Dear Jack: If this is not a warning that we will account for our actions someday then what is ? But I have faith that the good sheppard that dwells among His sheep will lead us into all truth. It is Christ that writes His Law on our hearts and gives us His motives, and His actions, and His integrity. The sad point of this story is that the rich man had so much potential. Money is or mammon is "riches " , but not true riches..Luke 16: 11 " If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches". Unless a steward of God has been faithful over the mammon, or money, or the "unrighteous riches of this world" who will commit to that person true riches, shall God, I say not. True riches to me are those that God entrusts us to witness to, a choir, a sunday school class,a nursery, a bible study class, the sick, the lost, the homeless, the poor. Luke 16:19-31 (English-NIV) 19 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In hell, [1] where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' 25 "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' 27 "He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' 29 "Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' 30 "'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' 31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'" Notice the observations the rich man was able to make. 1. regret 2. no escape 3. bad examples lead friends and other family members to eternal separation 4. knowledge of the truth 5. hatred for the very evil that dammed their soul 6. memory As Christ would say Let those that have ears hear.. In Christ, gregor

Dear Jack: I was going back through some of the archives and came upon something. In your post to me numbered #390 you quoted Matthew 8:20 "Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." I have found something that is very interesting and seems to intimate that He may have had another meaning other than the one most literally taken. John 1: 35-39 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his diciples: and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God !And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned and saw them following, and saith to them, What seek ye ? They said unto him, Rabbi, where dwellest thou ? He said unto them, "Come and See. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. And wasn't it custom for the oldest son to inherit the home after the death of the patriarch, and by this time Joseph would have been dead. Now, your help, opinion,knowledge ect. In a previous post, you stated that when tithes are not given to God, that person is giving the enemy permission to come and take it, and you and I agreed completely. Now, when a person touches the holy tithe, in the OT a 1/5 or 20% penalty was paid or added to it. So my question is , what is the penalty for touching the holy tithe, is it still 20%. In other words, if a person owes God $500.00 and doesn't pay it are you giving the enemy permission to take the $500.00 in your possession and an additional $100.00. Help !!..gregor
