I think that he condemned him for thinking all he would need in life was a good crop and a place to store it instead of his relationship to God. He should have shared some of it with poor people. The key message was verse 15 Guard against greed...a man's life does not consist in the ambundance of his posessions. You can't take your earthly possession to heaven, only things that you store with God. How is it related to the sermon on the mount? they both express the need to share and not be so self centered!

I think he was speaking figuratively because you need to store somethings up for use in your daily living and to help those who are needy. I think he meant not to store up things for a greedy purposes. This is not a new teaching as there are several places in the bible that tell the same thing.

Jesus taught that if you forgive then God will also forgive you. Jesus makes it clear that we must forgive, if we are to be considered childern of God, otherwise he will not forgive us. Since Jesus was so determined that we learn that we must forgive to be forgiven we do not dare not surrender to his wishes.

We think that we are self-sufficent and do not need anyone 's help..sometimes we think we don't need God's help either. We must remember that all things come from God..he gives the ability to earn a living for ourselves and our families. We should remember to share with the needy.

!. we are praying about the concerns of his kingdom and asking his to be on earth also. 2.because we have so many sinners that need his help 3. Our prayers should be in tune with and guided by God will..not some petty thing that we want done for ourselves

We honor God by our words, actions, and our heart. Also by the choices we make in life. We dishonor his name when we use his name in vain..even the one word so many use"GOD"as a expression of surprise or when we are angry. We should start each prayer with blessing for OUR FATHER who looks after each and everyone of us. We should remember he is the holy father to all of us. I am sorry I have not anwered any of the questions for awhile. I have been ill and also my PC has not been working right. Glad to be back with you all.

I believe that Jesus wanted you to have a happy loving marriage..I don't think that he would want you to stay in a marriage that was abbusive or harmful to you children. I think that he was speaking about the love of your heart and if that is not there it is alright to get a divorce.

We should take **** as a very serious sin..one of the 10 commandments. We think that it can not lead to any thing but most of the time it does. We need to look at people with a "brotherly love" not as something sexual...look at them as God's creation and a part of our "Christian family" I liked one reply that stated "Send Jesus to answer the door when Satin knocks". We all need to practice this in our daily living.

I would first tell him to ask for giveness from God then seek counciling from people trained to help people like him. I would show my love and support to him and invite him to attend church with me and talk to my minister. When you are tempted over the internet or Tv you can always delete or change the station..at the beach or pool you can always leave and find another place to enjoy the sun. You are athe one controlling your choices..make the right one!!!

Poronography leads to many problems..the worst is using children who are not old enough to understand the cocequences ! Postitutes date back to the bibical times..I think they were wrong then as they are now. It amounts to **** and adultery..things that are against our commandments. We are all victimes of this victimless action.

God gave us sexual drives for two purposes...to show love between husband and wife and to have children. When we stray from these facts there can trouble for all concerned. In our world today there are so many temptations it takes a strong person to resist straying. MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES!

The similarity us that both come from the heart and you are breaking you vows to each other. The difference is on was actually done while the other was just thought about..both can lead to heartbreak for your spouse. I think that **** also breaks the commandment because it comes from your heart and thus deception and unclean. One must keep true to yourself and your spouse if you want to have a happy marriage and show your love for each other.

Jesus taught us to"Love the Lord God with all our hearts and souls and with our mind". The second thing he taught us "to love our neighbor as ourself". If we follow these commandments we will not committ murders, become angry,or insult anyone.This will be tasks that we must work on each and every day of our lives though thoughts, deeds, prayers and the greatest of all LOVE.

I think he is pointing out that we need to settle our differences as quick as possible so o harm will happen to anyoen.I think he is talkign about our sins against God- we need to ask forgiveness or we will stand in judgement with GOD on our"judgement day". Whe you don't ask for forgiveness you turn into a unhappey person and can not rejoice in the feeling of forgiveness and the love of GOD.

When we hold something against someone or they against us we have an" unclean "heart so we need to "cleanse" our hearts before we seek worship with God. We should seek God in prayer and ask for forgiveness and then try to reconcile with whomever we have wronged or whomever has wronged us. We should go as far as needed to work out our differences. Sometimes it will not happen so we should let God through our prayers work with us and the person whom was affected. God softens the hardest hearts if it is his will. He works in many ways to answer our prayers.
