Job, David, Classik etc

[Classik]

After my meeting with Job, David, Jeremiah etc...We are asking the same question: Why do the wicked prosper? Job 21:7 and Jer 12:1, Ps 73:3 and ps 37. Now someone would tell me God is keeping them waiting for them to change? Change!.....when some believers are in agony?

I think that loosely speaking, the wicked proper because it's their reward for being evil. It almost seems like the more evil they are, the more they prosper. In my experience having had run a business for the past 30 years almost, I can easily say that poor people have much more honor than the rich.

They will prosper while on this earth.Then they will have a big surprise when they die.

The wicked play by a different set of rules.

Perhaps you need to reiterate your last sentence. Who ate the rich? The legally rich or illegally rich?

This is very valid, Kathi. However it reminds me of s statement made by a man: it is better to gain in one way (are) than to lose in both ways (area). Seemed more of a political statement.

there's a lot of 'legal' rich who are assigned a place in the lake of fire.

like Jesus says somewhere , you rich have received your comfort already, torment awaits; the poor(faithful) suffer now, comfort will be theirs.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.

i'm curious, answer if you want to,
with all the questions you post, are you seeking something in particular, or even simply greater understanding ?

A lot of situations pop up everyday and I don't hesitate to share them here. And I get real great answers. Greater understanding is the driving force here. (just recently we lost a very good person while the other cruel and wicked colleagues are everywhere jumping up and down.) certain things happen and I keep asking why. At times they are mysterious, maybe, and have no remedies.

 

[His_nee (Jeff)]

good and thank you, and yes, that happens a lot ..... (mysterious things )
(and things 'explained' away, or 'explained wrong' in the news, the truth has to be sought out! )

There is nothing wrong in being prosperous as long as you are seeking a Heavenly crown instead of earthly gain.

Mat 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mat 6:32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Mark 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Mark 8:37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

While I have dealt with both, I was sort of using it as a blanket statement to cover all inasmuch as even the legally rich who pay their bills are whiners because they have been corrupted by the money. In the beginning, when they need me it's different. They're like get it done. Afterwards when it's all fixed, the whining starts. Wah this and wah that, how about a discount, I just paid bills and the kid needs a bike. I tell them my kid needs a bike too.

You know how to tell if someone is planning on paying the bill? They ask (usually repeatedly) how much will the bill be? Will there be any extras? And so forth like that. The rich badger me after the work is done, question most of the use of parts and sometimes come across like, 'can you put a band-aid on it for 20 dollars and guarantee it forever?

He does have a lot of questions, doesn't he? I like them. Classik is our "pop Quiz of the day" here on the forum. LOL

Cool too ---- upon testing (questioning) it was verified he is really seeking answers, not like others asking questions to bait others into something else, or to try (wittingly or not) in a round about way introduce a foreign religion to try to skirt the rules.

I like his questions he posts.They are thought provoking.
