I think it is good to be grateful for what God provided... it is good to share it as well...

be it money or time or truth...

Though I still am inclinded to agree that money seems to come with problems and sometimes it is far more appealing as a Christian to just focus on whats going last😁


I come from very little... and shared much and kept nothing in regards to what the opportunities God provided ....

As I grow in age... I have been pressed to actually make more long term choices though....

I feel moved to build a more stable foundation that instead of giving what i can in the moment... i can set up a system that will give more than i could without it.... if that makes sense...

I'm not there yet... but im pluckin away... even if Id rather just not think twice about it



(not claiming in anyway that God is calling you to the same mindset and i completely see and respect where youre coming from)


the LOVE of money is truly awful but money can be a useful tool

whoops "focus on whats going TO last" i meant

sorry

I just like using those emojis...and I find it quite amusing...is that a problem?
not at all🤣😭😕🤫

thats just a brother in Christ who has picked up his sword and probably assumed you were one of the many who would call a thread like this useless or fruitless not knowing how many people it has helped

(it is really easy to be snappy when youre used to people who are less than honest and seeking to hurt you... i bet you two would agree on a lot😁)

Geez, what is the big deal?🙄
Please don't be discouraged from posting here... sometimes people take things the wrong way....
When all we have to go by is text, it is much easier to misunderstand eachother...


Both of these two are very loving people but probably just misunderstood the intention😅


60% of this threads traffic are currently banned members who pop back in on new accounts to be ...stinky....

Yeah, there definitely has been a misunderstanding. I was just trying to lighten things up but, felt a bit upset of the reaction.

I do apologise for the sensitivity on my side.

I'm sure they're pleasant people.😊

Yes definitely more central in the state....I remember it being a long hike for me and got lost and arrived at 3:00 am ...a very late night check in...lol... not fun
But I did like the outdoor mall in the outskirts I think ...is it still there?

i wonder why? he always seemed polite to me. maybe he spoke some crazy heresy like that serpent seed.
Genesis speaks of the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent, but seed of the serpent is not talking about physical descent from the serpent. It is talking about spiritual antichrists, those who oppose the seed of the woman/Christ

It is a spiritual descent, not a ridiculous notion of a sexual encounter between eve and the serpent, which I think is gnostic in origin. Not sure about this last part though

I slept in, till 09:45 this morning, open the shade on the window, where the Thermometer is at 10:00 A.M. It was 1 degrees above 0, and wanted to go back to bed. :(

A former banned member had a website asking for donations of gold.
@ALLofCC
......I mean...... I don't have a website or anything..... but if someone is giving gold away I would be delighted to do you the favor of taking it off your hands...😅

are you sarcastic or not? honest question.

i just dont like to deal with money more than i have to. you know money makes people do evil things all the time. if i won the lottery and i lost all of it the next day i wouldnt care if i still got a roof over my head and food. i can even be homeless but only in a warm place not here in finland.
Melach....in all things give thanks that is my view.:)

Good move to ask for gold ;)

We have been warned even one penny is enough to send you on the road to perdition!
