Do you think that you will cheat God ?





Quote:




Matthew 25:14
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15  And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16  Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17  And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18  But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19  After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20  And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21  His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22  He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23  His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24  Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25  And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26  His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27  Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28  Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29  For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30  And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


Proverbs 1:10
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11  If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12  Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13  We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14  Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:



Do you believe that God is a socialist ?

Do you believe that that, is God's intent for us ?

I believe that we are here, because God wishes to us to know and to understand what we will do with the 'talents' that are revealed within ourselves.

And that God wishes to us to know and understand, what we will do with our 'talents', when left to our own devices [choices].

Not so?

Romans 1:19
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Who is without excuse ???

Ourselves.

We all make our own choices, to do good, or, to do evil.

We all have a choice, in how we conduct ourselves in this life.
We all choose.

We ourselves, are the 'gatekeepers' of our hearts.
We choose which spirits we allow [invite] into our hearts.
And nobody [and no spirit] can compel us, to join with them.
And no spirit can compel us to do what is evil.

No body compels us, to choose the evil.

When we choose the evil, we ourselves choose it.

"...so that they are without excuse:"

Is Allah a socialist ???

Moslems?

"And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah,- and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer,- if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing,- the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things."
Koran 8:41

Jesus came, as a servant, and Jesus came as an example to us.

But Jesus is not a servant today.

And God's kingdom, is no 'democracy'.

Neither is it [or God's authority] a tyranny.

Isaiah 55:8
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.




God, is a spirit.

And we too, are created spirit beings, [somehow] locked within these physical bodies.

'Imprisoned', if you like.


What, or where is, God's kingdom?

And, do any of us have a place in it?

The best way i can explain it to you, is the comparison between light and darkness.



Many atheists say;
"Where is God? I can't see God. God does not exist."

Q.
But can light and darkness, exist together?

A.
Light and darkness, cannot exist together.
Light will drive away the darkness.

Or, the darkness will try to extinguish the light.
But they cannot co-exist.
It is an impossibility.

Light and darkness, and, goodness and wickedness.
They are separate, and by definition, they cannot co-exist.

And, atheists cannot see [or 'comprehend'] God, because the spirit of God will not 'touch' them.

Why not?
Because our God is Holy.
And God will not 'touch' those, who refuse to separate the good, from the evil.
...those who refuse to discern between good, and evil.

God has the power to heal us.

But why would God want to touch what is wicked, and heal it ???

Q.
And, can light, touch, darkness ???

A.
No.

Would God be just, to heal, the wilfully wicked?

God will heal the repentant soul, i believe.


Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Matthew 13:10
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11  He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12  For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13  Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14  And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15  For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16  But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

God's message to all of mankind has always been the same.

God's message, was also Jesus message to mankind;

Isaiah 55:6
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Foolosophy,

You are a person who wishes to avoid all responsibility, for the consequences of your choices, imo.

But hey, you are in good company.

Probably 99% of mankind feel the same way, and will agree with your perspective/perceptions.



And, to answer your question,

No eyes to see, no eyes to see, no eyes to see.

Go your own way.

Walk your own path, wilfully.

And always turn away from truth.

Never, ever, be confronted by the truth.

Always reject it, and turn away.

Love the world, and delight in its unrighteousness.

All your choices.

Bear them.

Wrong again...
Jesus did not reject Judaism...He was born, raised, educated, lived and died as a Jew, and was buried as a Jew too...

And the reason Modern Judaism disagrees with Christianity is because Christians see Jesus as the son of God, but Judaism regards him as a Prophet....

Quote:


Yeh as opposed to Christians, like the most influential man in Protestant Christianity, Martin Luther, who stated in his book "On the Jews & their lies" when describing the Jews:

They are a "base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth."
They are full of the "devil's feces ... which they wallow in like swine."
The synagogue was a "defiled bride, yes, an incorrigible whore and an evil slut ..."

abu_rashid wrote on Mar 13^th, 2011 at 10:31am:


And what where his views on Islam???

"In 1542, Luther read a Latin translation of the Qur'an. He went on to produce several critical pamphlets on the Islamic faith, which he called Mohammedanism or the Turk. Though Luther saw the Muslim faith as a tool of the devil, he was indifferent to its practice: "Let the Turk believe and live as he will, just as one lets the papacy and other false Christians live." He opposed banning the publication of the Qur'an, wanting it exposed to scrutiny"

Martin Luther apparently didn't like ANY religion, except the one HE started....He seems to have hated Catholics and Muslims just as much as Jews....

abu_rashid wrote on Mar 13^th, 2011 at 2:15pm:



Well sort of....It's more of a highlight of the fact that you only half quote people who hate jews, to advance your hatred of jews, without realising they usually hate Islam just as much...

You mean you've only JUST realised this?

Sheesh you're a tad slow lol

Naturally .. it will all be denied .. as per normal.

It's kinda like banging your head against the same bit of wall time after time after time .. EVERY time you attempt to hold the light into Abu's entrenched darkness.

Denial functions this way so it shouldn't come as any surprise. I know it isn't much of a surprise to the rest of us.
