"He didnt come to serve your unregenerate appetites. He came to give you new appetites."

Amen. May the Lord spare us from the idolatrous mindset that wants to "serve" Jesus because of what we can get from Him in terms of material resources.

Thank you for speaking the truth!!

@inheritthepromises Propitiation means what? 2Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also MAY obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory

JESUS CHRIST MIRACLES STOOD ON THIER OWN. You can build your abundant life around them.

They were not testimoinies of the wrath of God. They were salvation from satan.

The elect were never under the wrath of God. Only the reproabte are under the wrath of God.

The elect are only prey to satan in this life.

penal substitution is antichrist. the elect were never under the wrath of God.

Jesus Christ's miracles were not proof of his divinity. Faith preceedes miracles not follows them.

Dr. Piper makes the miracles sins but Jesus said the opposite:

Jhn 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

They did not recognise the multiplying nor does Dr. Piper:

Jhn 6:30  They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

Nor does Dr. Piper do the work of God.

@88momart Why don't you pray that He give you eyes to see the many Scriptures about judging your brothers?

Wealth is God's judgment? Then He must have been really angry at Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David.

Perhaps you need to pray for your eyes to open to more than just judging your brothers but also why you think that under a "better covenant with better promises" God executes judgment with wealth.

Most preachers tell their congregants that it takes money to preach the gospel. God judge us?

[88momart]

Prosperity teachers look at their possessions and say,"I've been blessed! This is proof of God's favor!" But the reality is, their wealth is God's judgment on them. He has given them what they truly want, which is riches; this is the god that they serve. This is the ultimate tragedy...to gain the whole world, but lose one's own soul. Please, let's pray that God gives them eyes to see before it's too late.

Amen.
