They actually said they had enough money to buy food for thousands if you remember. And Jesus didn't want them to go so God supplied it. It had nothing to do with money and everything to do with hearing the word of God. That alone shows they had money. I don't have money to feed thousands. 😕...

There is a spiritual meaning to that... bc God already provided the lamb, Jesus. And even if they were very poor, that was before the caravan of treasure was brought to him anyways. So it really doesn't give us as much info as they're saying online.

That's a good point. But then again Jesus said let the dead bury the dead and knew he was going to rise in 3 days so maybe that's why he didn't pay for it or his family didn't? 🤔 That doesn't say he was poor and considering how against death he was it's not surprising he took no part in the...

Because Jesus being rich changes literally everything. I grew up my whole life being told and believing Jesus was poor. Little baby born in a barn, poor, and then beaten and killed. I remember telling God why did you make him suffer so much?! That is not a God of blessing and life. What was...

God didn't say not to work for money if you're rich. I'm not sure Jesus was hated when younger. He was invited to a wedding. In those days they didn't invite the poor to weddings hence.... this verse. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you...

Okay, here it goes: For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9 Passage doesn't say he was rich in heaven. It says he was rich. Vast caravans of camels will...

We were told he was rich. It's man who is changing the words. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9 It literally says he was rich... not rich in heaven...

I just want to know what's right. And I've been looking in the bible and it seems like they've been lying to me my whole life. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. 2...

Joseph was the carpenter, which would have been a very successful career choice then. Jesus was also a carpenter.... the creator of the world would have some skills in it right? So they would have made a ton of money off just that. He didn't do his ministry until his 30s. So he was a carpenter...

No one can answer this question. How can Jesus be poor if he's being given a multitude of gold from the wise men? Why do we only believe the story we are told at Christmas and not ever question parts of it? Poor people don't get gold handed over to them as a baby. It was handed to him bc he...

They didn't really have the middle class back then though. Jesus received a multitude of gold.... think a caravan of gold. I just don't understand how people could say he was poor. He had times in his life where he lived poor. (Being put in a manger and in the wilderness) Even the...

Being poor doesn't give you peace either. Just ask the homeless person living under a bridge. There's a lot of anxiety being poor. Being wealthy means you're able to help more people. How can you help people when you're poor? You can volunteer your time (if you're not working) but you can't...

Earth is poor compared to Heaven though. That's relative. Besides that it has more of a spiritual reference than economic. I don't ever just believe in something and move on. What a dumb way to go through life. Might as well listen to the media while I'm at it. It's impossible he was...

Your mention of Gandhi is exactly my point. That's NOT christian. My theory is that Jesus was VERY wealthy and that abundance flows from God. Why is that important? Because we're taught Jesus was poor and so if we're successful in life we are holding a double life in our subconscious, thinking...

You forgot the important part though. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?” 26 “From others,” Peter answered. “Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27 “But so that we may not...

I watched a pastor on YouTube explain how Jesus was actually very rich when on earth. He made a lot of valid points and basically I feel like I've been lied to again. The reasons are as follow: 1. Mary was a descendent of king David and therefore had generational wealth. 2. Staying in a...

Is there any place in the Bible where it says not to keep the sabbath, but to change it to Sunday then?

I always thought Sunday worship is super strange and more Christianese, than accurate. I mean why would the resurrection cause them to change the day of the sabbath? Jesus said to keep the sabbath. Granted he said Sabbath was made for Man, not man for the Sabbath but still... why change it...

I liked these when I was a teen and cool. 😎

Earth is flat. 🤣 😜 It amazes me we are still having these conversations when even the ancients knew everything was round. Think of the sundial (the shape is round) for telling time by the sun. A practice we still use but don't think about. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west...
