This is a very specific question. Why are members of the episcopal church the 3rd highest average income earners in the USA
Is their some sort of conspiracy around them?
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.
Is their a specific reason as to why they generally have higher incomes and live in better areas
Probably not
You may be generalizing, I'm not sure.
If we were talking about Hollywood and Scientology I'd agree, but in this case I doubt it.
Ah ok
Perhaps it’s due to the fact a large portion of them live in New England where the average eu come is much higher
That maybe the case. Never look a just the income. The difference between income and cost of living that really matter.
Yes
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.
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.
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.
Yes
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.
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.
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."
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.
The Trinity is a complicated thing, I don’t know if we could ever truly understand it
It was just how he described it sounded a bit off.
Yeah
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.
when you said that we exist within him it sounded pantheistic or panentheistic.
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
sorta, not same person though
I know
ok
It’s hard to explain
I know
God is Jesus, but they are different
So its just hard to just say in general
Different roles, from the same source
they are the same being/essence but different persons
That’s a good way to put it
Yeah, I agree
gotta go eat dinner
You are the glove and God is the man. If you let Him into your life and heart, you will become so much more and so much more powerful than a glove on a table. Have the spirit of God reside in you.
God is one being but there is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
