Hahaha tinarhian become a boy wth lolx

I think prosperity is part of the life cycle, we cannot avoid it no matter how we try to turn away, same goes with prosperity teaching but not financial prosperity......

Prosperity teaching is important as every church needed a fund to run the church, and more ever if the church keep growing of course they needed a bigger place to cater the growing worshippers. without funds, we're unable to support both local and oversea missionaries or any instruments needed for worship, over the years those equipment will have their expiry date and time to service to extend it lifespan or worse case time to get a new one.....all those need funds

Having said that, its kind of rare nowaday that a boy help out in the house too. That's why I thought you were a girl.

My daughter and me do watch anime too last time - Fullmetal Alchemist but after that, not many as interesting as that show anymore, so watch less now unless there's some interesting one came up.

FMA kinda boring, i prefer those comedy with adventures

Well, maybe its for more mature audience.

Bible Devotion

2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV) -For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich."

First of all notice that, interestingly this verse is put under the title of The Collection for the Lord’s People of the NIV version of the Bible. Why? Because chapter 8 of the 2 Corinthians is talking about Church Collections, Gifts to the Church. And in verse 7 it says: But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you —see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

If you notice the highlighted bold part it's talking about the grace of giving! So 2 Corinthians 8:9 has to do very much with Providence. It has nothing to do with Spiritual in context although it can be but we need not shy away the moment subject like money or prosperity is mentioned. The problem with subject of money is that there are extreme ends which are wrong.

The very contended subject of one end has been about prosperity gospel and the other end is to say there is no such thing as prosperity in the gospel.

Let me start by saying We have a God who loves to prosper his people. (Psalm 35:27 KJV) - Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.)

Next we need to define what is prosperity according to the Bible and this is the biggest misunderstanding that christian has. Most of the time the mere mention of the word "prosperity" to the average christians, they'll say Financially Rich equivalent to Millionaires or Billionaires. Ask anyone about this, and you'll know what I say is true. This is the biggest stumbling block that causes christian worldwide not to understand what prosperity is all about.

Prosperity according to the Bible is this: To be in a position / place of no lack. It is about welfare of the said person. In fact the word Salvation or Shalom in the Hebrew means: completeness, soundness, welfare, peace It is an encompassing wholeness, holistically COMPLETE in every area, be it providence, healing, peace of mind, protection, etc.

Psalm 23:1 says this: The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. So even if you're a low income earner but you have no needs; you don't owe money to people, you have more than enough to eat, you can spend some money to enjoy your life.....you are Rich and you are in the position of Prosperity. THAT is Biblical and God is more than willing to bring you to that position. Because there are very rich people who have millions in the bank and yet is never enough for them because they have MUCH "needs".

The secret to the wellbeing of our prosperity is to keep our eyes on our Saviour Jesus Christ and not on the money. I've always said this: There is no such thing as the prosperity gospel. The Gospel is about the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ BUT when you believe in the gospel, prosperity like all other promised such as healing, protection is part of the package. I hope with all that being said, you have a proper view of this matter.

God Bless.

if you are into mecha type you can try Gundam anime.

If you like those comedy no matter what type it is associated with there's plenty.

my current watch list

Fairy tail zero
One piece
Gundam
Garo: the crimson moon
Divine gate
Gate
Schwaraken
Akagami no Shirayuki

This is what wikipedia said about Prosperity gospels:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology

Prosperity Gospel overall is not bad but it's how we implement it or how we translate the meaning of it. The word Prosperity has been used in the bible since beginning of Genesis when God first Created Man and Women up to the time of the Apostles

Not really into mecha but i did watch one which hv mecha too and abit comedy. Can't remember the name. It Gundam something.

FMA is the anime that got us interested in watching anime and its the only anime that we always can't wait to catch the next episode. The only one we view the whole episode actually.

From your list, my daugter did watch fairy tail zero and akagami no shirayuki.

Maybe you can follow Dragon ball series? latest series ongoing Dragon Ball Super on my watch list too

nothing is wrong with prosperity. i'm not against prosperity. what is wrong is that modern day churches have been preaching believing in Christ would be prosperous and willingly giving will be prosperous. this is not right.

This say a lot.

I SEE ANIME DISCUSSION

This season you must watch Boku dake ga Inai Machi a.k.a Erased a.k.a Bokumachi.

Best Mystery anime this season. Every episode will leave you wanting to see the next ep. It'll be 12 episodes too. Very short.

What's wrong with serving? serving has many meaning you know doesn't need to serve in church to be called serving, serving means love the lord your god with all your heart mind and soul

We all know pretty well that we are all sinners but do not let that to be a hindrance to us when we try to make things right. Reminding us as being a sinner should not be to a point that make all of us weak. Weak to an extend that we shy away from doing what is right, don't you think so? Oh, we are sinner too so we should just back down and turn a blind eye to a rotting way? To acknowledge that we are sinner is to begin doing self reflection and correcting ourselves to follow the path that God want us to be and NOT just merely acknowledge that and not doing anything about it but keep on giving excuses that 'Oh, I am a sinner, who is not? what ever I do wrong is already acknowledge' kind of attitude.

Before anyone start to preach about thou shall not judge, please do take a moment to think. Assuming you saw a child who is about to pick up wrong/bad habit. What would you do? Tell the child that is wrong and incorrect? Do that and you are judging him ain't you? Let it be because you refuse to judge and it will become a norm (like whats going on now in churches). On a more realistic and real world level, maybe we should just stop doing anything or even stop praying for our country to rid of corrupted government. Ain't those judging too?

And please, I am not saying Luke is wrong to say that, he got everything right in his own way. Just do not abused what he said.

Lets say, you sees something that is not right in the house of God and it is affecting Christian and being label as 'Christians believers are so fake', so you do what you can to try to change this perception by bringing this up to the churches/pastor and you are being label for breaking one of so called 'christian rule of not judging others'. In the end of the day you come face to face with God during judgment day. Tell me, do you think God is going to punish you for judging in this case? Yes? No? We have to apply our rationality in the believe in God and not being afraid of another Christian accusing you of judging other with the wrong reason.

Yes, we are NOT looking for perfection in Christian believer. So please, please stop assume that we are. As in my post #290 page 15,

We are only expecting them to be at least 1 step above us in their moral, behavior and conduct because being a frequent church goer or a leader in church, its their utmost responsibility to bearing witness to the rest out there. Ignore those and it will give Christianity a bad name which is sadly happening.

Ah, serious? I go check and it better be good. . . .

Go and watch.

Dragon ball and the like kind of drama is not my cup of tea, though. Don't know how to appreciate it.
