This world is not fair

This world is not fair

No it ain't.....never has been....accept it, move on, and don't whine about it.

I believe the world is extremely fair. If you plant a seed, even though you are rich, It will grow just the same as my seed, even though Im richer than you.

But! what we reap is totally dependent on what you have shown. The rich stay rich because they grow up planting "rich" seeds (though unconsciously). Same for the poor. If we want to change our harvest, we just have to change the seeds we plant. The harvest is plenty......but not too many people willing to check and change the seeds that are being planted....... So we go blame God.

 

[GeorgeJ]

....... So we go blame God.

Who's blaming God? Not me.......I've already come to terms with the way the world is.

No sense in going around farting rainbows trying to make it otherwise.

It's just life....

Hogwash.

There are countless reasons for why people are rich or poor. None of which have to do wth "rich seeds".

I was talking in general and about the OP. I AM come that we might have life and life abundantly. It isnt just life. It is our choice to live life, or let life live us. So yes there is no point passing gas and then points at others......when we know we can change things by eating less beans.

But all this isnt that important....it is perfectly fine walking through life blindly..........but if, by chance one decides to grab a pair of eye and put them in.....you will wish you had done it decades ago. This is not for you.

Jimmmmmmmmmmmmmy how are ya? thought you blocked me. Nice to hear from you again.

Many would say that you are the one "walking blind" if you have not opened your eyes to the realities of this world.

But I am happy that life has been just peachy-keen for you. For the great majority of us - Christian or otherwise - it's ups and downs.

Never stated how life is for me. We all have ups and downs and i can tell you first hand that emotional downs are much harder to deal with than financial or material ones. We all are dealt our hands and have to deal with them.......until we believe we can change them. All my statements are meant spiritually and have little to do with the material world or things we can do to get more material. It is all about a personal belief in the power of God....which must be gained through experience.....you personally believe my words does nothing for you or me....and this is not my aim. Ask and you shall receive....we have not because we ask not.

 

[GeorgeJ]

Ask and you shall receive....we have not because we ask not.

"Name it and claim it" is

Hogwash.

 

[RaymondG]

"Name it and claim it" is

I agree....it is. You have to have what you want before you can get it. It is pointless to ask for something you dont have. Good chatting with you....and i appreciate a lot of your views.

 

[jimmyjimmy]

"Name it and claim it" is

Yes sir.

 

[RaymondG]

Yes sir.

If any man tells you that what you believe is not true, then they are liars and the truth is not in them. Be it unto you as you believe....

 

[GeorgeJ]

If any man tells you that what you believe is not true, then they are liars and the truth is not in them.

...unless what you believe really isn't true.

 

[RaymondG]

...unless what you believe really isn't true.

Not possible. What you believe is true to you, and that is all that matters. When you dream a bad dream, you are scared and kicking your wife in bed. Doesn't matter that, to her, your dream was not real. To you it was real...until you woke up and stopped believing it. We are dreaming that now, we have to live like we are and others(or fate) are the cause and there is nothing we can do about it. And it is true.......until we wake up and stop believing it.

You think that if I correct my friend's belief in a lie I am evil?

 

[RaymondG]

There is none good but God.......maybe there is none evil but the devil. If you give an example, maybe we can reason together....You won't, however be able tho get me to call you wrong or evil.

Bad people, evil people, gain more wealth than honest people.
Evil people live good lives, honest and hard working people earn very less and live poor lives.

This world is not fair, why have we (Christians) to become good people?
What's the reward?
Sometimes, and always, you will feel that it is stupid to be good!

Correct, the world isn't fair. But whose fault is that? Sinful humanity. God certainly didn't make it unfair. We did that all on our own. As long as people don't submit to God and do what is right then the world will continue on in this way no matter what shape or form injustice takes.

As for being good, there is a difference between what the world considers good and what God considers good. I can tell you that God's standard is way higher. Even the people we consider 'good' by the worlds standards are sinners just like us. Hard working people sin too. We ALL do. So really, without Jesus, none of us can be truly good and holy in God's eyes.

As for the reward, Jesus said that we will receive our crown in heaven. That's a pretty undeserved reward people a people who can't even do good things completely on their own.

I feel you on this, I really do. The world is unfair and frustrating and can get you down. But keep your eyes focused on Christ and continue to run the race. I guarantee that you won't regret it.

 

[RisenInJesus]

"money" is very important to Church, because I see that many churches are asking for millions of offering, with the reason to expand the kingdom of God.

Church is the place where people always talk about money money money.
The pastor talk about it.
All the time the church's management will say that "we need money to expand the kingdom of God".

Yes, money is so important to church.
Therefore, Christians have to work hard for money, with the "holy reason" of earning money for God.
Is that true?

The more sin and love of money you see in the world or in the church should cause you and any true believer to focus on Jesus and the riches He offers for eternity.

 

[RisenInJesus]

But God should exercise his justice in the present time and in this world,
does God postpone his judgment to after life? I can't imagine that.

Since you are not God with His All-knowing wisdom I don't think you can accurately say He should exercise justice in the present time. For one thing, you can't know how He may be exercising justice in various situations. Along with that, the scriptures show that this world and present time is temporary. God is concerned with the eternal outcome.

 

[RaymondG]

The more sin and love of money you see in the world or in the church should cause you and any true believer to focus on Jesus and the riches He offers for eternity.

Do you believe focusing on gaining riches in the after live is any different than focusing on gaining riches now in this life?
