Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars and render unto God that which is Gods.

I do not think there is money in heaven for there will be no need for it.

The Bible tells us that God will provide for us and that which we sow we reap. On the other hand it also informs us that we need to store our treasuries in Heaven than on Earth. I do not think God has a problem with us having money because He provides for us. I think we are to live within our means and not to seek material things with a passion or idolize it, our passion is reserved for God and each other.

There certainly will not be any ipads, iphones, etc...Facebook or Tweeter either. No bad emotions, suffering or misadventures to talk about. No sad or touching news of the human experience.

it's odd to ponder the things we discuss at times,i like to watch as you all post your ideas on different subjects. at times one of you say things and i think "huh,i didn't think about it that way",, and so i look more into it. at times things i have thought some post scripture and i think "yea,that is right i just didn't consider that set of scriptures in support",,,

that said though i wonder,,,,in the lords prayer he says,,,"thy kingdom come they will be done on earth as it is in heaven". so i suppose this centers around,"the will of god",that is the very same (will of god) that is done in heaven is the very same thing in that day that will take place on earth.

so what will is he even speaking of? does he mean that gods will is that we love one another,and is that the will that will be done?,,,now if the church as we are taught loved their brother,and did not hate them then in a portion this is so already. but then again as we know the whole earth(people) do not do this,so is that kingdom come and the same will that is preformed in heaven preformed on earth?,,,

so "money in heaven",,,if it is not the will of god in heaven then when the will of god that comes to the earth and is preformed here not the same?,,,so then in that day when the kingdom comes and the will of god is done on earth as it is in heaven,will there be money in the earth?,,,

when we sit at the dinner table we do not charge our children for the food we served them,but we see them as family. on the other hand we do expect our boss to pay us for the work we do,because he is not. we don't charge our family members for the clothes we give them,,but wall-mart doesn't say to us here my brother and dress us.,,

what manner of kingdom the kingdom Jesus spoke of as coming to the earth,and when will it come?,,,what a beautiful day that will be to walk in that street when the will of god is done here as it is in heaven.,,,the "will of god,,what is your will god?,,my will is that you love one another",thats what we know today. that old serpent was cast out of heaven and there was no place found in heaven for him,,,for i suppose not preforming the "will of god in heaven",,,,but money in heaven,makes you wonder about that day when the same will is in the earth,,,,,,,

i won't comment on everything SpiritofFire believes in or thinks about (who am i to do that?), but in this thread at least, "compassion for the poor and needy" is certainly found in the Bible.

True but I addressed this in my other posts in this thread. I was talking about Spirit's more 'alternative' beliefs, not the main tenants and practices of the Christian faith.

[h=3]1 Timothy 6:10[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.


[h=3]Luke 16:9-11[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. 10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

I'm just wondering how people view the basics of heavenly life.

But if you do not see money in heaven, what us wrong with trying to pattern our world here after what we hope it to be now?

I don't think Adam and Eve needed money. And since that is the state we are to return to, I would reckon God, as He did then, would supply us with what we have need of like a Godly Father would.

The New Heaven and Earth will be different to the Garden of Eden paradise.

I can't remember reading anything in the Bible about that. If people patterned life as God instructed, according to His words, the world would be a better place. But, people don't listen to well. And that is why we have problems . The only time there can be peace here, is when the Prince of Peace Christ returns at the second advent. Till then its going to be trouble, and a lot of work to do.

Yes, the love of money is the root of all evil (making it your idol). The problem is not money in and of itself.

Yes, the Father and Son will be amongst us and we shall be in fellowship with God face-to-face again.

Yes, And as a Father, He will care for us and human governance will be no more. Love gives without regret.

Yes, And that object of testing, the Tree, will be no more, seeing they who are in Christ now, do not have sin imputed unto them.

Yes, And that object of temptation, the Snake, will be no more, because God will know you have chosen Him freely.

YES, Tintin!! You are 100% correct. Wouldn't that be Heavenly :)

No, I don't think there will be money in heaven. God will provide us with everything we need.

SpiritofFire,
why did Jesus suffer and die on the Cross?

To save those who do not believe in Him while they live. Abraham's house was of the living as Jesus pointed out.

Genesis 17:23And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

since you do not believe in a literal eternal lake of fire - eternal punishment and separation from God for those rejecting Christ, and you do not believe anything the True Christ said....you have everything to lose.



i don't think there's 9-1-1 service in hell, Patient.

What is not of God is indeed burned away. The Bible says nothing can separate us from the love God has for us in Christ. It also says that from even the lowest hell, God can and will save. Again this was the reason Jesus died. In the parable of Lazaurus and the rich man in which Abraham could not breach the gulf? There is One that can now do it!
