RM,
how does the rest of the quote change anything? I focused on the part that made me curious.

Try not to take the Bible out of context. The Bible is a Spiritual book not a carnal book. When you read the Bible everyday continuously, your soul and spirit will start to move in line with the Holy Spirit. Then when you are Born Again, The Holy Ghost will tell you what scriptures like Proverbs 30:8 actually means.

kinda. But I'd prefer to be in the higher middle class. that way (like the rest of the proverb says) I wouldn't get proud as I know there are many above me, and I wouldn't feel inferior, cause I'm not struggling.

The whole things says:
Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
You forgot the beginning and the end of it.

Absolutely. Being poor is no fun, but then obtaining riches and losing it after being spoiled rotten to it has to be by far worse than being poor to start with. Middle of the road is far better.

Well, I've tried poverty. Let me try riches for a while, then I'll be able to give you a better comparison.

Yes. That is pretty much the "Deliver me from evil" in the Lords prayer. (or at least some of it)

Jesus came and wiped away Jewish laws
Jesus says: If you want to inherit the kingdom of heaven, give up everything you have and follow me.
