Robert Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Proverbs 22:7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender. 8 Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity, and the power they wield in fury will be broken....16 One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty. Ezekiel 16:49 "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy." Ecclesiastes 5:10 "Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless." James 5:1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you. - Quote

LifeHiscost Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 With the condition of all the world wide economies, along with the dysfunction of a lot of things in our lives today, everybody wants to understand - are we truly living in the end times as prophesied from our Bible? There's one method to know for sure, and that's to study the signs that the Bible claimed would happen shortly before Jesus comes down again to us. Based on the Bible, here are some of the miscellaneous signs that will take place before Jesus comes back down to us: a. Perilous moments will arrive. b. False Christs and False Prophets will arrive to con including the elect. c. Wars and rumors of wars. d. Nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom. e. Increased famines, pestilences and also earthquakes. f. Lawlessness and immorality will abound. g. The love of many will grow cold. h. Many Christians will depart from the faith giving attention to deceiving spirits and also doctrines of demons. i. Men will become lovers of self, lovers of money, unholy, proud, boasters, blasphemers, unloving, disobedient to mothers and fathers, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, traitors, headstrong, lovers of delight as opposed to lovers of God and also ungrateful. j. The Holy Spirit will be poured out on all flesh. k. The Gospel of Jesus Christ will taught to the whole world and then the end arrives. l. God will open up end time prediction for all to know and also translate so as to plan for His next coming. Those indicators were given to us in Matthew 24:24, Matthew 24: 3-14, 2 Timothy 3:1, and 1 Timothy 4:1. If you look very carefully at some of these signs, a lot of them are actually happening. Granted, a few of them had already been taking place over the history of the world, many of them are escalating in number and intensity. All you need to do is see the daily news which is one scary story after another. Those who study Bible prophecy believe we're truly living in the end times as prophesied in the Bible. Only time will tell when the 7 year Great Tribulation will come upon us. God is Love! Jesus saves! Quote Lift Jesus up!!

Administrators Gail Posted April 18, 2015 Administrators Posted April 18, 2015 While the Israelites were permitted to plunder those vanquished in battle they were enjoined to treat the poor and immigrants with respect. They were to remember their sojourn in the land of Egypt and the hardships they faced while there. God also had a special regard for widows and the fatherless. There are many fatherless homes in our world today Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Robert Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 Proverbs 22:16 One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty. In modern terminology this might read: "One who exploits the poor to increase his wealth and the lobbyist who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty." Quote
