God warns not to listen to those who say there is peace without The Lord. I quote from Jeremiah 23 [Spirituality & Religion]

@SirenCalledLuce No it is NOT like a parent, because God knows us and he made us!

@Carazaa I didn’t say parent. I said abusive partner. And that’s exactly what it’s like.

@SirenCalledLuce[b][quote] Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. 5I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.John 15…[/quote][/b]

@Carazaa Or “if you leave me nobody will love you” said every abusive partner ever

@SirenCalledLuce God is Holy and made the world with people to love him and love eachother. But we don't. We are sinful, so he is preparing a new heaven and a new earth for those who are saved where there is no more tears. Jesus was tortured for us because he took all the worlds sins on his shoulders. I love him very much and look forward to heaven very much, even though I have a good life here.

@Carazaa Absolute nonsense.

@SirenCalledLuce I know God and he answers all my prayers! He is very good to me!

@Carazaa Yes there’s no way you could achieve these things for yourself is there. That would be just impossible.

@SirenCalledLuce There is no way that God would have blessed my country and my family generation after generation so beautifully unless we loved him and served him. We have a few pastors and very Godly people and many famous people in my family tree. There are those in my family who don't serve the Lord but even they are helped by all our prayers. God does miracle after miracle every day for me, and I wouldn't be making over $10,000 a month unless he is blessing me.

@SirenCalledLuce Miracles..
🌷
GOD TELLS US IN THE BIBLE.

"“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Josh 1:7

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the LORD Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." Malachi 3:10

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16


Miracle 1
To demonstrate how God has blessed me when I tithe: Here is a story for you. I was young and my husband left me and moved in with a girl down the street. I had two small kids and I cried out to God what can I do to be blessed.
And he showed me the verse in Malachi to tithe, so I gave 10% of my $400 I was making a month at the time. My rent was $550 so I did it on faith because I was going to be super short on rent.
Then a day or so before my rent was due, a lady knocked on my door and said. "I have a gift for you, $22.000 because you gave me a few rides last year to a nursing home." She said "My friend died and he gave me his money in his will, but I don't need it, because I am a millionaire." I could pay my rent. Praise God. He saved me as a little child and I believed in Jesus as Gods Son, but I never knew how important it is to give to God and put him first in everything.

Miracle 2
Another answered prayer was when I was late for work when I was young and drove very fast 80 miles an hour onto a 5 lane freeway packed of cars and had to slam on my brakes because the traffic came to a stop. I couldn't get into the next lane because there was a big truck there so I went spinning around 3 times and yelled "Please don't make me hit anyone God" and my car stopped miraculously exactly parallel less than an inch from the cement divider. The whole freeway stopped for me. I still can't figure how my car didn't hit anyone

Miracle 3 Another miracle was when I worked an hr from my home and wanted to find a job in my profession closer to home. I called my previous supervisor where I had done an internship to ask if he knew anyone hiring! I quit a year before working part time for him because I needed s full time job and none was available. He told me his friend was hiring and called him. His friend called me and said he wanted to interview me because I came with the highest recommendations. I interviewed and he offered me the job. I declined it because I couldn’t pay my bills on the salary he offered. He needed Spanish fluent speakers. But because he had no employees at the time and a lot of work he was willing to hire me even though I wasn’t fluent. But the county couldn’t increase the starting salary so I continued working in my other job for another 2 months. What my boss said when I called back was just miraculous. I called him after a few months to ask if the job was still avsilable. He said yes and no one had called all those months at all so the job was still available and I accepted it. The day after I accepted the job my boss told me that he had so many Spanish speakers call and then he had a full office staff for the company! God held that job for me! I was amazed!

Miracle 4
Another miracle is when I was working for a company and the boss had a problem with me. He had asked me to do something I thought was unethical and I refused, and he asked me to leave. I called a man who had asked me to work with his company on a contract basis a year ago, but he said absolutely, but he had to wait for a go ahead from the landlord to give me an office there. So I tithed on the money I had left that I got from severance pay from my last job and went home to just pray and wait and read my Bible. Well I waited and read for 10 hrs a day for a few months, not applying anywhere else because God told me in my heart not to worry. So he finally called and I moved in to the new office and worked with this company as a contracter. After a month I had $20 in my account and my rent was due. I told the secretary that I couldn't pay my rent at 5 pm probably, but she said its only 10 am, and the rent is not due until 5 pm so don't worry because we had all prayed at the staff meeting. So I went back in my office. At 3 pm a man called and said that he wanted an appointment. I gave him one at 4 pm, and he came. He said I like you and I want to pay for the next few months he gave me a few thousand dollars at 4:50 pm and I could pay my rent at 5pm. That year God increased my pay from $3000 to over $8000 a month. For some its not much but for me it was a lot!

Miracle 5
Another miracle is when I was in Grad school and was diagnosed with leukemia. I quit school and went back home to just pray, rest, and eat better. I never saw a doctor for a year I just prayed and rested and ate better! I went back a year later and the doctor said that I was healthy!

Miracle 6
Another miracle was when I prayed that my Mom would have peace when she died and then a white dove came to my window a minute later and landed on the grass; and then another one came to my window and flew over my house. She died in peace a couple of days later. I asked all my neighbors if they have ever seen white doves here in this town. They have lived here for 70 years and they said. No never. It was a sign from God he answered my prayer. I also prayed my sister would reach her before she died I knew God would keep her alive until she got there. My sister got to her side and held her hand and a minute later she died! The light shined through the window in her room when she took her last breath.

Miracle 7
When my father was in the hospital sick dying I prayed that he would be alive for me to visit him. I had to work 2 weeks before I could leave. Other family members were there until I got there but he was unconscious the whole time. I new that God would keep him alive until I got there. When I walked in his hospital room he woke up. I held his hand for many days and as we talked and prayed and he said that he believed in God. And then he died! God kept him alive so we could have that time together!

Miracle 8.
Another miracle is when this Corona virus happened. I didn't know if I would lose my job or go broke, so I trusted in the Lord and gave double tithing to show God Im trusting you. I made double ever since. It's amazing how God takes care of us.

Miracle 9.
Another miracle is when God says he takes care of our kids, he means it. I can't believe my daughter never got Corona virus when her husband has it, and they sleep together. He took the long test and it is valid.
There are so many things that happen in my life everyday and I will add more miracles to this post as I remember them and as I see how God takes care of me daily. It's a miracle after miracle.

Carazaa

@Carazaa Morvoren asked why you don't just achieve these things for yourself... and [i]as usual[/i] you didn’t answer

Instead, you started rambling on about some country and about your family. Worse, you claimed... on the basis of nothing whatsoever... that if it were not for your mafia boss then good things would not have happened.

Of course, you then tried to cover your deception and evasion by relating a series of everyday events and trying to attribute them to your magical entity rather than to happenstance.

Do you have the slightest understanding of Confirmation Bias?

@newjaninev2 I hope you have a nice day🤗

@Carazaa Will you be answering Morvoren’s question anytime soon (or ever)?

@SirenCalledLuce [quote]Absolute nonsense.[/quote]
Absolute dangerous nonsense is more accurate.

@NortiusMaximus It is very dangerous when people say peace and safety, when there is no safety in trusting in idols of gold, or false religions. Many Christian pastors are saying what people want to hear to receive popularity, and this is why Jesus says,

"[[c=#BF0000]b]You say I preached in your name but I will say in that day "I never knew you"[/b][/c]

The Bible tells us the truth, that we are sinners and need a savior. Jesus is our only savior, Jesus is our hope. Many people are suicidal now and wonder what is going on in the world, but God tells us and with him we have hope. He saved my life when I had no hope many, many years ago. And he made my life successful and happy. He restored it.

@Carazaa [quote]The Bible tells us the truth,[/quote]
That's rubbish. It's just a collection of myths, put together to control the peasants.

@NortiusMaximus

So that's why the Christians who follow the Bible are successful? Why most Nobel winners come from Christian families? Why the Christian countries have blessings?

I give more and more each year to missions and I make more and more so its a coincident?

Rubbish!! It is not a coincident, its God blessing me.

@Carazaa [quote]Christians who follow the Bible are successful[/quote]

By what criteria are you defining success? How do you identify such people, and is their success rate significantly different from the general population?

[quote]Why most Nobel winners come from Christian families[/quote]

How do you know? Is the rate of such Nobel winners significantly higher than that of the general population. How are you defining and identifying ‘christian families’?

[quote]the Christian countries have blessings[/quote]

What do you mean by ‘blessing’? Does that refer to things you would like... are you defining it using yourself as the base reference?

Presumption and arrogance at every turn!

@newjaninev2 Blessings like happy families, good paying jobs, they live long happy lives, not plagued by hunger or deceases. God gives them the desires of their hearts, he opens doors for them when they pray. Stuff like that. I did a whole post of successful families a year or so ago. My own family is a miracle story in itself. My great grandpas were pastors and authors, and their kids lived amazing lives, so blessed, and their kids my parents lived the best life. My Dad the most amazing man I have ever known so loving, world scientist, poet, jazz pianist, and loved by all!

@Carazaa so in what way is that different from the prevailing societal norm?

Are you claiming that happy, healthy, families would not be found in those societies?

@Carazaa How do you explain countries like Saudi Arabia that are wealthy and whose leaders live long healthy lives? Or Japan which is mostly atheist and Shinto? Or the violence and poverty in Christian countries like Haiti and Honduras?

@newjaninev2 That's right they have more poverty, deceases, fighting, and homelessness. God blesses us when we do what he says in the Bible, when we repent and trust in Jesus, love and forgive everyone, and work hard!

@Carazaa you were talking about specific families and now you’re suddenly talking about entire countries.

Which is it to be?

@newjaninev2 She's shiting the goalposts as uaual.

@NortiusMaximus A common creationist tactic... tediously predictable.
