There is nothing I like about This World Absolutely Nothing, There is Nothing Here All is Vanity Vanity We are nothing but Strangers and Pilgrims

Hebrews 11

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them’ embraced them, and confessed that they were “Strangers & Pilgrims” on The Earth.

For They That Say Such Things declared “Plainly That They Seek a [another] Country

[when I read my Bible, I Seek Another Country.

When I lay down at Night, I seek Another Country.

When I Close My Eyes, LORD knows, I Seek Another Country.

When I Dream, LORD knows I Lone For That Country.

They desired a better country, that
Is, an heavenly: wherefore GOD is not ashamed to be called their GOD: For HE Hath “PREPARED” for Them a City.

“By Faith Moses, when he was come to years refused To be called the son of Pharaoh’s Daughter.”

“Choosing rather to Suffer affliction with the People of GOD, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season”

Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches that the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recommence of The Reward.”

By Faith He Forsook Egypt, not Fearing the Wrath of The King; for he endured, “as seeing him who is Invisible.”

 

[Gregoryp]

And this is why I avoid organised religion, I dont socialise with people, have no friends, and my "appearance" demonstrates who we truly are (created beings, animals blessed with intellect and understanding). Only for the love of God are we more than animals in his eyes and heart. You wont find that humility or understanding in the world, that's for sure.

“They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

They wandered in deserts, and on mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not The “Promise”:

GOD having provide some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

The prosperity gospel and the blasphemy of becoming rich through religion will burn up with the wicked as well.

 

[Gregoryp]

There are very few real christians, fake ones are a dime a dozen. They are lovers of the world and have added Jesus into the mix. No, Jesus is the life, the world is merely for us real christians to purchase food and supply shelter, nothing more than that. That doesnt mean you dont go to Dido concerts, or go see a soccer grandfinal etc. Look at the book of Job, Daniel, Joseph , David, Solomon. None of those were paupers, but all had God first. The world is not the answer, Jesus is.

Proverbs 11:4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

Proverbs 22:1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favour is better than silver or gold.

Proverbs 23:4 Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist.
23:5 When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven.
