Alcove Puppetmaster Posts: 917 Group: Veterans Member #81 Joined: 11 August 2008	So, about this money topic. I don't believe we should spend it for only ourselves or gain more wealth and keep it for ourselves. People with all the money in the world should share and help others that need it. I'm very glad this topic was brought up.
	I say nay, therefore I am I am what brings yaysayers to their demise and force them to submit to demands of MINE OWN! Therefore, logic of nay is the hope that brings light and also forthcomes with devastation yay, because who decided hate was better than purity? Who decided purity was better than hate?

Goliath Posts: 976 Group: Veterans Member #3 Joined: 26 December 2007	I think what Arazec means is we sould follow the three steps to money. Good thing my pastor taught about this last week. The steps to money is: Earn all you can. This is so you can provide for your family, like buying food and paying your taxes. The bible says that as a provider for your family that is your number one priority. Save all you can. Troubles come up and it is best to be prepared for it. Something may happen to your home or a loved one could become sick. It goes back to your first priority as a provider. How can you provide if you can not afford it. The last on is the trickiest. Give all you can. God mentions in the bible that tithing is important. It is a step to showing him that you are obediant. He proves time and again that he will bless you if you are obedient. Don't use the excuse that the church is not using the money for God's purpose. Just give because he said to. If the leaders of a church are not using the money the way God wants them to, He will judge them. If it bothers you too much for you to handle you can always go to another church, one that you feel is using the money the way it is supposed to be used.
	My Command is this:Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he should lay down his life for his friends. -John 15:12-13 That's a mighty wicked place. Tilt-a-whirl's okay, but the rest is pure wicked. Hell have no fury like the vast robot armies of a woman scorned Now boarding stand by passengers

The demona wolf Posts: 454 Group: Members Member #216 Joined: 24 February 2009	Well I don`t think wealth is a fruit of wisdom... but you have to use wisdom so that your wealth does not control who you are if you have enough money and if you are of age then it is easy to just say QUOTE: "SCREW THIS I"M GONNA BUY SOME BEER AND PARTY!" un-quote: so I think that God has a very good senc of humor I bet He thought HMMM now what can I give man that will benefit him but make him relise that if he does not use it well there will be consequences AND ALL GODS PEOPLE SAID A-MEN!!

Goliath Posts: 976 Group: Veterans Member #3 Joined: 26 December 2007	I believe that came from Joel Olsten. I'm not to sure. I just remember it because my preacher preached on it and my discipleship training teacher talked about it too.
