By the grace of God, what he has given me to understand.

2021-03-13 04:39:32 UTC  

Hey

1 Corinthians 1:26 Context

23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Of course, using scripture is always best: Matthew 28:16-20
New International Version
The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

This is a very specific question. Why are members of the episcopal church the 3rd highest average income earners in the USA

2021-03-13 17:50:51 UTC  

Is their some sort of conspiracy around them?

2021-03-13 17:57:52 UTC  

It's not something I'm familiar with, even searching it and reading what it's about in a wiki page, looks like something constructed and ordered by man for man. The book of Acts should be a good start to show if people are following the layout of the church or not, then you will know if its a conspiracy or grounded truth.

2021-03-13 18:48:48 UTC  

Is their a specific reason as to why they generally have higher incomes and live in better areas

2021-03-13 18:50:20 UTC  

Probably not

2021-03-13 19:08:35 UTC  

You may be generalizing, I'm not sure.

2021-03-13 19:10:46 UTC  

If we were talking about Hollywood and Scientology I'd agree, but in this case I doubt it.

2021-03-13 19:11:02 UTC  

Ah ok

2021-03-13 19:11:36 UTC  

Perhaps it’s due to the fact a large portion of them live in New England where the average eu come is much higher

2021-03-13 20:06:14 UTC  

That maybe the case. Never look a just the income. The difference between income and cost of living that really matter.

2021-03-13 20:06:47 UTC  

Yes

2021-03-13 21:35:52 UTC  

I don't really give it much thought to the wealth and lifestyles of others unless they are in need. So I don't really have an answer for that.

2021-03-13 21:41:17 UTC  

I do know that wealth is such a burden spiritually (Matthew 19:24), that even Jesus renounced his own, he didn't grow up poor. Joseph was well off, Jesus's first miracle performed while they where hosting a wedding for the governor. To set the example he gave up everything he had, Matthew 8:20.

2021-03-14 01:08:49 UTC  

Jesus is God. He is part of the trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Satan is a fallen angel. Satan is not a god.

2021-03-14 01:14:18 UTC  

Yes

2021-03-14 01:35:21 UTC  

Think of it like this, The Creator/Father, everything exists within him, his son...our king, is an extension of him that we exist in, and the Holy Spirit Flows through all of us. satan, was a cherub who became "the accuser" who is cast from heaven with his demons. But satan is also called god (g) of this world, he tried to ooffer it to Jesus when tested in the wilderness.

2021-03-14 01:37:41 UTC  

Those who are fully possessed even scream at street preachers to not mess with the god of this world.

A movie you may like, search: Book of Acts (English), on youtube. Its pretty long but not too bad job being visual while reading bible. It even shows the verses its displaying once it starts, but there is a intro before hand, so if you wish to skip that and get to the bible verses just jump ahead about 2 min.

2021-03-14 02:26:52 UTC  

I don't know how I feel about this "Think of it like this, The Creator/Father, everything exists within him, his son...our king, is an extension of him that we exist in, and the Holy Spirit Flows through all of us."

2021-03-14 02:29:36 UTC  

Then the best advice I can give, if you would hear my council, is to pray to the Lord and ask Him to reveal the truth to you through scripture. Have faith.

2021-03-14 02:30:37 UTC  

The Trinity is a complicated thing, I don’t know if we could ever truly understand it

2021-03-14 02:31:20 UTC  

It was just how he described it sounded a bit off.

2021-03-14 02:31:31 UTC  

Yeah

2021-03-14 02:32:56 UTC  

I would not claim to know everything, and if the way I wrote it doesn't answer it or yes even if it doesnt feel right, then the best course is to always go the the Father and ask him to reveal things.

2021-03-14 02:33:51 UTC  

when you said that we exist within him it sounded pantheistic or panentheistic.

2021-03-14 02:34:08 UTC  

I feel like Jesus wasn’t an extension. It’s not like Jesus and the Holy Spirit is a DLC. God just came down as another, yet same person I guess

2021-03-14 02:35:12 UTC  

sorta, not same person though

2021-03-14 02:35:22 UTC  

I know

2021-03-14 02:35:29 UTC  

ok

2021-03-14 02:35:33 UTC  

It’s hard to explain

2021-03-14 02:35:42 UTC  

I know

2021-03-14 02:35:48 UTC  

God is Jesus, but they are different

2021-03-14 02:36:07 UTC  

So its just hard to just say in general

2021-03-14 02:36:15 UTC  

Different roles, from the same source

2021-03-14 02:36:34 UTC  

they are the same being/essence but different persons
