This is not in context. Yes God gives us good things, but things that are GOOD for us, not meaning things we want! Get a clue already!
If ya gonna tell me it is out a context, your gonna have to do a better job than that Louis.
What makes you think that this scripture is what you say it means, you base everything on scripture mate but I cant see your interpretation. Every scripture you guys have come up with is put with your own twist and explanation were as , all I have done is pasted scripture that speaks for its self.
The fact that you are so shore I have this out of context has proved that your biblical knowledge isnt divine like you seem to think because I recon you are the one that has it all out of context.
For a start , I have never said that god would give you something that was totally against his will. Youre the one telling me I am saying that over and over?????????
Look at it again, only take those tunnel vision glasses of this time mate.
Matthew 7
7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Now, I have never said that god will give you what ever you want.. All you need to do is read my posts Louis to see that. I think you need to get what I have said in context because you keep saying that this is what I am saying and also the faith movement, even though I have tried to explain many times, if you would have read my posts.
Scripture speaks for its self but ya got to laugh at how Christians twist it to say what ever they want
.
I just want to ask you how did Christ pray..YOUR WILL BE DONE. Why don't you search it and find the part about riches...It says daily BREAD. not daily meat or luxery item..it says bread.
Yes , so what is your point hear????
God let stephen die, are you saying he wasn't faithful enough?
I have never ever said any such things LOUIS , will you please stop putting words in my mouth because your interpretation of my posts is extreamly out of context. Stop saying I said this and that!!! Quote me but do not put words in my mouth!!!
Ya gotta read my posts mate or what is the point????
the problem is that Christ came to bring spiritual blessings, not physical ones. If you had read your bible you would know that.
My goodness, are we even reading the same book??
Christ himself addresses getting material goods...he says in Luke, "for the pagans of this world runs after all suck things, and your Father knows that you NEED them." He provides needs, not wants.
Talking about out of context mate??? This was talking about us not worrying because god takes care of us. The heathen worries about such things because they are without faith in gods.
Read it carefully mate because I disagree with your scriptural interpretations totally. He says not to worry about theses needs because our heavenly father will automatically take care of us. He said, first seek the kingdom of god and its righteousness , then all these things will be added to you.
.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
So if someone prospers because they give, that is against the bible??? Were would that leave people like Job and Abraham and David and Solomon and many other men of god that made god first in their life and god made them rich.???
Luke 6
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye meet withal it shall be measured to you again.
So if one prospers by living by this scripture, how can someone that disagrees, ever convince them that what they do is against gods will
They cant!!! because it works just like the scripture tells us.
I feel for all you people that don`t have the faith to believe that god would desire to do any more than just put a little food in your mouth????
