Bible Note: Abram later known as Abraham the Father of faith Genesis 13:2 Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver and in gold. Genesis 24:35 The LORD has greatly blessed my master, so that he has become rich; and He has given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and servants and maids, and camels and donkeys. Job Job 1:1-3 Job's Character and Wealth 1There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil. 2Seven sons and three daughters were born to him. 3 His possessions also were 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and very many servants; and that man was the greatest of all the men of the east. Jacob Story found in Genesis 30 with v 43 stating 43 So the man became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks and female and male servants and camels and donkeys. King David a man after God's heart and King Solomon the wisest man both very rich. 1 Samuel 2:6-8 The LORD kills and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and raises up. The LORD makes poor and rich;He brings low, He also exalts. He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the ash heap To make them sit with nobles,And inherit a seat of honor; For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, And He set the world on them. It is not wealth that is bad, but the love of it. When money becomes a god and replaces one's worship of the One True God. Just because someone is rich is not a sign that they are evil. If one takes exception to a doctrine or teaching, then discuss that with out pointing fingers or naming names. This is a dangerous and unprofitable practice. Romans 14:4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. Matt.7:1; Luke 6:37, Romans 14:13, James 5:9 all speak about not judging another person. Mark 9:38-40 Dire Warnings 38 John said to Him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us." 39 But Jesus said, "Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. 40 For he who is not against us is for us. Even if someone does that which is wrong, love covers a multitude of sins according to 1 Peter 4:8. THis means we out of love do not gossip or verbally attack another. We pray for them and if they are in our sphere of influence we restore such a one. To adhere to StudyBibleForum's intended purpose, please read the following before submitting a post: 1.
