ps I've always been this indigenious. Brian he native american to some, but not as much as me...........but his grandma was a part of a native american beadwork club (their families tribes club) and his dad when covid happened got a call from the like leader of the native american embassy or whatever official building of portland. I try and explain.........................god made everything................
he called it good
people corrupted things on earth
all things right are supposed to become "new"
ep I stink at explaining things 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
(by that I don't mean sin ain't sin, the corrupt is corrupt, stealing, gossiping, lieing, cheating, etc.)
God gave me better understanding about the idea of departing from iniquity 2 Timothy 2:19. I used to think that meant don't drive fancy cars, wear fancy clothing, but I've since learned it ain't so much what you drive or wear ------ but do you show mercy to the less fortunate ------ are you charitable. Cause the rich man and Lazarus in the bible, the rich man went to hell not because he had money that wasn't why - because outside his house was a guy with soars being licked by dogs and the rich man had money and means to get that guy food................at least food.....................instead he threw out some scraps it looks like in the bible when he actually had enough money TO GIVE LAZERUS A MEAL A REAL MEAL...........................
verses talked about in video above..................
Proverbs 16:6 "By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil."
2 Timothy 2:19 "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
When 2 Timothy 2:19 is saying "depart from iniquity" I don't believe it's saying depart from having a nice car, or nice house, or nice clothing..........instead it's saying depart from not showing people less fortunate then you MERCY AND REAL MERCY AT THAT THAT RICH GUY IN THE BIBLE IT WOULD'VE BEEN SO EASY FOR HIM TO GIVE LAZERUS A REAL MEAL EVERYDAY THAT WOULDN'T OF EVEN TOOK A DENT INTO WHAT ALL THAT RICH GUY ACTUALLY OWNED.
Luke 16:20-25 "And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented."
And you might think "well this is just a story for the rich" - no it's for all of us.
Cause later in the bible Jesus tells the workers of iniquity.............................
Matthew 25:41-46 "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."
I didn't tell myself this stuffs either
god laid this shiz on my heart
this whole idea that being rich doesn't necessarily send on to hell
or OR having nice cars, or nice house
what sends people to hell is not showing mercy
all the law of the prohets the bible says........................................
Matthew 22:36-40 "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." - that's it right there
and loving our neighbors often entails showing mercy to them - being charitable
yesterday ---------- we went to 5 below and I bought another diamond painting 😁. It was packed with people, most people can't afford some these high inflation prices in some the store these days.
