Do You Think God Will Lose His Value If Everybody Becomes Rich ? by tosyne2much(m): 12:04am On Oct 26, 2014 |
I have been pondering over this and I felt I have to let it out. I'm just that type of person that strongly believes God Himself is a very wise man who believes He will lose His value if everybody becomes rich and everything comes in abundance as far as this earth is concerned Aside salvation, I have come into conclusion that majority of people who serve the Lord serve Him for the benefits of it and the special blessings attached to serving Him. More often than not, you see people who are desperate serving God in times of hardship, hard labour, poverty and joblessness drastically drift away especially when everything becomes rossi. Don't get me wrong cos I'm not saying they would start going to the house of an herbalist , I only meant their desperation for serving God and attending regular church service will reduce in a sort Let's be practical here and this is not a time to quote Bible verse Do you agree that God will lose His value if everybody becomes rich ? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

solomon was rich. sheiks are rich.. there is this void in man that only the thought of a supreme being can feel theism ( believing in a God) atheism ( arguing the non existence of a God) besides define d word "rich"... nobody ever has enough. man is insatiable... a dollar short from a 100 billion dollar is 99billion,999million,999thousand,999dollar every man is searching for that extra dollar when we become d richest in the family, we wanna be d richest in the community, then state, then country, then the world.. bill gates and some big boys r thinking of harvesting asteroids from space for their economic value. after having 1000 likes on this post, 1001 wouldnt be a bad idea bro |

The world won't be balanced if everyone is rich. Some rich people have the same religious mentality of the poor, so technically, God would still have value. |

tosyne2much:@ --> bolded, these thoughts and question should never have crossed your mind! First, God is not a man! its wrong to liken a creator with his creation! Second, God! according to Christians, they say he is unchangeable! and according to Muslims, he is "All Wahhab" meaning the (all giver). Even if he decided to give everyone wealth in equal amount, he can never lose his value! so rating God is an understatement and also a sin. so OP! kneel down and do the needful Regardless of one being a believer or an atheist, if you are destined to be rich! you will even if you don't say a single prayer and if one is destined to be poor, they will even if they sleep and wake in prayer. So seeking salvation in times of hardship changes little or nothing except God wants to prove a point in your life. Even in this present day, some people give less or no credence to God for his love, protection and care over them. so even if we were all equal, that wouldn't change except God wants it otherwise. though he gave us the free will to decide on our own but there will still be other things lacking aside wealth that will make you call on God each time. So bro, abeg clear your head about matters of the supreme being and focus on prayer and worship. |

Hell no! It doesn't change him one bit. He is actually the person that provided all this wealth, so its his anyway. The funniest thing is that the earthly riches or wealth is small compared to heavenly wealth or riches. Its due to this kind of question that Jesus told his disciple that it would be harder for a rich man to enter heaven that for a camel to pass through a needle hole. Happy Sunday! |

LogoDwhiz, it changes something my broda.. If it won't change anytn, then why do people hold tightly onto God and remember Him in times of hardship ? Let me tell you, that we have to strive and suffer on earth b4 we get our daily needs is the best thing dat can happen on earth, if not people will no value God the way it ought to be if everybody have to live in luxury and wealth |

tosyne2much: One thing u don't seem to understand is that, either you're rich or poor it doesnt't change him as long as you are a child of God, u serve him, obey his commandments and preach the gospel. The only i notice that when people get rich, they don't serve God as much as they do when they were poor. This is the closest point that could corroborate your assertion about God. |

LogoDWhiz:this is what we are both talking about. |
Re: Do You Think God Will Lose His Value If Everybody Becomes Rich ? by LogoDWhiz(m): 8:50am On Oct 26, 2014 |
tosyne2much: Ohh. Sorry bro! Now i get your point. Well, if everyone is rich, they might not have regard for God who provided it for them. So yes, you're right! |

In Nigeria, there's a big possibility because majority of people who call on God do so because they seek success (money) in whatever they're doing. But reality check: everybody can not become rich! If everybody is rich then its total collapse of the polity. Check U.S and England for example, not eveybody is rich, there are still poor people there, but they poor have access to the basic things of life, which are readily cheap. All the more reason why you see that on weekends in England, almost everyone goes to the stadium to watch football. Give Nigeria an economy as strong as England and you'll see that the 'God' factor is erased and relegated to the background. 1 Like |

He just won't giv his children wat wud destroy them. A billionaire wudnt give his 6 year old a million dollars cuz that baby will spend it on toys and toffees - he cud literally kill himself. An adolescent may blow it on cars,pro.stitutes,video games,drugs,gadgets,wild parties etc So some christians aint just qualified to handle big money. And flattering God aint gonna work,cuz He looks at the heart. |
