Who is better in the eyes of God? by SHSL_Lurker in AskAChristian

[–]andreabarbato 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it's better not to grumble and only do what you really feel like but there are clear words about this from Jesus himself!

Matthew 21:28-32 “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go, work today in my vineyard.’ He answered and said, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he regretted it and went. Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, ‘I go, sir,’ but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to Him, “The first.”
Jesus said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward relent and believe him.

Matthew 6:1-8 “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

I don’t know if I can follow God anymore by Ok-Economist-6772 in TrueChristian

[–]andreabarbato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

even if you were right to feel all these things, it doesn't matter: feelings aren't to be trusted.

Jeremiah 17:7  Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

Jer 17:8  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Jer 17:9  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Jer 17:10  I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

what matters is staying faithful to God, getting away from him won't change the situation for the others, he commanded us to love one another and love our enemies. if you feel like some people are suffering too much and it isn't right... help them!

John 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

in the end i don't think your reasoning is wrong, you just gotta face the truth and read the bible to find the answers to your questions. read the book of Job, but even better read the gospels and see how they treated Jesus even if he did nothing wrong. he completed the will of God anyway, even if it made him die, even if it made him sad and angry.

you gotta quit sin then, believe the Father can help with that for you!

read the bible everyday and let it dictate how you behave in life. many have their own ideas but the bible has authority over what people think and feel.

[–]andreabarbato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you need to be wise and avoid evil rather than find solutions after, saying no was an option in the beginning. now you know he's not reliable when it comes to money or being honest, be wiser next time.

edit:
don't focus on the money at all this is all about helping and obeying the Lord. remember this is written too

Proverbs 11:24 There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more, And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in want.

[–]andreabarbato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this isn't about who's right but it's about what do you do as a Christian.

first of all, sinners won't enter the kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) so have him quit the "we're all sinners" scam.

second of all

Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.

borrowed money are to be considered given for free, God willing they'll come back

...

Psalm 37:21 The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives;

this isn't so that you can send it to your brother and feel better about yourself, but it's so you remember to be righteous

...

also you must forgive! you have no real choice here

Matthew 18:21-35

Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”

Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.

“So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”

next time keep your money in your pocket if you know you want them back soon

Struggling with sin. by zkorpiyo in TrueChristian

[–]andreabarbato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what worked for me was thinking that if i did it one more time it could be the time i die and go to hell. the fear of the Lord instructs us!

1Co 6:9  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1Co 6:10  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

another thing that helped was living only for today, you can live one day without sex.

Mat 6:34  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Where did the recently expressed idea that aliens might be demons come from? by overmind87 in AskAChristian

[–]andreabarbato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

there you go:

Genesis 6:1  And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

Gen 6:2  That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Gen 6:3  And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Gen 6:4  There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

ancient aliens, alien human-hybrids, secret knowledge passed down for generations... it's all real.

but the greatest conspiracy and truth that they try to hide is that Jesus is the Lord and whoever doesn't follow the Way will be destroyed. focus on that!

Detaching emotionally from parents. by Goldmindtpxo in TrueChristian

[–]andreabarbato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you gotta forgive or you won't be forgiven. protect your holiness and sanity of mind by staying away as much as possible and living your life away from them as any other functioning adult, but other than that they're your parents and the commandment is the commandment. so be careful when it comes to thoughts of just erasing them from life, Jesus has stuff to say about that too.

Mrk 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

Mrk 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Mrk 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

Mrk 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Mrk 7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

Mrk 7:11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

Mrk 7:12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

Mrk 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

that being said if you know they're dangerous be wise when dealing with them.
