    No he does not hate it! He uses it to His glory! It takes money to spread the Word. You of all people should know that! He blesses people so we can be a blessing to others. Where is the sin in that? If we did not have enough for our needs and some left over(Is what I explained about where I stand on prosperity)...where do you think missionaries would get their money?

    Because that is the sin of the LOVE of money.. not money itself!

    Why would he become poor finacially for us to become spiritually blessed? I do not see that in scriptures.

    But you would like for him to do that in poverty? Hungry? cold? etc. I do not think so! YOu would pray every night that God would meet his needs!

    What he calls me to do!

    -When Jesus was asked why a man was born blind, Jesus said it was not his sin or his parent's, but that "the works of God might be manifest." Sounds like it was part of God's plan or something.


    Notice Job did not say it was God's "fault". But he did say Go had taken away his wealth and family....and later he speaks of recieving what he considered and "evil" sickness from God. "In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong." He said God did it, but he was not charging God with wrong.

    So the question remains: Is the Bible telling a lie when it says Job did not sin in what He said?

    You pray and ask the Lord.
    Study and search the Scriptures.
    If he had not done so, you would not be saved.

    Here it is again:

    2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
    --Are you not rich simply because you have salvation? The riches are in the salvation that we have.
    I raised my family in a third world nation just like one of ones you saw. God provided for our needs. We never went hungry. But we did not meet the definition of prosperity that you gave, which is unbiblical. We did not apply the verse as you did, which is unbiblical.

    We saw first hand what you saw in those videos. The Bible commands us to go to the unreached, and reach them for Christ. It never commands us to remain in our own nation.

    God used the healing to His glory!




    So by Job saying that made it so..we know who did it! Satan did it, not God!

    Who is saying it is a sin?

    Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

    What part do you have in obeying the command given in the Great Commission?

    Well lets all load up in a boat and travel overseas...who will be left here then? I am in my part of the World...I am sharing Jesus with my part of the world. Jesus does not send all...just like apostles...they are the sent ones. Are you saying we are all apostles?

    Acts 8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

    Acts 8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
    4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

    Note: the leadership of the church stayed at home; the members of the church went abroad or to various places preaching the Word. That is the responsibility of the church.

    Everywhere God sends me I share Jesus! Anyone that knows me knows how much I love the Lord. I am a witness where God sends me! That scripture does not mean we all need to go over seas.

    Notice I never said specifically you had to go to a foreign nation.
    I simply asked:

    What part do you have in obeying the command given in the Great Commission?
