Yeah. There judicial/extrajudicial murders. There is different levels of manslaughter / accidental killings and such. Then there are the different degrees of murder. Even the mislabeling of products hsve brought “manslaughter” charges…
Anyway, yeah, many many people are either directly, or indirectly related/responsible for someone’s death.
In a sense, by levels of separation, I am indirectly responsible for a couple different people’s death…
Its not something that someone would put blame on me, I mean, I used to party with a lot of people, these people died while “partying”… not while around me, or because of me, but I didnt discourage the “partying” these folks were doing.
Man, Id much rather have this conversation in person. But!
…bananas idea that God shows His love and approval by making one wealthy.
Things can get twisted, mainly because people are involved, and people can twist things for an agenda.
Ya see, wealth can be a by product of living rightly for God. Wealth isnt guaranteed to everyone that is a Christian or a good person. And also, having wealth isnt a sure sign that someone follows God, or is a good person even.
I believe, that if a person lives by Christian principles in work and business that they can be more likely to succeed. Being honest, frugal, diligent, respectful etc. Having such qualities can surely increase someone’s potential successfullness.
I have notes, but the “property gospel” is “on the money”. To turn a phrase.
Thank you so much friend! It isnt common to get such a glowing review around here :). Really put a smile on my face. 😁. (You didnt come off too harsh ;)
And amen let us be His shining light of love! Humbly and meekly of course.
I also hope you and those you love are safe and all get along lovely this season, keep politics off the table ;).
These are the kind of groups that capitalists systematically dismantled and replaced with profiteering megachurches.
I wanted to say something about this because it dont think this has ever happened? Can you give me an example?
People dont go to churches or give money to churches that they believe are profiteering. Ill concede that some large church’s have bad leadership who are greedy, no doubt. But if the congregation assumes something of the like, tithing and attendance is likely going to dry up.
Ok… going to back up, because what you said could be true maybe about the catholic church? or a different denomination maybe? What im talking about is non-denominational churches specifically.
Eck… yeah, I had to delete that last part now… you got me (rightfully) feeling convicted… I didn’t need to add that… so, thanks. That was my earthly flesh self saying that, I wouldnt even actually do that in RL. I probably subconsciously thought that would make me look cool around here.
Walk in to any church thats actin’ right and you can get help volunteering somewhere. Every church ive been a part of has had things like food banks, outreach events, volunteering groups that do just about everything, oh and want to know a sweet secret? Most churches DO have mortgage/rent assistance. The church i go to right now will give anyone 300$/month, for any reason, as long as you actually need it, but you dont really have to verify anything, but for that you do have to be a “member” of the church, and to become a member, you have to come at least once, thats it, just show up once, or twice maybe someplaces.
I agree, there are situations that one shouldnt “give” and other that one shouldn’t take, but that doesnt mean there arent situations of the opposite where one should give, and should take…
