They are not rules and messages. They are the philosophy of God conveyed
throughout. They are His will for us, and there are very few who are
willing to move that way. It requires a very high calling, and most
people are unwilling to give up those parts of their lives. I struggle
with my own walk in so many ways, but I keep coming back to Him on my
knees, and I walk with a conscience in submission to God, such that I
surrender my will to Him before I move, and even before I write these
posts.
 
I'm perfectly willing to take a rebuke and hear a corrective teaching.
Show me where I'm wrong and I'll make a public profession of the same.

He also warns about this in Revelation to John. Lukewarm Christianity:
 
http://biblehub.com/kjv/revelation/3.htm
 
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These
things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the
beginning of the creation of God;
 
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would
thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,
I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and
have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched,
and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
 
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou
mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed,
and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint
thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore,
and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice,
and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne,
even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his
throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
 
Who has an ear to hear what the Spirit says unto the churches?

What is your definition of rich, Rick?
 
Now you are trying to say that God is going to send everybody that has a
nice amount of money to Hell. Wow, this God of yours is a total monster
as%hole.

It's not the money that is bad. Rich people will enter into Heaven. But
when a person has riches they are focused on their riches, on keeping
them, on acquiring more. It is a drawing in one's life that demands
attention, and it prevents one from doing work for the Lord as a person
seeking more money will more often make sacrifices in quality or in some
other area so as to decrease costs and increase revenue.
 
God would save a person from that distraction, and have them operate in a
way which continually keeps them on their knees acknowledging Him as the
source of that which they have been given, and could ever be given. It
is a happy place to be.
 
BTW, Paul even warns about getting married. A married person seeks to
please their spouse. A single person seeks to please the Lord. A married
person will necessarily (and rightly) focus their attention and time on
pleasing their spouse, on meeting their needs ... but a single person will
have that time to devote to the Lord.
 
Paul suggests it's better to remain single, but that not all people can
do this. It is not a command, just guidance for those in this world who
want to serve the Lord to the uttermost.
 
http://biblehub.com/kjv/1_corinthians/7-34.htm
 
34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The
unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she
may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married
careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
 
It's not a command to not marry, but information for the discerning person
who will choose the things of their life. It is a teaching that the
married person will have focus and attention on things which are not
explicitly of the Lord, but are of the world and of their spouse's needs.
As a married person who is also a believer, I can tell you it's 100% true.
 
Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin

Jesus was explicit. It is easier for donkey to pass through narrow
passage then rich to enter Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus also said that if you want to enter KOH you have to give up on
wealth and follow him.

There aren't many examples of this in the world, so it would seem to be
a bad idea. Satan always enters in and destroys all such efforts through
the sin living in each of us in our flesh. He makes the cooperation and
surrender unto God system seem like a cult, and something to be avoided.
 
It's not a model that has been successful because of sin. And I've had
thoughts that it might not even be truly possible here on Earth because
of sin, but as I have those thoughts I also remember:
 
http://biblehub.com/kjv/philippians/4-13.htm
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
 
It requires that focus on Him, that willingness to put all of our faith
and trust in Him. To do our part, but to call upon His name. And there's
more to it than just my opinion or beliefs in this area. I may have ideas
that are appropriate, but won't work at a particular time (or ever), so
the Lord doesn't just let me run out there with reckless abandon. He is
the Good Shepherd, and He watches over His sheep. He will protect me from
making horrible mistakes. Or rescue me from them if I make them. He's
done it time and time and time again. :-)
 
To live a life in submission to Jesus Christ, looking to Him for all things,
honoring Him with everything we possess in our lives ... this is what He is
seeking. To worship Him in spirit and truth, with the spirit leading, and
our bodies falling in line behind His guidance through the spirit, unto the
good works of His here on Earth for Him, for our fellow man.
 
It's a tall calling ... and I haven't personally met anyone yet who is up
for it. And I'm still learning the details of how to proceed, because I
haven't even heard teachings from pastors on how to do it. They all say
that because of sin it will not work. But I know Jesus Christ defeated
sin at the cross. And if we have faith to trust in Him we can accomplish
anything together.

Rick C. Hodgin

You are banging against the wall. Long ago it was noted that humanity
refused Christ teachings.
Christianity died when it was accommodated to become Romans state
religion. Romans killed all true Christians then modified religion to
become state religion. End of story.

Have never heard that before. And given the prior conveyances you've
had regarding scripture, I will have to see proof of that from a
Biblical scholar.
 
Here's what the original Greek tells us about those passages:

Some actually did that. Christianity is actually self destructive cult.
You have to give up on this life in order to gain eternal life.
You have to die for this world. That's clear message.
What Romans (especially Byzantine) did to this is that wealthy man and
man of questionable morality became saints. Even brother killers.

You are misreading I'm writing, either intentionally or unintentionally.
 
If you care at all about the truth, seek the truth. If not, then don't.
God gives you the choice to choose, and it is you who must live or die
from the consequences of your choices, Chris.
 
I point you to Jesus Christ and give you His teachings as best I'm able.
It's up to you now to do the rest.

Well, let's see. I can spend $100,000 worth of my time writing a great
program. I can sell 0 copies at $100,000 ea. Or I can sell 20,000
copies at $10 ea.
 
I the first case, I am hungry, homeless and without means to make more
money because my computer died and I can't afford to fix/replace it. In
the second case, I have a warm home for my family, food on the table and
money left over to buy new equipment.
 
But according to Rick, I can't sell the copies. I can only sell the
original.

You've never run a business, Rick. The cost of labor is separate from
non-labor costs, both fixed and variable. And it has to be tracked
separately for tax and insurance purposes. All added together gives the
cost of production.

Yes, definitely don't get married. Women are the root of all evil!
Instead, hire a prostitute to satisfy your needs!

And some of those false doctrines can be found in c.l.c++. But those
espousing those doctrines don't recognize themselves.
