You cannot serve both God and Money. Matthew 6:24 (NIV)

Then serve neither and walk on your own two feet.

"The Bible as we have it contains elements that are scientifically incorrect or even morally repugnant. No amount of
'explaining away' can convince us that such passages are the product of Divine Wisdom."
-- Bernard J. Bamberger

I missed you.

[JediJohnnie]

Galatians 6:7-10 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Galatians 6:7-10 Do not be deceived

If you believe in such religious superstitions, you already have been deceived.

"The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence."

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

No, there is no evidence to support that contention.

Matthew 5:11-12

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

Promises, promises ... and at some point, these duplicate 'biblical verses' become repetitious, (especially when repeated simply as proselytizing).

"There is a story, which is fairly well known, about when the missionaries came to Africa.  They had the Bible and we, the natives, had the land.  They said "Let us pray," and we dutifully shut our eyes.  When we opened them, why, they now had the land and we had the Bible."

You would certainly know about repetition...

You would certainly know about repetition...

That's because I see it every time a religious adherent posts the same superstitious beliefs, (then they expect a different response to their repetitions). Doubtless the circularity is non-ironic.

Pardon me for not posting something new for you to respond to....I was just reading and came across this verse and posted it. I didn't go back through this entire thread to see if it had been previously posted......jeez!!

Well, that's one of the inherent problems in reposting biblical verses over and over; repetition is inevitible.  Since such isn't prohibited, don't be too concerned about any recyclings of dissenting viewpoints either.

I never said anything about your "recyclings".....it's to be expected.

Sometimes recycling is a good idea, others times - not so much.
