Reply #21: What God has to say on any subject is easy to find if one is willing. [View All]

God is a God of free will, He doesn't force anyone to do or give money or property to anyone, especially Him. To say otherwise is to mislead the unlearned. The Bible is very clear re: ownership.

Peter says in Acts 5:4
"While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."


The teaching of Jesus concerning judging others and doing the same thing youselves:
Mt 7:3
"Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye ?

Mt 7:4
"Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye ?

Mt 7:5
"You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Lu 6:41
"Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye ?

Lu 6:42
"Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye ? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

And the Apostle Paul on the subject:

Romans 2:3
But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?
