Somehow you take simple Scriptural truths and carry them forward into absurdity. Does that satisfy you? Because it perverts the meaning of the Gospel.

God indeed gives us all we have. Paul tells us that. If it comes down to believing you or Paul, I'm with Paul and historic Christianity.

"For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?" -- 1 Corinthians 4:7


"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation" -- Acts 17:24-26


"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." -- Colossians 1:16-17


"The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them." -- Proverbs 20:12


"But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you." -- John 10:26

Genetics decide which color hair and eyes you will have Dr. E. This is not 1st century Palestine or the OT magic land. They believed what they believed and I can't fault them for not knowing any better. But we do.

What is your view of heaven and life in it? Why would our looks and the color of our eyes matter to God?

The trouble is, is that it is not historic Christianity. You do provide a snippet of Paul, of Luke (Acts), Proverbs, and a total out of context John as proof.

There is no NT support that wealth and status are indications of the favour of God. Where do you guys pull your doctrines from? You guys cannot get it right on anything. An example is your heretical post on the Rosary thread. How can you possibly lay claim to even being Christian?
