should do, or if this is a normal thing. I've been a Christian for two years now, but I have noticed the last year or so, I've forgotten what the feeling of happiness feels like and I've just been very depressed. When I first found Jesus, I was very happy and I've never been happier in my life... That was in 2017 when I first got saved, everything went well. But then in 2018 I started getting depressed and unhappy when I started to take my walk with God more serious. I feel like I'm not enjoying life as much as I once did. For example, I used to enjoy making music but it was secular music and it was a way to release my creative energy. But then I realized...

I wonder this, not to open up any excuses to ignore sound doctrine, by any means, but because so many different doctrines seem to be given this treatment among different denominations.

Yet I keep going back to the thief on the cross. He didn’t have time to learn any of what we might call essential doctrines yet he got saved. He didn’t have any time to understand TULIP, get his end time theology in order, argue about spiritual gifts, worry about Pauline versus Jamesian view on faith and works; he simply knew Christ in his very spirit being and he was saved right there.

Any thoughts?

Perhaps there is someone on here who is following the progress of Trump's signature promise of a wall along the boarder. We know he has over a billion dollars requisitioned from the Congress and apparently by declaring it an emergency he can free up billions more. What I'm starting to wonder is if construction has begun, what the plan is for that actual construction and when it's expected to be complete.

I'm not really finding that much with regards to details, that's a lot of money and a lot of wall construction. Does anyone have something comprehensive on the details regarding the construction of the wall?
