God is your personal genie.You should never be sick or poor, right?

Question

The Devil has infiltrated the professed church with manmade traditions and false doctrine.

Hating evil and loving the Lord is what the Bible says and yet you do nothing for mankind because you pass it off as free will.

Only when you start living holy can you know what true praise is.

RIGHTEOUS son of the living God. You will be a living miracle. Know you not that the Bible says, "As he is, so are we in this world," and in another place, we are to be "partakers of the divine nature"? Why is it so rare that we see a Christian manifesting forth the attributes of God?

Many people profess to know Christ, but in works they DENY Him. ...as a result, they will find themselves REJECTED.

Paul McDonald these are questions.

Answer 1

Your absolutely right. Many Christians use the title 'Christian' as a badge to suit their own agendas. Remember the words of St. Peter....

"Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin," (1 Peter 4:1)

Answer 2

Error entered the world when Adam and Eve rebelled against God and partook of the forbidden fruit. This why we age, get sick and die. This is why poverty, want and famine exists. It has nothing to do with a 'genie.' To compare God to a genie is blasphemy.

I was going to leave it at that, but then you continued from your wealth of ignorance...

Jesus empowered His Church with the Holy Spirit and He promised to remain with His Church forever. He also promised that the 'gates of hell' would not prevail against His Church. Since you say, quote: "The Devil has infiltrated the professed church with manmade traditions and false doctrine." Then you are saying that:

1. Jesus lied when he said 'the gates of hell will not prevail against my Church.'

and:

2. Jesus didn't know what He was doing when he commissioned His Church to teach all things and promised to remain with His Church forever.

Did you know that the Catholic Church predates the Bible by 400 years? Do you even know that it was the Catholic Church that gave birth to the Bible, not the other way around? Do you know why the Catholic Church teaches 'from the Bible' and from without? Because Jesus commanded His Church to "teach all things," not just what's in the Bible. The Christian Bible didn't even exist during Christ's time, much less the KJV.

Hatred is not of God, nor is the spirit of rebellion. Still the spirit of rebellion came calling again, during the ‘Protestant Reformation.’

If want answers, go to the source not to those who hate the Catholic Church and deny the Truth.

Answer 3

Christians do not manifest the attributes of God because we are not God. we are to be like Christ as much as possible, but we are still human. Your holier-than-thou attitude smacks of pure arrogance, which is an attribute of the devil. Obviously, you have never be3en to a spirit-filled church where God is worshiped in truth and in faith. Get off your soapbox and humble yourself before the Lord, and stop blaspheming the Holy Spirit with you New Age mambo-jumbo. Jesus loves you.

Answer 4

Actually, Paul points out in Ephesians that no one will be judged on works so that no one can boast; as long as you have accepted Jesus into your heart, your sins will be forgiven. And let us not forget the fact that we are all sinners by nature.

So technically, according to the King James Version, the Good News Bible, and the Living Bible (those are all I have on hand), Jesus did and does all the work for us, and there really is no such thing as leading a holier life than others.

Answer 5

I'm not sure what your question is. If it is that because you know God you should never be sick or poor then I think you should go and read your Bible again. The disciples were poor and Paul professes to have a "thorn in his side". What this thorn was we don't know but when he asked God to take it away God said "No, my grace is sufficient for you" God is not your personal genie granting every wish you ask for. That is absolute nonsense and not Biblical. His will, not yours.

Answer 6

In the spirit that is right but in the flesh, these physical bodies we are subject to these things because we have 2 mysteries in operation, righteousness and iniquity. Even when the Messiah brought Lazarus back from the dead he had to still die a physical death. These bodies were never meant to last forever and in time they will get sick and die. Your soul is why the Messiah died on the cross and in him you will never be sick or poor if he is resurrected within you. He says ...in the world you SHALL HAVE tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world...John 16:33, I Corinthians 6:19-20

Answer 7

Never think of GOD as a genie, because we were created to worship him. And if you put him first you'll have everything you need. But we will have afflictions like sickness and no money and even family coming against us, but that's all to make us strong! And we rarely see "believers" letting GOD have control because they let (them)self get in the way.

Answer 8

Do you really think that God has nothing better to do in life than to look after us? He is GOD not your servant.What makes us humans so special? Just because we wrote a book and called it Bible? I dont think he even has the time to accept or reject us. Its like a Kuwaiti thinking that George Bush is there to protect him just beccause he intervenes everytime there is some country trying to attack it. Does he even realise that he is only after the oil in Kuwait?

Answer 9

You have asked several questions...all of them prove that you have infantile understanding of Christian theology. Since you are so combative and prove to know all of the answers of religion (I'll bet you have a least a college education), there is no need in answering you.

I'll remain in my ignorance...I pray that you will become ignorant like me as well.

Answer 10

You are supposed to ask quesitons. You didn't

Therefore, I reported you. And I even agree with you.

Why would you think that God is your "personal genie" ??? Is that all He is to you?
