"Here is another slant to all this keeping a pound in a vault business.

1/ What is the goal of this 40 year old man with the idea of putting a dollar away in a vault, hmm?
2/ Does this man consider the impact of inflation on his buried and hidden away savings, hmm?
3/ Does he understand at all that the money hes put in the vault, is going to be eroded by inflation, hmm?
4/ Does he know there are better money saving ideas than hiding money away in a vault, hmm?
5/ Whats my #5 question again. Its skipped my mind. Sorry.

I saw this on another thread and I thought of this one.


Proverbs 17: 16
What is money in the hands of a fool; since he has no wisdom?

The NKJV renders it thus:
Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom. Since he has no heart for it?
Christianity EtcRe: Paypal £100, Right Answer! by Ranchhoddas: 9:08am On Aug 13, 2019
budaatum:
One barrier to coming up with the right answer, in this case, is the lack of use of personal experience. For some reason, many ignore their experience and disregard it's place where Wisdom is concerned
I said something about experience and research.
Instead of considering how Wisdom is acquired, most are like you, the Holy Spirit will bring it down from heaven like manna. You toil not but expect to eat despite the Lord thy God specifically [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+3%3A17-19&version=NKJV]cursing[/url] that the lazy shall starve to death! Or is it not true anymore that a lack of knowledge is the cause of death?
Wisdom is attained by work of course. Even Solomon had to make a great sacrifice before he got the chance to ask for wisdom.

We don't so much "make our intellect God", muttley, for our arrogance won't permit us, it appearing to show us the limits of our puny mind everytime we think too highly of ourselves. Which one of us after all has said, "Let there be light", and light is? What we do is understand God according to our intellect, with the idea of God as conceived by your own intellect different to the same God from the same text as conceived by the intellect of some. Is it not, afterall, the amount of intellectual work to gain an understanding that one has done that makes one's God have abominations and another's God love the abominable? Is the reason for argument on here not because we all have different understandings of God?
What is your own understanding of God?

It is only the evildoer who benefits from the lack of use of intellect, for in the dark called ignorance does it get to promote its evil ways. Those with Intellect, it being the proper use of the senses, the 'science of living', the 'Jesus Christ', might understand that education is the mud that opens the eyes, which without, one can not turn the other cheek
What sort of education?
Do you have a specific kind in mind?

There was a reason you were excluded from the paypal, muttley. You may refer back to your first answer and perhaps see why. 4 pages later, in a thread of "Thou shalt not create graven images", the lesson remains unlearned.

Those who understand, as I said, do "not go about creating graven images of God with [their] puny intellect as if it was watching from high on a mountain". "Those who store wealth in moth proof vaults from birth as suggested do not use their stored up wealth to create graven images because they and their intellect serve the Lord."

You are not "curious to learn", muttley. You already assume to know it all and are too afraid to learn, and typically, you accuse the twig in my eye with the forest in yours.

Someone said that? I hope I commended them! The Hebrew is the second commandment.

Jedidiah was indeed a young king when he asked God for wisdom (why the adjectives, by the way?). I've always wondered that only the wise ask for wisdom, and then he goes and commits three grave errors of coveting wives, horses and gold, foreign ones at that!

Weird behaviour indeed!
Even wisdom has its limits it seems.

And thus, well done, hard working Hoddas Sir, did you work out the meaning of לֹא-תַעֲשֶׂה לְךָ פֶסֶל, וְכָל-תְּמוּנָה that came out of the MoG.
I don't know Hebrew. But I believe someone said it's "no image, no sculpture." I went through the first part of your reference and I did not see anything. I'm a bit stumped here.

Now, with the second in mind, though I confess to yet seeing how specifically loving my Lord my God with all my heart and soul and being, I must add, and mind and my neighbour too, equates to being in receipt of wisdom, still, let it be assumed that all agents are wise though we have not yet clarified how they got wise.
From one hint you gave on an earlier page; becoming wise hinges on the adherence to the great commandments as given by the Messiah; but the one who seeks wisdom has to be pragmatic, intiutive, studious etc. Every day you live and everything you experience contributes to the wealth of wisdom you possess. There is no end to the acquisition of wisdom. Deciding to obey the great commandments is wisdom in itself no?

How much wiseness would be in a wise vault of a wise 40 year old who put in a wise pound every wise month they lived wisely?
I am tempted to say 40year worth of wisdom but this would be assuming that wisdom is a straight line. That the 40 year old man is necessarily wiser that say a 35year old man. The more you live; the wiser you get embarassed
But Jedidiah was a young king when he was imbued with wisdom of the Divine kind, so that answer would not be strictly accurate.

The revelation should eliminate the zero wise pound people who make saving seem like devil worship instead of school fees.
Saving is great. This is actually the pragmatic approach to acquiring wisdom. Does this mean 40-year worth of wisdom is what the man has?

This whole thing is making my head ache literally. shocked

budaatum:
Ecclesiastes 2:26 is the more relevant one. At least as far as the question asked goes. The "fear" in Proverbs 1:7 should perhaps be "revere", or "love the Lord" even, though it might depend on the abundance of the heart of the person whether they need to fear, revere, or love the Lord. And James, or rather, Jacob, his rightful Jewish name, would mean a lot when he says "ask God". Which hardly answers the question on, which with a little thought, was, "How does one ask God for wisdom and knowledge"? Or rather, what is it that one must do for God to give one wisdom and knowledge? A question you rightly answer with "Please God" in Ecclesiastes 2:26.

I believe it would be remiss of me not to follow in the steps of one who asked, "and what shall I do to enter the Kingdom of God", for it implies the Kingdom of the Wise with assumptions of worthiness. So I'll ask the question more relevant to my status.

How, please, hoddas, do I go about pleasing God?
Hmmm...

I'm sure theologians could write dissertations on pleasing God if they wanted.
But I believe the Messiah already explained how as simply and as succintly as only the Messiah could grin

Matthew 22:36

"Teacher what is the greatest commandment in the law?"
Jesus said to him, "you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind". "This is the first and great commandment, and the second is like it." "You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets"

Obviously, what the Messiah was saying was that every other commandment will be fulfilled if these two are obeyed.

Ergo, if you obey these two commandments, God will be well pleased. cool

budaatum:
Solomon the "peaceful" and "friend of God" is my most admired person in Scripture. From the abundance of his own heart he asked for wisdom and knowledge, and:

God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.”

Reminds me why I don't pray. It would after all be odd to go "Lord, give me knowledge and wisdom", all the time as if it would drop down like manna from heaven.

What work does one do to be given or to attain wisdom and knowledge, Hoddas?
Proverbs 1:7

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom


James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.

I find this verse to be very interesting in relation to this thread. Take a look.

Ecclesiastes 2:26
To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

The plenty work? I wonder.
Plenty work, plenty rewards I presume.


Well, lets perhaps not jump ahead of ourselves now, I'm not exactly wealthy, it's why I raised my summer fund with this thread.
Wasn't talking about your "wealth", I was talking about the hypothetical man's 480 pound wealth. I understand the confusion though.

"Wealth", that which would be treasure that is stored where moths don't eat it, is for those who do the work and have treasure to store, and if it truly is treasure, and would be shared, it ought to "bring them (that receive of it) to the right understanding of wealth, its uses and methods of acquisition", or the treasure is in vain, and doesn't do whatever it says treasure ought to do which is, enrich
Okay.

I guess the next question, worker hoddas, is, what enriches? But I know you work. I seen you working.
So lets start with, what is the work?
.
Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom, and in all your getting get understanding.

Wisdom enriches, it brings forth good judgement.

King Jedidiah knew this when he asked for wisdom when God offered him a blank cheque.

The work would be attainment of wisdom.
Christianity EtcRe: Paypal £100, Right Answer! by Ranchhoddas: 6:47pm On Aug 09, 2019
If these are clues then... embarassed
budaatum:
The above, in fact sounds like Platonism's "Form of the Good", the "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" Christianity, the goal of the Philosopher King who reigns in heaven, those who would be the Messiah of the world and not that of everybody else who is ruled or waiting to be saved.
Noted.

I can't help think Christians are meant to learn to bear their own cross first before helping remove the twig from the eyes of others. Or can those with forests in their eye bear the cross of another? Are there not even some who go about, some intentionally some mistakenly, planting forests in their own and other people's eye instead of pruning branches?
The man should have invested his 480 pounds, used the rewards for himself before proceeding to help othershuh

Though Paul can't help his mysticism and the Word lieth not. The issue is, why give my wealth to lazy manna people?
Giving your wealth to "lazy manna people" is only bad if you do not bring them to the right understanding of wealth, its uses and methods of acquisition.
Is it not true anymore that sowers reap?
Remember the parable of the sower. Sowers would not reap if they sowed on stony ground or if the enemy comes and plants tares when men sleep.
Must more blood be shed for salvation?
No. But people need to know that the shed blood is already enough. More blood will be shed if people are ignorant.
My people perish for lack of knowledge.

Please note that my explanatorys so far constitute clues to the right answer, which, going by my reckoning, leaves a token sum for anyone who gets the answer right. I'll double it for ingenuity. Meanwhile, here's a rich man who might feed the starving. As for buda, you all have brains. If you used it you will be blessed. And the work is plenty but the workers few.

Thank you. A question. The unfaithful servant hid his master's wealth and put it not to profit. My hypothetical person just had a pound put in a vault every month and not where it would be stolen or eaten by moths. Where are they similar?
They are similar in that they both think they are doing the right thing. What they have in common is their lack of knowledge. Money stored rots.
It can be stolen, attacked by moths etc. Money put to good use/invested multiplies and is a blessing to the investor and those around him.

One more question. Why should one use one's treasure and talents "for the benefit of others"? Let me shout this please, Why, Ranchhonddas should anyone use their talents for the benefit of others? Do those others include the lazy modafuqas yelling, "Crucify him"? Should one be the messiah?

Pardon my shouting, its shock.
We should use our talents for the benefits of others because there is no better way to use them. A life of sacrifice and helping others brings more fulfillment than any other.
If you don't, you are cheating yourself anyway.
Selfishness/miserliness helps no one. Not even the miser. I remember reading somewhere that the miser is as wretched as the spendthrift. Talent must be put to good use.
The messiah prayed for his killers on the cross saying " Father forgive them for they KNOW NOT what they do"

So the matter turns on knowledge. We should also include our would-be crucifiers because they wouldn't crucify us if they knew better.
Our acts of virtue can also show them the error of their ways.
