CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

True! Paul did faithfully bear necessities during his missionary work and praised God for providing him with the strength to do so. But that doesn't mean that eating and drinking and feeling happy are indicative of being unholy. Eating and drinking only become misdeeds if they are done in excess to the point of gluttony and become our prized treasures to the neglect of spiritual matters.
An example of how eating and drinking and feeling merry are not necessarily evil is seen in how Jesus provided wine to increase the merriment during a wedding celebration.

There are many pastors that preach the prosperity gospel today in megachurches and live like a rockstar,....the message of the bible is highly dependent on the preacher....

Thats a good idea, because from the looks of it, its only those who preach that gets prosperous instead of the congregation, no prize for guessing why.

Absolutely! He provided an example of endurance under duress since he faced persecution and many trials which tested his Christian mettle.
That's why he wrote the following way in his letter to the church in the city of Philipi.

You're not GOD though. You can suggest and offer your opinions but in the end, it is HIS WORD that has authority over all our suggestions and opinions

The scriptures lead me, and i dont see prosperity doctrine in scripture. I see love and sowing to the spirit. The apostle Paul says that godliness is not about gain, and the Lord said we will have treasure in heaven. I dont think heaven uses money. The scriptures say that we cannot take money with us.

Because I don't believe that God exist and if he did, I would not want to spend an eternity with an entity that would send people to hell just for not believing regardless of that person's moral code....If an evil person who repents on his deathbed gets a free pass and a person who does charity works all his life but don't believe in God goes to hell,....that is not justice, love or mercy,....that to me is tyranny
