Yes, God does Bless us Financially – I’m Proof

I received a letter from The Social Security administration; they had made some kind of mistake in calculating the benefits due to my daughter and I. They had corrected the mistake, and had deposited over $1,800 into my checking account.

No, the devil blessed RF engineer with hatred, a judgmental attitude and yes - a jealous spirit.

Fix it.

I agree. Day 6 for the wife where getting out of bed is a chore just to hit the head and return to the bed..

Been getting denial letters for 2 years now. Soon, we’ll be out of chances to appeal.

Then I think the whole game starts all over again.

I got evaced out of Viet Nam in August 1968 never saw a paycheck after, discharged in December.

“You are sadly mistaken - God will bless through any means He so chooses.”

God will not enslave and punish one to reward another. No way.

Again, that doctrine is one of God smites the taxpayer/worker and rewards the taker/non-worker. That is fine to self-delude that you are really enjoying “God’s bounty” but it also simply is not so.

God does not use government programs to “bless” people.

[RFEngineer]

“God can do what ever He wants. That’s part of His job description.”

God certainly can, but He will not punish and enslave one to benefit another through government programs that are inherently evil.

He COULD, but He would then not be a fair and just God, merely a symbolic figurehead of an oppressive government regime that would be evil.

You’re going to have to do better than “God can do whatever he wants” to justify receiving God’s bounty through a government check.

There are so many things wrong with this doctrine, it’s impossible to list.

The negative response on this thread is just amazing. It turned into rants against social security not how the Good Lord can help. .

I come from a prayering family. My mother prayered all the time for real answers in a real world. Literally miracles at times .

"Virtues are formed by prayer.

Prayer preserves temperance.

Prayer suppresses anger.

Prayer prevents emotions of pride and envy.

Prayer draws into the soul the Holy Spirit, and raises man to Heaven."

-- St Ephraem

Call it what you want, I don’t consider posting stories, particularly about God’s grace “blog pimping.” I will continue to post on here if and until I am told by the administrators of the site that I cannot. Deal with it. That’s why we have a scroll button on the mouse. No one is making you read my blog.

Who says God must adhere to your definition of “fair.”

Have you ever read the story of Esther? Did she have any choice concerning her relationship with the King?

How about the letters written by Paul when he was imprisoned? He was constantly arrested and beaten.

Read through the book of Acts. The Apostles were constantly beaten and abused. God worked through these situations for His own Glory. In at least one instance, a jailor was converted by Peter.

To this day, Christians are abused and persecuted throughout the world, particularly in Moslem areas.

You really have it in for bloggers. I’m a “user” because I post a story about financial blessings, that I wish to share with others? Like I said elswehere, until I’m told by administrators, which you are not, not to post here, I will continute to do so. You don’t like blogs or bloggers? Don’t read their posts.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

Read Matthew 20.

Tell me if you call the treatment of the workers “fair.”

A lot of liberals would scream “Exploitation of the workers! Unfair!”

Fair is a place you go to eat cotton candy and step in monkey poop. That would make a great “Tagline!”

[humblegunner]

Damn that's ignorant.
Post from your ratty blog all you wish, just don't excerpt it. Post the whole mess here.

That way, more people will read your stuff without having to visit some lame virus infected blog.

I don’t consider posting stories, particularly about God’s grace “blog pimping.”

You didn't post it, sweetiecakes. You excerpted it.

[Cruising For Freedom]

Yes, from the anecdotal evidence I hear, it’s all about hiring the best lawyer, not about the actual merits of the disability. I hope your friends get the relief they need.

[RFEngineer]

These examples have nothing to do with getting a government check. Men with God-given free will are often cruel to other men.

"Like I said elswehere, until I’m told by administrators, which you are not, not to post here, I will continute to do so."

It's good to hear that you will respect the wishes of the Admins. I presume that would extend to the site owner as well, eh?

In that spirit, here is a post from Jim Robinson on this very subject.

And here's the relevant text found at that link: "“I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.

If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.”

Just in case that wasn't plain enough for you, here's a whole thread that Mr. Robinson posted on the same subject.

And again, the relevant text: " Many times bloggers will post brief snippets only of their material and expect our readers to click on their link to get the "rest of the story" and then very seldom join in on the conversation that follows. No doubt this can give a blogger a few dozen extra hits and sometimes a little more, but unfortunately, it also raises the ire of some of our members.

If you would like to see your blog make it to the big times, and you have great news or great ideas to report, post your blog articles in their entirety to our Bloggers Forum on FR, and then join in on the fight for Liberty that follows!! If our readers like what you're posting, you may quickly become an accepted, trusted FReeper and you may start enjoying hundreds of new hits per each of your posted articles from FReepers who wish to see what else you may have to offer."

So I guess we can look forward to your unexcerpted posts in the future.

So, once again you are playing God and telling Him who he can bless and through what means. I seriously doubt that you even know God - let alone speak for Him.

“So, once again you are playing God and telling Him who he can bless and through what means. I seriously doubt that you even know God - let alone speak for Him.”

Anyone who can’t tell the difference between a “blessing from God” and a government check is not likely to know much about anything, much less be able to contemplate the nature of God.

[Catsrus]

You are so stupid and errant in the Word of God - God is in favor of governments - not communistic, etc., but I suggest you read your Bible and stop spewing stupidity.

[RFEngineer]

“You are so stupid and errant in the Word of God - God is in favor of governments - not communistic, etc., but I suggest you read your Bible and stop spewing stupidity.”

Take your Prosperity Theology nonsense to the welfare office and get your food stamps. Afterall, if God didn’t want you to have them, why would he “bless” you with them?

I suggest you put your Bible down long enough to look for a job, which God is also in favor of, instead of waiting for the blessings of the welfare state to rain down upon you so you can heap them all together and claim to be a high-priest of big government/god by virtue of standing on the backs of hard working taxpaying God-fearing American patriots!

[InHisService]

LOL. You must have a LOT of time on your hands to search for these statements and take the time to post here. Have you no better things to do then creep through the site like some kind of blogger police, wiping out bloggers who post excerpts? Seriously, it’s ridiculous.

However, now that I see what the owner has said, that is, unless you made it up or it has changed since he posted that, I will no longer post from my blog here, excerpted or not. I play by MY rules. Their loss. Be assured I am not doing it because of those of you who feel the need to constantly annoy, belittle and plain aggravate me and other bloggers by your obsession to wipe out blog excerpts, but rather, out of respect for the owner of this site.

You can all smirk and back slap now that you have won this little battle and go on in your neon colored caped crusader anti-blogger-excerpt costumes to pester other bloggers. Congratulations!
