1 Timothy 6:6-9 (NASB)
[SUP]6 [/SUP] But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.
[SUP]7 [/SUP] For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either.
[SUP]8 [/SUP] If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.
[SUP]9 [/SUP] Butthose who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.
There is a massive difference between "wanting" to be rich and "being rich".....those that are poor fall into this category as well..it is not the money people..it's the "money" having them..the Lord is not against His children having "things"..He is against "things" having His children..
This foolish poverty mentality being pawned off as being "spiritual" is just as bad as the hucksters "wanting to be rich "..there is no difference between them ..except one is more religious sounding...
Christ is our treasure!
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law...go read in Deut 28 to see what they were...you will be surprised.
Galatians 3:13 (NASB)
[SUP]13 [/SUP] Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"—
