Answer 2

What an interesting question.

Christians tend to be very giving people-- at least those I've known in the United States. But then there is also "prosperity" Christianity, which is popular in the modern day, and advises Christians that their wealth is a result of their strong faith in God.
eh... to me, there's nothing wrong with a Christian having money, because honestly if you want to be generous, you have to have some cash to start with!
And Christians DO give quite a lot of money to charities, there can be no dispute.

Answer 3

No its NOT selfish God gave us the faith to accomplish thses things. People dont accomplish thses things coz of the way THEY think about life. If they think they cant have, then God cant give them coz they dont want.

You CAN'T blame a rich Christian for having soo much if they worked and belived in getting where they are (financially or socially) today can you?


And as a Christian, we MUST pray for others.God said that its the LOVE OF MONEY that is wrong not having it! WE must get things right in life and understand that.

A Christian can worship satan by doing ungodly things.

God bless.

Answer 4

Satan is the Great Deceiver , as described in the bible.
2 Corinthians 11:14 Satan keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.
So sadly the answer is yes , Many think there worshiping God but are in fact worshiping Satan.
Churches are a part of his great deception.

Answer 5

All of us Christians are tempted at times to be very selfish. That is not the same as worshipping satan. To worship satan a person would have to be totally turned away from Jesus Christ and focused on self/satan.

Many of your ideas are Biblically correct, but some are off-base.

As a believer I am to live as Jesus tells me to live. There are many instructions in the Bible. I am to remember the poor and give to help them. I do give to support groups that help the poor and sick. I have always given 10% of my gross income(before taxes) and then given to other purposes as God shows me. He gives me the power to make wealth so I share it as He wants. He hasn't told me and my spouse to be poor. We have a home and 2 cars and have helped our 2 daughters to get started into adult life.

Yes, for me ostentatious wealth and big cars would be a sin. A big house would be too much. But I think to much of the world, my small house would be immense wealth! Yes, I do have to love my enemies, pray for those who hate me and mistreat me. Yep, that is one of the hardest things to do. But, you know, Jesus helped me forgive relatives and several outsiders who molested me in my childhood. I can say that I do not wish any of them harm and would be happy to meet them in heaven. Jesus is so amazing that he could help me escape from the bitterness of abuse!

I wish I knew why you asked your questions. What are you seeking? Do you know God, personally? I wish you could meet Jesus- He is wonderful, amazing.

I met Jesus when I was 18 years old. I was totally bitter, depressed, suicidal. I met some Christians who lived what they said. After watching them I wanted to be like them, so I talked to God and asked Him to come into the mess that was my life. I've been living a new life ever since then. I'm just so glad I met Jesus and didn't kill myself. I came so close to throwing my life away.

Answer 6

No.
The word "worship" has been re-invented for the modern age. It actually refers to a complete religion, including all associated rites. You can only worship something with thought and intention, and through a series of actual religious rites.

Answer 7

God never said loving your enemy was a suicide pact. Also, if you really ready what Jesus said, he was not promoting peace in the world, but battle. Turn the other cheek was not a sign of weakness, it was telling your enemy they were wimps and their blows were weak, thus you say, here, strike this side now you girly man.

Answer 8

1) My car is dying I don't have a BMW
2) I dont have any real enemies to love
3) I'm poor, how can I help other poor people?
4) We do not necessarily have to shun wealth, we just cannot be consumed by our lust for it.

Answer 9

So Jesus worshiped Satan because He ate food?Ridiculous!

Answer 10

Of course. The Jews that opposed Jesus thought they were worshiping God. At John 8:41, they told Jesus: "We have one Father, God." Were they correct? No, for at verse 44, Jesus said to them: "You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father."

At Matt. 7:21-23, Jesus said: "Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness."

Answer 11

Certainly, christians are just hanging by a thread when it comes to faith, I beleive satan easily decieves them.
