Wisdom

I had a short yet interesting talk with JK after 1822, about what Scoob talked about. We were in slight disagreement with his vision of living a Poor in spirit life, or really his verse usage.

After talking with JK, a few things stood out, that we agreed on, what I believe. When taking a verse out of scripture, reading a passage, we have to take it WITH the context that in-bodies it. you can't take a verse like, Matthew 19:24 says, " And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

which at first glance at just that verse, your like, Crap.. so if i make some money here, I aint gettin into no pearly gates? False, also False is the mentality that we have to be poor to make it.

read the rest.... Matthew 25-26 "When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."

This along with extensive research on this topic, and many like it... I've come to the conclusion that:

We don't have to be Physically poor, or a child, or even spiritually poor.. does God want us to be weak spiritually?

What is said in all these passages and m any more, by my understanding, is that God wants us to be all these, YES. But not Physically, he wants us to take on the mentality of being poor, Not focusing on the wealth of this world, this life, He wants us to lose our life in order to gain it for eternity. not physically, mentally

We need to live as a dead man lives, not caught up in this world, not caught up in money, prestige, worldly such things. He wants us to view the world as children do, see only His vision for us, and the world that we inhabit.

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." John 12:24

" Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3
