I feel like you didn't like the question, I just wanted to point out "ALLOW" and if we Allow god to not help, then we are helping others take advantage of us.

The Pastor
I did put the blame in the correct place, man allows god, and yes I know our money is only a bill, fake, a stroke of the pen

Answer 1

Seek not for Riches but for wisdom and behold the mysteries of god shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made rich. Behold he that hath eternal life is rich.

D&C 11:7

Answer 2

I know many Christians ask this same question. I am very poor by this worlds standards. And sometimes I too have a problem with it. But the truth is the truth.
Lets say someone wins the Tennessee Lottery 300 million dollars, are they rich? Most people in a heart beat would say, yes. However that is not the truth. The hard core truth is the U.S. dollar is completely fake, worthless and are IOU's credit money. That's why the U.S. dollar is called a dollar "bill". A bill is something you pay. It is impossible to pay a bill with a bill. On the U.S. dollars it reads, " This Note is legal tender for debts public and private" A note is a promise to pay ( a bill ). What the winner of the Tennessee Lottery won, was 300 million bills to pay. I am poor, but I don't have 300 million bills to pay. Do you? I don't blame Jesus he's not doing it, the bankers are. Put blame where it goes.

Answer 3

OK Grasshopper-here it is:

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is generally the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself, adds no quality to the coffee in most cases, just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we
drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... and then began eyeing each other's cups."

"Now consider this: Life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."

God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... enjoy your coffee.

Answer 4

Where did you learn that? When a rich man asked him how he could follow Jesus. ? No, it sounds literal as the writings but somehow it meant that you do not have to be so attached to your possessions. If the churches did not allow man to be wealthy, perhaps you will not see any church being built so huge and with all bejewelled altars and icons if not for the rich contributions. The money of the poor will not be enough to build palaces for Pope and the priests so they have encourage man to be wealthy just do not be stingy. If the Church allows you to be wealthy what more of God who made you to be happy. He just said money is not only source of happiness. but I do not beleive he ever said stay poor.

Answer 5

Hey, it's not what you have now, it's what you have for eternity.
If I have to go through a few years of being poor during my life, but after wards get rewarded with an eternity of more wealth than the richest people on the planet combined could ever even imagine, then YEAH...I'll suffer a few years of being poor.
And I would definitely NOT choose a few short years of mild wealthiness here on earth, for an eternity of Hell...would you? I mean, really...would you?

Answer 6

Who said God keep anybody from being wealthy? God don't care if you are poor or rich. He has offered a free gift of salvation. The Lord Jesus Christ died for your sins believe and trust in that and you want worry about who is rich. Don't blame God for your what you are doing. Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Answer 7

YOU keep yourself from achieving greatness, wealth and whatever else you say you want in life. MAN (or religious leaders under the direction of the rich and powerful) made those excuses for people to be happy with the lot they were born in, for slaves and the Native Americans they forced to work for free... and not to aspire to improve themselves through education and self-employment.

Answer 8

Servitude towards Almighty God doesn't focus on earthly materials, it is only focused on what God wants. Everything is going to fade away anyway.

Answer 9

We are only paasing through here anyways. Why try and be rich for now when I can be rich in Heaven with the Almighty?

Answer 10

If you have Jesus you have it all. God give you anything if you only ask. We are rich in his word and eternal life. Worldy possessions are only wordly and moths eat them up and they rust. Eternal life is a rich life-- READ the BIBLE God Bless you-
