I am assuming that you have read the Bible. If you had read the Bible, you wouldn't be asking me to locate the passage that I referenced. In one night alone, I read completely through the N/T TWICE. I was able to link future verses with current verses that I was reading, on my second time...

WOW! You are definitely lost in terms of world economics and finance. The reason why China 'gets the jobs', is because they do not have a 'union' problem. They are a communist country. Let me explain something to you; China has a very large economy of their own. Any products that they can...

I am not employed as a minister. I do not write everything down, with its scriptural reference location. If I did, I would have to re-write everything in the Bible. What is the point of doing that. I remember reading in the N/T that unbelievers seek 'proof' with their own eyes, instead of...

You have no idea what you are talking about. China's biggest concerns (as are the concerns of other nations), are the 'debt to assets' ratio, liquidity, unemployment, foreign trade surplus/deficit, age of population, ...and the list goes on. Those who are employed, are seeking higher and higher...

The N/T warns us against 'seeking miracles'. The unbelievers do this. They want to see for themselves, instead of believing what others have witnessed (miracles of Christ).

What about Greece, Italy, Iceland, etc., etc.? What about the polluted waters of the world, the global warming, the disasters (floods, fires, earthquakes, famines, pestilences, etc.)? The world is 'debt-ridden'. Resources are becoming scarce. No country really knows the value of their currency...

Your second example (above), is one of Christ's miracles. I already said that Christ (N/T) miracles proved Christ's power (and truth). We don't know much about the real truth behind the current days' healing taking place. We do know, that the N/T scriptures tell us, that one of the 'gifts'...

Which 'miracles' are you referring to? Are these miracles accepted by everyone, as being true 'miracles'?

I think that you may be emphasizing the U.S. too much. The whole world is in economic trouble. It appears that we are heading for a perfect 'opening' for the 'antichrist' to take over. The problem is too huge, to be solved by mere 'man'. The 'end' may be closer than we think.

Life, itself, is a 'miracle'. We could learn a lot from the book of Job, when Job was scolded by God. God asked Job, who he thought took care of all of the wildlife on the planet. The plants and animals survive, without the help of human beings. We are warned by N/T scripture, to not seek out...

The N/T scripture gives us some 'insight' to 'life after death'. First, is the story of the rich man and the beggar, and secondly, Christ told one of those beside Him on the cross, that he would be with Christ in paradise, (that night???). There have been many NDE, and I wonder if this is God...

Is the scripture referring to water baptism, or baptism of The Holy Ghost? In the time of Christ, baptism by water was only carried out on those that had sought repentance and desired to follow Christ. Baptism by water today, includes babies, dead people, etc., etc. It has become 'defiled'. We...

I want you to think of one last 'thing'. If the Father could turn His back on His only begotten Son, at a time, when His Son needed Him the most, then where do we stand, if we are being persecuted 'unto death'? Will God turn away from us, and if so, FOR HOW LONG? Will we be 'left hanging' for a...

It seems to me, that you are trying to live 'in two worlds' at the same time. God is showing you what you should be doing, and the possible treasures that you will receive, if you obey. He is also showing you the results of seeking out 'the worldly pleasures' (partying and following the crowd)...

This very possible (it is as good an explanation as any). The first time that I experienced a 'close call with death', was when I was 5 years of age. I was living in Beardmore, Ontario, and spring was just arriving. The snow was gone, but there were many open 'ditches' along the highway...
