I have the strong feeling that you have raised a question already brought out by many smart people. Our brain was equipped with senses of knowing what we think is right or not right. The God of the Bible made a list of where to base our choices in life in being righteous according to His commands. In order that you do not follow the law blindly, He gave you logical and intuitive senses to know which of these two right things in your mind should weigh more. Most of the time God would expect you to do the right thing according what is needed at present that may be of value for many or for greater good for all. It does not contradict any intuition with the Bible. The Bible simply wrote the guides for what you may choose to do with your life that He will Bless and what you defy to follow that He may curse.

Maybe because contrary to popular belief,God did not write the bible.Maybe the concept of God is distorted.Maybe the bible,and the information in it that was CHOSEN by MEN is where the contradiction begins

Because if you knew everything you wouldn't exactly depend on Him anymore. Meaning, you'll think that you don't need Him. And as humans we tend to think that way- that we don't need Him. But when you think about it, as a human we know how messed up we are. I would think I like my chances of having someone know more than I do. And God knows everything and that's the god I'd like to depend on. Not on myself- why should I? I know how hypocritical I can be therefore I do not want to depend on my own intuition.

ok, what Jesus grew to become into asserting grew to become into, that funds should not be all substantial to you. you will desire to not stay just to make it. there is not any situation being profitable in any respect. yet yet another factor Jesus made grew to become into, its worry-free for somebody with a number of it to maintain on with God, yet confusing for somebody devoid of lots. consequently it skill extra to God whilst a undesirable individual follows Him than whilst a prosperous individual does because of the fact this is harder. So its stable that when you have extra funds to grant to stable motives, charities and such, yet not regardless of if it is not some thing you do not want to do, because of the fact Jesus reported God needs you to be truthful, and not giving you funds away isn't a sin. Hoarding that's. that's named greed.

I think that you may be simply trying to find contradiction in the Bible. If one takes the Bible in its proper context and interprets it in light of the culture in which it was written, one will see that there is no contradiction.

You know if I wanted to scroll somewhere else on the internet I would, stop sending links and try making a coherent point once in awhile. Do you have any orginal thoughts or do you just borrow from smarter people?
